Wikipedia editor count down by a third

I’m pretty sure that anyone willing to add and cite sources about places in sub-Saharan Africa will face no hardships at all.

If a place is generally unfriendly to new people then what is the motivation to find those areas that might be nicer?

The number of editors is meaningless; the quality of their work is what matters. 50,000 or 30,000 or 300 could all have the same result.

It matters if half the active editors are spending an hour or more each day contributing to Wikipedia. It also matters if the remaining editors are fairly limited in what they focus on.
