Using Mel Brooks' early life and education as an example, The American Prospect discussed the special treatment that some biographies of Jews receive[1]:

In general, Wikipedia listings don't identify the religions of most people, though they do often have brief references to ethnicity. But Jews get more detail. Wikipedia doesn't care whether a person is observant or whether they note Jewish identity in their own biographies. As in the Nuremberg laws, once a Jew, always a Jew. In some cases, Wikipedia even includes the Yiddish version of surnames, which seems to have no purpose except to underscore otherness.

This section is very much under construction, and I would like to have input from other Signpost editors onto the development of this section. It covers areas related to the Israel-Palestine conflict and Zionism.

Honest Reporting recently released an article WIKI Rights, a Euro-Med HRM project, where it refers to the organisation as a "radical antisemetic NGO", and describes the impact this has on the information landscape. The article is critical of the program, especially about their training of of activists and university students how to edit Wikipedia and their focus on the Gaza war, decribing their aims as appeaing "strikingly nefarious" and claims the organisation is "deeply embedded in the international campaign to portray Israel as committing genocide and other atrocity crimes".

According to the Euro-Med website, the goals of WIKI Rights are to enrich and promote human rights content on Wikipedia, create new and update existing human rights content, create teams interested in participating in their goals on Wikipedia, and "Strengthening the narrative of victims of violations and highlighting them to the other side's story." – M

Wikipedia has been turned into a gacha style card collecting game, with articles turned into their card form. Boing Boing has reported that the game appears to be vibe coded (generated by AI), and uses ads as opposed to microtransactions. The game uses data from Wikirank.net, a site for "Quality and popularity assessment of Wikipedia" to determine the rarity of a card, and combines this with page views and article size for the attack and defense values.

The site has been covered by various other technology focused outlets, largely praising it for gamifying education, including Rock Paper Shotgun [2], PC Gamer [3], a Forbes contributor [4], and mandatory.com [5].– M

This page is a draft for the next issue of the Signpost. Below is some helpful code that will help you write and format a Signpost draft. If it's blank, you can fill out a template by copy-pasting this in and pressing 'publish changes': {{subst:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Story-preload}}

Images and Galleries

Sidebar images To put an image in your article, use the following template (link): I understand the primacy of pure feeling in creative art. {{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Filler image-v2 |size = 300px |fullwidth = no |alt = TKTK |caption = |image = }} This will create the file on the right. Keep the 300px in most cases. If writing a 'full width' article, change |fullwidth=no to |fullwidth=yes. Inline images Placing {{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Inline image |size = 300px |align = center |alt = TKTK |caption = |image = }} (link) will instead create an inline image like below The significant thing is feeling, as such, quite apart from the environment in which it is called forth. Galleries To create a gallery, use the following <gallery style="float:right;" mode=packed | heights=200px> |TKTK |TKTK </gallery> Each line inside the tags should be formatted like File:Whatever.jpg|Caption). This creates: Art no longer cares to serve the state and religion, it no longer wishes to illustrate the history of manners. It wants to have nothing further to do with the object as such, and believes that it can exist in and for itself. If you want it centered, remove tstyle="float:right;" from the first line.

If writing a 'full width' article, change |fullwidth=no to |fullwidth=yes. A partial list of valid |tag= parameters can be found at here and will decide the list of articles presented. |seriestitle= is the title that will appear below 'Related articles' in the box.

If you think a topic would make a good series, but you don't see a tag for it, or that all the articles in a series seem 'old', ask for help at the WT:NEWSROOM. Many more tags exist, but they haven't been documented yet.
