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")?

Hoi, I hope not.. If it were I am a basket case. Hmmm not Wikipedia ... does Wikidata count ? What number of edits would be sufficient ?? Thanks, GerardM

I've just exceeded 38000 global edits https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Ricordisamoa. I'm done for!
uy! I have 77617. Can I excuse myself by saying that much of that is combined with my work as a teacher using WP with students?

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).
