Calling out for copyeditors

We have several sections pending copyedit. Please help! This will go out mid-week so the weekend is probably our best chance for a good go-over on the currently completed sections: Arbitration report, Traffic report, Gallery, Essay and Humour. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:38, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Just did AR and Gallery. — pythoncoder  (talk | contribs) 19:13, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

February writing deadline

@Bluerasberry, Pythoncoder, Evad37, DannyS712, and Tbayer (WMF): Editors of unfinished features (In the media, Discussion report, Featured content, Technology report, and Recent research respectively): please wrap writing by midnight tonight Pacific Time or reply here on when you will be able to complete. Trying to keep issue on track! ☆ Bri (talk) 00:42, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

AFAIAA, I'm done with my part(s) of the technology report --DannyS712 (talk) 00:13, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Will do. Also, Evad, glad to see your username has yet another new background color! — pythoncoder  (talk | contribs) 00:48, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Featured content just needs a copyedit now. I'll try to have my part of the Tech report done by your deadline, which I think converts to 08:00 UTC (if not I'll reply here again with an update). - Evad37 [talk] 02:33, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

If everyone could show me they've completed their work, I'll be ready to publish. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:09, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

I've been careful to mark both the items-in-development and the Newsroom roster as completed in all cases. Based on reader response I treat "News and notes" as a must-have but other sections can be dropped if they aren't completed on time. Speaking of which, News and notes is kind of thin, more on this below. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

• I will do meta:Affiliate-selected Board seats/2019 by tonight. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:39, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

• Will that be in News and notes? ☆ Bri (talk) 15:33, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

I drafted it at User:Bluerasberry/Signpost Story1. @Bri: can you ping anyone who you think is likely to be able to contribute to copyediting this? @Pythoncoder, Evad37, DannyS712, and Chris troutman: I would appreciate any copyediting you have to offer for this timely and important announcement. I will try to recruit some fact checking from others involved in the election. Thanks for the deep editorial patience of accepting a last-minute long submission.

I find this rather mean-spirited personally. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 03:08, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

I found it hilarious. Also am impressed that a Bing search for the desperate loneliness of the "royal we" takes you to the draft-in-progress. ☆ Bri (talk) 04:21, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

News and notes

If anybody is interested in contributing to News and notes, either as a headline item, or as a brief note, go for it! It's kind of thin for this issue. There are some discussions I've been personally involved in that I think are newsworthy but I'm too modest to add them myself. You might want to see WP:VPP for ideas. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:32, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

@Bri: I'll add a small note about the VP discussion about portals --DannyS712 (talk) 04:06, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Re: "Help wanted (still)"

I'm copy editing this. Don't judge me. ―MattLongCT -Talk-^☖ 23:22, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
