- @2ReinreB2 and DanielPenfield: The Wikiproject Report isn't running at the moment, so unfortunately your messages can't be aired. You could try asking the author of a different report. Rcsprinter123 (tell) 13:09, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

- Happy to work under the same arrangement as above! The blog and Signpost have mostly different audiences, so I don't think it'll hurt one or the other if we both publish. Thanks, 3family6. Ed Erhart (WMF) (talk) 21:37, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
