Your research isn't that great, for a number of reasons- -Xbony2 (talk) 00:02, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * You're measuring in edit number, quantity, not a combination of quality and quantity. A lot of the people at the top of the chart in edit count are translators, who can get, say, 10 edits for translating one page, which might be less effort than making one big page, which might only take 3 edits to complete.
 * Obviously we had a lot of a new accounts in early 2015. We just moved to Gamepedia. Maybe many people were moving over?
 * Most IP (and many regular users') contributions are things like simple spelling fixes and value adjustments after seeing an error. Is it really a surprise that they don't contribute again, with or without a welcome?
 * I'm not really sure how I'd quantify edit quality. We know that bytes or wikipoints are pretty shit ways of quantifying that.
 * I couldn't remember when we moved to Gamepedia. I figured that was the case, just wasn't sure.
 * I don't think that's true. Many of the contributions I saw were adding new or fixing wrong information, not fixing grammatical things.
