I find this paper quite an interesting read:
A Latent Space Analysis of Editor Lifecycles in Wikipedia
Xiangju Qin, Derek Greene, Pádraig Cunningham
arXiv:1407.7736v1
In it, the authors suggest that Wikipedians who are focused tend to stay longer
editing the encyclopedia and they’ve actually shown that understanding patterns
of change in user behavior can be of practical importance for community
management and maintenance.
Regrettably, its filled with heavy jargon and statistical models but it might
just be useful to those working on the Editor Retention Program?
