I just had a look into it. While it is fairly easy get the points up to 150 or even 300, 650 already need some serious dedication. After 650 you probably maxed out some of the badges which will give 100 points at repitition. So while the initial 250 edits will give you 160 points in total (bronze, silve, gold), repeating the badge (another 250 edits) will give you 100 points.

I see some people adding a huge amount of categories here. Not sure if that's gaming the system but I haven't seen them gain contrib levels yet and then again that takes a lot of categorizing to get that badge after all.

When I look at some of the larger wikis, I see that at some time edits approach points and the point/edit ratio even gets below 1. So the top 19 contributor of the tardis wiki has 4k points with 2.5k edits. The top contributor has 23k points at 45k edits.

So when someone actually gets into the 4 digit range of points we should think about attributing another level threshold.
