I'm neutral to this proposal. As Qaz stated, it does attract meaningless competition and spam, but then, at the same time, aren't we here to monitor spam on articles, to delete such unnecessary edits? Also, with Achievements comes users. The main purpose of badges is to make users feel rewarded for their contributions and strive to continue to earn achievements through good edits (though this has been twisted and abused).
