User blog comment:Jkl9817/My very first milestone: Jkl's 500th Edit blog post/@comment-1874924-20110612191653

Although this milestone is less important than 100 edits (because that's the eligibility requirement to vote for the monthly Features) it's still worth noting.

500 edits is more or less the threshold for being taken seriously as a Featured User candidate if your credentials are otherwise in order, although most FU winners have over 1000 edits. In your case, JKL, it's probably a bit too soon because, as you noted, you're not especially active on the social side, and FU voters tend to look at that aspect as well as writing and/or illustration. Besides, to the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever won FU sooner than their fourth month. (Fanny and I did that last year.)

Anyway, I suspect you''l have 1000 and beyond soon enough, and I'm looking forward to the rest of your story.
