But of those 126,301 people who have edited in the last 30 days, some of them have edited more than one article. In fact, some have made up to millions of edits (lifetime), which disproportionately increases the total. At least 5000 people have edited more than 24,000 times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits#1–1000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_...
