- Hu (talk · contribs) Active Wikipedian (in phases), desultorily active on Sensei's Library. Bold enough to touch almost anything, but as a weak single digit kyu player, I'm not skilled at the game, and would be careful about touching anything that deals with tactics and strategy.

- Selket (talk · contribs) I probably won't be contributing all that much, but keep me informed of goings on, particularly with the recent article creation difficulties. (somewhere in the 22-27k range, depending on who you ask)
- SmokeyTheCat (talk · contribs) I claim to be 1 Dan and will do whatever I can to help. I'll do without the Userbox as I have enough of them already.
