July has ended and a new Signpost issue is out – complete with an Election
Guide that includes op-eds by all six shortlisted candidates for the WMF
Board, and candidates' answers to community questions on the associated
talk pages.
There's also detailed coverage of the recent hubbub surrounding the English
Wikipedia's "Recession" article (see "In the Media" and
"Op-Ed") and the
Russian government's new action against Wikipedia (see "In the Media" and
"News and Notes"), along with other news such as Facebook's
Wikipedia-related AI initiatives, the great Chinese history hoax and Wikipedia
articles' alleged impact on court decisions (see "In the Media"). Enjoy!
