Vickie,

Much thanks to you, for spending time in the Wiki with our authors and editors and all contributions you make that have helped the Wiki to grow. The Research Wiki is in its first years but it is growing and becoming a wonderful tool that helps people find answers in one space and costs only in effort to search on their part.

We want to improve the process for Welcoming new authors and editors in the Wiki. I want to make each member of the committee aware of some improvements coming in June: • We will have another Welcome Message Template designed to be more individualized. The others will be there too but we hope that you will use this new welcome message. Steve Cottrell will be helping us with the Template, a special thanks to him. • Please read more carefully what the contributor or editor have put on the page. The current steps listed for reviewing the contributions are good to follow. • Avoid adding the welcome message before following the steps outlined. .• The question Templates will stay the same.

We thank you again for all you do. Dawne
