But then all the rewards will be going to the single word editors and the serious editors won't be acknowledged as such. So when new people come here and need help they'll be asking for it from the wrong source. They'll see that someone has a lot of the rewards and think "Oh, they must know a lot about this." It's not the amount of edits that matter, its the quality. I could go through all the pages and reword them slightly (i won't, but i could) then id get a lot of credit for other peoples hard work. And because all edits so far don't count that means the if before someone had added a highly detailed and accurate page on every sentinal they wont get anything for it.
