The English Language Wikipedia passed an interesting milestone a few hours ago.

The thousand millionth edit was at 1:03 AM this morning https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Death_Breathing&oldid=1000000000 the article on the album Death Breathing was amended by Wikipedian Ser Amantio di Nicolao, one of over 3.9 million edits done by the Wikipedian with the highest edit count other than bots.

Pedants may be aware that this is only the thousand million since the move to MediaWiki software and not all of the hundreds of thousands of previous edits have since been reloaded. So if we could work out the true counts since edit one it probably came one, maybe two days earlier.

But Death Breathing got the edit with the thousand million counter.

Happy editing everyone.
