Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-4050367-20150204125851

Hello all. This is the next official announcement thread of 2015. I have many topics to discuss today, so I'm going to get started right away.

First of all, it's a new month which means time for re-voting! I see that Featured Series has been busy lately, but to date the rest have either one entry or none. I'd just to remind you of the existence of all five features: Featured Series, Featured User, Alien, Character and the new addition, Object! Featured Object, as a reminder, is where you can vote for your favorite or most important MacGuffins, Omnitrixies, etc. This category is very young, so we need some activity on it to keep it alive! So get on voting!

Secondly, this month is the return of Alien Fest. I know we've slacked off before, but it's critical that we don't slack off this month. Soon, either one of the administrators or a select user will be chosen to host Alien Fest. Nominating aliens will occur 2/5-2/9. Voting for aliens will occur 2/10-2/13. Valentine's Day will be the beginning of the new Alien Fest.

Next, a reminder of the Project:Archive pages for January-February 2015, in addition to the end of pages for November-December 2014. The pages for January-February are as follows:


 * Alien X
 * AmpFibian
 * Armodrillo
 * Big Chill
 * Brainstorm
 * Chromastone
 * Echo Echo
 * Goop
 * Humungousaur
 * Jetray
 * Lodestar
 * Nanomech
 * NRG
 * Rath
 * Spidermonkey
 * Swampfire
 * Terraspin
 * Ultimate Humungousaur
 * Ultimate Swampfire
 * Water Hazard

Now to bring you up to date, here's some recent news. As of 2/4/15, we have blocked 5 accounts. Five blocks may not seem bad, but that's like one block for every week of 2015 so far. It's also 8% of the number of blocks we had last year, which was a total of 70. We've almost blocked 10% of how many accounts we blocked last year, and it's not even Valentine's Day.

I'm still taking suggestions for the Page Creation Portal and what we can add to it, but no one has seemed to do that lately. I'd also like to point that we have 12 pages without categories, which needs to be taken care of ASAP.

Next, you as a community need to communicate with us. You see, we still don't know how to make wiki events like Alien Fest, Fanon Con, and others better. We don't know what you don't like or what you like. We don't know what you want us to do, or come up with, we need some help figuring stuff out.

Anyway there won't be a Year of Community blog this month, but next month will receive the first update. So as I end this, I'd like for you guys to really spend time focusing on this idea of what have we being doing that's good or not good. Anyway please respond and help us figure out how we're going to make your experience on here better.

Hail Scidra
