Hey! In what kind of new-speak is a *daily* *increase* of 140,000
somethings or 2,000 somethings, or 7,000 something a *decline*?
The headline should instead be "The rate of something is lower than
its all time peak!" or "First derivative of a non-exponential function
turns out to be flat!" ... :)
It's the truth that the character of EnWp's growth has changed in the
last year. I think Milos' comments up-thread were pretty intresting.
... but I think it's really misleading to look at these numbers and
say "decline".
