Line 1: = 2013 Founder's Awards = = 2013 Founder's Awards = + Please post your nominations for the various Founder's awards here for discussion. Post not only the Editor's or Admin's name, but also why you feel that person should be the awardee. Nominations will close on the '''31st of January''', with [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] announcing after he has made his decisions. Negative responses are not solicited, as these are only for nominations. − It's been over 7 great years of Sarna.net's BattleTechWiki, and we continue to see amazing contributions from the community. Our wiki grows by leaps and bounds each year: last year we (again) saw '''2,000''' new articles created, bringing the article count to 18,000. My guess is we'll reach 20,000 articles by 2015. But article count isn't the entire story. It's the quality of the articles, the amazing writing, and the great people that really makes BTW an amazing resource for BattleTech fans around the world! Ladies and gentlemen, visitors and contributors, admins: Thank you for making Sarna.net's BattleTechWiki such an amazing resource. My hat is off to you all. [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 18:43, 2 March 2014 (PST)+ Five out of the six Founder's Awards are up for nomination; the Founder's Consistent Service Award is completely left up to Nic.

It's relatively easy to add an update needed tag to an article, and I think they're being used better now... but while a lot of us add the tags, Mbear's the one leading the fight to clear them off again.
