Hey there, We are hoping to update the cover photo for the Wikipedia Facebook page. I have proposed one particular photo which I liked a lot. The photo is public domain, and it has also been retouched by a Commons user- which illustrates a positive feature about Commons. Please feel free to share your opinions and recommend other PD photos that you would like to see up. Thanks! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amundsen-Scott_marsstation_ray_h_ed… -- Carlos Monterrey Communications Associate Wikimedia Foundation +1.415.839.6885 ext 6881 www.wikimediafoundation.org blog.wikimedia.org

Discussion: Advertising weekly tech news on social media channels
by Guillaume Paumier 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

Hi, Following the recent Tech news blog post, Waldir left a comment on the MediaWiki Google+ page asking if it would be possible to post the link to the weekly tech newsletter on social media channels: https://plus.google.com/103470172168784626509/posts/4rDTVXKxfZv When I started the newsletter last year, I didn't want to post it every week on SM channels because we were just starting out. Now that the publication is reasonably steady, Waldir's comment has me rethinking the possibility. So, I'm considering posting the link to the latest tech newsletter every morning when it's delivered to the subscribers across wikis. The link would be posted on all 3 channels (Facebook, Twitter and Google+) but only from the MediaWiki accounts for now. We might want to reshare or retweet it frow @Wikimedia from time to time, but for now I'd like to focus on getting started from @mediawiki. Thoughts? -- Guillaume Paumier Technical Communications Manager — Wikimedia Foundation
