Thanks, this is very interesting!

On page 156, "The most notable exceptions are the German and 
Swedish Wikipedias, presenting a smooth curve for all years of 
their activity history (even the earliest ones)."  -- For the 
Swedish Wikipedia, this might be because the initial community (in 
2002-2004) arrived after having abandoned another Swedish wiki 
website, susning.nu. That is, the early newcomers on sv.wp already 
had some wiki experience.
