I went with 500 bytes because I think that's roughly the average size of a file summary when it has all the proper licensing information and templates. For example, most of my image descriptions are around 400 bytes (example), although most people who do it correctly give a little more description (hence the increase).

To put it into perspective, an edit like this is about 700 bytes: it's not huge, but still adds a reasonable amount of info. Perhaps basing image emphasis off of the description size is silly: maybe 300 bytes per image or audio file, instead? So that images will complement written content, and the focus will still be on both.

I think that as long as their edits are content additions (not reverting vandalism), then they should be counted.

They could be the same, or one of them could be more valuable than the others. That's a possibility. How would we select the three winners? Just run the script three times?
