Abstract (please use no less than 300 words to describe your proposal)
In January 2010, the WMF conducted a survey of former contributors to the English Wikipedia to better understand why contributors decide to leave Wikipedia. The survey was sent to 10,000 casual contributors and received over 1,200 responses. This presentation reviews the summary of the findings.
