Hi, Pine

I've added this request to the Research backlog.  

Thanks,
Grace

Pinging Analytics to ask about editor longevity data (:

My understanding is that newbies (<= 10 edits) are more likely to disappear early in their "careers" than they were 5 years ago, but that editors that have been active for years are likely to remain active for years.

It would be interesting, as part of the strategic plan process, to work on improving editor retention. I believe that this may be related to our treatment and training of newcomers (onboarding, civility, NPP, Teahouse, etc.) in addition to external changes in our environment (e.g. the rise of Facebook).

This is an Encyclopedia
One gateway to the wide garden of knowledge, where lies
The deep rock of our past, in which we must delve
The well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how much we do not know.

On svwp there has over the years been 45 individuals who have each made more then 38000 edits.
Of these 45, 44 are still active, only one has  left (in 2009) making 97,7 still around. For the users with less then 38 000 edits, only about 6 out of 10 is still active.

Is this a global valid number, that when you have made 38000 edits you are fully addicted to Wikipedia ("until death do us part")?
