Hi All,
Our Android app's featured placement
<https://play.google.com/store/recommended?sp=CAEwAFopCiNwcm9tb3Rpb25fMzAwMD…>
in
the "New and Updated Apps" section went live in the Google Play store
today! This is a top promotion so it will be very interesting to see how it
performs during the next 7 days.
Special thanks to Dmitry Brant and the Android development team for all
their hard work in updating the app!
Best,
Sheree

Hello everyone,
It is Guy Fawkes' Night (in the UK at least) and here is some proposed
social media.
I figure we can bank on the holiday and the popularity of V for Vendetta.
Included the Guy Fawkes Night article and–what I think is more
interesting–the Guy Fawkes mask article, describing the cultural
significance of the GF mask in contemporary anti-establishment protests.
t/f: Remember, remember the Fifth of November...
Guy Fawkes Night, a night of bonfires, fireworks–and often protest:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night
F: Since the release in 2006 of the film V for Vendetta, the use of
stylized "Guy Fawkes" masks, with moustache and pointed beard, has become
widespread internationally among groups protesting against politicians,
banks and financial institutions. The masks both conceal the identity and
protect the face of individuals and demonstrate their commitment to a
shared cause.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_mask
F: After appearing in Internet forums, the mask became a well-known symbol
for the online hacktivist group Anonymous, used in Project Chanology, the
Occupy movement, and other anti-government and anti-establishment protests
around the world.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_mask
F: From failed plot to best-selling comic book to blockbuster film to the
streets nation capitals, this is the centuries-long history of the Guy
Fawkes mask.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_mask
F:What's behind the mask: from V for Vendetta to Anonymous to the Occupy
movement, this is the extraordinary history of Guy Fawkes and an iconic
mask.

Hi Jeff (switching topic back to the thread about TAFI),
Coin945 (who posted these suggestions) is now subscribed to this list
and can thus answer your question directly. But I think the matter was
simply that the drafts had been copied over from Wikipedia to Meta
without adjusting links, e.g. the first one was intended to link to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_horror instead of
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comedy_horror&action=edit&redl…
.

Born on this day in 1929 in Bengaluru, India, Shakuntala Devi, known as the
"human computer." In 1980, she correctly multiplied two 13-digit numbers in
only 28 seconds. She also wrote what is considered the first study of
homosexuality in India, a compassionate book now considered pioneering.

Adventurer Sarah Outen has just completed a round-the-world rip under
her own power.
She recorded her voice for Wikipedia and I've tweeted about this:

Team @BBCNews mispronounce @sarahouten's name. If only
they'd listened to her Wikipedia voice recording: http://bit.ly/1Wtx7ft
