Proposed social media for our post
by LiAnna Davis 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Obviously this is on our blog rather than the WMF blog, but I think it's a pretty cool story: one of our student editors wrote the ENWP article about HIV/AIDS in Malawi for class last term, and then spent this summer working in a HIV/AIDS clinic in Malawi, where she used what she learned in researching the article. I think this might be interesting to the general @Wikipedia audience! Feel free to just use what we posted here: https://www.facebook.com/WikiEducationFoundation/posts/263223340547084 https://twitter.com/WikiEducation/status/489439104245825536 :) LiAnna -- LiAnna Davis Head of Communications and External Relations Wiki Education Foundation +1-415-770-1061 www.wikiedu.org *Please note my new email address and update your contacts accordingly: lianna(a)wikiedu.org <lianna(a)wikiedu.org>*

Please feel free to comment on this! Would love to hear other views. We usually avoid these so as to stay reasonably close to the privacy expectations people have from the wikis. (I'm not too familiar with ow.ly's capacities, but if they are similar to bit.ly, I could very well imagine this to be of practical relevance here, as in "oh look, that one person we know from Madagascar clicked on our link too".) For tracking click numbers only, Twitter's own stats features should be sufficient; we could share that number with you in this case.

(Apparently the first attempt failed. Sorry if you see this message twice!) I didn't see this mentioned lately, so I thought I could put this link here: https://analytics.twitter.com/ and the related article https://blog.twitter.com/2014/new-tweet-activity-dashboard-offers-richer-an… (so now we should be able to tell better how well Wiki* tweets performed).

Hi, Twitter: You know Python and want to contribute to Wikipedia? Get involved in Pywikibot, a tool to make automated edits: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/10/pywikibot-will-have-its-next-bug-tria… (For twitter, emphasis on the bug triage itself will be done in another tweet closer to the actual date) Facebook/Google+: If you know Python and would like to contribute to Wikipedia and its sister sites, you can get involved in Pywikibot, a set of scripts used to make (semi-)automated edits. Their next "bug triage" session is coming up in a couple weeks and will be a great opportunity to get started. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/10/pywikibot-will-have-its-next-bug-tria… -- Guillaume Paumier
