The silver badge "Strunk & White" -- Edited 80 posts is referred to Questions or Questions/Answer? I've edited more than 80 posts (https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/56567/cornelius?tab=activity&sort=revisions), but I unearned this.

    Some of those edits are for the same post, so presumably you've not got 80 independent ones. – Joseph Wright♦ Aug 28 '14 at 9:07
  • @JosephWright Ok, I understand. – user56567 Aug 28 '14 at 9:20

    Needed to say, some of the edits, despite they got approved, are very questionable. Editing a new line into a new paragraph etc. doesn't seem like a way how value is added to the site. These things are pretty minor and some of your suggested edits should have been IMHO rejected. – yo' Aug 31 '14 at 22:24
  • Related, and the main source of Werner’s answer: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/442/…. In the comments over there, you’ll also find links to Stack Exchange Data Explorer queries counting your relevant edits. – doncherry Sep 1 '14 at 15:54

The following restrictions/requirements apply:

  • Edits to community wiki posts do count (source)
