:::{{ping|Joe Roe}} [[Wikipedia:Database reports/WikiProject watchers]] is one measure of the biggest. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Contents]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam]] are not so well known. Besides the ones you named,[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics]], and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies]] have their influence.
::Among all of these, [[:d:Wikidata:WikiProject Video games]] is the only one to have major participation and organization in Wikidata. Medicine, LGBT+, and math get a lot of data administrative questions without major content creation, and for military and women in red it is the reverse with a lot of Wikidata content creation but less administrative development.

Outreach by me. The content appears solid, though it may benefit from some additional fleshing out and copyediting to align with The Signpost's style.

:@[[User:HouseBlaster|HouseBlaster]], I think it would be best to include Doug's response in the report to provide context for the reader. However, this is ''your'' debrief. It currently sits in my sandbox, so I'll add it to the report if you're okay with it.

::@[[User:HouseBlaster|HouseBlaster]], I also think it would be best if it was added by a copyeditor and not by yourself. So I'll add it to the report if you approve.

*I'm 99% sure this now qualifies as a 'debriefing' as it is an established published 'thing', as opposed to someone giving a 'debrief' to a smaller group of people in their userspace. As such, I've changed the title to 'HouseBlaster's RfA debriefing'. This needs to be checked.

A lot of the exact same things to go though. I didn't name the editor who closed the discussion as move to 'X (social network)' in the body, as I don't usually name editors who do things that might be seen as 'wrong' by people who are unfamiliar with [[WP:AGF]]. I still linked to the discussions though, so it isn't that hard to find out. In this case, the closer did seem to defend their decision, but I've erred with caution and excluded the name.

*'''Discussion''':<br/> In 2024, the term of four Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end. The Board invites the Wikimedia movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. This year, 12 candidates from different backgrounds and experiences are running for the seats. In order for Wikimedians to learn more about the candidates and their contributions, would you be open to including [[User:MPossoupe_(WMF)/Signpost_draft|this short piece]] in the next Signpost issue? Ping [[User:JPxG|JPxG]]. If you have any questions, please let me know. Best regards [[User:MPossoupe (WMF)|MPossoupe (WMF)]] ([[User talk:MPossoupe (WMF)|talk]]) 07:36, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
:Definitely something we should cover. Made minor changes, mostly adding links to the BoT/election pages, and moved it into the next issue.  <span style="font-variant:small-caps; whitespace:nowrap;">[[User:Headbomb|Headbomb]] {[[User talk:Headbomb|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Headbomb|c]] · [[WP:PHYS|p]] · [[WP:WBOOKS|b]]}</span> 10:06, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

::'''Support''' to publication. Gallery and opinion are both occupied for the next issue, so Serendipity seems like a fit, per [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2024-09-04/Serendipity|Clovermoss' piece]]. The headline {{tq|What it was like to be a Wikipedian at the 2024 Paralympics}} might be better suited, {{tq|Summer}} seems redundant.
