The Signpost (previously known as The Wikipedia Signpost[1]) is the English Wikipedia’s free internal newsletter.[2][3][4] It is managed by the Wikipedia community and is published online, usually weekly.[2][5] Each edition contains stories and articles related to the Wikipedia community.[6][7] Contributions to the newsletter are made by a wide range of editors.[2]
Newsletter
The publication was launched in January 2005 under the original name The Wikipedia Signpost and was later renamed simply to The Signpost.[8][2][1] It was founded by Michael Snow, a Wikipedia administrator and later Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees.[1][9] In 2010, sister internal Wikipedia publications managed by volunteer contributors to the website included the podcast The Wikipedia Weekly and newsletter The Wikizine.[10][11]
The Signpost publishes stories related to the Wikipedia community, the Wikimedia Foundation, and other Wikipedia-related projects.[2][12][13] The newsletter helps to notify Wikipedia editors about ongoing collaborative projects to improve articles on the site together.[14] The publication is a routine location for centralized notices on recently published academic studies about Wikipedia.[8] The Signpost includes a section called the "Arbitration Report", formerly "The Report on Lengthy Litigation", which details proceedings from Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee.[15]
Readers may choose to receive the newsletter by email or to receive notices of new issues at their user "Talk" page; a third option is to have the latest issue's table of contents displayed on their user page.[16] All the archives are available to read which is a fast way to learn about the history of Wikipedia.[2]
Scholarly analysis
A 2009 article in the peer-reviewed academic journal Sociological Forum characterized The Signpost as an example of a subcommunity within the larger Wikipedia community.[17] The same year, the social movements journal Interface evidenced The Signpost among the "complexity and richness of those organizations" that make up the social strata of mannerisms in which individuals may volunteer their time to the website.[18]
Researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory and Dartmouth College relied upon archives from The Signpost to track Wikipedia editing outages, and presented their findings at the 2011 IEEEIWIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence.[19] In a study of Wikipedia and its reputation in higher education published in 2013 in the journal New Review of Academic Librarianship, researcher Gemma Bayliss regularly reviewed the Twitter feed of The Signpost located with handle @wikisignpost, in order to be certain her scholarship on the website was current.[20]
Reception
The New York Times in 2007 called The Signpost a "mocked-up newspaper" and classed this among evidence that Wikipedia exhibited a retro style and "its own special brand of kitsch".[21] In his 2008 book Wikipedia: The Missing Manual, John Broughton recommended The Signpost as essential reading for aspiring Wikipedia contributors: "If you expect to continue editing at Wikipedia for any length of time, by all means subscribe to the weekly internal newsletter, the Wikipedia Signpost."[16]
The Register's executive editor Andrew Orlowski in a 2016 article described The Signpost as "Wikipedia's own plucky newsletter."[22] Writing about a 2016 incident at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization which supports Wikipedia, the editor-in-chief of Nonprofit Quarterly, Ruth McCambridge, referred to The Signpost and directed her more technically minded readers to its pages "to better understand what was being planned."[23] Torsten Kleinz, writing for German tech portal Heise Online in an article about the same event, similarly said, "When official communications ground to a halt, the Signpost community newsletter jumped into the breach, brought unknown facts to light and initiated an informed discussion."[24]
