Hi all, Atvelonis here. It's been a busy week and we've gotten a lot done, and many of us are also enjoying a three-day weekend in remembrance for MLK. So now to the update:


 * Flightmare has been planning on reworking KINMUNE, our Chat bot, so that it can edit articles. This will allow us to do menial tasks significantly faster and with much less effort involved, and we will be able to focus on adding content.


 * Wikia is introducing "New Moderator Opportunities" for improving the administration. They are doing this with the hope it will assist wikis handle tasks more efficiently by. You can read more about what they are doing, and how it will effect us here. We will reword our staff descriptions as needed in the near future.


 * We are up to over 40,500 articles, some recent articles include Daggerfall content added by The Crusader of Truth. We are still in need of articles from the oldest games as well as for and its expansions. If you know of a missing article or one missing information that you can add, please do!


 * Speaking of The Crusader of Truth, he has become the new guildmaster of the Daggerfall Guild and has been doing a lot of work with articles for the game in general.


 * Bronkiin has applied for patroller. You can vote for or against his promotion on his application here.


 * We had some Good article Nominations, and I'm glad to see we had as many as we did. More Good articles means that we are not only building full and good-looking articles, but we have a larger pool to draw our featured articles. Here are the results.
 * Carzog's Demise (Quest) – Failed (Unfinished; too short)
 * Delphine – Failed (Unfinished)
 * Camoran Usurper – Passed
 * The Bannered Mare – Failed (Too short)
 * Orsinium – Standby (Approved by community, but unfinished.)

Some of our first comprehensive articles nominations are done. Comprehensive Articles articles that are fully built up and overall well-done, but due to policy, are unable to meet the standards for Good Articles. This is a new standard we have set up, so we still have some edges to work out. Here are the results for the nominations.
 * Mastengwe – Failed (Fairly short and messy)
 * Mantella – Passed
 * Lyg – Passed
 * Lamae Bal – Failed (contested support 4-3, worries include article lacking potential information and needing improved grammar.)

Moot summary

 * We decided on some new standards for marking ESO NPC articles as being stubs or not. For a page in this category to count as a non-stub, it must have all basic stats, the character's location, a quote (if applicable—or, if they have no unique dialogue, to be marked as such), an image, and what they are doing (if applicable).
 * The Crusader of Truth also wanted me to mention how he wants people to regain some more interest in the Guilds. These are very helpful for collaborating with other editors to expand on content for.
 * We also did some maintenance and cleared up some deletion candidates.

So that's about all, and I hope you're all doing well, and I wish everyone have a relaxing and well-deserved weekend. Happy editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 04:01, January 17, 2016 (UTC)
