Genetically modified organism

The Wikipedia article on Genetically modified organism has been edited 5,483 times since it was created in 2001, by 2,421 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 218 recorded changes a year — a steady weekly rhythm rather than a constant one.

Within the revisions retrieved for this report, the ten busiest contributors account for about 61% of the changes. Editing that concentrated usually means a small group of regulars is doing the maintenance, which tends to produce consistent wording — and also means the page reflects a narrow set of contributors. In the same window, about 18% of the retrieved revisions came from bot accounts, which handle routine work such as link repair and reference formatting.

Within the retrieved window, 2019 carries the most recorded activity, with 189 changes. 15 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 31 days ago.

This report is built from the 500 most recent revisions retrieved from Wikipedia, about 9% of the 5,483 recorded edits. Figures drawn from that window describe the window only, and the report cannot establish why a change was made or whether it was correct.
