Yet again I have a journalist question: "How many editors are there on Wikipedia?"
I can't find any solid numbers on this. I recall a graph showing that activity per person is a power law graph, meaning there's no sharply-definable answer.
Does anyone have any idea?
Do you mean registered users or anons too? Also, do you want stats for English-language Wikipedia or Wikipedia as a whole?
Sadly, Erik Zachte's stats haven't been updated in 6 months. As of September 2006 there were 285866 registered Wikipedians (http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaZZ.htm).
