[WikiEN-l] Little edits or big edits in the mainspace?

Having been on Wikipedia since 2006 but with most of my significant work
being described by a handful of "read, read, read, write, write, write --
edit" overhauls or creating new pages, I'm always a little self-conscious
when non-Wikipedians ask how many edits I've tallied. Hundreds! OK, probably
a thousand but surely not thousands... this is why my user page contains the
userbox:

*This user believes that a user's **edit
count<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editcountitis>
 **does not necessarily reflect on the
**value*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_theory>
* of their contributions to **Wikipedia*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia>
*.*
