+Howdy everyone and happy February! As we enter into a new decade of Pokémon and Bulbapedia, we figured it was time to share a few changes that have happened since our last update with you all!
-Hello everyone, it's with heavy hearts that we announce {{u|Zesty Cactus}} has officially retired as Bulbapedia's Deputy Editor-in-Chief. She served above and beyond expectations for the last four years in the position, and will continue assisting Bulbapedia staff in an advisory capacity. We would like to thank her for all of her efforts as Deputy Editor-in-Chief.
+It is with heavy hearts that we’re announcing the retirement of {{u|Jo The Marten}} as Bulbapedia’s Head of Games. Bulbapedia’s games section grew exponentially under Jo’s leadership for the past several years; we wish her the best in her well-deserved retirement. Jo’s departure leaves a vacancy on the Editorial Board that will be filled in the coming weeks, so be on the lookout for that.
-The Deputy Editor-in-Chief position will not be left vacant, however. We are happy to announce that our Head of Anime, {{u|Pokemaster97}}, will be taking over where Zesty Cactus left off. Pokemaster97 will also be handing over the Head of Anime status to {{u|abcboy}}, and we would like to welcome him to the {{bp|Editorial Board}}!
+On a lighter note, a number of very deserving users who have gone above and beyond with their contributions have been hired as staff. Please help congratulate {{u|Celadonkey}}, {{u|Daniel Carrero}}, {{u|Frozen Fennec}}, {{u|Ruixiang95}}, and {{u|Wowy}} who have joined us as {{bp|Junior Administrator}}s. These users have been dedicated to Bulbapedia for several years and we cannot wait to see how they grow in their new roles!
-We have a few other promotions that we are very happy to announce as well. Moving up to the {{bp|Administrator}} level is {{u|Tiddlywinks}}, advancing to the {{bp|Senior Administrator}} level is {{u|glik}}, and {{u|Darkeiya}} will be joining the Editorial Board as Bulbapedia's Head of Art. We would also like to welcome {{u|MisterE13}} back to active duty as a {{bp|Junior Administrator}}.
+We have a few promotions within the staff as well! Congratulations to {{u|Chosen}}, {{u|CycloneGU}}, {{u|MisterE13}}, {{u|神奇超龍}}, {{u|Blazingfist}}, {{u|Tiddlywinks}}, and {{u|glik}} who are moving up in the ranks as well! We know these folks will flourish in their new positions as well.
+On a last note, in an effort to simplify staff structure and overall user experience, the Editorial Board has decided to unify the staff of Bulbapedia and the Bulbagarden Archives. This process will be happening over the next several weeks. We hope this change will increase overall cohesion and collaboration between the two projects.
+Lastly, we would also like to thank every user who has contributed to the wiki in any way. Bulbapedia would not be the place it is without all of you.

+:Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Bulbapedia
