The Foundation list is in a tizzy. Internal statistics for the English Wikipedia have not been compiled since October 2006. Independent analysis shows the activity of the Wikipedia community appears to have been declining during the last 6 months. New users are off 30%

QUOTE(nobs @ Wed 10th October 2007, 5:47am) 60% of "normal edits" are made by pimply faced Admins. How do you know what they look like? QUOTE(Somey @ Wed 10th October 2007, 6:18am) there were other things that happened during that timeframe too - like the whole BADSITES brouhaha, Citizendium, and the totally unfair re-banning of User:Blissyu2, each of which probably caused at least 200,000 WP users to quit in disgust and revulsion. And of course the banning of Poetlister and friends, who were making over 50% of the best edits. |
