Newsroom


Welcome to the central hub of The Signpost!

This is The Signpost Newsroom, a place where The Signpost team can coordinate with writers, both regular and occasional, and people who have suggestions for topics to cover. See the boxes below if you have suggestions (something for the team to write about in regular columns), proposal/submissions (for articles you want to write/have written yourself), or want to create a pre-formatted draft article in your userspace, with helpful links and easy-to-edit syntax. Discussion occurs both here and in the Signpost Discord.

Discussion of upcoming issues is done at the newsroom talk page. For general feedback on The Signpost as a whole, go to our talk page. To learn more about The Signpost, see our about page.

The Signpost currently has 5872 articles, 729 issues, and 14459 pages (4758 talk and 9701 non-talk).

@NabuKudurru: You could improve the impact of the writing by following inverted pyramid (journalism). Take your tl;dr section at the end and move it closer to the top, maybe right at the top. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:50, 26 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Bri,
Thanks for the feedback, i am trying to shorten it some now. also I put the tldr at the top so thanks

@Shadestar474: Yes thank you for offering to copyedit. NabuKudurru here is a first-time Signpost contributor. If you have ideas while reviewing this text, then can you please also offer developmental editing suggestions to fit the text to the Wikipedia community's needs? Bri here has recommending getting to the point sooner, and maybe while reading this you will have another suggestion. But straightforward copyediting is also welcome. Review Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/Formatting for guidance on the images. Bluerasberry (talk) 15:34, 30 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I’m also a first-time contributor to the Signpost, so I doubt I’ll have much additional value to add to the text itself, but if I have any thoughts, I’ll make sure to share them! And thanks so much for letting me copyedit it :) Cheers, 𝔰𝔥𝔞𝔡𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔯 (𝔱𝔞𝔩𝔨) -⃝⃤ (they/he) In solidarity. 19:08, 30 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I’ve copyedited it; I changed some wording to make it more accurate and flow better, but definitely feel free to correct me if in any rephrasing I accidentally got a fact wrong or something. (I also deleted the extra TLDR section at the bottom of the page.)
I really don’t see any problems with it journalistically, except that it’s rather unclear who ‘we’ is. we suggest that a simple, straightforward strategy would be […] Could you state that a bit more clearly somewhere near the top of the article? Otherwise, it seems perfect. Cheers, 𝔰𝔥𝔞𝔡𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔯 (𝔱𝔞𝔩𝔨) -⃝⃤ (they/he) In solidarity. 19:48, 30 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@NabuKudurru: I saw you added some content; would you mind if I copyedited it further for additional grammar/punctuation things? (In addition, if I see phrasing I want to change, should I just go ahead and do that like I did previously or discuss that with you? Asking since I saw you changed back some of the rephrasing) Cheers, 𝔰𝔥𝔞𝔡𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔯 (𝔱𝔞𝔩𝔨) -⃝⃤ (any/all) In solidarity. 03:01, 3 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
