While I can't speak for Bob, I would definitely say that wiki activity was only a part of the problem with chat, and not the ultimate reason it was deactivated. In addition, I would say we are still too close to the deactivation for accurate data. The userbase is still responding to the change, and we've barely had time to normalize.

Overall, none of these edit counts are amazing. Sure, chat may have had some effect on the counts, but overall they're disappointing as a whole. I would argue that something else is affecting activity, and that something should be done to discern this unidentified factor.
