I've complained previously about the increasingly hostile attitude of Wikipedia editors and robots to new editors. These complaints surface in the research, and are having an impact on editor retention rates. "The rate of rejection of all good-faith new editors’ first contributions has been rising steadily, and, accordingly, retention rates have fallen. What this means is that while just as many productive contributors enter the project today as in 2006, they are entering an environment that is increasingly challenging, critical, and/or hostile to their work."
