Yes, the mean here might tell less than the median. (I.e. you'd expect 
to see very different figures for controversial and non-controversial 
articles, and lumping all articles and frequent editors together and 
averaging isn't going to be that helpful.)

As http://asc-parc.blogspot.com/ admits, they (the PARC people) have 
basically done a press release on a conference paper that won't be 
produced until WikiSym in October. This would account for the rather 
sensationalised tone of it all.
