:I agree with all users. But I have one idea. To make up to 10 featured editors or authors, who made positive contributions, every month or week. That will be good motivation like awards. I do not know whether it would be a good motivation, but I think that other users will be happy. <font face="comic sans MS">[[User:Kristina Mitrović|<span style="color:#fd3e9d">Christy</span>]] ([[User talk:Kristina Mitrović|<span style="color:#fd3e9d">talk to me</span>]])</font> 10:55, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
 
== Newsletter ==
 
With [[user:DanPin|DanPin's]] sudden retirement from [[The Sims Wiki:Newsletter|the newsletter]], something occurred to me regarding editors and how long they actually last. The problem here is that principal editors, who seem to be the ones overlooking the production of the newsletter, don't really seem to last too long at all. With the fact that editors are often retiring, I think it would be best that we aim to make some changes to the system. I'd like to propose the following as a potential solution:
#We ditch the principal editor system completely and just have the process of producing the newsletter overseen by administrators - it doesn't need to be anyone in particular, just as a collaborative effort.
#Reiterating the newsletter being a collaborative effort, I think we should make it so that rather than have a group of users writing on a monthly basis, we give the community a chance to write something and as long as it's accepted by an administrator, it's no big deal. As long as the newsletter is written however often it is, it shouldn't matter ''who'' writes it and the newsletter belongs to the community anyway. After all, [[The Sims Wiki talk:Newsletter#Story Submissions|we've already got a setup for it]]...
 
I do have another idea but it's more of a later on kind of thing so I'll keep it to myself for now. Basically I feel this will be the best way to ensure the on-going development of the newsletter without putting everything on one person or one specific group of people. If anyone has anything they wish to add/change then feel free to mention it otherwise, what does everyone think? {{GGsig}} 13:40, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
