Opportunity for the wiki - June 18, 2013

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share with the English wiki community an invitation to join an ArenaNet exclusive fansite “preview play day” to get into Guild Wars 2 and play upcoming, unreleased content. Our target is to start this straight away at the end of this week (this is not a physical meeting). So if the wiki community can organize itself quickly enough, we can add you to the list. If not, that opportunity may be extended to a future “preview play day”.

This is an opportunity that would require the wiki community to mobilize and organize itself so that one named member of the wiki community is “elected” to represent the community. This responsibility cannot be shared for a particular “preview play day”, but I imagine that we’ll be able to change the representative for future “preview play days”. That person should be trusted to act for the good of the wiki community and make sure that the information contained in this preview ends up in wiki articles that are available when (and not before) the release webpage is published. I’ll be in touch with the elected editor to make sure they are aware of the timing and knows and understands the guidelines to which they will have to strictly adhere to.

Now the ball is in the wiki community’s court and I’d like to hear from you as soon as possible. Please this topic on my talkpage to discuss the topic and ask me questions. Thanks a lot for your help and I hope that we can have a wiki editor onboard the “preview play day” program!
