Re: [Wikimedia-l] User retention statistics?
Thank you all for the replies, I need some time to process this information. Cheers Yaroslav 1. What is the average lifetime of a Wikipedia editor (for instance the one with at leat 1000 contributions)? I recollect smth about two years, but I am pretty sure I have never seen any research on this. How does it depend on the number of contributions? 2. What are the main reasons why these editors stop editing? Is this correct, for instance, that external reasons are much more important than internal (on-wiki troubles and wiki-related harassment) reasons? The same for say those above 1 edits? Thanks in advance Cheers Yaroslav __**_ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.**org Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/**mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-lhttps://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

Re: [Wikimedia-l] ombudsmen commission
Without commenting on the quality of the work of the Ombudsmen, I'll just point out that there has never been a vote for this position.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] ombudsmen commission
Hi Anne, it was however common procedure to ask publicly for applications before making a decision on who are the best candidates. Maybe they are the best there are - maybe not, we'll never know. As an unrelated sidenote, I still hope the committee will public an annual report of her activities in summary (as I suggested a few members privately).
