Hatnote

Unless it's a case where we apply WP:PRIMARYTOPIC to drop the year, hatnotes aren't needed. Sorry if I sound harsh, it's one of those things that just drive me nuts and make me sound like an angry grandpa. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:18, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

No problem! I just wasn't aware about that, but thanks for clearing it up. :) CycloneYoris (talk) 08:34, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

How admin would-bes run the gauntlet.

In the media: Blackouts in Europe; Wikipedia and capitalists; WMF Jet Set

One secret cabal that watches out for conspiracy theories, and another one out to stymie venture capitalists?

And more: a new user group for editing code, Women in Red, and arbitrator articles.

Arbitration report: Status quo processes retained in two disputes

We don't have "state agents" in a political debate, but couldn't talk about it if there were.

Traffic report: Soccer, football, call it what you like – that and summer movies leave room for little else

Finding the mathematician and Supreme Court nominee in this list is like playing Where's Waldo?.

Depictions of July events in several countries.

Get over it!

The Signpost: 30 August 2018

From the editor: Today's young adults don't know a world without Wikipedia

Keep straight on – there are trolls in the hedgerows.

Interview: 2018 Wikimedian of the Year, Farkhad Fatkullin

"Imagine a world in which every single human being is a Wikimedian. That's my commitment!"

News and notes: Flying high; low practice from Wikipedia 'cleansing' agency; where do our donations go? RfA sees a new trend

WMF pays possible Orangemoody ring for user research, and ditches MediaWiki for publishing its own blog. Knife-edge closures at RfA.

In the media: Quicksilver AI writes articles

But unfortunately its output is incompatible with open licensing.

Discussion report: Drafting an interface administrator policy

Plus: Simple English Wikipedia stays open, a discussion on draft header templates, bias blind spot by admins offered cash?

Featured content: Featured content selected by the community

Astronauts named Armstrong, babes of the Brits, Cortinarius caperatus and all that.

Special report: Wikimania 2018

"Bridging knowledge gaps, the ubuntu way forward".

Traffic report: Aretha dies – getting just 2,000 short of 5 million hits

Very high and very low hits; love and loss.

Technology report: Technical enhancements and a request to prioritize upcoming work

Citation bot and mapframe enhancements; new licenses for Data space; possible hiccup on 12 September; per-user page, namespace, and upload blocking; and miscellaneous new bots and tools.

Gallery: Leapfrog, historic Thai cave, and a rhythmic beat

Some of the best pictures of 2017.

Recent research: Wehrmacht on Wikipedia, neural networks writing biographies

Readers prefer the AI's version 40% of the time – but it still suffers from hallucinations.

Humour: Signpost editor censors herself

Nothing funny about it.

Essay: Principle of Some Astonishment

Remind you of any Wikipedia articles?

From the archives: Playing with Wikipedia words

The Wikipedia Plays.

Dissipation date for Olivia

I undid your edit at Hurricane Olivia (2018) because the remnants clearly have not dissipated. Additionally some models indicate possible redevelopment. Figfires^{Send me a message!} 15:03, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

No worries, I thought the remnants had dissipated already, should've checked the models before. CycloneYoris (talk) 21:56, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

User talk:Northatlantic320

Re your edits at User talk:Northatlantic320, please remember that the user is allowed to blank the warning, and it is taken as meaning that he has read them, and you should not reinstate the warning that he has deleted, see WP:BLANKING. --David Biddulph (talk) 18:29, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

I only reinstated the warning once, so I don’t understand why you’re posting this on my talk page if I didn’t do anything wrong. CycloneYoris (talk) 18:41, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

David is saying that you shouldn't have reinstated it at all. There is almost never a good reason to revert any edit a user makes to their own talk page. – Joe (talk) 20:38, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

But this user is not heeding the warnings that he is being given, so why shouldn't I insist on warning him about his disruptive behavior? He was reverting some corrections I was making to the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season article without explaining why, and he was also deleting what other users were editing as well. CycloneYoris (talk) 21:10, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

We weren't objecting to your initial warning, but to your reinstatement of the warning after he'd read and deleted it. He has made no further edits to that or any other article in question since your initial warning to him. --David Biddulph (talk) 21:27, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Well, I wasn't aware that warnings couldn't be reinstated, but thanks for letting me know. CycloneYoris (talk) 21:51, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

The Signpost: 1 October 2018

From the editor: Is this the new normal?

We keep on publishing as long as you keep on reading.

Wikipedia dodges a bullet in Brussels... maybe.

In the media: Knowledge under fire

Can Wikipedians help save the world's knowledge and shine a light on current events?

Discussion report: Interface Admin policy proposal, part 2

Plus: signatures, shortcuts, and reliable sources.

Arbitration report: A quiet month for Arbcom

No valid new requests for arbitration, no new cases.

Technology report: Paying attention to your mobile

Plus the latest scripts, bots, and tech news.

Gallery: A pat on the back

A pictorial ode to the end of summer.

Blog: After a catastrophic fire at the National Museum of Brazil, a drive to preserve what knowledge remains
