Partial coverage

This report displays 500 retrieved recent revisions — about 2% of the reported 23,929 edits. It cannot establish why a change was made, whether it is correct, or what happened outside this window.

Retrieved for this report: Aug 22, 2026, 1:31 PM UTC. Totals and pageviews are source-provided; the activity signal and section list are derived from the retrieved window.

What this edit history shows

The Wikipedia article on Israel has been edited 23,929 times since it was created in 2001, by 5,846 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That works out to roughly 966 recorded changes a year — an article being rewritten in small pieces almost every hour of the day.

Within the revisions retrieved for this report, the ten busiest contributors account for about 39% of the changes, with the rest spread across a long tail of occasional editors. That is a fairly typical mix of regular maintainers and passing corrections. In the same window, about 5% of the retrieved revisions came from bot accounts, which handle routine work such as link repair and reference formatting.

Within the retrieved window, 2025 carries the most recorded activity, with 302 changes. 40 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was today.

Readership is cooling: the last three months of pageviews run about 41% below the preceding period. The clearest peak in that record falls in June 2025. Traffic spikes and editing spikes often line up, but the revision record alone cannot tell you which one caused the other, or whether an outside event drove both.

This report is built from the 500 most recent revisions retrieved from Wikipedia, about 2% of the 23,929 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. For older revisions, talk-page discussion and full context, follow the source history on Wikipedia.

TheCherryPandaLater in this very article is stated "The Washington Post's 2021 survey of scholars and academic experts on the Middle East found an increase from 59% to 65% of these scholars describing Israel as a 'one-state reality akin to apartheid'." This was even before Israel's reputation plummeted in the time since October 7.
