:::If I can do it, I would like to cover both, but otherwise the "why does the WMF let this happen? What's our interest in letting people think Google did anything for this knowledge?" angle will have to suffice... Thank you for the links, very interesting!

::::{{u|Zarasophos}}, I seem to recall, IIRR, that the fast indexing by Google of our articles and the Google results page infoboxes were part of a bargain between the WMF and Google for a significant donation from Google.

Revision as of 07:42, 19 June 2018
Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Navigation
Submission DeskPlease propose Signpost stories you want to write (or have already begun writing). Submitted stories are published subject to the approval of the editor-in-chief, Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Editor(s) in chief. We value the involvement of Wikipedians, and appreciate your submissions. If you have ideas or questions that don't fit neatly into this framework, don't hesitate to address us on our user talk pages, by email, or as a last resort, on the general Signpost talk page. The Signpost's content guidelines may be useful to aspiring writers; take note, especially, of the statement of purpose section. We encourage you to contact us early in the process of developing a story. Different writers have varying levels of interest in editorial input, and we pride ourselves on finding the right balance with each writer; but in most cases, a brief discussion early on can help all parties shape our expectations, and can help produce a strong finished piece. We aim to support Wikimedians wishing to share news with their peers, and look forward to working with you. News Proposals

GuidelinesPlease comment on submissions below: share ideas about how to improve pieces that catch your interest, make suggestions as to whether a given piece is ready for publication, or pitch ideas for future pieces. Note that news submissions should be kept relatively neutral. We ask that comments be kept constructive; if you are unclear on any of the process or have questions related thereto, feel free to use the talkpage. Generally speaking special reports are less factional than op-eds are, so are not subject to quite as much approval. The criteria for publishing opinion pieces are quality of argument, originality, and relevance to the community, as judged by the Signpost. Similar to newspaper op-eds, opinion pieces should be accompanied by an extended byline (suggestion: one to three sentences), that briefly introduces the author and indicates why his or her opinion about the topic might interest the reader. The purpose of publishing opinion pieces is to provoke thought and discussion in a productive rather than antagonistic fashion, and so submissions should be well-researched and not factually misleading or unnecessarily inflammatory. A related set of submissions that address the same issue but from editors' different perspectives are especially encouraged. Unlike the weekly news reporting focus of the standard Signpost articles, and the investigative and evaluative focus of its special reports, opinion pieces are primarily editorial in tone. As the Signpost does not have a house point-of-view or political agenda, it does not endorse the perspectives of opinion pieces, which express only the views of their authors. To easily set up a new page with Signpost formatting, create the page with Alternatively, you can just focus on the writing, and Signpost editors can help with formatting later.

I don't think the Editor in Chief needs to submit their pieces for approval :P Zarasophos (talk) 05:26, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
Google is not responsible for Wikipedia's mistakes (so it shouldn't get credit for our work, either)
