I'd like to highlight some of the content in this edition:

* There's a deep look into the history and value of the GA Cup, a longstanding contest on the English Wikipedia designed to reduce the backlog of "Good Article" nominations. Fascinating, data driven research by [[User:Wugapodes]], highly recommended. * An op-ed from Lodewijk Gelauff explores fundraising data transparency, a much-discussed topic on this list. This one has sparked extensive discussion, not only on Wikipedia but (separately) on the Wikipedia Weekly Facebook group. As a reminder, please consider making any comments on the Wikipedia page so they will be visible to all. * If you haven't heard enough about the U.S. presidential election, never fear! "In the media" collects several themes in media coverage that relate to Wikimedia, and the "Traffic report," as always, provides insight into recent, politics-heavy readership. * If you haven't seen them, you'll enjoy the winning photos from Wiki Loves Earth (republished from the Wikimedia blog), and the country-level nominees from Wiki Loves Monuments.
