Happy July!  
Happy September everyone!


As you may have noticed already over the past few weeks, the Bulbapedia staff has been hard at work reviewing, updating, and clarifying several of our official policies that drive many of the procedures that occur on the wiki. At this point in time, the {{bp|Code of Conduct}} and  {{bp|Blocking policy}} have been updated and we have created a new {{bp|Speculation policy}} that we hope will clarify our official stances on many issues that occur during editing and will hopefully make for a much smoother editing experience for everyone.  
As we continue our work with updating, reviewing, and clarifying our policies, we also wanted to take time to make some staffing shuffles to support the growth of the site. First up, with the upcoming re-launch of Bulbanews, {{u|G50}} is shifting her focus back to her main role as Bulbanews Editor-in-Chief. For the past 6 months, {{u|G50}} has served as our Acting Head of Anime and has helped take point on many of the anime-related policy changes that were seen over the past couple of months and has been an immense help to me personally. Relatedly, I am happy to share that long-time staff member {{u|Adil}} has agreed to step into the Head of Anime role. Please help me welcome him to the Editorial Board!


During this time, staff will also be reviewing our category of [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Bulbapedia_proposed_policies proposed policies] and mainspacing ones that we feel will be beneficial as official policies. If you have any ideas or proposals you would like Bulbapedia staff to consider, please create the page in the Userspace and mark it ready for review by adding <nowiki>{{Policy|policy|proposed}}</nowiki> to the top of the page. Additionally, you may use the talk pages of existing policies to propose ideas or suggestions for policy changes for staff member review. Alternatively, you can reach out to an Editorial Board member directly.
In addition to the above shuffle, I am also happy to recognize a handful of staff members who have been working extremely hard and have frequently gone above and beyond in their day-to-day work. Please help me congratulate {{u|Force Fire}}, {{u|Chosen}}, {{u|Frozen Fennec}}, {{u|Ruixiang95}}, and {{u|Daniel Carrero}} who are all receiving promotions as well. We can’t wait to see what you all will do in your new positions!
 
Happy editing!

Happy September everyone!

As we continue our work with updating, reviewing, and clarifying our policies, we also wanted to take time to make some staffing shuffles to support the growth of the site. First up, with the upcoming re-launch of Bulbanews, G50 is shifting her focus back to her main role as Bulbanews Editor-in-Chief. For the past 6 months, G50 has served as our Acting Head of Anime and has helped take point on many of the anime-related policy changes that were seen over the past couple of months and has been an immense help to me personally. Relatedly, I am happy to share that long-time staff member Adil has agreed to step into the Head of Anime role. Please help me welcome him to the Editorial Board!

In addition to the above shuffle, I am also happy to recognize a handful of staff members who have been working extremely hard and have frequently gone above and beyond in their day-to-day work. Please help me congratulate Force Fire, Chosen, Frozen Fennec, Ruixiang95, and Daniel Carrero who are all receiving promotions as well. We can’t wait to see what you all will do in your new positions!
