So, some of you know that [[:Category:The Sims Wiki Weekly News|we have a weekly news blog]] that gets published on Thursday. This weekly news schedule went smoothly for over a year. Recently, we've been starting to miss these weekly deadlines. This is no one's fault in particular - everyone has busy lives and sometimes, even if you're available, you don't feel like putting the effort into writing a blog. But nevertheless it is happening, and I'd like to see if we can do something to remedy this.
I don't have any particular proposals, but I would be very interested in any ideas people may have. Also, I'd like to encourage anyone - administrator or not - to consider helping us write the weekly news. With some exceptions, the news tends to be written by either [[User:Lost Labyrinth|Lost Labyrinth]] or myself; having one or two more users to write it would take a lot of pressure off of the two of us and would ensure that we don't miss weeks.
Ultimately, I think the weekly news blog is a good idea and we should try to keep it going strong. - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 20:06, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

::I do have thoughts of having a "sign up sheet" in which users can pick which date they would like to write the weekly news on. I think this is a bit better than asking on IRC "Who will do this?" --'''[[:User:K6ka|k6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] | [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 20:22, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
:::I meant, would it help if we picked a different day to publish from now on? Like, instead of shooting for a Thursday publish date, we try to publish on Saturday every week, or Monday every week? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 20:30, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

A Sunday would be ideal; that seems to be the best day for things to come together. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 21:29, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
:Sunday seems to be our best bet. As for how to get the community involved, I quite like the sound of k6ka's idea of a sign up sheet. There should be a way to keep it together. And if there was to be sign up sheet, how would it work? Would the community decide or should it be a first come first serve basis?

::First come first serve was my idea. The person who signs up for the selected edition must write it (they can develop a draft in their userspace if they want to), though if they are sick or if something unexpected happens to them then either someone else needs to quickly write it (if they had a userpage draft it wouldn't be too difficult) or just let it go. --'''[[:User:K6ka|k6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] | [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 00:30, June 28, 2014 (UTC)
==1 month later==
I like your idea, k6ka. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 19:15, July 20, 2014 (UTC)
I too like k6ka's idea. I personally think his idea seems to be our best bet. [[User:Beds|<font color="#6B1D51">'''Beds'''</font>]] <sup>([[User_talk:Beds|<font color="#512d17">'''talk'''</font>]] - [[User_blog:Beds|<font color="#512d17">'''blog'''</font>]])</sup> 18:26, July 21, 2014 (UTC)
==Conclusion==
News will indefinitely be moved to Sunday. The writing of the weekly newspaper will come on a "first come first serve" basis: meaning users will sign up to write for the next week's news blog. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 10:30, August 2, 2014 (UTC)
