Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2015-03-18/From the editor

Dear readers,

We announce with sadness and gratitude that Signpost publication and newsroom manager will be stepping back to focus on other Wikipedia and Wikimedia-related endeavors. Especially during our recent editorial transition, it was Pine who facilitated stability, particularly in the publication process.

Pine's willingness to help shepherd the newspaper through its time of transition was a strong contributing factor to our agreement to come on as co-editors-in chief. His conscientious commitment to the newspaper over the past several years as manifested through technical skills in publishing the newspaper, organizational skills in managing the newsroom, and writing skills in crafting some of our best coverage is laudable, and we hope you will join us in thanking him for that.

Readers will recall the breathtaking gallery he compiled around Valentine's Day, and his leadership in creating and managing the survey of readers we conducted in February ... these examples are just from the past month. His reputation of excellence in Wikipedia journalism precedes him, and we wish him all the best as he pursues other interests on Wikipedia.

Sincerely,

– Go Phightins! and Gamaliel
