Wikipedian Times
This is an obvious copy of WP:SIGN even though it claims not to be. It does very little to help the project, and seems pointless. Also, (and this is only an observation) it has been created by recently returned sockpupeteer Simpsonsfan08, and I also think that something should be discussed before just creating it - oh and who says that the people on there want to be there?

 * Delete. This is a pure content fork of the Signpost and contains no information not covered there. Whether or not the creator is/was a sockpuppeteer is irrelevant, though. —  iride  scent  21:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Precisely why i said what i said. It's probably phrased badly though - all in all it should say that basically it's a new-ish editor, who may need some helpful "guidance".  Blue  Goblin 7even  21:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No, You meant what you said. And who says users want to be mentioned elsewhere. It is a newsletter for the Wikipedians and the whole user namespace. I have no idea how this is a copy of the Signpost. SimpsonsFan08  talk  Sign Here Please and get Award 21:07, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The only differences that I see are that it is "hand-delivered" (because apparently bots can't be trusted and will forget people but a user will never forget) and it has a featured user page of the issue. Also there's Wikipedian Times/About which shows a serious case of WP:OWN: "The only editor and editor-in-chief is SimpsonsFan08." Metros (talk) 21:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Huh!?! The only editor in chief is me, because it was only created a few minutes ago. Do you except us to have 5? 10? 100? SimpsonsFan08  talk  Sign Here Please and get Award 21:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * (e/c) Delete No great harm in it, but it's redundant to the Signpost which deals with user rights. Also, considering Checkuser/Oversight is so rarely granted, it'll be noted in some depth. The reasons and discussions would be more available to the Signpost editors. PeterSymonds (talk)  21:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I can see where this is going so I will tag it for speedy deletion. Delete. However, it is not the signpost. SimpsonsFan08  talk  Sign Here Please and get Award 21:11, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
