That's around when they introduced the peer review. (Again, just the English version.) Wikibooks contributor count fluctuates a lot. Wikiquote is fairly static, but using a constant number of contributors to justify 'stagnant' isnt accurate. The content metrics of Wikiquote indicate it is still growing, at a fairly constant rate. Right; I'm personally quite disliking these statistics, as the software has no means implemented to merge edits, such as when I make a typo. I keep struggling to find means to reduce the edit count to make things easier for others to track.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] is Wikiquote in decline or just stagnant
As noted, the graph highlights that editors of Wikiquote are stable, while Wikinews (as well known) is dropping. The long-term graphs are at http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikiquote/EN/PlotsPngWikipediansEditsGt5.htm (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/42318 to have it functional). Wikiquote keeps expanding, especially Italian and Russian, and with the exception of German and Portuguese (all of this since several years ago; Polish and French go up and down): * http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikiquote/EN/TablesDatabaseSize.htm * http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikiquote/EN/TablesWikipediansEditsGt5.htm Note that it's easy for stats on Wikiquote active editors to give a false picture, especially in English where over half of edits come from unregistered users and the top class of editors only has 21 % of edits. http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikiquote/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm#anonymous Wikiquote attracts new and occasional contributors, in most languages. That's a feature, not a bug. ;-) Nemo ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
