Notes:
Around January 2007, the time between every 10,000,000th edit was about 6 weeks. It hovered around that mark for about two years, and then began to increase; by August/October 2014 it had nearly reached 10 and a half weeks. Subsequently editing has picked up again with 8 and a half to 9 weeks being the norm for 2015 and 2016.
The current value for {{NUMBEROFEDITS}} is 904,301,195. My calculations seem to predict that {{NUMBEROFEDITS}} will hit 1,000,000,000 by about Wednesday, November 28, 2018.
This graph is a detail of data points from July 31, 2005 to January 25, 2011.
