Still, other people might edit the article multiple times. Some to change irrelevant things, others to simply spam edits to get badges. I think my idea (which I will describe below) is a better one, and will even help us decide who to give rollback rights/adminship/etc. to.

My idea is this:

Have an article (under Ben 10 Planet) with a list of members's names (only those who want to participate, though) and a series of points on a subpage. Points are earned when the user does good on the wiki (cleans up an article, reverts vandalism, edits specific articles designated by the admins [hence how it ties in to Sci100's idea], etc.) and are added on a subpage that only admins and bureaucrats can edit (to prevent people from altering their totals). Then, so they aren't wasted, the points would be used as a requirement for promoting users. For example, 1000 points (just an example; the actual points would need to be carefully thought out) would be required to ask for a promotion to rollback, 2000 for admin, etc.

This would require users to report their own edits to the first article I mentioned (by posting links to their edits), and for admins to add up the points on the subpage.
