[LINK] Wikipedia's on the wane: study

C'mon Asher, make allowance for the logistical curve.  Do you really 
think that the number of articles worth writing is infinite??

[Later] Okay, a couple of paras. towards the end acknowledge that.

Well, that's classic crap journalism, and it is annoying.  Headline the
BS, and bury reality down in the article.  The journey from the BS to
the real analysis is the narrative that is supposed to make the thing
interesting, but it gives me the feeling that someone either can't think
or is just having a loan of you.  Who jumped the shark?

A more honest headline would be: Edit rates reveal Wikipedia's initial
mission substantially complete.  Edit rates show Wikipedia's initial
extreme growth has matured towards a steady-state mode as new articles
and corrections become harder to find.

It's the very opposite of a problem.
