It shouldn't get deleted—on a quick read, it looks like it meets Wikipedia's notability policy.[1] :-) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability

Wikipedia admin here. The edits that added the copyrighted material have been deleted, so this diff[1] isn't exactly accurate. That said, I've just fixed the history page so that the deleted edits actually appear, even if you can&

Does anyone have a better map? Would like to see if I'm in the highlighted range or not - I'm pretty close to one.

OP here. I'm planning to write something up on the most-viewed articles as well, but maybe a day or two after January 1st. I wanted to be able to capture the full year, unlike here (where we had to cut off half of December). Keep an ey

While I don't have a large sample size to prove this, incredibly high edit numbers on these sorts of non-news events tend to be just one person. These people are unpaid and can focus on whatever they want, and sometimes they just want
