Convention
The Encyclopedia SpongeBobia Convention has officially started! After the convention rules have passed, several topics have been opened by AMK152. The following policy review topics require input from the community. Please give your input. Click on any of the following links to go to the policy review:
A policy review for the definitions section of the policy has been opened.
A policy review for the Hurt and Heals section of the policy has been opened.
A policy review for the section about user conduct in the policy has been opened.
A policy review for the communication policy has been opened.
A policy review for the content policy has been opened.
A policy review for the sourcing policy has been opened.
A policy review for the promotion policy has been opened.
A policy review for the demotion policy has been opened.
A policy review for the blocking policy has been opened.
If you are confused, don't be overwhelmed by the vocabulary of the size of the project. Right now, the convention is simply a event where the policy will be completely reviewed and different sections of the policy are divided into different policy review topics. In the policy review topics, you can add a subtopic suggesting changes and/or saying which rules should be part of the bylaws. Bylaws are rules/policies that will not be changed on a regular basis.
Be sure to check the convention board in the forums for updates about the convention!
Notices
The News Team editions are now in the third volume due to the convention starting and extra parts being written.
New to ESB? Be sure to read the policy and editing guide before contributing. Hard to find articles to edit? Pages listed in ESB:Maintenance and require editing.
The wiki's third administration review has started! When inputting, please keep in mind that the point of the reviews is to provide feedback to the administration. It is highly recommended that you provide a reason for you vote, whether it is a keep, neutral, remove, or suspend.
Do not worry about grudge votes or being too busy to contribute. The bureaucrats will discuss after the reviews and take real life and personal votes into consideration.
The news team is looking for dedicated editors who are willing to write a part every 2 weeks at the moment. There are no requirements at the moment, so feel free to ask a member about it if you are interested. It is highly recommended that you have a skype, however, so that you are aware of updates in the news team.
Several users have resigned as listed above. We wish them all good luck with the future!
