User blog:BobNewbie/Ponies and Portal 2, and other stuff

Okay...this is really hard for me to do. But it's just something I feel I have got to say.

You aren't that good

Okay....this is really scary for me to do but I would just like to remind some of you about something. Blog comments DO NOT make you a better editor. I see some people telling others that they have 5000 or 4000 or 3000 edits. They don't.

Why is this so bad? Well, some people have 3000 edits, and out of those, only 80 are actually edits to pages on the Wiki. Then, they go on and on about how proud they are. Not that everybody should feel bad; you people have edited on the Wiki and tried to improve it, and should be proud.

Look at this, Special:Editcount. Type your name in there and look at how many edits you actually have and how many of those are blog comments. See what I mean? That number on your userpage is actually very fake.

Okay...so I know I'm new here and I know how much fun you guys and gals have here so I'm gonna look like a total stooge. I decided I'm not going to give out any names and real edit counts on here because that would be going too far.

Remember, I'm just giving this as a little word of advice, not an insult to users. I would also want to thank those users who actually do edit in the content namespace too. You should be proud.
