The wiki's new goal, 5000 articles, is expected to be achieved by March 1st, 2008. To do this, everyone must pitch in and we must stay clean of RuneScape Gold advertisements and any other things that encourage rule breaking. Please see this forum for more details.
 * The wiki has undergone massive changes. Vimescarrot announced his leave, Patcong quit, Chasngcars was harassed with racist comments by Total Rune, who's immatureness led him to his absence. Total Rune also insulted Ilyas, Whiplash, Stinkowing and many others. This resulted in him being blocked once by Ilyas (1 week) and once by Whiplash (perm). Rune also pelted Whiplash and Ilyas with racist, sexist, and disturbing insults until they negotiated on permanently blocking him, on his request. With this massive 7 day fight in mind, being the worse since Shadowdancer's incident, Whiplash is soon to become a bureaucrat. The fight seems to have slowed down and the RFA page is calming down.
 * Google placement, as of 23:28, 9 April 2007 (UTC): Searching runescape wiki in Google places the RuneScape Wiki in first place. The main page is listed first with the RuneScape article second. Wikipedia's RuneScape article is third. Searching runescape on Google places the wiki on page 22.
