I'll take it a bit easy for the next issue and do the Gallery, as I want commit my time to creating a few more mainspace articles, as my two previous pieces consumed all of my 'Wikipedia-time'. The Trump piece was last-minute because I wasn't anticipating an assassination attempt, and the Twitter one was rushed since the move was relisted, and I wanted to use that headline.

Hello everyone! Just so you know, I've moved Bri's report on the Portland case to the top of the page, since this "part 2" might be worth a full blurb, as well. Unfortunately, I won't be able to write any of those this time, due to personal time constraints and total unfamiliarity with the subject; however, I did take care of the whole "In brief" section! By the way, I apologize for being basically "ghost-like" in the last few months: aside of focusing on other tasks on Wikipedia, I also had (and I still have) to prioritize my real-life schedule, and it was likely the right choice. I hope I'll manage to contribute more in the last quarter of this year! Oltrepier (talk) 10:51, 27 August 2024 (UTC) Separately, it might be the case that Clovermoss wasn't actually interviewed for that local media piece, so we may want to change wording. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:34, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
3 things @Clovermoss, Oltrepier, Pine, HaeB, and JPxG:
@Smallbones: By the way, I've just posted a blurb that incorporates both the New Yorker article and the El País one (it hasn't been mentioned before), hopefully it's good enough. Apologies in advance for any linguistic or technical blunders!
@Bri: On a side note, I wonder if we could ask AI to create a Jumanji-inspired pic for that article, but I'm afraid the outcome could be terrifying... Oltrepier (talk) 09:21, 29 August 2024 (UTC) I can't remember seeing a piece of WP news-coverage I thought was more stupid than this one:Wikipedia users mind-blown after finding hidden function they never knew about. I checked 3 times, it's not The Onion. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:05, 30 August 2024 (UTC) @Red-tailed hawk, Smallbones, and JPxG: I just wanted to note that the blurb involving the latest updates on the Portland case (suggested by Bri) still need to be expanded, should anybody wish/be able to do so! Like I said, I can't do it myself, because I'm just not familiar enough with the subject... Oltrepier (talk) 20:59, 1 September 2024 (UTC) |

As usual, we are preparing this regular survey on recent academic research about Wikipedia, doubling as the Wikimedia Research Newsletter (now in its fourteenth year). Help is welcome to review or summarize the many interesting items listed here, as are suggestions of other new research papers that haven't been covered yet.

I plan to eventually finish writing User:Clovermoss/Wikimania 2024. A snazzier title would probably be something like "what it's like to be Wikimedian of the Year". It's been awhile since I've written anything for the Signpost but I figured this would probably be welcome once I'm actually done writing the thing. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 22:20, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
@Clovermoss: Hi, how is the article shaping up? Don't forget we can give you support to complete it and double-check it, if needed! : ) Oltrepier (talk) 10:54, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
@JPxG, Svampesky, and Clovermoss: By the way, where should we place this article? I think it would be a nice feature for the "Serendipity" section! Oltrepier (talk) 20:36, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

The article is about Wikimania "last month" and has a day-by-day account of events (day 1, day 2, etc.) but never mentions the actual dates. In fact I can't find the word "August" in the article. Is this intentional? ☆ Bri (talk) 22:28, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
