I think we need to contact dormant editors and ask them why they stopped editing. Here is something to think about - is there such a thing as a "lifecycle of a Wikipedia" where a person goes through stages & finally burns out?

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. -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan.

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.

I don't think IEP criticism went mainstream in India. It has probably got more to do with the fact that pages on the encyclopedia (even about general Indian topics) look complete and thorough. We will have to work on marketing and design a campaign that makes it easy for prospective long-term contributors to grasp what Wikipedia's all about. We should think about working on highly targeted campaigns augmented by real life events - something like "Wikimedia Bollywood Project" using geo-targeted banner campaigns which may elicit interest from potential contributors by making them more aware about how we function. Design and proper marketing can take us a long way. _______________________________________________

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.

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.

:-) 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.

Only one 'age' appears to be missing: the age when the Wikipedian decides that one might as well earn some money editing Wikipedia, even though it is expressly forbidden and hugely frowned upon. They then hire themselves out to ponytailed education businessmen, and when this is discovered, many Wikipedians express their deep sorrow and regret, and remember the good old days when X was such a straight arrow. -- Vickram Fool On The Hill <http://communicall.wordpress.com>
