It was one of the first Admin elections. (At the time, I still wasn't sure anyone would have voted for me, let alone whether I would actually get the bit.)<BR/><BR/>And, at the risk of really making your head explode a month or two before this, Jimmy Wales announced on the WikiEN-l list that he was ready to give the Admin bit to anyone who asked.

One could always count them semi-manually through user contributions - e.g. paging through 500 at a time or whatever.<BR/><BR/>Interesting to find my RFA used as an example. Back then, pretty much anyone who'd been around a few months and done a few hundred to a thousand edits got it nigh-on automatically. But then, the place was small enough that odds are, enough people at RFA would have seen your contributions, too.Matthew Jude Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635166205916243972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942189569807809109.post-72413830502188289772009-01-21T19:58:00.000+00:002009-01-21T19:58:00.000+00:00Actually, did the editcount exists in 2005 ? that'...Actually, did the editcount exists in 2005 ? that'd explain the lacks of mention to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
