-Once again, another year has concluded for Bulbapedia. It's certainly been a very busy one, with [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary|Pokémon's 20th Anniversary]] and the summer of [[Pokémon GO]] both behind us. It was an amazing 12th year for this project.
+The day that everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived! We are happy to announce that we believe our technical issues have been resolved, and Bulbapedia is once again open for general editing! We greatly appreciate all of the patience we received during the edit lock, and we would like to apologize for the technical issues that forced the lock to remain in place as long as it did
-In 2016, Bulbapedia grew by over 2800 articles, and we hope to see significant growth as well in 2017. The Video Games section showed some of the most impressive growth in 2016. With the release of Pokémon GO, followed by [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] ushering in the beginning of [[Generation VII]], this section not only met the expectations we had for it at the beginning of the year, they blew past it immeasurably. We hope that the recent introduction of [[Johto]] Pokémon in Pokémon GO will only be the tip of the iceberg for the Video Games section in 2017!
+The staff of Bulbapedia would like to wish everyone a happy 2018, and a great time with [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], and everything new that this most recent pair of games will bring to the world of Pokémon.
-The Anime, Manga, and TCG sections have also shown wonderful growth through 2016, and await even more growth in these three sections in 2017. The [[S20|20th season]] of the English dub of the Pokémon anime will be making its official premiere this year, and we can expect to see a lot of new manga and TCG content as well.
+Happy editing, everyone!
-Bulbapedia is here today, because of all the contributors who have helped out by making edits through these 12 years. I mention this every year, because it's the absolute truth of a project like this. Without the members of the fandom who contribute to this project, no matter how big or small their contributions may be, Bulbapedia wouldn't be what it is today and very well may not even exist at all.
-I'd also like to go onto a personal note for a moment, as today marks the conclusion of my third year as Bulbapedia's Editor-in-Chief. It's been an amazing experience, and would just like to thank everyone reading this for making these last three years something I'll never forget. I hope we can keep this going even longer.
-With that all said, let's make another awesome year, let's keep Bulbapedia the best resource for Pokémon information on the internet. 2017 is another year for us to make our own, let's do this!
