Pinging Analytics to ask about editor longevity data (:
My understanding is that newbies (<= 10 edits) are more likely to disappear
early in their "careers" than they were 5 years ago, but that editors that
have been active for years are likely to remain active for years.
It would be interesting, as part of the strategic plan process, to work on
improving editor retention. I believe that this may be related to our
treatment and training of newcomers (onboarding, civility, NPP, Teahouse,
etc.) in addition to external changes in our environment (e.g. the rise of
Facebook).

our past, in which we must delve The well of our future,The clear water we
must leave untainted for those who come after us,The fertile earth, in
which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many hands,And the broad
fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how much we do not
know.*

On svwp there has over the years been 45 individuals
who have each made
more then 38000 edits.
Of these 45, 44 are still active, only one has left (in 2009) making 97,7
still around. For the users with less then 38 000 edits, only about 6 out
of 10 is still active.
Is this a global valid number, that when you have made 38000 edits you are
fully addicted to Wikipedia ("until death do us part")?
