Hey everyone,
Congrats!
It is October 7th, which means today is the Apocalypse... according to the
eBible Fellowship. Did you know that so far in the last five years, we have
survived 11 doomsdays?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events
It is currently a trending item on both Fb and Twitter. Jeff, how do you
feel about this?
I love this last sentence from the article:
"No predicted apocalyptic events have occurred so far."
"Throughout history, many have attempted to predict the end of the world,
including today. And Wikipedia has documented them all."
"Did you know that Grigori Rasputin prophesied a storm where fire would
destroy most life on land and Jesus Christ would come back to Earth to
comfort those in distress for the date August 23, 2013?"

Hi,
Could @Wikipedia share this Facebook event, targeted for Swedish speakers
in Sweden (perhaps even in Stockholm if that is possible)?
https://www.facebook.com/events/451652678355469/
"Hjälp flyktingar att hitta bra information genom att förbättra Wikipedia
på denna skrivstuga på torsdag."
(English: Help refugees find good information by improving Wikipedia on
this editathon this Thursday.)
If you have a better copy I'll be happy to translate it to Swedish.
It is an editathon with the aim to improve articles that will be important
for refugees arriving in Sweden.

This tortured post has been through several machinations due to its
tangential relationship to a notorious troll. Look OK?
Do you Instagram? The colorful photo company launched this day in 2010.

Instagram launched Oct 6, 2010. I Instagrammed the Wikipedia article
stating that (adding groovy colors), and thought about posting the pic on
Twitter and Facebook with the text:
Happy birthday, Instagram, launched this day in 2010
With the article link.
Sound OK?
