Wow, someone had more than 10,000 edits in February of
2002.
Does it look to anyone else like the first five months of 2007 and 2008 were
very busy, followed by a drop for the rest of the year? If that is whats
happened, any theories as to why?

Summer break for students would be the obvious reason.
Or just good weather, generally.
You might find the inverse if you look only at Southern Hemisphere IPs.
Thanks,

the lack of good
stats on the number of active editors on the English Wikipedia, I have

I am going to forgo any extensive analysis for now. But I will say
that these trends mostly mirror trends seen elsewhere, with a peak in
early 2007 followed by a decline and then leveling out as we go
towards the present.
In September, 130,000 registered users and 525,000 anons made at least
one edit to an article. If you define "active editors" as those
making at least 20 article edits per month then 14000 registered users
and 6000 anons met that threshold in September.
