Active as what? editors? 849 As admins will last time I saw stats for we had about 500 admins averaging 10 deletions a month or more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dragons_flight/deleterlist Beyond that mostly guesswork -- geni

Is that >1 edit/month, >5 edits/month or >100 edits/month? (>5 for all editors is 43000, >100 for all editors is 4330.) - d.

Well, the first answer is "not enough" :-) The second one is largely meaningless, because even if we can determine who is 'active' on Wikipedia, they are active in different areas. For example we have admins who focus on vandal whacking, admins who largely deal with deletion, admins who deal with OTRS issues etc. And some are active as writers/editors, but rarely use their admin powers. -- the wub

David, It depends what you define as active. Most of my activity as an admin is focussed on the unblocking list where I am one of the list admins. On average, I would look at 40 to 60 e-mails a day but that may not show up in the stats. Regards Keith Old On 4/22/07, David Gerard <dgerard(a)gmail.com> wrote:
