What we've left behind, and where we want to go next
As a quick note for the editors, the main goals of each of us while adding up to this article should be: one, reflect on a positive change, a happy story or a personal achievement on-wiki we've been particularly proud of in 2024; two, highlight our favorite contributions to the Signpost (if we had to choose) also in 2024; three, what we expect to happen in 2025, both for this newspaper and Wikipedia as a whole, or maybe even in the real world!

[edit]I'm happy that we've been able to keep The Signpost running on a more-or-less continual basis throughout 2024, marked by 18 issues. There were some rough patches in the past, including the 2017 shutdown of the whole affair, occasional publishing hiccups since then, and even now Signpost staff's feathers can get ruffled from difficult interactions with each other or with the readership community. It feels like we are back on a solid footing for the future and have even onboarded some new regular contributors in 2024.
My favorite contribution may have to be the successful outcome of the administrator elections experiment, which maybe-just-maybe was influenced by a number of items I've written in The Signpost highlighting the seriousness of the decline in the number of active administrators. – B

[edit]My favorite contribution to The Signpost is Are Luddaites defending the English Wikipedia?, written with Adam Cuerden. Our report was mentioned by a media organization.
Reading the comment sections of published Signpost reports, including those I've written, I've noticed concerns about a lack of neutrality in reporting. Moving forward, I aim to focus on maintaining neutrality in its coverage.
