Turns out all the turmoil surrounding the release of Ye’s 2016 album The Life of Pablo made it become one of the most edited articles on Wikipedia this year.
On Wikipedia, anybody can edit anything pretty much. According to a data compiled by Wikimedia, the article for Kanye’s eighth solo studio album was altered 3,574 times, coming in at No. 19 on the list of most-edited pages for the year.
This was due to the album’s constant climate change, initially being exclusive to Tidal, than dropping everywhere two months after it’s release, multiple tracklist subtractions/additions, and new songs dropping. Either way it still got nominated for like 8 Grammy’s this year so we’ll see if this was in fact a masterplan of Ye’s. Check out the full list of 2016’s most edited articles below:
