Hi Aaron and Shannon,

Could you clarify " Average hours of spent by editors by segment (5+ edits
and 100+ edits)?" If that's referring to logged-in time, that information
might be available, but keep in mind that a number of contributors do a
variety of Wikimedia-related activities off-wiki, so the measure of time
spent on-wiki will understate the total number of hours spent by
contributors on Wikimedia-related activities.

Regarding numbers of editors, keep in mind that some humans may have more
than 1 account, sometimes for legitimate purposes and sometimes for
illegitimate purposes. Also, getting an accurate count of "anonymous"
editors is difficult.

I don't mean to sound critical of the questions; I just want to emphasize
that answers are likely to be incomplete. (:

Regards,

Pine
