Yes, it's not fair, but this is the truth on wikimedia project that ones have to admit. Imagine if, all wikimedia sites has a single user login since when it is first established, the one who first register will own that username for all wikimedia sites.
The person with less edits, doesn't mean that they are less active than the one with more edits. And according to, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_count,
``Edit counts do not necessarily reflect the value of a user's contributions to the Wikipedia project.''
What if, some users have less edits count,
- since they deliberately edit, preview, edit, and preview the articles, over and over, before submitting the deliberated versions to wikimedia sites.
- Some users edit, edit and edit the articles in their offline storage, over and over, before submitting the only final versions to wikimedia sites.
While some users have more edits count,
- since they often submit so many changes, without previewing it first, and have to correct the undeliberated edit, over and over.
- Some users often submit so many minor changes, over and over, rather than accumulate the changes resulting in fewer edits count.
- Some users do so many robot routines by themselves, rather than letting the real robot to do those tasks.
- Some users often take part in many edit wars.
- Some users often take part in many arguments in many talk pages.
What if, the users with less edits count, try to increase their edits count to take back the status of primary account. What if, they decide to change their habit of editing, to increase the edits count,
- by submitting many edits without deliberated preview,
- by splitting the accumulated changes into many minor edits, and submit them separately,
- by stopping their robots, and do those robot routines by themselves,
- by joining edit wars.
What do you propose, then? A Name Asignation Committee?
