There's no great drop in the number of editors:

The number of new articles appearing has been dropping, but it looks like
we're just running out of things to write about- the rate of decrease of
new articles is much more than any reduction in editors. The number of
editors is fairly static, although there were about 25% more people
volunteering in 2006 when there were lots of new things to write about.

Are you denying the general decline in editors, even as Internet usage
continues to increase?
