I am not sure why these stats are incomplete after January. But they do confirm what many of us felt about what was going on in December and January...
from November to December, the number of "very active users" in en went from just over 2000 to just under 3000. That 50% jump included a fair number of people who were new to the process, and coincides with the start of some "old timer" versus "newcomer" cultural fights about things like userboxes.
This is why there is a perception that at times there have been conflicts between "admins" and "the community". In the past, there was no question at all that "the community" and "the admins" were just about exactly the same people.
