-Pokémon learnsets are beginning to have their templates upgraded: above all else, do not attempt to jump in to help if you do not know what to do. Questions can be addressed to any of Bulbapedia's staff, most especially TTEchidna, who can show you how to make the templates work.
+The games are out, and a flood of information is upon us! Due to the wealth of details, the site has been locked  from editing by all non-staff members and at this point will stay locked so we can get a lot of major updates handled without the majority of people getting in the way (ie: edit conflicts), so we are going to work on getting all the Pokémon pages, locations, moves, abilities, movesets, items, and other major additions to gameplay. We know it sounds like it will take a long time, and well, it might, but we are hoping to be don with the lockdown in under a week.
-Black and White are likely to leak within the next week or so, so keep on your toes. Bulbapedia may go on a brief lockdown, allowing only staff to edit, shortly after release so as to prevent speculation and unsourced facts, however, after this time, normal editing privileges will return.
+We don't like locking our users out of a community driven site, but it's so we can get everyone as much info as fast as we can while maintaining our usual quality standards. We don't want to be rushed here and it will save us the hassle of an inevitably short sighted new user who will ignore the rules and go posting information they got off of GameFAQs forums or another unofficial source. So check back often as new info is added to the site ''every '''second'''!''
