• Just a note on the summary, it’s the Mayor of London who’s launched the editathon, not the Lord Mayor of London. — Arwel Parry (talk) 06:48, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
  • Thanks, fixed above. Widefox; talk 10:32, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
• If the "From the editor" section, which is the very first one on the front page, is supposed to be a hook to get readers interested in reading, it should have links to the actual articles. As a severely confusing example, it says something about "Admin Ship", but there isn't even that term anywhere else in the front page. DMacks (talk) 10:40, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
• I rather think the word should be "foundering" rather than "floundering" - that is SEW may be sinking but not "thrashing about." Collect (talk) 12:39, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

There is no problem with the admin ship. We don't need to worry about admins leaving and those remaining making it a worse time for the contributors remaining. We need to focus more, spend more, and talk more about how too many males edit wikipedia and spend more energy on getting more women involved. We don't need to worry about editors slowly leaving, but we do need to worry bout overrepresentaiton of the interests of those editors that volunteered in the past. /s Nergaal (talk) 18:34, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
