Comments

[edit]

This template uses section transclusion to automatically show the comments from Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom. This corresponds to the task name, so that e.g. "News and Notes" will try to transclude Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom#News and notes. If there's no section, you can create one at that title on the talk page and it will show up.

Hi, an idea for mentioning in the next issue. English Wikipedia now has 1,000 editors with 100,000, a nice round number event. The thousandth to reach the milestone (or, some say, signpost) was user Ecangola. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:00, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Randy Kryn: This is neat, thanks for the post. I'll forward this to the newsroom :) jp×g🗯️ 06:18, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Partly done: I decided not to include the username, as I don't think it is necessary to draw more attention to a user than needed. Mitchsavl (talk) 09:14, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a neat thing to cover. jp×g🗯️ 06:19, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote this Quarry query to confirm the 1,1000/100,000 figure. Since some users (such as me) operate more than one legitimate account, the sum across human users could be higher. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:28, 9 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
