I've never really wanted to bring this up because it's speculatory, but I feel like I should mention something. One of the reasons Alex has so many edits seems to be because whenever he's editing something he knows people will disagree with he'll make dozens of smaller edits to try and bury it in the recent changes section. For an example at one point he edited the article on Sae and people kept reverting his edits. After he reverted it back he immediately made around 20 edits within 5 minutes one after the other, edits like moving trivia up or down in the trivia section, or adding and then deleting text. I think it's the reason he posts so many pictures too.

I'm pretty sure it's preplanned too. Take a look at this http://i.imgur.com/g3hxj6I.png  http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Rivers_in_the_Desert?diff=next&oldid=289959  That's him adding then deleting text (about a concert version) from the articles for seemingly no reason, text he then adds back to different articles. I think he added the text just so he could delete the edit when he wanted.

I've seen him make similar edits on pages where people revert his edits, where he'll revert it back and make a bunch of meaningless edits, which is something I've seen people use to get the newer edits reverted instead of the old.

The only reasons I could see for him doing this would be to hide edits in the recent changes section, hide edits on his contribrutions page, or to inflate his edit count so he can bring up his edit count when people disagree with him or admins block him. Like "Hey you can't block me I have over 10,000 edits" so he seems like he does a lot for the wiki.

I can't say for certain that's what going on here, and I don't like being accusatory. But it bugs me everytime I see him discussed and I wanted to know your opinion on it.
