- Hello! Thanks for making me feel welcome. I’m a bit new, so most of the edits I make get reverted haha. I’m a bit curious though because it’s always the same user: Remsense. Is he particularly known in the editor community? I’d love to learn more about so called “notable editors” and how they manage to make and keep track of so many edits on many articles. Thanks!

- User:Remsense has a very long watchlist. He keeps popping up on my watchlist too. He works very hard at keeping unsourced and irrelevant fluff off Wikipedia. Sometimes this frustrates new users who aren't familiar with the Manual of Style. I believe he does a good job. Masterhatch (talk) 21:13, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
- This answers a lot of my questions, thank you. I do have a few more, if you don’t mind :) How do the more notable editors have such a vast amount of knowledge in so many things? It could be anything ranging from the Navajo New Year to the illegal trade of pangolins. Do they gain this knowledge simply from just reading articles over time?

- I don't know how someone would have such a vast knowledge of things for wikipedia any more than i would know how someone on Jeopardy! would know so much about those trivia questions. To take a guess, though, if one were to read the sources provided, one would know if what's being added to or changed on wikipedia is a good edit or a bad edit.
