I guess it depends on whether Piotr is looking for an estimate of accounts used for vandalism or an estimate of the people who operate them. One seems straight forward, the other more challenging. Perhaps combining the categories below with sock puppet investigations and some fancy stats?

Hi everyone,
Another question: do we have an estimate of a vandal population?
I also asked this at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#How_man... but so far no good estimates have been provided.
