Board Thread:New on Khan Academy Wiki/@comment-24786053-20140422054211

I read those terms of use and a couple related documents about using wikia. There is nothing in there about one-letter edits so it is not against the rules and thus not cheating.

Rather, I think Iplayforhim is saying it is cheap to change one letter in a document and earn points or credit for making a lot of edits. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I think that the spirit of earning points on the wiki is being broken, but not the rules for earning editing points. As such, I think it should not be considered cheating. For example, on Khan Academy there are problems that ask to subtract decimals, like 3.425-1.797. Now this problem should be done without a calculator but when I was trying to earn a lightspeed badge on that topic I used the calculator because it was faster. That breaks the spirit of earning the badge, but is still within the rules.

Tibet and Iplayforhim have different opinions about what is an edit and what should be worth points. It does not harm anyone, however, so I think everyone should be allowed to whatever they want (within the Wikia term-of-use and admin rules) and we should all just be friends with different opinions.

You guys are all cool and I like everyone on this wiki. It is ok to disagree, but it doesn't have to be a fight.
