'A Culture of Kindness' on the Wikimedia Blog
by Fabrice Florin 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

Hi guys, Tilman has published my post on ‘A Culture of Kindness’ on the blog, just in time for the holidays: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/12/23/a-culture-of-kindness/ Here are some social media ideas for this story: Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia) * A Culture of Kindness: Can we improve Wikipedia by being nicer to each other? (link) * A Culture of Kindness: Can we improve Wikipedia by being nicer to each other? Civility tips by @fabriceflorin (link) * A Culture of Kindness: how ‘being nice to each other’ can help improve Wikipedia -- and build more trust. (link) * How can we improve Wikipedia? "Be kind to each other", says @jimmy_wales (link) (That last one is a bit of a stretch, but Jimmy's call for kindness is indeed featured in the second photo on the post, which could be used as a tweet picture) Facebook/Google+ * A Culture of Kindness: Can we improve Wikipedia by being nicer to each other? Community members share ideas to bring more trust and civility in our movement. Happy holidays! (link) (We could also tie in more with the holiday spirit of giving, if someone feels inclined to write some pithy copy along those lines. :) Please let us know if you have any comments, questions or suggestions. Many thanks to Tilman for being such a great coach and for getting this piece out in time for the holidays ... Happy holidays, everyone!
