The Signpost: 01 October 2014

From the editor: The Signpost needs your help

Contributing to the Signpost can be one of the most rewarding things an editor can do.

Dispatches: Let's get serious about plagiarism

This article was first published in the Signpost in 2009. Written by several long-standing editors, including the late Adrianne Wadewitz, the article was subjected to extensive commentary and ultimately influenced the English Wikipedia's plagiarism guideline. With recent debates about close paraphrasing vis-à-vis plagiarism, we feel that this dispatch retains its relevance and deserves a second airing.

News and notes: Wikipedia article published in peer-reviewed journal; Wikipedia in education

The argument on Wikipedia over the benefits of crowdsourcing versus the primacy of "expert" contributors stretches back to co-founder Larry Sanger's break with the project to start the alternative Citizendium.

WikiProject report: Animals, farms, forests, USDA? It must be WikiProject Agriculture

This week, the Signpost went down to the farm to have a look at the work of WikiProject Agriculture, which has been in existence since 2007 and has a scope covering crop production, livestock management, aquaculture, dairy farming and forest management.

Traffic report: Shanah Tovah

Jews wished each other Shanah Tovah ("Good year") this week as Rosh Hashanah was our most popular article. It was also a week not dominated by heavy news and tragedies, so aside from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (#2, sixth week in the Top 10), our popular article list runs the gamut of current events including new television series Gotham (#3), the 2014 Asian Games (#4), and Reddit-fueled popularity for German director Uwe Boll (#7).

Featured content: Brothers at War

As the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the American Civil War draws to a close, the race to improve content continues. The Battle of Franklin, fought on November 30, 1864, will, quite appropriately, be Picture of the Day for November 30, 2014, its 150th anniversary. If you want to help commemorate the American Civil War, why not help out at the Military History WikiProject's Operation Brothers at War. Or help out with the World War I centennial, just starting up, Operation Great War Centennial.

The Signpost: 08 October 2014

In the media: Opposition research firm blocked; Australian bushfires

Also, Wikimedia Norge and Nobel Peace Center edit-a-thon

Featured content: From a wordless novel to a coat of arms via New York City

Traffic report: Panic and denial

The first case of the Ebola virus on US shores sent people into a tizzy, rushing to their keyboards to try and learn what they could.

Technology report: HHVM is the greatest thing since sliced bread

No seriously, it is.

The Signpost: 15 October 2014

Op-ed: Ships—sexist or sexy?

Why does Wikipedia still use the gendered pronouns "she" and "her" for ships?

In the media: College player falsely linked to sports scandal by Wikipedia; the Nobel Prizes

Ben Koo of the sports blog Awful Announcing investigated how player Joe Streater's name became involved in recent years with a historic sports scandal.

The Banning Policy case was closed on 12 October. Arbcom affirmed that users have "considerable leeway" in terms of how their talk pages are managed.

In the media: Wikipedia a trusted source on Ebola; Wikipedia study labeled government waste; football biography goes viral

Maps tagathon: Find 10,000 digitised maps this weekend

Traffic report: Ebola, Ultron, and Creepy Articles

Ebola virus disease leads the Report for the fourth straight week. The rest of the list is primarily a mix of pop culture topics, including movie Avengers: Age of Ultron (#4) whose trailer was leaked early, and the death of Oscar de la Renta (#7). A BuzzFeed article on creepy Wikipedia articles, no doubt well-timed with Halloween (#9) around the corner, was responsible for three articles in the Top 25, including June and Jennifer Gibbons (#10), Taman Shud Case (#17), Joyce Vincent (#25). And the internet-run-amok controversy of Gamergate cracked the Top 25 for the first time at #19.
