Editcountitis

Editcountitis, obsessive edit-counting disorder (OECD), is the mistaken belief that a Wikipedian's overall contribution level can be measured solely by their edit count. This is a phenomenon which some think may be harmful to processes such as requests for adminship, as well as to the Wikipedia community in itself.

The problems with using edit counts to measure relative level of experience are that it does not take into account a user's edit history prior to registering an account (posting anonymously), and that major and minor edits are counted equally, regardless of whether the edit is a typo fix or the creation of a full article. And edit counts give no consideration to the quality of the edits made.

Me

I am a resident of Montana, United States of America. I have a small family that is growing. I am an over-achiever and never stop working.

I am new to Wikipedia (membership), but have known, utilized and admired this project for years.

I am a key programmer/leader of HelpDesk creation/application at my place of business.

I am a creator and love to see progress on ANY project. I enjoy making tools, documentation, services, and pages that offer functionality, readability, logic, and ease of use.

Editing practices

• I edit anything I see that needs editing.
• I specialize in grammar and spelling.
• I specialize in newly added pages.
• I enjoy seeing a poorly designed/supported page become very clean and to the point. I enjoy reading encyclopedias.

Educational and Professional Background

I hold an Associates of Applied Sciences in Computer Systems Technology.

I am always (and will always) say that I am going back for a Bachelors/Masters. I will. I am not kidding, I will go back for an advanced degree.

I run a MediaWiki for my place of business, using it for mostly internal HelpDesk support of those in our company on the front line of customer interactions, though at this time it is branching out into new areas of the company. It is currently small, only about 200 articles, but in 6 months has received about 52,381 page views, with about 3.74 average edits per page and 6.33 veiws per edit. My business wiki is internal only, please do not ask to see it.

The Wiki we have running is only about 1/3 of the support material that we have been able to gather and create in about 1 year's time.
