Here Are the 20 Most-Edited Wikipedia Pages of 2015

Yesterday, Wikipedia released its list of the most-edited Wikipedia articles of 2015, compiled by Wikimedia Foundation's Aaron Halfaker, who also released a similar list last year.

This list can be loosely broken down into super obvious stuff that you'd assume people would edit (i.e., "Deaths in 2015" "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant," or "November 2015 Paris Attacks"), as well as extremely specific Wiki pages such as "Geospatial Summary of the High Peaks/Summits of the Juneau Icefield," "List of the works of Bastien and Henry Prigent," or "Pangako Sa 'Yo (2015 TV series)." The former category Wikipedia surmises were edited by oodles of people, while the site guesses the majority of the edits on the terrifyingly specific Wikipedia pages were conducted by one individual.

• Deaths in 2015 (18,121)
• Geospatial Summary of the High Peaks/Summits of the Juneau Icefield (7,291)
• 2015 in sports (6,163)
• 2015 Pacific typhoon season (6,130)
• Charlie Hebdo shooting (5,202)
• Miss World 2015 (4,792)
• ATP World Tour records (4,764)
• November 2015 Paris attacks (4,675)
• Asia's Next Top Model (cycle 3) (4,474)
• List of the works of Bastien and Henry Prigent (4,424)
