In the couple minutes I watched I was surprised that almost every edit I saw was either a sporting event or popular media (bands, albums, celebrities). I would have expected more diversity in changes especially considering that current state of the world and politics. The only update I noticed from the Ukraine site was from Kyiv and was a pop-band.

I've had Wikipedia random page as a browser starting page for years, and pages about sport (events or teams) and popular media are among the most common occurences. I believe those are just low hanging fruits for most Wikipedia contributors.

Could be users farming reputation. Interesting observation.

I'd wager it just reflects the most approachable, easy edits.

Imagine tweaking the page of your favorite Netflix show vs. making an edit to Covid-19 or Ukraine/Russia pages.
