About The Signpost
The Signpost is a community-written and community-edited newspaper, covering stories, events and reports related to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation sister projects. A new issue is published every Monday, and one can subscribe via talk page delivery (also on sister projects), template transclusion, RSS, Twitter or Identi.ca.
The Signpost Newsroom is for the development of stories among contributing editors. Anyone can contribute articles; suggestions and news tips from the wider community are also welcomed at the newsroom's suggestions page.
The first issue of The Wikipedia Signpost was published on 10 January 2005. Michael Snow served as editor-in-chief from the paper's beginnings until August 2005, when he was followed by Ral315 through December 2008. Ragesoss was the editor from February 2009 until June 2010; HaeB served as editor from June 2010 until July 2011; and Jarry1250 served as interim editor from August to September 2011. The current position of editor-in-chief is jointly held in the interim by SMasters and Skomorokh.
The Signpost is an independent publication which is not affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation. The contents of articles are that of their authors alone, and may not reflect the opinion of the Foundation. Unlike most Wikipedia pages, 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.
