I think "death" is overstating it. Many things show rapid growth followed by a small decline before stabilising. That's what I think is happening with enwiki (the rate of decline in many metrics has massively reduced compared to just after their peaks). You are, however, right to state that what we're seeing with admin numbers is replicated by most other statistics. It would probably be best to look at the ratio of active admins to active Wikipedians. Since both groups have shrunk since around 2006/2007, the ratio may have stayed roughly steady. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
