I'm locked out again, but I had an idea for a new clause about the Arena Forum edit requirement. Rather than splitting hairs about the number, why not make a more formalized procedure for granting exceptions? Similar to requests for promotion, I propose we add a section to the rules called "Requests for Arena Access" where a user can suggest some large project(s) that will make up for inadequate edits. Unlike the RFP's though, we don't want to flat-out reject the poor requests, rather suggest additional/alternative projects. Here's the wording I had in mind:

Exceptions: "The powers that be recognize that as the gaps of content are filled in, it becomes significantly more difficult to reach the edit quota. Therefore, any user who has not yet met the edit quota may open up a request for special arena permissions.  Included in the request should be a list of projects (preferably ones they plan on doing as opposed to having already done) that the user believes are the contributive equivalent of however many more edits they need.  Administrators should not reject applications, rather suggest additional/alternative projects when necessary."
