Not to really detract from this, but it should be pointed out that the majority of this editor's edits were made using AutoWikiBrowser (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser), a tool that automates editing. It's used mostly for repetitive tasks such as article cleanup and vandalism reverting. So this was not one million handwritten edits, just one million edits in general.

I don't think we should be comparing wikipedia contributors on the number of edits they've made...
