Hello everyone,
Netha Hussain is an incredible Wikimedian who writes Wikipedia articles in
English and Malayalam about healthcare, literature, and women; a pilot
volunteer for WikiWomen's Collaborative; she's organized events that
brought many active contributors to Wikipedia and its sister projects,
including a series in India during Women's History Month that brought 800+
new English and Indian Wikipedia articles. The list goes one - she's
absolutely incredible.

Netha is one of the top 10 finalists for Red Hat's Women in Open Source
Award. Winners will be announced at the Red Hat Summit in June 2015.

My logic here is of course to bring awareness to Netha, but also to also
promote these incredible women in tech as well.

Here are highlights from the Wikimedia blog in January 2015: last month,
Wikipedia turned 14 and won the prestigious Erasmus prize; we reported on
how Jack Andraka used Wikipedia to develop a new test for pancreatic cancer
as a high school student; we featured a new program that shows Czech senior
citizens how to edit Wikipedia -- and we announced the release of a new
Content Translation tool. (link)
Thanks,

Hi Michael and social media team,
At long last, we just published “Love on the Wikis”, our community-created collection of great articles and images about love for Valentine’s Day:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/13/love-on-the-wikis/ <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/13/love-on-the-wikis/>
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this cool curation experiment!
Here are proposed ideas for spreading the word in social media:

For Valentine's Day, we asked Wikipedians to suggest great wiki articles and images about love. Here's what we found together. Thanks for sharing the love!

Feel free to tweak as needed.
Sorry for being so late in sending this message. We had some issues with videos and audio files that wouldn’t play :(
Thank you all for your help
Dear folks.
Can we send some posts about deadlines are approaching? February 16 at
23:59 UTC.
I think at this point a lot of people is aware about the deadline but a
reminder for the last minute applicants can be cool!
Muchas gracias.

Hi Michael and social media team,
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we just published this uplifting love story from two Wikimedians who fell in love while volunteering in Israel:

Many thanks to Darya for sharing this moving story with us!

I recommend we promote this story both today and tomorrow, to share the love with all the Wikimedians who celebrate (or appreciate) Valentine’s Day. :)
Next up this afternoon: ‘Love on the Wikis’, our community-created collection of great articles and images about love.
Stay tuned :)
