The 'Shroom:Issue LXII/Pipe Plaza

Director's Notes (Paper Yoshi (talk))

You! Yes, you!! Welcome to the May Issue of Pipe Plaza! This is Paper Yoshi, your one and only Pipe Plaza Director, speaking. I've got important announcements regarding this sub-team, so let's get to that!

First of all, the NIWA News section will be removed from the paper. However, Marioguy1 (talk), the former Pipe Plaza Director, will take over the section and bring you important news as they come, rather than every month. As for the second announcement, Ralphfan (talk) has been fired from his Pipe Plaza position, Anniversary Announcements writer. He will be replaced by the Awards Committee Director, Turboo (talk). Monthly Report, Featured and Projects Seeking Contributors are vacant Pipe Plaza sections, so be sure to sign up for any of the positions if you still haven't done so!

Now go on to the other Pipe Plaza sections!! They're eagerly waiting to be read!!

Hello, welcome to May's edition of the Community Report.

Sitenotices from the Past Month

Remember, file names should be meaningful; ideally, they should explain what the image is about or where it is from. Being fun and creative is fine, but don't get too off-topic or overtly childish, and try to avoid confusing or misleading names.

Promotions and Demotions

KPH2293 (talk) was re-promoted from autopatrolled to sysop.

Tip of the Month (FunkyK38 (talk))

When discussing proposals on the proposal page, make sure you are arguing relevant information. The proposal page can grow to massive lengths if proposers don't stay on topic. If you have to argue with another user on something, do it on their talk page.
