Revision window and sources

Partial coverage

This report displays 500 retrieved recent revisions — about 2% of the reported 28,783 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, 11:44 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 United Kingdom has been edited 28,783 times since it was created in 2001, by 7,994 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That works out to roughly 1,155 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 64% 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.

Within the retrieved window, 2025 carries the most recorded activity, with 267 changes. The page is currently busy: 66 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was yesterday.

This report is built from the 500 most recent revisions retrieved from Wikipedia, about 2% of the 28,783 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.
