At least two articles got missed from publication this month, despite being ready weeks in advance. This should have been delayed until it could have been published competently. No apologies have been forthcoming. One of these was an obituary for a dead Wikipedian. However, we do have two seperate articles that attack the WMF, so at least we got everything important in.

Good on you. scope_creep^Talk 17:57, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Even Elon Musk takes some time to rev up to speed, so it's nice that an editor has taken on the task of editing The Signpost. Adam Cuerden, can you link to the two articles, and hopefully they will be printed next time. I'm assuming one is on deceased and missed editor BeenAroundAWhile. Thanks.

@Randy Kryn: Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Next_issue/Obituary (which isn't even on the list for next month), and Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Next_issue/CommonsComix Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs} 16:14, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Adam Cuerden. Not for user:BeenAroundAWhile, who also should have an obit. Neither of the two stories seem ready (especially the second link, I'm not sure what it is about), so this seems like a good editorial decision on the part of the new Signpost editor.

@Adam Cuerden: I've responded to your comments on this subject at the newsroom talk page -- not sure if you didn't see them, or if the ping didn't go through or something. If you want to help with fixing the template bug that prevented those articles from being visible on the newsroom index this month, I could use some opinions and suggestions (there is a new thread at the bottom for this). jp×g 17:25, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck reading all the Signpost pages. Saying that's a massive undertaking is almost an understatement. The idea has popped into my head before but I've never tried to actually go through with it. Let me know if you think it's worth it? Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 20:52, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
