Messages on the online Singapore Wikipedian noticeboard have slowed, and many articles relating to the country have not found additional contributors. The community has not met offline in more than two years. Senior members of the group hope it's a passing phase. <a href="/wiki/Nanyang_Technological_University" title="Nanyang Technological University">Nanyang Technological University</a> assistant professor Brendan Luyt ... said Wikipedia 'could be losing some lustre as it tries to move up the value chain'. That has led to more checks to yield credible reports, but this could be putting off contributors. Mr Edward Yong ... believes the current trend will not affect the popularity of the website. 'The membership has always been fluid. The drop in numbers could be because of the current economic climate,' Mr Yong said, alluding to attention being diverted to issues like job security. 'Or it could be that the earlier contributors have written about most of the topics they were interested in,' he noted. 'But it is also possible that there are many like me who can't find the time to contribute; but then we come back again.
