Here is a list (compiled on June 8, 2003) of the 200 Wikipedians who have made the most edits on the wiki. Thus it indicates cumulative activity over time, not current activity. Some older edits may not be counted because they were dropped by the old wiki software or got overwritten by database glitches, or because the user changed login names.
The list gives some impression of who are the heavy contributors - although only very roughly so, since many of the edits of those high in the list will be spelling corrections and such, or even part of an edit war, whereas someone who created a number of long new pages or major additions might well occur much lower. Also, people who often edit when not logged in will appear lower in this list than they would otherwise.
Of course, we want the general public involved, including those people whose only edit may have been to fix a simple obvious typo. As of June 2003, Wikipedia gets around 3,000 edits a day - many of which are made by people who are not on this list. We appreciate all their excellent contributions.
