Partial coverage

This report displays 500 retrieved recent revisions — about 26% of the reported 1,948 edits. It cannot establish why a change was made, whether it is correct, or what happened outside this window.

Retrieved for this report: Oct 6, 2026, 2:07 AM 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 Sam Altman has been edited 1,948 times since it was created in 2009, by 918 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 112 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 41% 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, 2026 carries the most recorded activity, with 341 changes. The page is currently busy: 70 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 34% 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 26% of the 1,948 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.
