User blog:A5637/Don't be going edit "crazy", guys.

Well, as most of you know, we just got new badges! Yeah!

Unfortunately, this has led to some...unfortunate editing practices. For example, I edit a page. Within A MINUTE, it is edited again. Sometimes twice in five minutes. Cool, if all the edits were both meaningful contributions. But that's not always the case.

It appears that in our rush to get higher on the leaderboard, we're sorta just "not caring" about what we're changing.

Things that are good edits (in my small opinion) And, that's pretty much...it.
 * Add new info. Sorta obvious. If there is new information about a user, add it to their article. Self-explanatory.
 * Fix a mistake. If you see something gramatically wrong, out-of-date, or just incorrect, change it. We want the wiki to be made of truthful, well-organized information

I'm not giving any specific examples, but when I look at the edit history for some of the articles, I just want to facewall for hours. . Unecessary editing is NOT COOL.

I'm not saying I'm not privy to this as well. Some of my edits could be considered "uneccesary", I'm not denying that. I'm partial to shiny badges and a place on the leaderboard as well. Just remember, the badges are virtual. They don't really mean ANYTHING in the real world.

Think my comments were justified/unjustified? I suppose you'll tell me in the comments.
