Which user made the English Wikipedia's one-billionth edit?

Ser Amantio di Nicolao made the English Wikipedia’s one-billionth edit. The account belongs to American editor Steven Pruitt, who made the milestone edit on 13 January 2021, adding a link to the article about the album Death Breathing.

The milestone counts recorded edits to the English-language edition, not the number of articles or edits across every Wikimedia project. Wikipedia’s editing history assigns each saved change its own revision record, allowing the billionth revision to be identified retrospectively.

A common mix-up is confusing Pruitt’s real name with his username: Ser Amantio di Nicolao is the canonical quiz answer, while Steven Pruitt identifies the person behind the account. Pruitt is also known for having the highest English-Wikipedia edit count among human contributors, although bots complicate overall edit-count rankings.
