In this paper, we investigate how Wikipedia editors leave the community, ie, become
inactive, from the following three aspects:(1) how long Wikipedia editors will stay active in
editing;(2) which Wikipedia editors are likely to leave; and (3) what reasons would make
Wikipedia editors leave. The statistical models built on Wikipedia edit log datasets provide
insights about the sustainable growth of Wikipedia.
