So basically, editor of the The Signpost is a job application? Sad. Malleus Fatuorum 23:54, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think you would spend many years contributing to the Signpost & one long year editing it -- a totally underappreciated and demanding job, incidentally -- if you weren't interested in improving movement communications. Similarly, I don't think you would apply for a communications job if you weren't interested in and talented at it. Around here, one's contributions stand or fall on their own merit :) And yes, HaeB, you did a great job as editor and will be greatly missed. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 02:19, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

- So basically, someone does something good and you're disapproving and always finding faults and being cynical? Sad. -- PhantomSteve.alt/talk\[alternative account of Phantomsteve] 06:01, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- I think what Malleus means to say is that this "stepping down" makes the editor position look like a job rather than a volunteer position, though I don't agree with him. I also echo the others in saying that HaeB will be missed. —James (Talk • Contribs) • 4:28pm • 06:28, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- Interesting. That wasn't my take at all.--SPhilbrickT 01:17, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

You will be missed! G'luck. jorgenev 23:55, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- Congratulations HaeB! You've done great work at The Signpost and will continue to do great work at WMF! See you soon =) SarahStierch (talk) 00:08, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for all your hard work! -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:02, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks and congrats. For the work and then the new gig. I like the independance. That is a reason why USNI Proceedings has the success that it does. Also, like the coverage of overall Web 2.0 things, to include Sanger-land and Wikipedia Review. Plus I think of this as a little Asgard-rag (Whewalt would translate)...and then just supplying some of the "did the high school paper" instincts. Like the guys who always turn out (there's always some) to be in the recruit band at boot camp.TCO (reviews needed) 02:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- All the Best wishes, HaeB. You will be definitely missed! -- Tinu Cherian - 05:09, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your work and effort! I've really enjoyed reading The Signpost. eug (talk) 06:58, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- I've learnt a lot from HaeB. He's really impressive. Managing Editor of The Signpost is like FAC, FLC, TFA manager or delegate: a heavy-duty role for which it's appropriate that editors be appointed or take on the "job" via consensus. I guess it might have to be a rotating system, at least initially, if a single person doesn't materialise. But there's always hope. Tony (talk) 15:03, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you HaeB: I have been very favorably impressed by the way The Signpost has developed under your stewardship. I am not surprised that you have been hired away, and it reflects well on your new employer. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for all your contributions to the signpost. --J36miles (talk) 21:54, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. You missed mentioning Telugu Wikipedia as the first non english language wikipedia to start a newsletter called TewikiVartha (recently in its 6th issue) inspired by Signpost. Best wishes for your new role.-- Arjunaraoc 04:19, 13 July 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arjunaraoc (talk • contribs)
