Thanks Chris for forwarding that along, yeah I agree edit count isnt an
ideal indicator yet its one measure that can be used from half a world away
to indicate experience and given the user I'm trying to help has ruffled
community feathers knowledge of and being known by the community is
important aspect that a high edit count user can add....

there seems to be a
public library service behind this.
(I would observe that edit count and ability to do outreach don't
necessarily correlate that well - someone with a few hundred edits can be a
great contact point for a cultural institution and someone with tends of
thousands can be a poor one... :) )

I randomly clicked user pages in

found many 5,000+ currently editing Wikipedians, and one 40,000+
editor.
Sounds like hitting user_talk pages might be a better approach to
finding suitable Wikipedians.
