From the editor

The Admin Ship is still barely afloat, while a Foundation project risks sinking

A Wiki not so Simple, a mayor motivating an editathon, a Marshall Plan, and a Wikimania under a cloud of criticism

Special report

NPR and AfC – The Marshall Plan: an engagement and a marriage?

Further developments on New Page Review and Articles for Creation work sharing

Op-ed

What do admins do?

Admins volunteer to be abused – or so it seems

Opinion

Google isn't responsible for Wikipedia's mistakes

So it shouldn't get credit for our work, either.

News and notes

Money, milestones, and Wikimania

Major grants announced, a new milestone for Afrikaans Wikipedia, a new WMF technical engagement team, an effort to start up a new library, two new admins – or maybe three fewer depending on your math.

In the media

Much wikilove from the Mayor of London, less from Paekākāriki or a certain candidate for U.S. Congress

Several online battles are juxtaposed with stories about cooperation and good deeds, Arbcom hovering over it all; notwithstanding, a good action movie script is not necessarily found here.

Discussion report

Deletion, page moves, and an update to the main page

Community discussions include style updates to project-wide icons and the main page, procedural questions on royal names and jettisoning unsuitable drafts, and deeper questions of compliance with European privacy laws and the perennial issue of shrinking admin corps.

Featured content

New promotions

Enjoy the superb content

Arbitration report

WWII, UK politics, and a user deCrat'ed

Traffic report

Endgame
