Consider the de minimis and sweat of the brow concepts in copyright law. Are minimal typographical corrections sufficient to create a copyright interest? I think not, based on the precedents. He's perhaps the person who's achieved the highest ratio of edits per copyrighted piece of text. :) Of course, like cleaning up court transcripts, what he doe is very useful. Merely not copyrightable, in general. The man with the most articles in Wikipedia is a little misleading. Consider the de minimis and sweat of the brow concepts in copyright law.
