So this is my question that needs rewording -
"In 2011, to be able to apply for a Quizmaster, you need to have at least five approved quizzes."
And this is what the quiz masters have been saying every time I have resubmitted it -
"This question contains time sensitive information that may change in the future. Adding 'In 2011' just makes it sound stale. Try rewording."
So if any one has a way of rewording my question please post it, as this is the only question that needs to be fixed before it gets accepted.
If you want to see the quiz please go and have a look under proofreading, as it is also there.
You can put your comments about my entire quiz there, thanks for reading guys!!

If this has been true since the website was created, then you could say, "In the first ten years of Braing;e's existence, how many quizzes are needed to become a Quizmaster?"

Occasionally, the topic of a question may just be too time-sensitive to save, and may have to be scrapped completely. It's never a good idea to be so attached to having a specific question that you sacrifice the entire quiz.
Usually, a question can be saved by referencing a specific incident, here is an example:
How many times have the NY Yankees won the World Series? This is time sensitive, could change any year.
As of 2011, how many times have the NY Yankees won the World Series? This is stale, not a sufficient time sensitive fix
In 2009, the NY Yankees opened their new stadium, Yankee Field. Also in that season, the Yankees beat the Phillies to win the World Series. How many World Series wins did this make for the Yankees? This is fixed (It would also be sufficient to simply refer to the win over the phillies: "In 2009, the NY Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies in the 105th World Series. How many World Series wins did this make for the Yankees?")
The key is the reference to a fixed incident in history that will never change.

I know!!!
I was just saying that.
Are you one of the current quizmasters?
If you are what rewording would you accept?
