70,000+

This user has made over 70,000 contributions to Wikipedia.

Note that the counter above includes deleted contributions. Please click on this link or that link for the actual count, made possible through a subpage.

Made 69,000 total live edits on 00:33, 26 October 2024 (UTC) on this page! Made 70,000 grand total edits on 04:39, 4 December 2024 (UTC) on this page!

Made 32,000 mainspace edits on 13:23, 15 January 2019 (UTC), on this edit to Toronto Raptors. Made 2000 edits on article talk pages on 12:27, 9 February 2017 (UTC) on this edit to Talk:Toronto subway public art. Made 2500 Wikipedia project edits on 23 September 2016 (UTC) on this edit to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection (requested semi-protection for Toronto Blue Jays (the article was later semi-protected indefinitely for frequent vandalism from both Toronto Blue Jays fans and fans of opposing teams)). Specific namespace edit milestones have been greatly exceeded since then. Some of these may be outdated.

1616This user is ranked 1616 on the list of most-active Wikipedians by number of "recent" edits (as of September 2013).

Note that the above counter has been outdated since September 2013 as seen in the userbox and is no longer active (the counter is kept purely for historical purposes for those who are curious (my rank in that metric has since improved immensely)).

Made 1000 edits on the then-featured article Toronto Raptors on 02:26, 22 May 2018 (UTC), with this edit. The article was heavily vandalized during that time, as the Toronto Raptors were facing the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James in the 2018 NBA Playoffs (the Raptors article since then has been semi-protected indefinitely, including during the Raptors' championship season of 2018–19, including the playoffs, its victorious NBA Finals, and winning the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy for the first time in Raptors history, which would have attracted very high amounts of vandalism (from both Raptors fans and fans of opposing teams (as usual), particularly fans of the Golden State Warriors as they were the Raptors' opponents in the 2019 NBA Finals) if it were not for semi-protection for obvious reasons, especially from the latter group). However, since September 2021, the Toronto Raptors article ceased to be a featured article due to having numerous subsequent major updates since first reaching FA status, the Raptors not performing as well, and being the featured article of the day at one point.

This book is no doubt a great reward for me and I enjoy reading it, especially with so many fun bonus features I never knew existed.

Holds the current record for the longest active editing streak on Wikipedia dating as early as November 2007 and applied for a Guinness World Record, though Guinness World Records officials later declined my proposed record as they deemed it "uncompetitive" as bots can hold this record as well, despite being software.

Miscellaneous

This user hopes that in light of massive media coverage of the blackout that SOPA and PIPA will not become a law.

• Here is my userpage during the anti-SOPA blackout in January 2012

It will definitely not be law for the foreseeable future.

Final Note

With a mighty blow using the great Norse god Thor's mighty war hammer, Mjöllnir, VANDALS SHALL NEVER WIN!

NOT EVEN ON RAGNARÖK!
