As the Japanese release of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]] draws nearer and the new features of [[Generation V]] are slowly revealed, Bulbapedia faces many large-scale updates, which all of us are working hard to execute. As always, we rely greatly on our community, and there are many ways for you, the users, to help.
Bulbapedia prides itself on its community. The site would not be where it is today without the input it has received from all of you. Thanks, guys.


One major change that we've done is moving all route articles to a new naming system to include the region name. Route 1, for example, has been moved to [[Kanto Route 1]], while the former title has been turned into a disambiguation page. This means that thousands of pages need to be edited to relink to the new names. <nowiki>{{rtn|2}}, for example, needs to be turned into {{rtn|2|Kanto}}, and so on.</nowiki> In town infoboxes, new parameters have been added, as can be seen in [[New Bark Town]]. We hope to finish this job within a few weeks - which will only be doable with your help.
Some names have stood out among the masses, though. These users have all been awarded a {{bp|Golden Bulbasaur Award}} (or variant thereof) in recognition of the time and commitment they've put in. A special award this time is for the Crystal Bulbasaur - an award given to a user who has given his or her all over a one-year period. For 2009, we would like to give this to '''every single user''' that helped out with the updates regarding the English release of {{game|Platinum}} and the Japanese release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. As we mentioned above, it is the dedication by the community that allows the wiki to succeed.


We would also like to remind everyone to be careful with new information, and be careful not to insert unconfirmed rumors into pages and present them as facts. This is especially true for information acquired solely from other English websites not affiliated with Bulbagarden.
The Editorial Board endeavors to hand these out on a regular basis, but (as you've probably realized) we sometimes get forgetful. You can help us in this regard by [[Special:Emailuser/The dark lord trombonator|sending an email]] to the Community Development Officer if you have any suggestions for the next round of awards. They'll be in a couple of months.


We wish the community a Happy New Generation. Let's get to work and make sure Bulbapedia is ready for it.
Also here in a month or so will be the Japanese release of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]]. To prepare for this, we have a few ongoing tasks which you can help out with. However, if you're following the Black and White news updates, please be careful with new information, and take care not to insert unconfirmed rumors into pages and present them as facts.
 
Thanks for your help, everyone, but we aren't done yet. Let's keep improving our wiki and prepare for the next generation.

Bulbapedia prides itself on its community. The site would not be where it is today without the input it has received from all of you. Thanks, guys.

Some names have stood out among the masses, though. These users have all been awarded a Golden Bulbasaur Award (or variant thereof) in recognition of the time and commitment they've put in. A special award this time is for the Crystal Bulbasaur - an award given to a user who has given his or her all over a one-year period. For 2009, we would like to give this to every single user that helped out with the updates regarding the English release of Pokémon Platinum and the Japanese release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. As we mentioned above, it is the dedication by the community that allows the wiki to succeed.

The Editorial Board endeavors to hand these out on a regular basis, but (as you've probably realized) we sometimes get forgetful. You can help us in this regard by sending an email to the Community Development Officer if you have any suggestions for the next round of awards. They'll be in a couple of months.

Also here in a month or so will be the Japanese release of Pokémon Black and White Versions. To prepare for this, we have a few ongoing tasks which you can help out with. However, if you're following the Black and White news updates, please be careful with new information, and take care not to insert unconfirmed rumors into pages and present them as facts.

Thanks for your help, everyone, but we aren't done yet. Let's keep improving our wiki and prepare for the next generation.
