A second opinion over at Wikipedia talk:Top 25 Report, if you're willing. Serendi pod ous 19:32, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
Hey Ed, I have not forgotten about ITM, and apologize for the inexplicable absence of it lately; between some real life busyness, the WikiCup, and a few other reasons, I just have not made the time to do it lately. It's one of those things that once you fall out of it, it's hard to jump back in - what am I covering, just this week, the last several weeks, whatever? This has led me to just ignore it a little, and for that, I sincerely apologize. With the aforementioned thought in mind, however, I think I could handle (and hopefully would have help from Jayen466, Andrewman327, Gamaliel, etc.) a monthly edition of ITM for the last Signpost of the month, to recap media coverage from the preceding month. I would hope to start this in April, but am wondering what the deadline would be. I need a deadline, as that is the other thing; lately, I have had some chunks of time during which I could write ITM, but didn't know which issue it would be for. Anyway, I have sort of made personally justifiable excuses for not doing ITM lately, and would like to rectify the situation by doing it on a monthly basis. Another benefit of the monthly issue would be that it would be more comprehensive, as there would have been more coverage. What thoughts do you have on this? Thanks! Go Phightins ! 21:19, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Hey there again The_ed17,
Can you do another op-ed for the English Wikivoyage project? Wikivoyage had recently attempted to attract more Wikipedia contributors by creating this joke article for April Fools Day and I'd be interested in what other Wikipedians had to say about it, and you can perhaps just generalize the topic to a discussion about the Wikivoyage project as a whole. TeleComNasSprVen ( talk • contribs) 07:46, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
FWIW, here's the page view stats--it got over 500 page views over a 2-day period. And here's the discussion--it beat out Xiamen for the April 1 front page. I don't see any discussion at the traveler's pub about this. I see User:TeleComNasSprVen is relatively new to WV; I wonder if more Signpost publicity is something the rest of the WV editors are eager for, if so, what form they would like it to take. — Neotarf ( talk) 07:13, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Can you update User:The ed17/Good articles by prose size and User:The ed17/Good articles by wiki text, which are 14.5 months old.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:03, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
I don't understand the statistics from the second one.
Got here after Captain goes down with the ship. I started cleaning a bit, and found all those references (way too many) to that Russell Phillips site. Then I noticed that it is not automatically a reliable source--and then that for instance in this version there is a lot, a LOT of not-close paraphrasing at all. For a moment I considered zapping all edits after it. Can you, ship expert and admin extraordinaire, have a look at it? Drmies ( talk) 22:50, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
User:Greatestrowerever will not change his signature to comply with policy. An IP left a message on his talk page, and he refused to change it, then I left a message, then he replied "No". A couple of years ago, he made a personal attack, you told him that he would be blocked if he attacked anyone else, he responded with an insult directed at you. What now? -- AmaryllisGardener talk 01:43, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

FYI, appears in print edition, I've noted this at diff. — Cirt ( talk) 12:00, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
Update: The AFD was closed as Keep, with rationale posted by the closing admin at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adrianne Wadewitz. Also, since Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2014-04-23/News and notes was posted, Wadewitz was the subject of another article, this time in the Los Angeles Times -- which was reprinted in The Washington Post and tweeted by the Norman Lear Center at https://twitter.com/LearCenter/status/459362401909882880 -- and also reprinted in the Chicago Tribune. Worth an update in the next issue of The Signpost. Cheers, — Cirt ( talk) 12:01, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

I am leaving here a copy of a message left on the talk page of the Bivalves Project:
"Questions have been raised about the accuracy of science articles written by the prolific author Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs). The background can be read in a regrettably long and bad-tempered thread at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Harassment. If you do not want to read the whole thing, start here. To her credit, Cwmhiraeth has initiated Wikipedia:Editor review/Cwmhiraeth. It would help to generate light, rather than more heat, and to decide whether there is a serious problem, if scientifically-qualified editors uninvolved in the row could review some of Cwmhiraeth's articles and comment at the editor review. JohnCD ( talk) 21:11, 14 April 2014 (UTC) This edit unsigned by User Cwmhiraeth at 06:23, 16 April 2014"
There is no suggestion that Cwmhiraeth is deliberately abusing the system; her edits all appear to be good faith, but rushing to paraphrase without sufficient careful analysis of the sources has apparently lead to a fair number of small but significant errors of fact in many (but not all) of her articles, for DYK and even for GA and FA. I am concerned that competing (successfully in 2012) to be winner of the Cup has encouraged this rushed approach. Invertzoo ( talk) 21:03, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
An editor review is underway of one the 2014 WikiCup competitors; see Wikipedia:Editor review/Cwmhiraeth. I think that your opinions would be welcome especially with regard to the WikiCup. Snowman ( talk) 22:29, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
I got tired of making the FC format anew each week... This should simplify things, as it now preloads this instead. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 23:48, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
