"data"
FYI, while the word "data" comes from Latin as the plural of "datum", in common English usage it is often used as a mass noun which takes a singular verb. So while an edit like this is not incorrect, neither was the previous version incorrect. In general on Wikipedia, when two or more versions of the same text are correct we go with the version first used in the article to avoid having people continually changing things back and forth based on personal preferences.
