Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic.
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.
Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.

Please don't remove templates from a Featured Article. You may believe it is useless, but that doesn't mean other users find it so, and no one at the FAC review deemed it useless, either. As an administrator, you should know that you should raise any queries you may have on the respective article talk page rather than remove content willy-nilly. — Calvin999 08:13, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello sir, Please review this Draft article DJ Kentalky. It was deleted in (July 2016) because of the Census comment see DJ Kentalky. This deletion discussion proves that Wikipedia Editors are no longer reading the wikipedia policy according to This AFD Sentence. The subject article DJ Kentalky Meets WP:MUSICBIO 1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11. This reliable source [Vanguard] also passes WP:GNG and Verifiability because its a newspaper site according to what i read. Have a nice dayBlaze8724 (talk) 23:32, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
