If you have any more requests for areas where you'd like us to help you, please let us know. Was Surriela's idea about simplifying the policy system something you'd like help with? I was waiting a couple days to see if you'd reply to that.

Since you haven't really said anything specific you'd like help with, Surriela and I are at a bit of a loss as to how exactly you'd like us to help you at the moment? Personally, I've been thinking about Spotlights for a while already, however there's not much Bloons Wiki can do about it at the moment as stubs and short pages are quite common on this wiki. (Very short articles [...] and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than 1/5th of all pages on the wiki.)

I was reviewing your policies - and I think that if they were on one page, with specific and friendly approaches to the rules, that would make new editors feel welcome, and that they know what is expected. Having to go to multiple pages is cumbersome and may discourage people. I noted several references to vandalism or poor conduct in a number of locations, and this could easily condense to one reference to the topic. Some are contradictory as well - be bold and yet ignore all rules yet you should follow the rules... my head spins. Your main page invites contributors to read the rules before editing, so improving these might help. While I see the point in merging policies into one page, won't that be too long for some readers to read anyway? Although I actually feel that having policies all on one page is more constructive and "user-friendly" than having them on separate pages, I also find that larger wikis like w:c:runescape, w:c:cod have their policies on separate pages. I'm curious as to what we should do when the page gets even longer - won't it be a bit long to load?
