The Sega Project Newsletter Issue 1 - May 22, 2008
Project News Headlines
The Sega Project opens up a new task force, the Sonic Task Force.
Cleanup efforts have begun on articles relating to Sonic the Hedgehog characters, but more editors are currently needed.
Project logo and awards system has undergone an overhaul.
Project's Featured Member
In this segment each issue, the newsletter selects a member who has performed acts of merit for the project or to its respective articles. If you would like to be selected for the Project's Featured Member, please contact Red Phoenix (talk·contribs), show what acts you have performed that are worthy of merit, and talk a little about yourself; it's for fun!
Fairfieldfencer (talk·contribs) is this issue's featured member, for his work with the Sonic the Hedgehog character articles and improving them in general. FFF is a 13 year old male from Britain with interests in video games and fencing. His edit count is over 3400 as of this issue. Check out his userpage for more information.
Newsletter Looking for Columnists
For all subsequent issues, the Sega Project is looking for columnists for the newsletter, to be released roughly every month, though no exact deadline for the newsletter will be set. If you would like to write a column for WikiProject Sega and have it displayed here in the newsletter, please make a note of this at WT:SEGA. Columns can be about anything about Sega (and its related franchises), Wikipedia, or the Sega Project. Thank you for your submissions.
Active Members
Members of the Sega Project, most of you are inactive around the project. While the active members can understand this, we would like more of our members to be active around the project. All you need to do is to use the project's talk page and discuss issues with project members. In return, active project members will help you with any help you might need. So please, we ask all of you to become more active around the project and make use of what you have signed up to become part of. If you have any questions or comments, just bring your comments to WT:SEGA or you can contact Red Phoenix personally at his talk page.
General Membership Drive
In addition to the issue we have with the inactive members, the Sonic Task Force could also use some more members. Some of you may find that area more interesting than the general project pages. You can make yourself a member of this project, too, by following the instructions at WP:SONIC. Please make use of the discussion page there, as well, if that is more to your interest.
Did You Know...
...that the Sega Genesis is known as the Sega Mega Drive in Japan and Europe?
...that the Sega 32X was a colossal failure that sold only 200,000 units?
