Smith magazine interviewed the Wikipedian with the largest number of edits, Rich Farmbrough (who as of press time, has over 165,000 edits to his account). Despite his large number of edits, Farmbrough says that he is not obsessed with Wikipedia, instead saying that his involvement, which largely involves minor edits, is instead a manifestation of his desire for continuous improvement. In fact, he mentions editcountitis, and states that he believes others have made more valuable contributions to Wikipedia. Farmbrough also weighs in on the issue of the value of using Wikipedia as a resource, and comments that it depends on what you are looking for and what other resources you have available. Farmbrough, who also runs the bot SmackBot, says that he is interested in keeping Wikipedia from "stultification", following a childhood interest in building a repository of all knowledge.

The Plain Dealer reported that there were substantial errors with the article about Steve LaTourette, a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives. For example, the article claimed that he disrupted a visit by Prince Charles to the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, a claim which was removed by an anonymous user. It appears that the inaccuracies were the result of vandalism, and in an interesting move, LaTourette's office would not correct the entries lest it appear as political interference.
