So Piotr, if I understand you well it is about the
question how many of
the people who are our "contributors" according to the statistics (per 5
edits a month, or 100 edits a month) are actually vandals? I could imagine
that some vandals manage to make 5 edits before being blocked, or lose
interest before they are blocked, and appear in the statistics.
Kind regards
Ziko

I know of the categories, but the problem is
that they do not seem to
be comprehensive. I can estimate, based on them, that there are at least
150k or so editors who were banned for vandalism, but it seems many vandals
do not make it into those categories, suggesting this number is
underestimated.
Still, we should be able to get some estimates. We know, for example,
that something like 5 or 6 million of accounts have made 1+ edit on
English Wikipedia. How many of them were indefinitely blocked? This should
give us some idea.
Alternatively, we know how many accounts make an edit to Wikipedia every
given timeframe. About 100,000-120,000 editors make at least one edit to
Wikipedia each month. If we knew how many are indef blocked in that period,
that would be another useful estimate.

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?
Cheers

Hello Piotr,
I believe that in Chinese Wikipedia, "blocked indefinitely" is a user
category called Wikipedians that are blocked indefinitely "被永久封禁的維基人"

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_ma…
so far no good estimates have been provided.
