Do you need someone to handle featured content? Probably would want to do a big catchup to start, so shall we say next issue? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 06:07, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Adam Cuerden: Good to have you here. I would welcome your contribution, and yes of course it is not the right time to try to insert anything in issue 12; we are probably going to press today. Are you familiar with the conventions used in previous issues? There is an article template generated when you hit the "Start article" button in the newsroom. If you don't mind, you can experiment with that but please don't save quite yet. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:48, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I ran it for about a year some time ago; wi 'll probably need to adapt it a bit for the catchup, but should be done after. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 19:21, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just ping me too if any help is needed. It's been some time I've used them tools too. (Hi Adam..:-)) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 06:13, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Issue 1 or 13

Area for next issue - issue 1 if published in 2019, or 13 if 2018. I recommend starting with a show of hands for folks who feel they can contribute during December, so we can set an issue date. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:07, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be doing the WikiProject Report with WP:WPAFC for December. programmingGeek(talk, contribs) 01:48, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Editor-in-Chief position is vacant

Just a reminder that I'm serving as interim E-in-C. How this works is, nomination by acclaim or self-appointment. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:08, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bri, if you want the job I don't think anyone would seriously object. programmingGeek(talk, contribs) 01:48, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What I'm getting from this post is that Bri doesn't want to be permanent EiC (though if he did I would support it as he's done a good job). Please correct me if I'm wrong. — pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 15:29, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

pythoncoder, I'll continue to share some of the responsibility for editing decisions with Bri as joint acting E-in-Cs. I occasionally have time to check over things as I did last month, but my time is severly limited, but while I have stopped following my watchlist, I do check in to the newsroom regularly.

Compromised admin accounts

Looking back at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2007-05-14/Compromised accounts, I wonder if we should run another one. There were four admin accounts compromised in late November, according to the Administrators Newsletter. ☆ Bri (talk) 04:06, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A brief log of four identified compromised admin accounts is at User:Bri/Compromised (Esanchez7587, Garzo, Killiondude, Orangemike (in chronological order)). @Kudpung: do you want to include this in News and notes? You have just one of them listed currently. Bri.public (talk) 19:43, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bri, done and updated. I wasn't aware of thr others. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:22, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reset for December

I am thinking to reset time of next issues14.232.160.139 (talk) 10:27, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How does 29 December publication sound to everyone? ☆ Bri (talk) 16:06, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds good because it means we won't be publishing on Christmas or New Year’s. — pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 17:02, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
