Jordan Peterson

The Wikipedia article on Jordan Peterson has been edited 4,510 times since it was created in 2011, by 1,218 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 287 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 44% 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 6% of the retrieved revisions came from bot accounts, which handle routine work such as link repair and reference formatting.

Within the retrieved window, 2024 carries the most recorded activity, with 257 changes. 20 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 17 days ago.

Readership is cooling: the last three months of pageviews run about 48% below the preceding period. The clearest peak in that record falls in November 2024. 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 11% of the 4,510 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.
