Aren’t like 2/3rd if all Wikipedia articles written by the same man?

Oh sorry, It’s 1/3rd of all articles he’s edited. “Steven Pruitt (born April 17, 1984) is an American Wikipedia editor with the highest number of edits made to the English Wikipedia, at over 5 million, having made at least one edit to one-third of all English Wikipedia articles. Pruitt first began editing Wikipedia in 2004. He has also created more than 33,000 Wikipedia articles. Pruitt was named as one of the 25 most important influencers on the Internet by Time magazine in 2017.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Pruitt

Yeah i was expecting this.

Yeah :D Still very impressive, he really knows what he's doing. Also we *need* people batch-editing articles like he does.
