I missed the date on this. I thought it was today, rather than last Wednesday. In the future, besides the pop-up notifications about a blog like this, you might want to make it more clear what date an event will take place on. All I see is the word "Today" at the start of the fourth paragraph, which I have to piece together with the date of September 10, 2014 at the top of the blog to equal "we're doing this right now". Something like "This event will take place on Wednesday, September 10, 2014." would have been clearer.

On larger wikis, the admins may have to get together to make a decision on whether or not to participate, and would need more than same-day or one day's notice in order to discuss it. Without a longer period of advance notice, you're relying on one admin happening to see the notice and making an immediate decision on the behalf of the entire wiki to participate. A week or two weeks' notice would have been appropriate for an important event like this.
