3RR "loophole"
Noticed your question on William Connolley's page and since it's after midnight in the UK thought I'd reply in the meantime. There are lots of good reasons to make numerous small edits in a row instead of a single big one. For example, on active pages this can help to avoid edit conflicts, i.e., someone else making an edit after you've started but before you've finished. Therefore consecutive edits by the same person -- whether reverts or normal edits -- ordinarily are counted as one. Welcome to the project and hope this helps.

Look at the date on the front page. These June 15, 2006 comments were incorporated in the 2007 report making it possible to cite them from the 2007 report and reference back to the fact that they derived from comments made in 2006. I pointed out that they were incorporated in the report. They should be in the article.Rktect 23:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
