RE: Article
Good day, Kirbyo. I'm glad to hear you have interest in submitting a section to the paper. You don't have to use Discord to sign up for The 'Shroom. Are you able to make an account on our forum? It's free and only requires an e-mail address. If so, you can make an account and copy and paste your section into a private message to be sent to our Statistics Manager. That's the easiest way to sign up, but if that can't work for you, we can look for some alternative solutions.

RE: RE: Article
good day to you to, Hooded Piyohui. thats a great sudjestion, but im not a fan of social media, and the forums seem too mutch like what i think reddit is like (not like i actually use reddit, i dont). is their a way i can just email you (or whoever i send my aplication to) my aplication, when its done? also, am i able to do it where i can make a section for the issues of the shroom when i want to? for example, i might be buisy march cause of tests, so ill miss that article, but ill make another one in june or april. thanks.


 * Generally speaking, which talk pages discussions are held on don't matter that much, but many people use this "RE:" method of holding talk page discussions because your own talk page is automatically watched. That said, if it's easier for you, I'll add your talk page to my watchlist and we can keep any remaining discussion here. Now, onto the question at hand, if you don't use the forums and you don't use Discord, there is an option for you to e-mail the section. If you would, please, e-mail your submission to mwshroom@gmail.com. We'll receive it there and treat it like any other submission. (Oh, and, as an aside, it's good form to sign your talk page messages by leaving four tildes at the end of them.) Hooded Pitohui (talk) 17:38, December 9, 2020 (EST)

first off, watchlisting eachover so we can know when the other has a message is a good idea. also, thanks for the email method, it will work perfectly! ill try and finish the application tonight. btw 4 tidles! Kirbyo (talk) 18:56, December 9, 2020 (EST)

I've submitted my aplication!Kirbyo (talk) 19:38, December 9, 2020 (EST)

One last thing... how will i get the results? Also, if i somehow do get accepted, i wont be able to make any new articles for at least a few weeks while i learn how to use the wikis editor. is there a place where i can improve my skills with the wiki's editor?

Sandbox. Of course, you can make your own. 20:00, December 9, 2020 (EST)


 * I'll contact you with the our feedback in a week's time. We take a week to review submissions, and, after that period has passed, we'll reach out and let you know whether you've been accepted or rejected and offer our suggestions for how you can improve your article. As for testing, yes, as DarkNight has noted, you can use the sandbox. Please be sure not to put entire articles in there, though. As for your question about collapsible tables you left on my talk page, use this basic code, replacing "TEST" with whatever you would like to include.

Thanks, HP, and Dark Night to! can't wait for the results! Also, if i get regected, but also given tips on how to improve, can i send back my aplication with those improvements? Kirbyo (talk) 11:05, December 10, 2020 (EST)
 * Yes, of course. If you are rejected, you can send the application back in with the improvements made. If you do everything asked and show you take the feedback seriously, it'll give you a high chance of being accepted the second time. Hooded Pitohui (talk) 13:38, December 10, 2020 (EST)
 * To tell you the truth, it varies. Many days, we have no applications at all. Some periods see more than others. I assure you, though, that quantity doesn't influence our decisions. We'll judge your application solely on its quality. The number of applications we receive doesn't change the quality of an individual application.

RE: sudgestion
Thank you for the suggestion, this month's Spotlight will actually be themed alongside the rest of The 'Shroom, but we can definitely look into it for January's Spotlight.
