This is the only part of the Wikipedia Signpost that I consistently read, and I've been thinking for some time: Perhaps they ought to also mention the good articles which have been promoted and demoted in the past week. It is about Features and admins, but I think it would be even better and much more thorough if Wikipedia's online paper did a section on Features, goods and admins instead.
Also, in the "Featured Pages" section, it always mentions the amount of recent promotions with articles, lists, topics and portals. However, in the "Former Featured Pages" section, it mentions only former featured articles, lists and topics. Surely a featured portal can fall out of quality as can the others; I think there should be a line mentioning which featured portals, if any, were demoted in a week. Plus, in the "Featured media" section, it continually mentions which, if any, audio files and pictures were promoted to Featured Status. However, while it mentions which pictures if any were demoted, it does not do so for the sounds. Again, I believe something ought to be done about this.
Anyway, I'm not sure if this is the exact appropriate place to leave suggestions for improving the "Features and Admins" department in general, but the department issue for September 21st, 2009 asks for comments, and this is the only comment I have to offer. I hope it helps. Mess around with the guy in shades all you like - don't mess around with the girl in gloves! (talk) 07:01, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
