To a very crude approximation, there are approximately 8.2 million accounts which have at least one edit on English Wikipedia - at least assuming my SQL query is correct! http://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/1911
This is all user accounts with one or more edits in the contributions record; it does not contain IPs, and it does not contain any accounts whose sole contributions have since been deleted (which is probably quite a substantial number). Conversely, it includes a vast panoply of single-use vandalism accounts, sockpuppets, etc etc etc. And bots, of course. Andrew.
