WP Likes on FB = # of .en WP articles

by Victor Grigas

WP Likes on FB = # of .en WP articles Not precisely, but I thought I'd point it out. Might make a good tweet. Like: Our likes on Facebook almost equals the total number of English-language Wikipedia articles. Which article are you? -- *Victor Grigas* Storyteller <http://youtu.be/ci0Pihl2zXY> Wikimedia Foundation vgrigas(a)wikimedia.org https://donate.wikimedia.org/

Thanking Wikipedia editors for covering local politics in Togo: Rena Takiguchi

by Fabrice Florin

Hi guys, We just published this new blog post on a Japanese volunteer’s gratitude for Wikipedia’s local coverage of the 2010 presidential election in Togo: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/01/30/thanking-wikipedia-editors/ Thanks to Victor and Yoona for preparing this story! We’ve proposed below some social media messaging ideas. Please discuss and tweak as needed! Twitter: "I have no idea who in the world wrote this article but am very thankful to them" [Link] Who wrote the article 'Togolese presidential election, 2010'? Rena Takiguchi in Japan wants to thank them [Link] Facebook/Google+: Japanese supporter Rena Takiguchi thanks Wikipedia editors for covering local politics in Togo. She learned more about the 2010 Togolese presidential election on Wikipedia than from other sources. [Link] Rena Takiguchi, a native of Japan, says that she would have been consumed with worry for her friends in Togo, if it were not for the Wikipedia article about the Togolese presidential election in 2010. She learned more about this event on Wikipedia than from other sources. [Link] I think it’s wonderful that Wikipedia can help users keep track of local politics in remote locations like Togo.

by Michael Guss

Hi everyone. We should RT this - its an article out of Swansea University about the first ever Wikipedia Edit-a-thon in Wales with the topic - "Women and Justice". I think now that we are back to bringing these stories from around the world to our followers, I think original copy for F/g would be appropriate. But for now, let's RT: https://twitter.com/SwanseaUni/status/560839116745871360 http://www.swansea.ac.uk/media-centre/latest-news/firsteverwikipediaedit-a-… -- Michael Guss Research Analyst Wikimediafoundation.org mguss(a)wikimedia.org
