Featured content: Wikipedia hit by the Streisand effect (2,836 bytes · 💬)

Where is the discussion of Wikipedia being "hit by the Streisand effect?"Edison (talk) 04:23, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Wikipedia was not literally hit "hit by the Streisand effect", but something related to the Streisand effect was featured on Wikipedia. I'd rather not go into Gilbatrarpedia stuff in FC — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:29, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
Under Streisand Effect in Featured Pictures, doesn't "phenomena" have to be "phenomenon" as it's discussing only one thing? - a boat that can float! (watch me float!) 12:16, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, that's right. Fixed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:27, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

No mention of the Streisand effect being the basis for there being no centralized revdel/oversight request pages? — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 22:29, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- OR ;-) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:13, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
  - Nuh-uh! ;) See WP:REVDEL#How to request Revision Deletion. — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 23:22, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
    - Hmm... shame putting it here could be seen as OR. I'd hate to have to block myself for "unconstructive content" — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:31, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
      - Haha it's just a strange coincidence - I only learned about this term last week, after reading the revdel policy. When I saw this headline, I assumed it was going to be about us screwing up in that regard! — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 23:36, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
        That may have been where I learned the term too, actually. Don't remember. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:54, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

News and notes: FDC's financial muscle kicks in (1,321 bytes · 💬)

Shouldn't currently in the throws of a ... be currently in the throes of a ..., or is the spelling a US/Aus/Can/Indian etc variant of UK spelling? - Sitush (talk) 10:02, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Meh. Fixed. Tony (talk) 10:22, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

For context (scale), it might be useful to indicate what portion of the total WMF budget these FDC allocations represent. (These are big numbers, and one may recall a time, not so long ago, when $10M was more than the Foundation's total budget.) ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:20, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

The Wikipedian in Residence page at http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence needs updating with the new position (I'd do it but I don't have time right now). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 18:10, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Technology report: Structural reorganisation "not a done deal" (1,187 bytes · 💬)

Thanks to the editor for the note about retiring a feature for which there are not resources to adequately manage. I appreciate the managing staff's efforts to maintain quality within the newspaper's scope. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:33, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Sure, you're right, "quality" (maybe one day also in the editor's own pieces?). --Nemo 08:30, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
For those who missed the discussion on the poll: Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-11-12/Technology report (I also added some links pointing to discussions somebody there was looking for). --Nemo 08:30, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
