Hey everyone. In case you missed it, look! New Main Page layout! Shiny.
Thank you to everyone who filled out an application form for the recent staff drive. We had over 130 Bulbapedia, Bulbanews, and Archives users wanting to be part of the team that keeps the wikis running. That's a huge amount. Obviously we can't hire everybody, but please give a warm welcome to new Bulbapedia Junior Administrators {{u|Ataro}}, {{u|Dennou Zenshi}}, {{u|Force Fire}}, {{u|MisterE13}}, {{u|Spriteit}}, {{u|Turtwig A}}, and {{u|Toon Ganondorf}}. Over on Bulbanews, {{u|Water Max}} and {{u|BaileyPlaysPokemon}} have been selected as new writers, with columnist announcements delayed until the new year.  


If you want to have your work featured in this box up the top here, get in touch with {{ut|the dark lord trombonator|trom}}. The content changes every day, so if you want your writing to be the first thing everyone sees when they visit Bulbapedia, pick a topic and put together a few fun facts our readers may be interested in. This is a great way to get involved with the Bulbapedia community.
There's also been a few promotions within the existing wiki staff. {{u|Kogoro}} will now be formally heading Bulbagarden Archives, and {{u|Kenji-girl}}, {{u|Maverick Nate}}, {{u|Werdnae}}, and {{u|Zesty Cactus}} join the re-energized Editorial Board.


If you really want to get into the community, why not apply for a staff role? Bulbapedia, Bulbanews, and the Archives are [[n:Bulbawikis_start_staff_recruitment_drive|currently hiring]]. If you've been around for a while, have a handle on the rules and a clear head, then check out the job descriptions on Bulbanews and fill out an application form. We look forward to hearing from you.
Congratulations to those above, and others, on their new roles. And congratulations to you, the humble Bulbapedia editor as well. It is thanks to your hard work that we end the year with over 20,000 articles. That's an increase of over 2,000 pages since this time last year. But the work isn't done yet! In case you hadn't noticed, we're having another Christmas contest this year — the {{bp|Festive Frontier}}, where you can win prizes simply for editing. Check it out if you haven't yet, and the <span class="plainlinks">[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f590/ other Bulbagarden contests]</span>, too. There's something for everyone (although we feel somewhat compelled to emphasize <span class="plainlinks">[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/twelve-days-christmas-2011-staff-appreciation-awards-nominatons-day-2-a-123665/ Day 2]</span> of the Twelve Days of Christmas contest...).


Happy editing!
Happy holidays!

Thank you to everyone who filled out an application form for the recent staff drive. We had over 130 Bulbapedia, Bulbanews, and Archives users wanting to be part of the team that keeps the wikis running. That's a huge amount. Obviously we can't hire everybody, but please give a warm welcome to new Bulbapedia Junior Administrators Ataro, Dennou Zenshi, Force Fire, MisterE13, Spriteit, Turtwig A, and Toon Ganondorf. Over on Bulbanews, Water Max and BaileyPlaysPokemon have been selected as new writers, with columnist announcements delayed until the new year.

There's also been a few promotions within the existing wiki staff. Kogoro will now be formally heading Bulbagarden Archives, and Kenji-girl, Maverick Nate, Werdnae, and Zesty Cactus join the re-energized Editorial Board.

Congratulations to those above, and others, on their new roles. And congratulations to you, the humble Bulbapedia editor as well. It is thanks to your hard work that we end the year with over 20,000 articles. That's an increase of over 2,000 pages since this time last year. But the work isn't done yet! In case you hadn't noticed, we're having another Christmas contest this year — the Festive Frontier, where you can win prizes simply for editing. Check it out if you haven't yet, and the other Bulbagarden contests, too. There's something for everyone (although we feel somewhat compelled to emphasize Day 2 of the Twelve Days of Christmas contest...).

Happy holidays!
