Hello everyone,
Tonight on PBS, new Vietnam documentary featuring Wikipedian Antonio
Santiago is to premiere here tonight in the USA at 10PM (EST/PST).
Our blog did a feature on him a while back:
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Thank_You/Tony_Santiago
Here's proposed Tweets. Will include proposed Facebook and G+ shortly, but
wanted to make sure we got these seen.
I intend to promote their landing page, which features a trailer with a
segment featuring Tony, their designated handles and hashtags – and of
course – our own blog post on him. Thank you for reviewing.

Hello everyone,
We haven't promoted this data visualization for WLM 2015 and I think it is
definitely interesting, more so for its integrating of many different
languages of Wikipedias.
Take a look for yourselves:

But what do you guys think?

We plan to send out five pieces of social for this story, spread through

Please do comment for tone.

Hi all,
"Should I pay for a Wikipedia article?" is prepped and scheduled to go out
at 7:30am PST tomorrow, assuming the blog's time zone is PST. A preview for
those with WordPress access is available
<https://wikimediablog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=42186&action=edit>,
or there is a draft Google Doc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qkM5ypjjg2mz0jhhOYAO-bFZ7CP2frwcfQFsYcM…>.

Thanks go to Gamaliel for the post.
Proposed social media messages follow:
*Twitter:*
- Considering paying for a Wikipedia article? Check out a reference
guide first:
*Facebook/Google+:*
- Wikipedia's rules on editing for money are numerous. Here's a summary:
- As Jimmy Wales says, "If anybody emails you asking for money
pretending to be Wikipedia, alarm bells should ring ... Everything about
Wikipedia is free."
As always, I'm open to suggestions and improvements, and I'm fairly certain
that someone here can come up with better posts!

Hi all,
We just published "“My favorite website”: Stephen Colbert’s complicated
relationship with Wikipedia" to the blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/08/colberts-complicated-relationship-wit…
Proposed social messages follow:
*Facebook/Google+:*
- We're watching you, Stephen Colbert—don't mess with us tonight. *(<-
his new TV show debuts tonight)*
- Stephen, you tried to claim that you’re no fan of encyclopedias. We
knew better.
- Of course, Stephen Colbert and Wikipedia are very different—one has an
army of supporters, has received multiple awards, and is generally beloved
by the Internet. The other is Stephen.
- *We may want to change the default image on social to the one from the
main page: https://blog.wikimedia.org/ <https://blog.wikimedia.org/>*
*Twitter:*
- .@StephenAtHome Be good tonight—we'll be watching. And editing.
#wikiality
- .@StephenAtHome, you tried to claim that you’re no fan of
encyclopedias. We knew better.
