Geni is taking a "personally interpretive" look at the actual "rule":
In order to run you will need to have 1000 edits on en.wikipedia.
I asked Geni by private e-mail: "I don't see how you're reading the words 'only one account counts' in the above statement. I only see the word 'you', which doesn't mention accounts, but does imply talking about a person, which I am one."
Geni replied with the usual humorous wit:
"Reading? I wrote it."
Geni might want to look at [[WP:OWN]], and also explain to us why she wrote the rule with the word "you", when she apparently intended that it apply to "a single user account". This seems to be yet another case of "rule creep" to try to address single, uncomfortable situations that sometimes arise. Just what I was talking about.
Guy, I'll be the Aunt Sally, if you want to throw sticks at a man who's tied down.
