Wikipedia: What it takes to be a "super editor"

10/28/21 8:00PM

Core to Wikipedia's operation are the thousands of unpaid editors who spend their time creating and editing articles, citing other sources wherever possible to make the content as reliable as possible.

Some Wikipedia editors do it casually, editing or creating certain articles where they might have some expertise or interest — but there are also some super users.

We've charted the 100 most prolific editors on English language Wikipedia, who between them have made more than 63 million edits to the site.

Top dog is Steven Pruitt, who goes by the username Ser Amantio di Nicolao. He alone has made 4.45 million edits, creating more than 35,000 Wikipedia articles along the way. Handy person to have on your quiz team.

JetBlue is raising its bag fees as fuel costs squeeze airlines

JetBlue will reportedly hike its bag fees, as the cost of jet fuel continues to climb amid the war in Iran. It’s the latest example of carriers finding ways to push rising costs onto travelers.

Last week, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said that if fuel prices remain elevated, fares would need to rise another 20% for his airline to break even this year.

As CNBC reported, when one airline raises fees, others tend to follow.

Earlier this month, JetBlue hiked its first-quarter outlook for operating revenue per seat mile to between 5% and 7%, saying that strong Q1 demand helped “partially offset additional expenses realized from operational disruptions and rising fuel costs.” Now, the carrier appears to be making moves to further boost revenue to offset those costs.

Earlier on Monday, JetBlue rival Alaska Air lowered its Q1 profit forecast. The refining margins for the carrier’s cheapest fuel option — sourced from Singapore and representing about 20% of Alaska’s overall supply — have spiked 400% since February.

JetBlue did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
