[edit] Contributor Points

• You'll earn points every time you change something on Wikinvest, from editing your user information to contributing to articles to adding stock chart annotations.
  • The more you change an article, the more points you get.
  • You get points for adding words, for moving, rearranging, and deleting text (provided that others allow your changes to stay).
• If your changes endure, your reputation will increase. If others revert them quickly (suggesting low-quality contributions) your reputation will decrease.

[edit] Levels/Ranks

As you contribute to Wikinvest, your Wikinvest title will increase. This title is a reflection of how you compare to other contributors on the site. As you earn more points, your title will increase.

[edit] Recognition Internal vs. External

As you contribute to Wikinvest, you become more exposed to other contributors, visitors and all members of the community. But most important, not only you gain respect from the Wikinvest community but also from any visitor to this home of investment knowledge.

But how does the status of Senior Associate or Director translates and impacts your status in the real world? Here are some assumptions that show the potential benefits to those who contribute with passion to Wikinvest:

• It may help you stand out among other candidates in an interview for a financial service position.
• It will display and give feedback to you on your teaching and communication skills as you are sharing your knowledge to the community.
• You will be able to connect, discuss, share a passion and knowledge with other professionals, students or academics.
