Hello I am interested in reviving the Wikiproject Report. I am very active within wikiprojects and most of my edits can be traced to either wikiproject television or wikiproject Doctor Who. I feel that WikiProjects are key to wikipedias growth and deserve more recognition. What steps would be required in order for me to join the Signpost Team. Some of the projects I wish to cover include WP:COMICS, WP:Wikipedia, WP:DISNEY, and WP:AUSTRALIA. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:04, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Archives/2024-02-13 looks very different compared to how
the 13 February 2024 issue looked like on the landing page. Are there any plans to integrate the |piccy-*=
template parameters into the archives of The Signpost? —

Have anyone here noticed that The Signpost's quality has downgraded since around last year? Articles on the Signpost now have clickbaity titles, AI-generated photos and no actual substance in its body, a far cry from its former glory. I would much rather have a monthly but quality Signpost rather than this steaming bi-weekly pile of sensationalist reporting. CactiStaccingCrane ( talk) 12:31, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
no actual substancein this issue's News and notes, In the media or Recent research, say? Or else be more specific. (I'm not defending certain other recent low-effort stories and contorted insider humor pieces, but such a sweeping judgment isn't very actionable.)
former gloryand
monthly but quality, a reminder that 1) the Signpost has been published bi-weekly or even weekly for much of its existence, 2) it doesn't have a pre-set number of stories to fill for every issue, 3) a big problem with the monthly schedule around 2022 or so were humongous 20+ story issues that were both hard for the average reader to digest (we only get subscribers' attention once for each issue) and actually presented more work to curate, fact-check and edit than two <10 story bi-weekly issues.

If you say it loud enough the views will come your way!-oh, really?
Plus, naughty politicians, Federal judge not a fan, UFOs and beavers.--Huh? As for actual content, the current issue did have some interesting for me content. Of course, something was boring for me, but I admit I am not the only one reader and some will find it useful as well. - Altenmann >talk 20:06, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Sorry, but over the years I have sometimes wondered why people volunteer for this publication. Nonetheless, if it matters, I thought the old one-page was easier to understand and get a sense of what I might want to click on through to, rather than the large pictures and the little words, whose descriptions seem decidedly vague or puzzles to me, but YMMV. (I suppose someone can do a click through frequency analysis of the styles, should it interest anyone.) -- Alanscottwalker ( talk) 19:13, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
JPxG, it seems that there is a typo in the page
Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2024-03-29. In the parameter |sub=
for the Op-Ed. Quote: Can we compete with social media? Will aoomers forget Wikipedia?

said i was going to bed but then when i was lying in bed it occurred to me that i needed to make this redirect.And in a quick Google search I didn't encounter anyone on the Internet using the term in this meaning apart from JPxG, so I opened a RfD. Regards, HaeB ( talk) 19:37, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Any reason why a recent arbcom case that resulted in a de-cratting got zero coverage? ~~ Jessintime ( talk) 15:27, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
