A big +1<br>
<br>
Uwe's suggestion to make the karma timebound is very sensible. That way we can boost the karma value per transaction without worrying about the "spam" of iterative edits over a short span of time (something I am guilty of, just the way I work).<br>
<br>
I also agree with the remainder of his points.<br>

<br><br></blockquote><div><br>I agree too.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br><br>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.<br>
