How do you think we should differentiate between useful+non-useful edits? We could ignore an edit for the raffle if it was reverted, perhaps? Or maybe we could even disqualify people who purposely make a lot of useless edits in order to get a bigger chance of winning. That might discourage people from making spam edits. i guess not counting reverted edits would work. disqualifying people might seem a bit extreme, as some might not understand that certain edits aren't useful.

btw we should think about whether the bytes requirement has to be met within a certain timeslot, or whether past edits also count towards being able to participate. both have pros and cons. the former might lead to old editors stepping up their game again, while the latter gives a chance to people who have been useful towards the wiki but are busy the coming time
