Hi Aaron and Shannon,

Could you clarify " Average hours of spent by editors by segment (5+ edits and 100+ edits)?" If that's referring to logged-in time, that information might be available, but keep in mind that a number of contributors do a variety of Wikimedia-related activities off-wiki, so the measure of time spent on-wiki will understate the total number of hours spent by contributors on Wikimedia-related activities.

Regarding numbers of editors, keep in mind that some humans may have more than 1 account, sometimes for legitimate purposes and sometimes for illegitimate purposes. Also, getting an accurate count of "anonymous" editors is difficult.

I don't mean to sound critical of the questions; I just want to emphasize that answers are likely to be incomplete. (:

Regards,

Pine

Hey folks,

I just got the following data requests emailed to me and I figured that this list is probably best equipped to answer:

·         Number of editors who contribute 1 edit per month?

·         Is it possible/feasible to run editor retention metrics globally (versus just based on a single project?

·         Total number of editors on all projects over the past 16 years (not just ENWP)?

·         Global distribution of editors by region (or country), 2016 (the last I saw is from 2008)?

·         Average hours of spent by editors by segment (5+ edits and 100+ edits)?
