which is from 2006 and only for the English Wikipedia. According to
that site, there are slightly over 150,000 registered contributors who
have made at least ten edits on en.wp. That number jumps to about
300,000 when all languages are included

is from late 2006.

For English Wikipedia, we have more recent stats: [[Wikipedia:Editing
frequency]], which is basically an update of the active userbase
through late 2008.
I've written a bit about this. See:
