Particularly, I don't think it would be a bad idea to get the patrollers to be able to participate. Before anyone thinks otherwise, I personally do not want to be in the raffle, patroller or not.

But the reason I think it would be a good idea to have the other patrollers be able to participate is that statistically patrollers have only made 70 edits this month (not including me, since I currently can't really edit with some problems I'm having.) It would be a good idea to let patrollers join in too, so that there is more activity as a whole. The purpose of the raffle is to encourage editing.

Furthermore, sampling some recent uploads on the wiki, I'm not sure if we should entirely do an byte size on image uploads, as long as the images are all correct. I noticed the smallest correct image I found was only 150kb, with the largest correct one 450kb. Granted, I didn't look long, but seeing images small as 150kb still working means it's probably better if we didn't even put a limit on it. Besides, it would be extra work to check for byte size as well on images too.

I've also noticed a problem with the idea of basing edits on byte size. What if a user does an edit and it's not a positive byte size? People do edits sometimes to clean up articles. Should their work be ignored?
