I agree too.

Because wiki can be edited simultaneously, there is always a possibility of
conflict. That's why I am fond to making small edits and saving. Just like
working with machine that has random BSODs.

That too isn't a perfect equation but there is no available. For example
categorization of pages gives a hell lot more karma than editing one article
from stub to near perfection.

btw, has karma recalculation been disabled recently? I have a strong feeling
that my karma hasn't moved since monday (or maybe earlier) at all.
