We have entered a new chapter in the ongoing history of Bulbapedia, and with each new chapter comes a new deputy. As with all previous deputies, the person chosen to hold this position has shown astounding dedication to the betterment of Bulbapedia. She has been a member of staff for almost four years, with two of them as a member of the {{bp|Editorial Board}}. She had made significant advancements for our manga section as both the Head of Manga and leader of {{bp|Project Manga}}. Bulbapedia's new Deputy Editor-in-Chief is {{u|Zesty Cactus}}.
This also means that there is a new Head of Manga. The Head of Manga takes the responsibility of overseeing all manga-related matters and is the highest authority on these matters, behind the Editor-in-Chief, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, and Editorial Board as a whole. The person chosen to undertake the responsibilities of this position has shown himself to be dedicated and highly experienced in the Pokémon manga. Welcome to the Editorial Board, {{u|Ataro}}, and congratulations.
A number of additional very deserving users are receiving promotions. Congratulations {{u|ArcToraphim}}, {{u|Masatoshi}}, {{u|Pokemaster97}}, {{u|Spriteit}}, {{u|Crystal Talian}}, {{u|G50}}, and {{u|Funktastic~!}}. A number of new {{bp|Junior Administrator}}s will also be joining the staff in the coming days, keep an eye out for them.

Five and a half years ago, I joined Bulbapedia. I didn't know wikicode, and I didn't have any new info to contribute. I kept myself busy watching better users in the recent changes, and making minor corrections. As I watched other users editing, I picked up some basic wikicode and got an understanding of the policies and rules. A year later, I started dabbling in templates, and never looked back. And I've enjoyed it all. But I no longer have the time to lead Bulbapedia, and it's time for me to step down as Editor-in-Chief.
