The Signpost should write about... Categories of created articles.
Last year, I published an article about a set of tools to analyse the list of articles created by a user. I've just developed a new tool which analyses all categories associated to the list of articles created by a user.

The Signpost should write about Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/OKA. TL;DR - WikiProject related to an NGO iniative about paying editors to translate articles between Wikipedias. Already dozens have been done. I think it is a fascinating initative, and some may even find it a bit controversial (interesting COI/PAID angle). I might help with the article but probably not until early July (busy grading students now...).

The Signpost should write about... New Study Confirms Long-Held Conservative Suspicions of Wikipedia Bias. A search I've done for "David Rozado Wikipedia bias" has brought up various right-leaning sites reporting on this in recent days. Ham II (talk) 09:53, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

The Signpost should write about these forgotten articles. Several of them on the forgotten articles report (which I recently found hidden in a hard-to-find "special pages" menu for the first time, as a 20+ year WP editor possibly only present in the mobile skin?) just passed the 10 year point without any edits. Might make a fun short piece. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
The Signpost should write about... Abuse of wikipedia because of wikidata. the two projects should not be so closely intertwined and interconnected in the way they currently are , the two projects while they should be linked the current state does not help neither. it is vulnerability being exploited through various ways.
The Signpost should write also about... WP:Trust & Safety not doing anything while https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Miscellaneous#Fawikt_vandal my request for a obvious vandal being blocked is remained open for 10 days.

Hi. Someone might be interested in writing about this, Wikipedia just got summoned by Delhi High Court in "ANI MEDIA PVT. LTD. v. WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION INC AND ORS." defamation suit. -- CptViraj (talk) 06:10, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
The Signpost should write about the recent Reliable sources saga. This will be difficult to cover and navigate because it spans two decades of Wikipedia history, and I suspect it's going to be a very controversial topic (because it touches on so many internal conflicts), but I think the community will need to reflect around what happened, what our response will be, and how we can prevent things like these from happening again. agucova (talk) 14:45, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
A recent discussion on Commons suggests strong support there for limiting cross-wiki uploads to Commons to users who are not autoconfirmed, and some support for eliminating these cross-wiki uploads entirely. Several admins weighed in to say that the affected wikis, especially major ones like en-wiki, need to have some voice in the matter. Nothing is likely to move forward at this time, but because there was strong consensus to move in this general direction, it probably deserves some coverage, if only to stimulate further discussion. - Jmabel | Talk 20:25, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Re: 10 down in Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2024-07-22/Crossword, may I suggest incorporating (deliberately hidden) into the crossword? Or perhaps it was already used in one of the previous issues? Found in (spoiler alert) an archived discussion. —andrybak (talk) 15:14, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
The Signpost should write about... the Wikipedia article about Wikipedia and how technically that whole article goes against WP:COI because everyone who has ever contributed to that article has a COI with Wikipedia. That would be an interesting Humour article!

The Signpost should write about... Internet Archive has lost its appeal in Hachette v. Internet Archive, the long-running, closely watched copyright case over the scanning and lending of print library books

The Signpost should write about... Asian News International court case against Wikimedia Foundation. https://www.livemint.com/news/india/delhi-hc-warns-wikipedia-over-ani-defamation-case-issues-contempt-notice-11725517336837.html in the next In the news report.
A draft: India's Asian News International (ANI) has brought Wikimedia Foundation to the courts over what they alleged to be defamatory content on the article about themselves, which currently stated that they "[had] been accused of having served as a propaganda tool for the incumbent central government, distributing materials from a vast network of fake news websites, and misreporting events on multiple occasions." Wikimedia Foundation is being compelled by the courts to give personal information of some editors who have edited the article. ANI as a source was determined in 2021 RfC that for general reporting, it is between marginally reliable and generally unreliable; it should be attributed in-text for contentious claims; and generally unreliable and questionable for its coverage of domestic and international politics, and other topics that the Government of India has a stake due to reported dissemination of pro-government propaganda.

The Signpost should write about... Wikipedia:Administrator elections. These are right around the corner (October) and will be a big change for enwiki. You can find a summary of some important details at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/MMS/Election schedule. This probably doesn't need a whole article, but would be good to mention somewhere. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:23, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
The Signpost should write about... South China Morning Post wrote this piece "Wikipedia bans user for ‘alleged trolling, doxxing and intimidation’ of Hong Kong journalists"
Cross referencing Global ban list confirms the user is Flamelai (blocked here locally in July 2023 under WP:NOTHERE)
