Congratulations. Much like Avery, you're one of those newbies who come in and make an immediate impact. You've been accumulating edits at roughly the same rate that I've been for most of my time here, i.e. 200-250 per month. That indicates a good level of activity, although users who have stories with regularly updated character pages can accrue edits much more quickly.

As for mentoring new users, that's something I've always tried to do since becoming a veteran myself, although I don't do it as much anymore because I have so many more demands on my time. Said demands have also afflicted me with a nasty backlog on my reading.
