Partial coverage

This report displays 500 retrieved recent revisions — about 5% of the reported 9,339 edits. It cannot establish why a change was made, whether it is correct, or what happened outside this window.

Retrieved for this report: Aug 22, 2026, 1:33 PM 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 Nations has been edited 9,339 times since it was created in 2001, by 4,152 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 375 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 only about 18% of the changes. Editing that dispersed means no small group dominates the page; most changes arrive from editors who touch it once or twice. 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, 2025 carries the most recorded activity, with 163 changes. 32 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 15 days ago.

Readership has been broadly stable across the last two years of pageview data. The clearest peak in that record falls in September 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 5% of the 9,339 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.
