As we move closer and closer to Generation V, the Bulbapedia community continues to expand. Welcome to all our new users (please read the rules and guidelines to help you contribute) and welcome to our new staff members: Tina, Umeko, and Zesty Cactus as Bulbapedia Junior Administrators and Jello and PsychicRider as Bulbagarden Archives Junior Administrators. These guys should be your first stop for simple questions about the wiki.
With more and more information about the fifth generation of Pokémon coming out by the week, we need to make sure the information we're putting out is correct. This means waiting for announcements from Pokémon Sunday, CoroCoro and other official sources before information goes onto the mainspace. As speculation often builds up before these publications come out, pages may be protected by staff. We ask that you do not try to circumvent these measures; they are put in place to ensure Bulbapedia has accurate, high quality information.
Additionally, we need to remind you all that the talk pages of the wiki are not meant for discussion of the subject of the article, but its content. Note the difference: chatting about what you think might happen, or your opinion about a new Pokémon is not permitted and should be taken to the Bulbagarden forums; discussing ways we can improve the article or pointing out flaws is what these pages should be used for.
And even though we've got new games on the horizon, don't forget about the older games. There are still lots of articles that need information and cleanup to meet Bulbapedia's standards. It's easier if we all chip in - don't be afraid to lend a hand!
