The Wikipedia Signpost is a community-written and community-edited newspaper, covering events and stories related to the English Wikipedia. Major news from other Wikimedia Foundation projects is also included as occasion permits. A new issue is published on Monday or Tuesday of each week and one can subscribe to the Signpost by using the Template:Signpost-subscription. The first issue of the Signpost was published on 10 January 2005. A Newsroom was set up to facilitate discussion of stories among the contributing editors. Anyone can contribute articles to the Signpost. Suggestions and news tips from the wider community are also welcomed at the newsroom's tip line. The current editor-in-chief is Ral315. Michael Snow served as editor-in-chief from the paper's beginnings in January 2005 through August 2005. Unlike most Wikipedia content, Signpost articles carry a byline, to indicate the person responsible for what often amounts to original reporting. However, post-publication edits such as grammatical and spelling corrections to articles are welcome. |
