Wikipedia
Pulsifer became an active contributor of Wikipedia on December 10, 2001 under the username SimonP, just after hearing about the site from The New York Times Magazine. While studying for his bachelor's degree he said he spent over six hours a day on the Wikipedia website. As of January 2011, Pulsifer had made more than 111,000 edits and started almost 3,000 articles on Wikipedia. He is an administrator.
Pulsifer's level of productivity at Wikipedia has resulted in him becoming a subject for human interest stories in the local press. Together with Jimmy Wales, Pulsifer made an appearance on the On Point show, on August 2, 2006. In December 2006, TIME published its annual "Person of the Year" issue. In light of the rapid gains in user-generated content, TIME did not choose an actual person and instead named "You." The issue contained a feature about Pulsifer. On February 6, 2011, Wikimedia's Executive Director Sue Gardner presented him with a token of appreciation from the Wikipedia community for being one of the most prolific writers and editors.
