Has Wikipedia Peaked?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday October 11, 2007 @01:58AM from the overworked-and-unpaid dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After more than a year with no official statistics, an independent analysis reported Wednesday showed that activity in Wikipedia's community has been declining over the last six months. Editing is down 20% and new account creation is down 30%. After six years of rapid growth and more than 2 million articles, is Wikipedia's development now past its peak? Are Wikipedians simply running out of things to write about, or is the community collapsing under the weight of external vandalism and internal conflicts? A new collection of charts and graphs help to tell the tale."

Re:It's the Administrators! by Anonymous Coward · 2007-10-11 06:52 · Score: -1, Flamebait

Right on. The continuous censorship of many administrators is so fucking annoying that it turned me into vandalizing articles from time to time to have my moment of fun too. I don't contribute anything anymore, let alone donate... They alienated the community. I say: fuck'em. And that Wikia chief is an opportunist asshole. I'm gonna root some more stuff now as we speak.
