This is The Signpost Newsroom, a place where The Signpost team can coordinate with writers, both regular and occasional, and people who have suggestions for topics to cover. See the boxes below if you have suggestions (something for the team to write about in regular columns), proposal/submissions (for articles you want to write/have written yourself), or want to create a pre-formatted draft article in your userspace, with helpful links and easy-to-edit syntax. Discussion occurs both here and in the SignpostDiscord.
Discussion of upcoming issues is done at the newsroom talk page. For general feedback on The Signpost as a whole, go to our talk page. To learn more about The Signpost, see our about page.
The Signpost currently has 5872 articles, 729 issues, and 14459 pages (4758 talk and 9701 non-talk).
To suggest a topic to be covered by The Signpost, simply click on the button below or post to our suggestions page manually. Example of good topics are
Editors who have done something extraordinary/wonderful
If you have an idea for an article you would like to write, you can submit it for review by the editorial team. You can do so by clicking the button below or by posting to our submissions page manually.
News articles should be kept relatively neutral and report on a specific piece of actual news. They can be on any topic of interest to Wikipedians, from general events, to technical news.
Opinion pieces are evaluate on originality, relevance to Wikipedians, and the quality of the arguments. They should provoke thought and encourage productive discussion.
Special pieces cover things that don't fall neatly in the above two categories. If it's interesting to you, it's likely interesting to someone else as well. Check with us and we'll see what can be done!
Create a draft
To create a draft of an article in your userspace, simply copy-paste {{subst:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Story-preload}} at Special:MyPage/Signpost draft (replacing USERNAME with your own username).
You can also use the button below. This will preload a form, which you can then save and edit. We recommend saving without making any edits to the preloaded form before starting to write your article.
Below here is an automatically generated master list of every page whose title starts with Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/. It's automatically generated by SDZeroBot every day. Also consult the mockup page for the next issue to make sure all of their titles, images and blurbs are correct.
You should click the button to manually update it and make sure it's current before doing anything serious.
Note: There are also a bunch of things in /Drafts and /Next next issue. When prepping an issue, make sure that articles in this expand-o-box are accounted for.
Note: The below discussions are automatically transcluded from the newsroom talk page; to comment on a draft or submission, go there and create a section with the same name (i.e. "News and notes", "Arbitration report" etc).
@Shadestar474: Yes thank you for offering to copyedit. NabuKudurru here is a first-time Signpost contributor. If you have ideas while reviewing this text, then can you please also offer developmental editing suggestions to fit the text to the Wikipedia community's needs? Bri here has recommending getting to the point sooner, and maybe while reading this you will have another suggestion. But straightforward copyediting is also welcome.

I’m also a first-time contributor to the Signpost, so I doubt I’ll have much additional value to add to the text itself, but if I have any thoughts, I’ll make sure to share them! And thanks so much for letting me copyedit it :) Cheers, 𝔰𝔥𝔞𝔡𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔯(𝔱𝔞𝔩𝔨) -⃝⃤ (they/he) In solidarity.19:08, 30 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I’ve copyedited it; I changed some wording to make it more accurate and flow better, but definitely feel free to correct me if in any rephrasing I accidentally got a fact wrong or something. (I also deleted the extra TLDR section at the bottom of the page.)
I really don’t see any problems with it journalistically, except that it’s rather unclear who ‘we’ is. we suggest that a simple, straightforward strategy would be […] Could you state that a bit more clearly somewhere near the top of the article? Otherwise, it seems perfect. Cheers, 𝔰𝔥𝔞𝔡𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔯(𝔱𝔞𝔩𝔨) -⃝⃤ (they/he) In solidarity.19:48, 30 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Thank you, sorry for rechanging :D I am still editing it some - some edits got lost probably i left the edit screen open too long. I will have it finally soon. Best, Brett NabuKudurru (talk) 08:47, 6 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Mk, that’s cool :) No worries about changing the phrasing, by the way; you made some really excellent changes that I didn’t even think of! Just let me know when you’re finished and I’ll get to copyediting it as soon as I can. Cheers! 𝔰𝔥𝔞𝔡𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔯(𝔱𝔞𝔩𝔨) (any/all) In solidarity.08:54, 6 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@NabuKudurru: I saw you added some content; would you mind if I copyedited it further for additional grammar/punctuation things? (In addition, if I see phrasing I want to change, should I just go ahead and do that like I did previously or discuss that with you? Asking since I saw you changed back some of the rephrasing) Cheers, 𝔰𝔥𝔞𝔡𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔯(𝔱𝔞𝔩𝔨) -⃝⃤ (any/all) In solidarity.03:01, 3 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
Thank you for edits - it looks good. the end is a bit hasty but the longer it is the longer it takes.
