Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-11-19/Discussion report

Featured content: Wikipedia hit by the Streisand effect (2,836 bytes · 💬)

  • Where is the discussion of Wikipedia being "hit by the Streisand effect?"Edison (talk) 04:23, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia was not literally hit "hit by the Streisand effect", but something related to the Streisand effect was featured on Wikipedia. I'd rather not go into Gilbatrarpedia stuff in FC — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:29, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Under Streisand Effect in Featured Pictures, doesn't "phenomena" have to be "phenomenon" as it's discussing only one thing? - a boat that can float! (watch me float!) 12:16, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Yeah, that's right. Fixed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:27, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

News and notes: FDC's financial muscle kicks in (1,321 bytes · 💬)

  • Shouldn't currently in the throws of a ... be currently in the throes of a ..., or is the spelling a US/Aus/Can/Indian etc variant of UK spelling? - Sitush (talk) 10:02, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
  • For context (scale), it might be useful to indicate what portion of the total WMF budget these FDC allocations represent. (These are big numbers, and one may recall a time, not so long ago, when $10M was more than the Foundation's total budget.) ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:20, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Technology report: Structural reorganisation "not a done deal" (1,187 bytes · 💬)

  • Thanks to the editor for the note about retiring a feature for which there are not resources to adequately manage. I appreciate the managing staff's efforts to maintain quality within the newspaper's scope. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:33, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
    • Sure, you're right, "quality" (maybe one day also in the editor's own pieces?). --Nemo 08:30, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
  • For those who missed the discussion on the poll: Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-11-12/Technology report (I also added some links pointing to discussions somebody there was looking for). --Nemo 08:30, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

@Mabeenot, thanks for one more piece of the puzzle. Great coverage - keep it up. Ottawahitech (talk) 20:48, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
