I think there should a rule which states that your article can only fall into one category. In other words, you can't claim credit for creating an article, then again claim credit for editing that same article. I don't think this has been done before, but it theoretically could be done under the rules. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 14:48, 12 January 2008 (EST)

:That would severely discourage working for depth and quality. The moment you create an article and passed the mark for "Quality new entry" (2 paragraphs, 3 refs, bunch of links, category), there would be zero incentive to improve that article any further.

:I can see where you're coming from: Endless tweaking with minor edits to boost your score isn't cool. But your suggestion seems to be quite... radical.

:(Unless you meant filing the same ''edit'' under multiple categories. Then I misunderstood.) --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 15:08, 12 January 2008 (EST)
