Pessoal,
Compartilho abaixo uma análise bastante profunda feita pelo estatístico da
Wikimedia Foundation rebatendo os números usados pelo Wall Street Journal.

*Conclusão do post:*
Both the all-inclusive definition of the term *editor*, and the systemic
error, make the survival analysis as used a highly questionable method for
analyzing the size of a community for recent years. By not realizing these
inherent weaknesses the Wall Street Journal drew and published conclusions
which are completely out of line with reality.
In wikistats we will continue to use editors with x+ edits per month as
measure for ongoing activity. This measurement tells us that the number of
editors that contribute monthly above a certain threshold has been
relatively stable in the last 12 months, even more so for our core editor
base, people that made 100 or more edits in a month.
