I relied on the enwiki page because a) it does list his training and
statistics isn't there and b) his meta page directs people to his
enwiki page (and his nlwiki page). The statistics are presented in a
big table and with a few bar charts, that doesn't require any training
in statistics.

This is a survey not data extracted from a database, why would it be
continually recorded? You aren't making any sense.
