Wikipedia edit rate has been declining since about January 2007, and

That's... come /on/ Tim! You know better than to say silly things like

The abuse filter alone could very well account for this (the prevented

lot of patrol back in those years and - for nostalgia's sake - I tried
doing a bit over a year ago. The amount of "surface" vandalism has gone
down a *lot* since.
