Sure, there's no problem with just considering active admins, but you need to be clear about what you're discussing. > But in any > case taking one year's numbers isn't particularly the right way to look > at this issue. One good wheel-war ... Of course, but things change so rapidly that I'm not sure data from 2 years ago is relevant. For information only, there were 11 desysoppings in the year to the end of January 2008, 9 by Arbcom. I don't know how many admins there were at that time, but I'm pretty sure there were more than 900, so 1% is still an overestimate. If you do restrict it to just active admins, it's probably a decent estimate. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
