Agree with Logic. India Road Transport articles are babies in
comparision with their American or European counterparts. There is so
much to add, stuff that I've seen myself but camou add it because of
lack of sources. I had posted about this last year. Yesterdays
featured article was a highway

Hey, we expect people who have moved on to different things NOT to cut all
ties but to return back out of nostalgia, often enough.

:-) Thank goodness, too!
But this commercialisation aspect
True. The age old What's in it for me? syndrome. Tell new users that
contributing to Wikipedia is rewarding in non monetary ways. Money may
make the world go round, but Money does not buy you the simple joys of
editing.

I think we need to contact dormant editors and ask them why they

Th life cycle theory is very much applicable here. I've come across
several retired editors who retired because they were students who now
had work commitments or working people who wanted to free up some
time. Then we also have politics.

Should be. Yes. However do remember, new users editing was on a steady
decline thru 2010. To add to it, remember the IEP and the negative
publicity it generated. Enough to scare new users away.
I don't
And also express how Wikipedia can be fun. That fun factor makes a
whole world of difference.

India in Jan-Feb are such hardcore Wikipedians as RSrikanth05, Joyson
