WP:SIGNPOST
The Signpost
(formerly
The Wikipedia Signpost
) is the
English Wikipedia
's
online newspaper
. Managed by the volunteer community of editors, it is published online with contributions from Wikimedia editors. The newspaper's scope includes the Wikimedia community and events related to Wikipedia, including
Arbitration Committee
rulings,
Wikimedia Foundation
issues, and
other Wikipedia-related projects
. It was founded in January 2005 by Wikipedian Michael Snow, who continued as a contributor until his February 2008 appointment to the Wikimedia Foundation's
Board of Trustees
Former editor-in-chief The ed17 noted that during his tenure, from 2012 to 2015, the publication expanded its scope to report on the wider Wikimedia movement in addition to Wikipedia and its community.
After it reported on the changes to European
freedom of panorama
law in June 2015, a number of publications referred to
The Signpost
for further information.
The Signpost
has been the subject of academic analysis in several
journals
, and was consulted by researchers from
Los Alamos National Laboratory
and
Dartmouth College
. It has been covered by several publications, including John Broughton's 2008 book
Wikipedia: The Missing Manual
which called it essential for ambitious new Wikipedia editors.
History
edit
Signpost
founder Michael Snow later chaired the Wikimedia Foundation's board of trustees.
The
online newspaper
, first published in January 2005 as
The Wikipedia Signpost
, was later renamed
The Signpost
It was founded by the lawyer Michael Snow, a Wikipedian who later chaired the
Wikimedia Foundation
's Board of Trustees.
Similar efforts had been made with
Wikipedia:Announcements
by
Larry Sanger
on November 20, 2001,
Wikimedia News
on
Meta-Wiki
November 14, 2002,
and
Wikipedia-Kurier
in the
German Wikipedia
on December 10, 2003.
Snow wrote in its first issue: "I hope this will be a worthwhile source of news for people interested in what is happening around the Wikipedia community",
10
and said that
The Signpost
's
name was suggested by the Wikipedia practice of editors digitally signing talk-page posts.
10
He stepped down as editor of
The Signpost
in August 2005, continuing to write for the newspaper until his February 2008 appointment to the board of trustees.
11
User Ral315 succeeded Snow as editor, writing in his first post: "I'd like to personally thank Michael for his work on the
Signpost
; it was a great idea that really helped Wikipedians learn more about the happenings on Wikipedia."
12
He conducted a survey for
The Signpost
in September 2007, estimating a weekly readership of approximately 2,800 Wikipedia users based on survey results.
13
In July 2008, Ral315 wrote about
transparency
for
The Signpost
, acknowledging that at the request of the Wikimedia Foundation, the newspaper had decided not to publish an article about a pending legal case against the foundation.
14
According to the editor, "I feel this was an unfortunate, but necessary move"; because of the newspaper's affiliation with the Wikimedia Foundation, an article about the lawsuit "might have had a severe effect on the case."
14
Ral315 expressed concern about the future impact of the decision: "I'm still rather troubled by the very nature of this situation because it was the first time that I've felt pressured by the Wikimedia Foundation not to write or publish a story. This also leaves us with a dangerous precedent that I'm hoping only to keep in the most serious cases."
14
Wikipedia community
members working on
The Signpost
at a conference in New York City, 2009
The Signpost
published its 200th issue in November 2008.
15
A total of 1,731 articles had been published, written by 181 contributors.
15
Wikipedia user Ragesoss took over as editor of the newspaper in February 2009, in an issue that featured a new layout.
16
Ragesoss resigned as editor in June 2010, and HaeB took over as the newspaper debated changing its name from
The Wikipedia Signpost
to
The Signpost
17
That year, sister Wikipedia publications managed by volunteer contributors included
The Wikipedia Weekly
, a
podcast
, and
The Wikizine
, a news bulletin (now defunct).
18
19
HaeB resigned as editor after he was hired by the Wikimedia Foundation in July 2011: "It would make it too much of a conflict of interest if I were to continue to make final editorial decisions for a community-run publication."
20
After three interim editors-in-chief,
21
Wikipedia user The ed17 took over in May 2012 as
The Signpost
's
eighth editor.
22
He previously edited
The Bugle
, the publication of the
WikiProject
dedicated to improving the encyclopedia's
military history
articles.
22
The
International Business Times
noted in a 2013 article that
The Signpost
's
investigative journalism
uncovered a link between the
Wiki-PR
firm and
conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia
23
2015 reporting by
The Signpost
on changes to
freedom of panorama
copyright restrictions in Europe was covered by publications in several languages, including German,
24
Italian,
25
Polish,
26
and Russian.
27
After its June 2015 reporting on the likelihood of increased copyright restrictions in Europe involving changes to
freedom of panorama
28
The Signpost
was consulted for information by publications in several languages, including English,
29
30
German,
24
Italian,
25
Polish,
26
31
and Russian.
27
Heise Online
highlighted the use of a
papal conclave
image in a
Signpost
article about the controversy with Wikimedia Foundation executive director
Lila Tretikov
, saying that it symbolized pressure on the foundation's board of trustees.
32
Wikipedia users Gamaliel and Go Phightins! became editors-in-chief of
The Signpost
in January 2015.
The ed17 noted that during his tenure, the newspaper expanded its scope beyond the English Wikipedia to the wider Wikimedia movement.
In a January 2015 tenth-anniversary retrospective, Gamaliel emphasized that further improvements to the newspaper depended on collaboration and involvement by the Wikipedia community and invited users to contribute suggestions and join the editing team.
