As far as know, less than 200 people have a Strunk & White badge here on Meta.
Why there's so few people eligible for this?
Feature-request, is editing 80 posts too hard? Can we reduce this to 50?
What is the best (fast but contributive) way to get the Strunk & White badge?
Educated guess: here on Meta we have a small number of regulars who actively curate most content on the site. Perhaps that leaves less room for others to do so, and hence not many users have the badge. I haven't checked how Meta compares to other sites of the same size; that might not even be helpful since Meta is so different from the other sites.
The criteria for editing badges (bronze: 1 edit, silver: 80 edits, gold: 500 edits) are a nice mirror of those for flagging badges; both groups are part of the Moderation badges. Some badges being harder to earn than others is not a good reason to break this symmetry; Archaeologist is by definition harder to earn than Strunk & White.
Make good, significant edits, preferably to active posts. Since you don't have edit privileges yet your edits will enter the Suggested Edits review queue, so make them count. As a bonus, you get +2 reputation from each approved edit. You have been member for 4.5 years, but no activity yet; there is enough traffic here every day to help improve the content of a couple of posts.
