:::I could normally start with a quality article and add more pieces as I see fit. For example, our article about [[Barack Obama]] spends more than three full paragraphs only on the intro and his early life. Add a few more references to that, and you already got a QNE, so edits beyond that suddenly don't count anymore?

:::I could live with your suggestion (and it would help against potential abuse such as spending fifty edits to fix one typo each), but for it to actually lead to a better Conservapedia, the "Quality New Entry" (and "Normal New Entry") criteria would have to be WAY higher, or we'd need more levels. --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 15:45, 12 January 2008 (EST)

::::You make a good point. Either "extreme" is flawed: if we let people make as many edits as they want, they could intentionally build their article over time to inflate their score (and how would you ever know?) but on the other hand, if we don't allow more than 15 points (plus bonus when applicable), then there's no incentive to improve it. How about this (and since the contest starts tomorrow it won't be included in this one anyway): You get points for whatever level article it is. If you improve, you don't get points for editing, but it bumps your article up to the next level. Then, once you get to a Quality article, every paragraph past 2 is worth 1 point. Maybe not those numbers, but something along those lines. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 20:11, 12 January 2008 (EST)
