The vast majority of the admin actions of which you speak are
anti-vandalism ones.
Nope mostly image copyright issues.
We need the majority of existing admins as
admins not because we need that many to do the load, but because
better decisions get made the more admins there are and the more time
an admin has to fix a problem.
Which would be great if the majority of existing admins were spreading the load.
Looking purely at numbers ignores the fact that some
admin actions are
made with little thought, while some require complex decision-making.
Includeing that gets you exactly the same result. Small number of
admins perform most admin tasks while the rest are fairly inactive as
admins.
IMO, a good number of of the '100 most active
admins' are those most
likely to burn out.
Only because if you ah burn out from minimal activity it is somewhat
hard to tell.
In fact, in some respects, the concentration of admin
actions is a
PROBLEM; IMO, it shows that too many admin actions are being done too
quickly.
So figure out how to get the less active admins more active.
