Why? Isn't that the same as using "like" on your own comments on Facebook?

What I truly want to edit is the mindset that the "mainspace", as it keeps getting called, is more important and more noteworthy than the forums and the blogposts. Sorry, but the mainspace is and always will be the focus of this site. This is a wiki first and foremost - the fancy forums were an afterthought that wikia just added recently.

We don't judge based on a pro-rated basis, nor do we judge on the just edit count. It's based on how frequent and significant the total number of contributions are. The vast majority of previous MOTM all had a few thousand solid edits before they were nominated. One user called Shockstorm was only here a month or so, but had made a huge contribution to the mainspace articles and was recognised for it.

This is the difference and it is why the Member or Editor of the Month will only go to someone who has put in a significant amount of time into improving the mainspace.
