Promoting Wikimedia in Diaspora network
by Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

Hi all I was asked by my chapter to promote Wikimedia Poland using Diaspora network. Apparently it is quite popular among people related to open education in Poland and it might be a good idea to try to reach to them using this site. I'm not very familiar with Diaspora so I would really appreciate some advice on that. Does anyone here have any experience with using this network to promote Wikimedia projects? Did you find it useful or not really? Are there any tips or/and stories you would like to share?

Longest Wikipedia article title
by Joe Sutherland 16 Mar '16

This might be cool to social, possibly. Originally, the holder of this was: To authorize the President to extend the term of the Agreement for Cooperation between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Korea Concerning Civil Uses of Nuclear Energy ... But that was moved <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=H.R._2449_(113th_Congress)&diff=…> to "H.R. 2449 (113th Congress)" (by our own Neil Quinn, in fact!) in 2014. The current holder <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzukake_no_Ki_no_Michi_de_%22Kimi_no_Hohoemi…> is a Japanese pop song called... Suzukake no Ki no Michi de "Kimi no Hohoemi o Yume ni Miru" to Itte Shimattara Bokutachi no Kankei wa Dō Kawatte Shimau no ka, Bokunari ni Nannichi ka Kangaeta Ue de no Yaya Kihazukashii Ketsuron no Yō na Mono ...So, the social proposal is... *Twitter*: • The longest page title on the English Wikipedia belongs to a 2013 single by Japanese group AKB48. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzukake_no_Ki_no_Michi_de_%22Kimi_no_Hohoemi… <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzukake_no_Ki_no_Michi_de_%22Kimi_no_Hohoemi…> *Facebook*: • As well as peaking at number one on the Oricon charts in Japan, at 209 characters, this song's article has the longest title of any article on the English Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzukake_no_Ki_no_Michi_de_%22Kimi_no_Hohoemi… <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzukake_no_Ki_no_Michi_de_%22Kimi_no_Hohoemi…> Joe -- *Joe Sutherland* Communications Fellow [remote] joesutherland.rocks | @jrbsu <http://twitter.com/jrbsu> | +44 (0) 7722 916 433