33
In their first issue of the newspaper as editors-in-chief, Go Phightins! and Gamaliel wrote about
The Signpost
's
unique role: "We will strive to maintain our voice and standing as an independent entity, separate from the WMF, Wikimedia chapters, WikiEd, or other entities."
34
In January 2016,
Fortune
and
Ars Technica
relied on
The Signpost
in reporting a
vote of no confidence
by Wikipedia editors against
Arnnon Geshuri
joining the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees.
35
36
While reporting in February 2016 about controversy and confusion at the Wikimedia Foundation concerning executive director
Lila Tretikov
remaining in her position,
The Signpost
illustrated its article with a photo of black smoke emanating from a chimney in reference to the
papal conclave
used to select a pope.
32
According to
Heise Online
, the photo indicated pressure on the board to take action.
32
Andreas Kolbe wrote for
The Signpost
"that the creation of a successful search engine would transform volunteers into 'unpaid hamsters.
37
Go Phightins! and Gamaliel remained co-editors-in-chief until the latter's resignation from Wikipedia in May 2016;
38
Go Phightins! would continue until August, when the role was passed to Andreas Kolbe and Pete Forsyth.
39
In November of that year, Kolbe departed,
40
and in June 2017, Evad37 assumed the role of sole editor-in-chief.
41
42
Between 2018 and 2019, Bri and Kudpung both edited several issues;
43
44
in March 2019, Smallbones was selected as the next editor-in-chief.
45
In May 2022, he retired from the position, succeeded by EpicPupper and JPxG, who were co-editors-in-chief until the former's resignation in September of that year.
46
Currently, the editor-in-chief is JPxG.
In 2018, a
Signpost
article by writer (and later editor-in-chief) Smallbones broke the news that
World Patent Marketing
, a company whose advisory board included then-acting
United States Attorney General
Matthew Whitaker
, had likely
made inappropriate edits
to Whitaker's Wikipedia article, saying: "an editor with an account name almost identical to that of a WPM PR agent, as named in the FOIA release edited the article on Whitaker, adding external links in the text to both WPM's website and Whitaker's law office";
47
this was subsequently reported on, and cited, by
The Wall Street Journal
and
Newser
48
49
In 2023, a report in
The Signpost
claimed that there may have been manipulation of several Wikipedia pages related to
Gautam Adani
and his companies, by use of
sock puppets
. This story was then picked up by multiple Indian news outlets, including
The Times of India
and
The Hindu
50
51
Content
edit
The Signpost
publishes stories relating to the
Wikipedia community
, the
Wikimedia Foundation
, and other
Wikipedia-related projects
52
53
54
55
and is provided free of charge.
56
57
The Wikipedia community manages the newspaper. From 2005 to March 2016,
The Signpost
was published weekly. In April 2016, the nominal periodicity was changed to "fortnightly" (every two weeks) due to a shortage of contributors.
58
But in January and February 2017 only three issues were published,
59
and none in March, April or May. It is now published monthly. Readers may choose to be notified of a new issue by email or, with a Wikipedia account, on their user talk page.
60
The newspaper informs Wikipedia editors about ongoing collaborative projects to improve articles on the site
61
and is a location for centralized notices of
recent academic studies about Wikipedia
The Signpost
includes an arbitration report, formerly known as "The Report on Lengthy Litigation", which details proceedings by Wikipedia's
Arbitration Committee
62
The Signpost
archives are publicly available, facilitating study of the
history of Wikipedia
63
Analysis
edit
The Signpost
is a subcommunity within the larger Wikipedia community.
64
Researchers at
Los Alamos National Laboratory
and
Dartmouth College
relied on
Signpost
archives to track Wikipedia editing outages, presenting their findings at the 2011 IEEEIWIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence.
65
In her 2013 study of Wikipedia and its reputation in higher education in the journal
New Review of Academic Librarianship
, Gemma Bayliss reviewed the
Signpost
Twitter feed to confirm the timeliness of her research.
66
Reception
edit
If you expect to continue editing at Wikipedia ... subscribe to ...
The Wikipedia Signpost
— John Broughton,
Wikipedia: The Missing Manual
60
In 2007
The New York Times
called
The Signpost
a "mocked-up newspaper" with a retro style characteristic of Wikipedia and "its own special brand of kitsch".
67
In his 2008 book
Wikipedia: The Missing Manual
, John Broughton recommended
The Signpost
as essential reading for aspiring Wikipedia contributors: "If you expect to continue editing at Wikipedia for any length of time, by all means subscribe to ...
The Wikipedia Signpost
."
60
Fortune
called
The Signpost
"Wikipedia's insider newspaper".
35
In a 2016 article
The Register
s executive editor,
Andrew Orlowski
, called
The Signpost
"Wikipedia's own plucky newsletter."
68
According to
Ars Technica
tech-policy editor Joe Mullin, documents were leaked to (and published by)
The Signpost
about the
Knight Foundation
's
Knowledge Engine
grant for a Wikimedia Foundation search-engine project in February 2016.
69
Writing about the Knowledge Engine controversy,
Nonprofit Quarterly
editor-in-chief Ruth McCambridge directed technically minded readers to
The Signpost
"to better understand what was being planned."
70
In his article for the German magazine
Heise Online
, Torsten Kleinz wrote: "When official communications ground to a halt,
The Signpost
... jumped into the breach, brought unknown facts to light and initiated an informed discussion."
