Hi,
just a bit confused (and it is probably a 101 question):
the number of active editors that I get here
http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaSIMPLE.htm
is very well defined, and says what it means. But trouble is, it is inconsistent with the number that I get here
http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics
for active editors, and if I understand the definition at the latter correctly it means "one edit or action within the last 30 days".
Can someone please help me to interpret the numbers appropriately?
Cheers, Denny
P.S.: this is true for all WMF projects, I took simple as an example.
