Serena Williams

The Wikipedia article on Serena Williams has been edited 17,259 times since it was created in 2003, by 130 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 727 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 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 7% 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 233 changes. 36 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 28 days ago. Only about 1% of all edits are flagged minor, meaning most changes were submitted as substantive rather than cosmetic — though the flag is applied by the editor and is not verified.

This report is built from the 500 most recent revisions retrieved from Wikipedia, about 3% of the 17,259 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.
