"There really should be an award for editing 1 million Wikipedia articles. But when former pizza delivery guy and Indiana resident Justin Knapp became the first person to break that milestone on April 18, all he got was a tiny announcement posted on Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales discussion page.\n\u201CToday Koavf became the first wikipedian with 1 Million edits,\u201D wikpiedian TonyTheTiger posted on Wikipedia.\nThat\u2019s cool, but couldn\u2019t they at least give him a trophy? Or, like, a job?\nThere\u2019s not really a comparable accomplishment in the online realm: maxwellhill, a user of social news site Reddit, snagged his one millionth karma point last year. But karma is awarded through other users\u2019 upvotes on each of your posts\u2014it\u2019s limitless. Theoretically, a single post could get 1 million upvotes, and you\u2019d have a million karma points for exactly one minute of effort.\nKnapp\u2019s work and time, presumably, are quite finite. \u00A0\nFrom his user page on the site, where he goes by Koavf, we can glean the following about Knapp: He\u2019s 29 years old, Christian (a \u201CChristian radical\u201D according to his profile\u201D), joined Wikipedia in March 2005, and has degrees in political science and philosophy from Indiana University. Most of his edits are on the topics of politics, philosophy and religion. He thinks his Wiki prose needs work, but he\u2019s a solid editor and copyeditor. (\u201CI am pretty clueless about how to structure several kinds of articles which are popular on Wikipedia,\u201D he wrote.)\nKnapp\u2019s a volunteer at Wikipedia, like every other user, so what does he do for a living? \u201CI do all kinds of odd jobs for money, but my most recent forty hours a week was pizza delivery,\u201D he told me in an email. He added parenthetically: \u201Cwhich I lost two weeks ago due to a downturn in sales :/\u201D\nThe hardest working editor on the sixth most-popular website in the world is an under-employed former pizza delivery man. Something\u2019s not right about that. \u201CThe search for truth is rich because of reciprocity between persons,\u201D Knapp wrote on his user page.\nWikipedia is a non-profit and probably won\u2019t ever hire this guy (even though that would be downright reciprocal). But, hey, maybe Britannica could use his services.\nEditors note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified Jimmy Wales as the person who announced Knapp's 1 million edits milestone."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
