Hello, thank you for your cooperation for the Board Election. Currently Election notice is available over 25 languages, and some translations are on-going. Thank you very much. I appreciate all translators both on meta and local projects, not only translators of Election notice, but also of messages from us Election organizers on general discussion page on local projects (and on my part I apologize for confusion; for some communities "Village pump" was a vague name to designate a page for general discussion). Also I am very grateful enthusiasm to this Election which have been showed elsewhere, for example, pump on Russian Wikipedia.

We began to accept candidates from June 7, today on meta and they will present themselves in several languages. As well as the Election notice, translation of candidate statements will be very helpful and appreciated heartfully. And finally, the vote will begin from June 28.

To interested candidates: we appreciate your consideration and are waiting for you.

Election FAQ 2005 is also available on meta with five sets of questions and answers. Some versions need to synch. Your cooperation will be appreciated. Of course, questions are always welcome.

Further information is available at [[m:Elections for the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, 2005/En]] on meta. Please link the notice from project., Recentchanges, Goings-on or general discussion pages like [[en:WP:VP]], shortly any page you think appropriate.

Finally I appreciate all of you on your interest, and hope candidates their best. Cheers,
