As you may or may not know, I've been getting DWA ready for a spotlight which was meant to happen around the time of the 50th anniversary. I was told it would go up either on the 15th Nov or possibly 1st Dec, so I was aiming to have everything ready by the 15th. However, just a few hours ago, Merrystar informed me that the spotlight is currently active, meaning it must have gone up on the 1st Nov, 4 days ago! I'm not ready for that, and neither is the site. However, because of events that happened afterwards in my frustration, I now won't have access to my phone or laptop for an unknown period of time; it may be hours or for the rest of the week. This means I can't actually complete those unfinished jobs which should have happened before the spotlight started. I really need somebody who can help finish things up and make DWA spotlight ready, even if it is late. I need somebody who I can trust to actually give a damn and do something, and to do it right. Please, CzechOut, I am begging you. Please help finish the jobs to get DWA ready for the spotlight! For starters, new users will be landing on the blog post here, however it isn't finished yet as I was expecting an additional 2 weeks to complete it. Since it's the first thing new users land on, it needs to be fixed and finished! Also, just as a general thing, new questions and answers should all be watched over to give people as good and as correct of an answer as possible, and also to make sure they are answered right with citations so new users have a good example to follow. Even if you could just spend 10 mins each day looking over the recent changes and making sure everything conforms to policy, I would be so grateful. Also, I have asked Merrystar if she could give us a double spotlight so we do actually get exposure during the anniversary weekend. Could I also ask if you could watch for further replies on my talk page and negotiate with her about it while I am stuck without the internet?

Thanks so much in advanced. This early spotlight has really thrown all my plans and scheduling out of whack, and inability to access the internet for an indefinite period of time is just making everything worse. I'll also be leaving a short message for Spiders, informing him of the date change, but, to be completely honest with you, I trust you more to actually get the things done that need doing.

I know you're really busy with Tardis at this time as well, but when I often seem to be the only person on DWA actually doing much outside of just answering questions, I can't think of who else I can rely on to help get things moving smoothly during our short period of advertising. New users aren't gonna wanna stay and help out on a wiki that's a complete mess where even the welcoming blog post hasn't been completed. I've been working on these celebrations by my self so far as nobody else has bothered giving any input, and now I really need help. Please help!

Also, I'm sure I have forgotten many of the little things I was meant to mention here, but if you see anything else that needs to be cleaned or perfected, just go for it! Nobody else will be there to discuss it, and I trust your experienced judgement to do what's right for the wiki (and now you have that in writing to use against me whenever you want! :P ).

Thanks in advanced for anything you do. It's greatly appreciated. You actually don't know how much I would appreciate anything you would do to help.

Thanks again, ~Imamadmad
