49,000 Volunteers leave Wikipedia

There is always a slump in the amount of new things that we learn about, over a period of time. It's the same with Wikipedia as well. The famous online encyclopedia is considered as the best Internet knowledge based site in the world. The English version of the site lost about 49,000 contributors in the first three months of this year. There may soon be a little less for us to know. Strangely though, the reason of the fall includes several smaller things. Wikipedia was founded by one Jummy Wales in 2001 and enjoys 325 million visits a month. The articles are based on contributions of site visitors.
