Hi Heather,

I did a bunch of background work on this specifically for a large set of wikis.  See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_article_creation.

Specifically, check this out: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_article_creation#How_many_articles_are_created_by_newcomers.3F

TL;DR: In Enwiki, almost 10% of NS 0 pages are created by newcomers within 24 hours of registering an account.  The majority of articles (83.6%) are still created by editors with more than a month of tenure.

Hi there,

I'm thinking there must be research about whether it is new or experienced editors who are creating new articles on English Wikipedia but I can't seem to find anything. 

Anyone know of anything like this?

Many thanks! 

Best,
Heather.
