The Signpost is usually published over the weekend period and is currently on a fortnightly publication schedule. Signpost contributors can contact the editors-in-chief for updates on the publication date below. Once all tasks are complete, the publication manager will complete the publication process.
Current discussion
Ideas for Signpost features can be pitched and discussed by any interested parties here. Items should be listed directly at the opinion desk or the special desk, submissions from which are automatically transcluded here.
From the opinion desk
The following proposals have been transcluded from the opinion desk.
WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia is looking for people who are interested in helping out in our project to get our articles into an audio format that can be used for any number of uses including, but not limited to, visually impaired or people who just prefer to listen to the article instead of reading it for whatever reason they choose. We are also in need of people who speak other languages so that the proper pronunciation of words can be properly spoken into the audio file by the editors.
Paused Solicited interviewees at the talk page some time ago, but got no responses. Feel free to send me a message if anyone wants to participate in a potential interview. 🐶 EpicPupper(he/him | talk)21:53, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The good volunteers of WikiProject Unreferenced articles are heroically slogging through over 143,000 unreferenced articles with a backlog dating back to January 2007 (as of writing January 2007 has 284 unreferenced articles). The project is semi-active which is shocking given the importance of well-referenced information to Wikipedia's overall purpose. There has been a boost in activity since this proposal was posted and we are trying to keep the momentum going. I have personally finished the December 2007 and July 2007 categories (incredibly satisfying) and would like to raise as much awareness as possible so the project could come back to fully active status and we would start working through this backlog in a more systematic fashion. If there is any interest in helping, please reach out! There is also an edit summary that can be used that links to the project to spread the word to other editors. - Kazamzam (talk) 12:26, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WikiProject Apple Inc. has been less active in recent years, and many articles are currently stuck at C-class or below. Several articles have seen minimal updated information beyond the 2000s or early 2010s. All help is appreciated! Theknine2 (talk) 20:53, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Andreas, what is the planned publication time at this point? Seems we still aren't too far content-wise ... I will aim to have "recent research" in a publishable form in 12 hours from now. Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 19:34, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As usual, we are preparing this month's survey on recent academic research about Wikipedia, doubling as the Wikimedia Research Newsletter (which was launched half a decade ago almost to this day). Help is welcome to review and/or summarize the many interesting items listed here, as are suggestions of other new research papers that haven't been covered yet.

Honestly, I don't know. I'm going to be very busy for the next week, so it's going to get pretty late. I could finish it if you think it's still going to be relevant? Adam Cuerden(talk)11:52, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
