Podcast WikiJabber
Hi Signpost, I started the English language Wikipedia related podcast WikiJabber (https://wikijabber.org, meta:WikiJabber). It has the same concept as my German language podcast WikiStammtisch (https:wikistammtisch.de, de:Wikipedia:WikiStammtisch): I talk with one or sometimes some people about Wikipedia, Life and all the rest. I would appriciate, if some people would join WikiJabber and if a lot of people would start to listen to it. --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 09:49, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks Sebastian, will mention in the next issue. Is there any chance we could get some transcripts to republish in the Signpost? (perhaps just some excerpts, if its too much trouble to do full episodes) - Evad37 [talk] 05:16, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Evad37: the automatic transcript is a mess, as you can see here. There is a short summary for each episode at meta:WikiJabber. --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 06:24, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
12 year old error on Wikipedia
Something for news and notes a report on an error in Wikipedia ϢereSpielChequers 15:05, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
- I've put a note on the talk page of this article in German Wikipedia (the English article does not use the quote). - kosboot (talk) 15:39, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
ACTRIAL
ACTRIAL goes live on 14 September. It would be good if a article could be written about it— RADICAL SODA(FORCE)TM 05:34, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- See WP:ACTRIAL and meta:Reasearch:ACTRIAL. Kaldari (talk) 17:03, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks @Forceradical and Kaldari:. I've put a short piece in the next issue's News and notes. I don't think we need much more until we get some results in from the trial. - Evad37 [talk] 02:46, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
