Ruins in Charleston, South Carolina, from Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign by George N. Barnard, restored by Adam Cuerden, one of our new featured pictures.
This Signpost "Featured content" report covers material promoted from 16 to 31 May.
Not much to say this week. I rushed it a bit, but, y'know. One does what one can. From past experience, if a featured content item isn't published, it's just spiked; none of the content in it ever gets mentioned in the Signpost and the next issue just carries on with the next batch of content.[1]
Probably best to avoid that.
