Here's the plan: on '''Friday, August 10th''', we'll have a big awards show chat-and-forum-party blast. However, it will take months of preparation, starting next Friday March 30th! During the process, you will be able to vote for your favorites from tens of awards.
Here's the plan: on '''Saturday, August 11th''', we'll have a big awards show chat-and-forum-party blast. However, it will take months of preparation, and has already started! During the process, you will be able to vote for your favorites from 30 awards.


Starting this Saturday, an Awards Committee of volunteers ([[#Sign Up for Awards Committee|let us know if you're interested]]) will meet to determine not only what exact awards and nominees will be included, but also what components of the awards show will go into it, possibly including:
The Committee has voted these components of the show in:
*User Awards. Our most active users would be recognized for a quality (i.e. best writer, most techincal, etc.). The no-user-awards rule implied recently would be ignored just this once &ndash; after all, this only comes once a year!
*User Awards. Our most active users would be recognized for a quality (i.e. best writer, most techincal, etc.). The no-user-awards rule implied recently would be ignored just this once &ndash; after all, this only comes once a year!
*Award Presentations. After voting, users sign up to take the results of 2-3 of the awards and create a Oscar-like script presenting the results, which could have the user himself/herself presenting, Mario characters presenting, or even other users interrupting and more (e.g. trolls try to ruin the show, a sysop conspiracy, etc.). These presentations would go in a giant forum thread, where registered users would be free to comment inbetween award presentations on the results or continue script ideas.

These presentations would go in a giant forum thread, where registered users would be free to comment inbetween award presentations on the results or continue script ideas.
That all goes down on August 10th from about 7/8pm to 11 to midnight, EDT.
That all goes down on August 11th from 7-11pm EDT.


Coming back to the Awards Committee, they will be meeting every other Friday night or so for about 2-3 hours up to the event to get those specifics down. In early-mid June, polls will be put up in a fashion yet to be determined (most likely on another MarioWiki page and to be emailed or PMed in to the Head of the Project, [again] [[User:Wayoshi|Wayoshi]]) for about a month. That would give users about 25 days to get presentations ready, and then a day of full fun would play out on August 10th.

The date may be changed to Saturday, August 11th. That way we would run into the actual day of the wiki's creation, August 12th, at the end of the ceremony. However, we don't want to lose users for this change &ndash; stay tuned and we'll have an exact date still way ahead of time.
In a post-party we will run into the actual day of the wiki's creation, August 12th, at midnight. See if you can get your parents to let you stay up late this one ''Saturday'' night &ndash; you won't want to miss it.


For an idea of exact dates, see next section.

The following is a table by (who else than?) Wayoshi that outlines exact dates on which events related to pre-show processes will hopefully occur. Included is a small description of the event and whether the awards committee (AC), the general body of wiki users (WU), forum users (FU) and/or guests (G) can be involved (note that the awards committee must also be forum users, but this is not noted). This also assumes that both user awards and award presentations are included.

Why? What?

The Super Mario Wiki was created on August 12th, 2005. On August 12th, 2006, this wiki was off to a good start, but still beginning and with a small community of active users. Now we are a big community and very vibrant, and coming up on the 2nd anniversary of the wiki's creation, it's time to celebrate...the wiki. And what better way to do that than with a...

Mario Awards Show!!

Outline

Here's the plan: on Saturday, August 11th, we'll have a big awards show chat-and-forum-party blast. However, it will take months of preparation, and has already started! During the process, you will be able to vote for your favorites from 30 awards.

The Committee has voted these components of the show in:

  • User Awards. Our most active users would be recognized for a quality (i.e. best writer, most techincal, etc.). The no-user-awards rule implied recently would be ignored just this once – after all, this only comes once a year!
  • Award Presentations. After voting, users sign up to take the results of 2-3 of the awards and create a Oscar-like script presenting the results, which could have the user himself/herself presenting, Mario characters presenting, or even other users interrupting and more (e.g. trolls try to ruin the show, a sysop conspiracy, etc.). These presentations would go in a giant forum thread, where registered users would be free to comment inbetween award presentations on the results or continue script ideas.

That all goes down on August 11th from 7-11pm EDT.

Coming back to the Awards Committee, they are meeting every other Friday night or so for about 2-3 hours up to the event to get those specifics down. In early-mid June, polls will be put up in a fashion yet to be determined (most likely on another MarioWiki page and to be emailed or PMed in to the Head of the Project, [again] Wayoshi) for about a month. That would give users about 25 days to get presentations ready, and then a day of full fun would play out on August 11th.

In a post-party we will run into the actual day of the wiki's creation, August 12th, at midnight. See if you can get your parents to let you stay up late this one Saturday night – you won't want to miss it.

Schedule

The following is a table by (who else than?) Wayoshi that outlines exact dates on which events related to pre-show processes will hopefully occur. Included is a small description of the event and whether the awards committee (AC), the general body of wiki users (WU), forum users (FU) and/or guests (G) can be involved (note that the awards committee must also be forum users, but this is not noted). This also assumes that both user awards and award presentations are included.
