Suggestion by Gråbergs Gråa Sång (2024-10-14)

The Signpost should write about... There is a new WP-article, Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation, you have probably heard of the subject. However, that WP-article has now been mentioned in the court, and not approvingly:

Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:07, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

The court hearing is to be held on 25 October. I think we can roll this into that hearing if Signpost isn't released by then. – robertsky (talk) 11:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

I correct myself, it seems to be barely within the deadline for the next issue. – robertsky (talk) 11:44, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

and WP:Office has oversighted it. SYSS Mouse (talk) 18:46, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Using policy and WP:SHORTCUT link counts to evaluate consensus

Hello. Initially for my own interest, I created a series of bar charts to evaluate the link counts Misplaced Pages's top-level policy pages (as of the first full week of November). I'd like to offer these up if anyone working on the Signpost would like to use them for an article:

Hi everyone

when did Snoop Dogg start to become a famous person and how Amogelang22 (talk) 11:47, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @Amogelang22. This page is for suggesting items to go into Signpost, the Misplaced Pages internal newsletter, so it is usually only about matters involving Misplaced Pages or its associated sites, or the Wikimedia Foundation, not general knowledge.

For general questions, the Reference Desk is the place to ask; but I think your questions are answered at Snoop Dogg. ColinFine (talk) 16:23, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Suggestion by Gråbergs Gråa Sång (2024-12-02)

The Signpost should write about... According to this video, c. 16:00-17:00, the WMF have stopped fund-raising in India for the time being. May be worth a mention. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:30, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Suggestion by Bogazicili (2024-12-08)

The Signpost should write about...

In addition to Misplaced Pages's Indian problem: Settler colonial erasure of native American knowledge and history on the world's largest encyclopedia study, there's a recent study about Australia-related articles that found problematic coverage of Indigenous topics:

To engage with place in the Australian context is inevitably an engagement with settler-colonialism. This research concludes that First Nations histories, current experiences and voices remain marginalised on Misplaced Pages, reflecting the literature (Thorpe, Sentance & Booker 2023; Gallert et al. 2016; Bjork-James 2021). There are other omissions as well. Lucas argued that “basically any non-white experiences or non-dominant experiences are omitted.” Gabriel felt that Misplaced Pages was “quite a hostile space to marginalised people” and that there is “a really frustrating lack of space, I suppose, to me in all three elements: being a regional Australian; being queer; being disabled. None of them feel like something that Misplaced Pages really quite welcomes a lot of the time.”

The previous journal article was covered in the Signpost (Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2024-10-19/Recent research) and there was also a response to it (Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2024-06-08/Opinion). Can we also mention the most recent study in one of the upcoming Signpost issues? Bogazicili (talk) 14:26, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Photo challenge

I would like to see a brief monthly note in The Signpost about the c:Commons:Photo challenge themes. It could probably be a simple, standardized blurb, e.g., The c:Commons:Photo challenge for December 2024 is to upload photos you have taken of pastel colors and footprints. Photos must be taken by the uploader. Vote for your favorites from last month's challenge.

Suggestion by David Eppstein (2024-12-20)

One for your listing of recent Misplaced Pages-related publications:

Eppstein, D.; Lewis, J. B.; Woodroofe, Russ; XOR'easter (2025). "Princ-wiki-a mathematica: Misplaced Pages editing and mathematics" (PDF). Notices of the AMS. 72 (1): 65–73..

Suggestion by Kosboot (2024-12-23)

The Signpost should write about... The 138th annual meeting of the American Historical Association is meeting in New York City and features a panel discussion on the topic Open Knowledge as Pedagogical Praxis: How Faculty and Students Are Opening up the Field of History by Improving Misplaced Pages. (This session is in-person only and meets Saturday morning, January 4 at 10:30-12 pm.) - kosboot (talk) 01:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC) kosboot (talk) 01:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
