Can someone explain how can a page with only half a dozen short point-form lists be forth 40,000 Wiki points? O.o

Wiki Point Value?
I would enjoy knowing this as well, since I've seen pages with a lot of points, but not much content.
So yes, bump.
Yeah, it's weird how Marino is the top wiki editor when his top page is a few lists. I think adding links give you quite a few points, while images are 25 points each.

" It had a ton of information before but there was a wiki task for the page because it was too cluttered so Marino (the guy who made it in the first place) made what it is now. Also, why the fuck do you care. "This seems like a logical answer. I guess they care because they fear of unfair treatment?
" @Jeffsekai: But I don't see how a bunch of links + a few paragraphs + a few images + the wiki task point bonus add up to over 38,000 points. Must have been a huge bonus. "
Did you read what I wrote bro? I said it used to be huge but he had to tone it down because it was too cluttered.
" @Jeffsekai: I would like to think, the wiki points at the side of the page would be some kind of indicator of quality and the care users took to make and maintain a page. At 40,000 points, I assumed it would be one of the best pages on the site. "He had to take a lot away from it.
Stop fucking posting if your not gonna read what I said.
" This page got broken somehow if I remember correctly and had to be pared down. Will page Marino here and let him explain. "Its also on a number of other pages. Is it the same for all the others?
Jeffsekai is right. Originally, I had every year's awards all on one page. The page was so large that it was slowing down and/or crashing people's browsers. So, Dave (snide) asked me to split it up into individual pages for each year. If I had the means to do so, I would deduct the points from the primary page.
But that's how it happened.
