Hi, On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 5:18 PM, Quim Gil <qgil(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: > Just a note to communicate that Rachel and Chip have been invited to become > managers of the MediaWiki Google+ page.

On Tuesday, I also gave Rachel access to the MediaWiki page on Facebook. Rachel and Chip: Welcome :) If you're planning to post content from these social media accounts, I recommend that you subscribe to the social-media mailing list, used for coordination while posting from official accounts (like Wikipedia, Wikimedia and MediaWiki): https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/social-media We use a four-eye principle principle when it comes from posting from official accounts: due to the high number of followers, we send proposed postings to the list, and send them only after another member of the team has approved them (or "LGTMed" them, for "Looks good to me"). Whenever possible, we also post them at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Social_media/Calendar and do the review there. Let me or the list know if you have any questions :) -- Guillaume Paumier Technical Communications Manager — Wikimedia Foundation
