Is it really such a bad sign if the number of editors goes down after most content that many people know about has already been written and refined for a number of years?
I would be very surprised if the difficulty of writing wikipedia articles on 6" screens has anything to do with it.

- fauigerzigerk 11y agoThe problem is that the quality is better than most people's expertise on the subject. Back when there were no articles on some subjects, many could make a contribution because many knew more than nothing about the subject. In any event, I don't see how that relates to editing on a 6" screen.
- DanBC 11y agoWikipedia needs people to check citations and provide citations. That's really freaking hard on a mobile phone.
- fauigerzigerk 11y agoThat's a good point.
