The Signpost: 2 August 2020

Galleery article for The Signpost?

I saw User:Josve05a/species and it looks marvelous. I'd love to put it as a Gallery article for our next issue. May I move (or copy) it over? I'll suggest a couple of changes. 1) is I think that there are 2-3 photos that are likely very rare and marvelous pictures, but still wouldn't come across so well to the average reader so I might remove those. I'll also suggest that you give a bit more info on Inaturalist. Finally I'll break up the text and photos into sections. I think it will look great.

Sincerely,

Yes please! Feel free to do whatever editing your like :) I will add more info about iNaturalist shortly. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 04:52, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Please add, edit at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Gallery. I think the photos are "upside down" - the most endangered should be at the top. The text you have (or edit or change) should be interleaved with the photo groups. I'll get back to editing it on Thursday. Thanks. Smallbones(smalltalk) 17:52, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
I was, unfortunately, AFK for most of yesterday, so wasn't around. Saw that you had done this already. I've added some more image and added a few more words to the text. Not sure how to best "interleave it"... Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 17:26, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
I think it's just about ready to go. I have turned the order around with Critically endangered up top. And interleaved the text in betwen the groups of photos. That way people don't think they have to read the whole thing before they look at the photos!

I think it's down to 33 photos, I'd like only 30 photos - that way it loads faster for folks who have slow connections. But please don' add more photos unless you take out the same number. Thanks. It looks good. Smallbones(smalltalk) 16:30, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much Smallbones for all your help! This was my 7th "own" article in The Signpost (plus 2 which I got a byline credit for helping writing some parts); my first being Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2015-05-27/Discussion report. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 19:40, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
We'd love to have you write some more. There's always In the media where you can add just a short paragraph if needed, I'd like to do News and notes in much the same way, or if you have a particular topic you like, you could write a regular (or semi-regular) column. e.g. GLAM, European language versions, etc. Let me know if there is anything I can do to get you started.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Magnolia caricifragrans, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cundinamarca. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
