question about targeted post sharing
by rubin.happy 13 Apr '14

13 Apr '14

Hello to everybody! We started a large contest of article writing on Russian Wikipedia with prizes and other bonuses from Wikimedia RU. I just wanted to ask, is it possible to share our post [1] in Facebook via Wikipedia page but targeted only to some countries where most of Russian Wikipedia's editors mostly come from? I've seen some conversation about geo-targetting in this list before, so, I just want to know whether it's possible.

FYI: Re-sharing CC Salon in SF
by Tilman Bayer 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Creative Commons asked if we could help to promote this free culture event they are holding tomorrow in San Francisco: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/42332 . It's not directly directly about Wikimedia-related topics, more about free culture in general, but e.g. Kat Walsh already sent a notice about it to the Wikimedia-SF<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-sf/2014-March/001063.html> list a while ago, and previous editions of this series saw quite a bit<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/San_Francisco_Salon>of Wikimedia involvement. Jay and I discussed it and we think it's OK to re-share the event page<https://www.facebook.com/events/236564669862509/>on Facebook with the Wikipedia account if it's locally targeted (Facebook does offer city-level targeting in the US). I'm going to do this now targeted with San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley, and also see it a bit as an experiment - eventually we could offer to do city- or state-targeted posts to organizers of Wikipedia meetups (at least in the US), in addition to the existing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Geonotice . -- Tilman Bayer Senior Operations Analyst (Movement Communications) Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB

Proposed SM linking third-party blog post about Wikipedia and language diverstiy
by Tilman Bayer 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hi, I think we should draw attention to this third-party blog post which highlights the fact that Wikipedia is consider to be the most multilingual website (not news per se - this guy has published the "Web Globalization Report Card" data behind that chart for years, in 2008 WP was #2 behind Google - but nice to see it clearly described that way): *T (@wikipedia) /FB/G+: "Wikipedia represents (for now) the high-water mark for linguistic diversity on a website." http://www.globalbydesign.com/2014/04/07/wikipedia-and-the-internet-languag… #l10n Normally I would go for a retweet, but the tweets I saw were burying the lede somewhat; I think this quote should work better. -- Tilman Bayer Senior Operations Analyst (Movement Communications) Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB
