We do have a systematic bias that leads us to under-represent Africa, and
anywhere else where secondary sources are sparse. But otherwise I believe
the blogger is misinformed. Our page views aren't flat, they are growing
faster than the average for the Internet. And while the number of new
articles per day is below our peak, that isn't the main area of improvement
in Wikipedia, we already have over 4 million articles, most of the editing
and much of the new content is to maintain and improve the articles we
have. This is an inevitable transition in a growing project, at the
beginning all articles had to be started, now in many topic areas the main
need is for article improvement.
