Hello,
We just released some infographics based on a survey (and some other
statistics) on Swedish Wikipedia.
Could this be reshared by @wikipedia and/or @wikimedia on Facebook targeted
to Swedish speakers?

>From @wikicommons, RT by @wikipedia and @wikimedia:
Check out the results from the ninth #PictureOfTheYear contest! View
them at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2014/Results
(taken from the suggested tweet text in the share link on the linked page)
Perhaps someone else has time to write up a FB/G+ text.
Not sure about the POTY team's announcement plans, but this is already
running in a site notice on Commons. Would make a great blog post of
course as in previous years
(https://blog.wikimedia.org/c/communications/picture-of-the-year-communicati…

Half of Wikipedia's top medical editors are health care professionals,

Wikipedia is probably "the most viewed medical resource globally",
according to this new study.
Wikipedia's medical content is supported by more than 950,000
references and was viewed more than 4.88 billion times in 2013.

Twitter:
Announcing the @Wikimedia Open Access policy: all our research work is now openly available: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/03/18/wikimedia-open-access-policy/ #OA #cscw2015
or a more casual tone:
Announcing the @Wikimedia Open Access policy: putting our money where out mouth is. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/03/18/wikimedia-open-access-policy/ #cscw2015
Facebook/Google+:
