King of the Wikipedia editors gains noteriety in Philadelphia
David Thomsen, a 74 year old retired computer programmer from Fairmount, has made over 120000 edits on Wikipedia. He ranks in the top 200 editors and spends about ten hours on weekdays improving articles and fixing links. After a 2012 stroke he contemplates a legacy beyond edits and aims to create new articles rather than minor fixes.
