Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/About

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wikipedia Signpost is a community-written and community-edited newspaper, covering events and stories related to the English Wikipedia. Major news from other Wikimedia Foundation projects is also included as occasion permits. A new issue is published each week and one can subscribe to the Signpost via talk page delivery, RSS or Twitter. The first issue of the Signpost was published on 10 January 2005.

The Signpost Newsroom is for the discussion of stories among the contributing editors. Anyone can contribute articles to the Signpost. Suggestions and news tips from the wider community are also welcomed at the newsroom's tip line.

The current editor-in-chief is Ragesoss. Michael Snow served as editor-in-chief from the paper's beginnings in January 2005 through August 2005, followed by Ral315 through December 2008.

Unlike most Wikipedia content, 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.
