North Korea

The Wikipedia article on North Korea has been edited 15,585 times since it was created in 2001, by 5,992 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 616 recorded changes a year, or several every day, which puts it among the more actively maintained pages on the encyclopedia.

Within the revisions retrieved for this report, the ten busiest contributors account for about 42% 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 274 changes. The page is currently busy: 94 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 20 days ago.

Readership has been broadly stable across the last two years of pageview data. The clearest peak in that record falls in March 2026. 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 3% of the 15,585 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.
