I’m not sure when this happened, but sometime in the last year, the Signpost got a new landing page format.
It’s still a sausagefest.
And the new thing is hard to read. But maybe that’s a feature, not a bug.
Technically, the second image is the single page report, which is still available, but the old landing page looked similar.
Here’s what the same thing looks like on the mailing list. You can click directly on the piece you want to read.
I was going to say something about the “humor” which consists of someone changing a school principal’s name to something “balls”. Ha ha ha, “balls”. Yuckety yuck yuck, har de har har har. Get it? “Balls”. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. “Balls”, ha ha ha ha. And now I see it was written by the current editor in chief.
Wikipediocracy has absolutely excoriated several former Signpost EiCs in the past. I wonder if they will say something about this one.
If you want to save time, there is now a table where you can see the authors and click directly through to the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/All
Checking the edit history, this is an absolutely new page, and put together by the new editor in chief, the same one with the “balls” jokes, so hmm, maybe he knows his audience.
Speaking of editor-in-chief, I wonder whatever happened to The Ed17? He was strictly professional, he was in grad school at the time, and was later hired for the WMF blog. Looks like he is still around, in the communications department. He even lists the Signpost in his profile. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ed_Erhart_(WMF)
