All edits are not equal - so counting them as such can be misleading
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Editor Trends Study
Dear John,
Thank you for your constructive thoughts. I agree with you that not all edits are equal and that ideally we should discard such edits. I have been reading a number of papers [1][2] about how to detect reverts and I will try to add such functionality to the Editor Trends Study/Software.
