There are few ways you can improve your edit counts. Try entering one of the MapRaids that we host. You can ask for mentoring and work with a mentor. Also, in USA (Self Managed) we try to hep promote editors based on their skills and not just the edit count alone. So, my advice is to check with your local champ and ask what is the best route ;)
