• WTF is going on in the bit about St Cyprian's Church in the Featured Pictures section?--ukexpat (talk) 21:19, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Humor. # - ( because 38 entries FP are too many. It said for quite while: ^{Sanctuary of St Cyprian's Church, Nave of St Cyprian's Church, Ceiling of St Cyprian's Church, Rood screen of St Cyprian's Church (created by [[ ]], restored by [[User: | ]], [[ |nominated]] by [[User: | ]]) - well, there is no such church, all is faked.} Hafspajen (talk) 22:17, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Yeah. I saw that joke during the copyedit, and ran with it. I think there's another similar joke in here somewhere where a sentence got left unfinished. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:09, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• How do you select the featured articles to be shown here? You claim that two articles have been promoted this week, but there is at least a third one, Shepseskare, which became featured the 28th of February. I was kind of expecting to see it in the new Signpost.... Iry-Hor (talk) 21:51, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

• The note at the top of the page indicates this edition includes promotions during the period 15 to 21 February. SagaciousPhil - Chat 22:03, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

• Correct. The Signpost currently shows articles and other content featured two weeks prior. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:41, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• My apologies! Iry-Hor (talk) 08:12, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• It's one of those things where we haven't come up with a better phrasing yet. Maybe "last week"? That's mildly more accurate. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:12, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• Well it is not so important, but it is true that until now I thought the articles displayed were those promoted in the week prior to the Signpost and not two weeks prior. Something like "became featured between the 21st of February and the 28th of February" would be more accurate. I feel like the "last week" thing would still have me believe the articles date to the week immediately preceding the Signpost. Iry-Hor (talk) 14:07, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

We do say that, but only under the first image. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 14:45, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• I feel bad now. I have been reading the Signpost regularly for some time but I had never read this one sentence beneath the first image.... Iry-Hor (talk) 15:33, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• Noone does. Thinking I might try bolding it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:39, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• Well it seems that Sagaciousphil did, but then it is not surprising given his username. Iry-Hor (talk) 21:32, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• Wow, nice writeup about my anthology FL! Props to whichever editor knew so much about the fantasy field to put in all those details. --PresN 22:15, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
