The total number of edits to the English version of Wikipedia reached 1 billion on January 12, 2021 at 1:03 local time. The memorable 1 billionth edit is called authority control on the page of the 1998 album 'Death Breathing' released by Alec Empire , a founding member of the German digital hardcore band Atari Teenage Riot. It was to add an information identifier.

The 1 billionth editing work was done by Wikipedia user Ser Amantio di Nicolao, who boasts the highest number of edits in humankind, '3.9 million times'. Most of his edits are trivial using semi-automatic editing tools such as the Auto Wiki Browser, but he has also created more than 31,000 articles, featured in the American letter The Washington Post in 2018. I am reporting an article.

The total number of edits this time is 1 billion, which is counted after the software that drives Wikipedia has moved from UseModWiki to MediaWiki , so the actual total number of edits is hundreds of thousands of edits in the UseModWiki era. Expected to be added.
