Hi Shannon,
I'm not sure about the Geographical Distribution, but I agree that the information at the top of the page seems to imply that the data is from 2013.
Regretfully, my retention query was killed because it was running too long. https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/17500 I'll start a new one on our analytics servers. I'm flying to the same conference you are so are today so hopefully, I'll be able to give you some good news when I land (tomorrow afternoonish).

Thank you all, this has been very helpful.
A couple follow-up questions:
· The geographical distribution https://web.archive.org/web/20161024063241/https:/stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageEditsPerCountryOverview.htm is from 2013 correct?
· Would someone be able to create an updated graph of editor retention on English Wikipedia up to 2016? It doesn’t have to be just ‘good-faith’ editors, I know that would be much more work. This is the one we currently have, but it would be great to have it show recent years: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:The_Rise_and_ Decline#/media/File:Desirable_newcomer_survival_over_time.png
This will be part of a presentation from the strategy team, so if it’s possible to do by this Thursday, I would be so grateful.

Note that "editing session" is not at all similar to an "edit session" from this:

· Average hours of spent by editors by segment (5+ edits and
100+ edits)?
We do not keep track of session length per editor thus this data is not available.
The most similar thing I can think of is session length of editing session which is quite different. That is a heavily sampled metric that is reported via eventlogging, some related data is reported here: https://edit-analysis.wmflabs.org/compare/

__· __Number of editors who contribute 1 edit per month? __
First column of https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikimediaAllProjects. htm .
__· Is it possible/feasible to run editor retention metrics globally (versus just based on a single project?
This depends if one just wants to (deduplicate and) sum different projects, or also consider interwiki events (such as a person stopping activity on a wiki but resuming activity on another wiki). I remember something was done a few years ago to see if Wikidata removed active editors from other projects and a few "migration" paths were identified in all directions. I can't find the chart/table now though.
__· __Total number of editors on all projects over the past 16 years (not just ENWP)?____
For a quick estimate I usually make a proportion https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm# editor_activity_levels : https://stats.wikimedia.org/ EN/TablesWikimediaAllProjects.htm ~ https://stats.wikimedia.org/ EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm#editdistribution : x . If the active editors in most classes are about 1 : 2, then probably the total number of editors in all Wikipedias + all other project is more than twice the English Wikipedia's total e.g. over 10 millions (or over 2 millions if you consider the usual 10 edits threshold).
__· __Global distribution of editors by region (or country), 2016
