After almost seven months and no murmur of a continuation, it was finally decided that The Berg would be brought back to the light, to see a new crowd of editors who perhaps barely knew it existed! In light of the revitalization of The Berg, the newspaper is also now under new management, as can be seen over to the right. Rather than having specific jobs, the editing and compilation of the paper will be a lot more fluid, so everyone on our editing team will have a chance to have their say and share input on other areas that they might not normally have jurisdiction over. Hopefully The Berg will come more frequently this time, on the first of each month, so be sure to look out for the newspaper as it arrives!
Additionally, you'll also notice that The Berg has swapped around a few sections and added some new ones. We'll be trying out some new things and hoping for constructive criticism from you, the editors, so hopefully the newspaper will be full of content that everyone can enjoy!
2014: A Year in Review
Wiki logo during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
It was June 2010. The World Cup was being held in South Africa and like most major sporing events around the world, adrenalin filled up inside our users and the wiki quickly entered World Cup mode. But how hyped were we?
It started off with one big soccer fan named Tigernose, who cheered for Team England from beginning to end. Throughout the duration of the tournament, he changed his IRC nickname to COME-ON-ENGLAND. As an administrator, he also made sure we had a wiki logo for the World Cup. This motivated everybody on our IRC channel to change their nicknames to one that began with COME-ON-.
Of course with all this there would be some conflict between users. Especially in the final game between Spain and the Netherlands - there was a line drawn down the middle and there were users on both sides. Some cherished that day, others walked away disappointed. However, we do know that it has created one of the most memorable moments in the history of this wiki.
A Note From the Publisher: Passing the Torch
To all of our loyal readers, it has been a fun ride. Time flies by fast - it's already been eight months since the first issue was published. For me, I've been here for almost five years. In these five years, life has gotten a lot busier, and that restricts the amount of time I have available for the wiki. Having said that, this will be my last issue of The Berg. I will be passing the torch to a group of users that I feel are capable in keeping the newspaper running:
Publisher: You are responsible for the final publication of The Berg and the way it appears. In cases where there may be not enough articles for a publication, you have the final say in whether or not there will be an issue published for the current month. You will also prepare the "Upcoming Events" and "The Spotlight" sections.
Editor-in-chief: Make sure grammar and spelling are correct, as well as that articles are written in a professional manner. You should also be aware that any content written should not offend any users. You have the right to reject any article from being published for any reason.
Article writer: Your job is to write the articles for the newspaper. These can be news, upcoming events or even interesting things that relate to the wiki or Club Penguin itself. Because there are many of you doing this one job, it's suggested that you work as a team and decide on what needs to be written, who writes what, etc.
The Panel: You will prepare three questions for The Panel each month. You will also find three participants and record their answers exactly the way they answer it.
Convince Club Penguin to make parties more story-driven to solve the mobile and web compatibility problems.
My New Year's resolution is to avoid worrying about what people think about me. And to ignore all the hate, threats, bullying I recieve. To also not let people make me feel bad and upset me.
What do you hope to see during the Star Wars Rebels Takeover?
A sequel to Goofball Galaxy! *jokes*
A Purple lightsaber item.
During the Star Wars Rebels Takeover, I hope to see that CP have decorated a wide range of rooms (not like most of the parties in 2014). They have a good long and decent interface of items. I also hope there is always something to do through out the duration of the party and that's it not a case of come on collect the items then log off.
What is your favourite memory of 2014?
You're asking the forgetful one with the short attention span her favorite memory of 2014. I have no idea!
Umm, I don't have a favourite. Also I don't really remember. :P
There have been many favourite memories of 2014, I would not say I have one in particular. Several nice memories have happened around the CPWN and CPW. I have met quite a lot of nice people.
