there is a lack of continuity studying editing behaviors,
it is all one-off studies, not longitudinal
they only know editor decline because it's an easy data dump.
that said, there is some data from editations being gathered by eval
testing group.
we fund editathons because the primary goal is
Now that the Arbcom case has concluded and the punishments have been
imposed, I just wanted to welcome Carolmooredc and Neotarf to the list of
editors who have been banned from Wikipedia. I now its a hard pill to
swallow, but all good editors end up here eventually if they stay long
