-As many of you have probably noticed, we have been getting a lot of what can be tentatively considered as vandalism the past few days.  Namely, lots and lots and ''lots'' of sockpuppets created using proxies, likely of the same misguided user.  We're currently considering and discussing implementing some sort of system to monitor new users automatically, although how exactly this would work isn't yet figured out.  If any of you have any ideas, we'd be happy to listen.
+{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} are games that we've all been waiting almost five years for, and we're incredibly excited by their approach.
-A note to {{bp|administrators}}: Watch the [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] like a hawk.  Checkuser any new user you see, and block sockpuppets on sight.  I know many of you have already been doing this, but we need to be vigilant.  Thanks.
+Despite this, please keep in mind that '''''NO SPRITES ARE YET OFFICIAL'''''. All sprites found on the HGSS site are until release ''beta sprites'' that may change, much as the sprite for [[Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}} did between the beta phase and final release of {{game|Platinum}}.
+Please keep this in mind. New HGSS sprites should be uploaded to the filename Spr 4h {{tt|###|National Dex number}}.png, but ''should not replace the sprites at the National Dex number at the current time''. Platinum sprites are overall better quality than the sprites we can get from HGSS at the current point -- wait for the games to come out, and we should be able to rip the best quality sprites from the games themselves within days, as we did with Platinum.
+Again, excitement may be high, but do not make the quality of images take a dive just because {{p|Lugia}} can. Reservations start in July, pointing to a release sooner than any of us expect.
