BTW, I see that German Wikipedia is close to the same limits, too. If
someone make some statistics of other projects (for example, for
projects with more then 1.000 users), I think that we would be able to
see the same tendencies. There are only a small number of Wikipedias
which are able to make further exponential growth in the sense of user
activities: Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Indonesian... "Popular limit" of
English Wikipedia is much higher then, for example, a "popular limit"
of Serbian Wikipedia.

Those are great stats, thanks for your work!
I'm not surprised to see a
decline, personally.

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".
