Agree with Ashwin. That feeling of nostalgia is very powerful.
Vickram, the case of Nichalp is a one of case. It doesn't happen with EVERYONE.

:-) Thank goodness, too! 

But this commercialisation aspect is one that was asked at the WikiAcademy. It is important to explain the ethos right from the beginning. In fact, once this case is resolved, it would be good to have it documented so that it can be used to strongly illustrate the point.

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.

 It has probably got more to do with the fact that pages on the encyclopedia (even about general Indian topics) look complete and thorough

Also the fact that availability of RS affects. Infact I would say that as one of reason for my non-involvment in the WP:INR workgroup. We created most of content from MoRTH and available RS which are worthy enough to be on encyclopedia. There is so much to add about Indian Roads, but where are the sources :(

Naveen found WP:INEI , but then I was "hijacked" to Tamil Wiki :D
