Why isn't any reputation awarded for reviewing in general? Especially close requests take a while to read the question and answers, duplicate question close requests often require a deeper knowledge of the topic. It does not seem to be a very popular task to do since there a tens of thousands of close requests in the queue. Would awarding reputation help to get this done?
On the other hand I often see an edit is already approved unchanged while I was working on improvements, reputation awards might animate a few individuals to click through approve till the stack is empty.
What are your thoughts?
