Hey all,
We just published "News on Wikipedia: New Horizons and Iran agreement" to
the Wikimedia blog. URL:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/07/23/new-horizons-and-iran-agreement/
We plan to send out five pieces of social for this story, spread through
the next seven days (or thereabouts). Here are the five in roughly the
order we should post (oldest to newest).
Please do comment for tone.

Hi Katherine,
We shared the tetris effect, by the looks of the comments, it is resonating
(I also thought it would be suitable for Twitter and G+):

Hello everyone,
We just published "Wikidata, coming soon to a menu near you" to the blog.
URL:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/07/21/wikidata-tastydata/
We received Swedish translations for the title and summary on the
translations-l email list a few minutes ago and have now published both
English and Swedish versions.
Thanks to John for writing the story and Joe and Ed for editing.
Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.
*Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):*
* Open data now at a restaurant near you: LINK TO POST
* With open data the order at the restaurant is easier than ever: LINK TO

* Wikidata hosted a menu challenge for restaurants, around the world, to
expand their menus with key information.
Thanks,

Thanks Jason!
The session looks good! Will definitely try to get there.
Moving this off the internal list to the public one for more eyes (and so it's more likely someone who isn't on their phone, on a plane, is around and can post).
Comments in line.

I'm general looks good as a tweet except a couple comments for the site. Nothing they would make me want to block the tweet (unless others do) but should probably be thought of.
* The site right now seems to be privately owned (Amazon IP, Whois is private and not our registrar etc) but includes our logos etc so looks like it would be our site.
* This is more a comms thing who could help with questions (not my specialty :) ) but you may want to take a look through the visual identity guidelines (https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Visual_identity_guidelines) to look at things like the logo (background color etc), name (usually Wkimedia Foundation not, "The" Wikimedia Foundation, the trademark icons etc.
* You currently have the logo and links to the privacy policy and terms of use at the bottom of the page. However those don't really apply to the site especially since it's hosted elsewhere with a lot of leakage to external providers.

Hello Everyone,
We just published "A veteran’s Wikipedia edits help him understand the
brutality behind Yugoslavia’s wars" to the blog. URL:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/06/18/understanding-yugoslavia-wars-on-wiki…
Thanks to Ed for writing the story and Fabrice and Joe for editing.
Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.
*Twitter:*
• He deployed with @AustralianArmy to Bosnia. Now, editing #Wikipedia helps
him understand the brutality he witnessed: <link>
• This veteran writes for #Wikipedia to help him understand what he
witnessed there: <link>
• A veteran learning how to edit #Wikipedia in a highly charged topic
area—the wartime history of the Balkans: <link>
*Facebook/Google+:*
• He deployed with the AustralianArmy to Bosnia in 1995. Now, editing
Wikipedia helps him understand the brutality he witnessed.
• His most potent memory comes from one of his first patrols. The platoon
was speaking with suspected looters when they came across a farmer shot
dead, his hayfork still alongside. "We just came across him ... so we were
unprepared. I still remember it clearly, but because I photographed it in
black and white, I remember it in black and white."
Thanks,
