I do (finally) think this should be published, pretty much as is. I will pre-publication make a comment, in the comment section, featuring Mikhail Bulgakov's dictum "Manuscripts don't burn", since this story gives a minor example where the dictum is incorrect.

Hello! I just wanted to point out a very interesting article from Il Post about the difficulties encountered by newly-registered Wikipedia users during their first contributions, and the tips they can take advantage of to improve and keep their confidence up. The article was written by Viola Stefanello – who we already cited on the Signpost before – and it's very interesting and informative, especially considering the context of a seemingly ever-shrinking base of users and admins on this platform. It also cites a recent video tutorial by Molly White and contains several brief interviews, including to Wikimedian Marta Arosio and admin Sannita. I'm not sure if I'll be able to add it myself, but it should make for a pretty engaging lead story! Oltrepier (talk) 20:57, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
@Jayen466 and JPxG: On [third] thought, I've decided to focus on pushing my original idea through for the next issue, since I've had quite a hectic schedule in real life as of late; plus, the ITM column for this issue already looks quite filled up, so let's not make it too bloated. I hope this isn't a problem... Oltrepier (talk) 09:23, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Offering addition for ADL pieceI'm not on the byline for the upcoming issue's "Wikipedia editors deem Anti-Defamation League unreliable on Israeli–Palestinian conflict" and think it's best to keep it that way. But wanted to note: Jewish Insider has a piece just posted yesterday, titled "Inside the war over Israel at Wikipedia", with this quote: "the exchange, which took place in an online community dedicated to editing Wikipedia articles to better reflect a pro-Palestinian narrative, offers a glimpse at how ideologically motivated actors operate behind the scenes to shape the knowledge shared on Wikipedia". ☆ Bri (talk) 17:42, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Paid editingThere's a piece in Entrepreneur.com just published, titled The Hidden World of Wikipedia Page Creation Services. It's being discussed at the Conflict of interest noticeboard. I scanned it and it looks like possibly an advertorial. I don't know if we should keep covering this sort of thing. On the one hand it keeps our readers aware of the phenomenon of paid editing. On the other hand I don't know if we want to direct traffic to this kind of thing, in principle. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:18, 2 July 2024 (UTC) |

Moved one comment to the existing section above: #Movement Charter Ratification vote. Regards, HaeB (talk) 00:15, 30 June 2024 (UTC) To keep track: I since wrote up one of the unfinished items (board elections). Another big one (movement charter) still needs a lot of work, see above, and some others are in need of a bit of polishing. And if someone has a moment, this ("Changes to User Groups recognition process") seems worth covering as a brief item. Regards, HaeB (talk) 02:00, 1 July 2024 (UTC) |

Hello! First of all, sorry for not being able to help with the up-coming issue: I've been pretty much snowed with other tasks and priorities... Since the first ever election cycle for the newly-established Italian ArbCom has just come to an end, I feel like it would be nice to talk about it next time, so much that I'm considering to write a full Special report about it, by even reaching out to some of the most notable users involved in the process. However, if you feel like we should rather stick to a shorter blurb in the "News and notes" column, I'd be up for it, as well! How do you all feel about this?

NormandyI don't claim to be an expert on military history, but I see some potential errors in the description of the invasion of Normandy. If this is important enough to go over, let me know, otherwise I'm probably not going to invest more time in it. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC) |
