Hello,
to complete what Aaron said, a research I did showed that the creation of
new article by a newcomer is a very good predictor that this person will
become a regular contributor or more (on French data, but I would be
surprised if it was not the case for the English Wikipedia).

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.
