[Wikipedia-l] Most active contributors

[Andre Engels]

I wanted to see who is the most active contributor at the moment. To do so,
I counted (or rather, had the database count) the numbers of edits per
registered user.

The outcome can be found at [[Wikipedia:Most active Wikipedians]].

Note that in total we are slightly above 130000 edits, so Maveric did almost
10% of all edits.

Of course this is only a very rough measure of how much someone is working
on the project - correcting a typo is an edit just as much as, say, extending
a stub to a three-page article. Still, it seems that Wikipedia should hope and
pray that maveric is not getting a life any time soon...
