Hey all,
We just published "News on Wikipedia: Reddit controversy and the Women’s
World Cup final" to the Wikimedia blog. URL:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/07/08/reddit-and-the-wwc/
We plan to send out five pieces of social for this story, spread evenly
through the next seven days (or thereabouts). Here are the five in no
particular order (thanks to Ed for these):
• In #Greece, bailout terms were emphatically voted down this week.
#NewsOnWikipedia
• The #USWNT beat Japan this week for their third title, the most of any
women's soccer team. #NewsOnWikipedia
• Chile claimed the #CopaAmerica title this week, the first title in the
nation's history. #NewsOnWikipedia
• A controversy at @reddit this week caused several moderators to
temporarily lock their subforums. #NewsOnWikipedia
• One of the richest men in the world has pledged his entire fortune to
charity. #NewsOnWikipedia
Perhaps we should use variatons for Facebook:
• Greek voters rejected terms on a new European Union bailout this week.
#NewsOnWikipedia
• Carli Lloyd scored a hat trick within just thirteen minutes as the United
States claimed the FIFA Women's World Cup. #NewsOnWikipedia
• A penalty shootout was needed to separate Chile and Argentina in the Copa
América final. #NewsOnWikipedia
• Some of Reddit's most popular subforums were locked down in protest this
week. #NewsOnWikipedia
• Al-Waleed bin Talal, the 21st-richest man in the world, this week pledged
his fortune to charity. #NewsOnWikipedia
best,
Joe

Time to merge these channels, or is there a good reason to have two?

Hi,
Today i was searching in Youtube and found that there are two channels of
Wikimedia Foundation (the links are following). The channel which has a
verified link (the first link) has only a few videos and the other channel
has user friendly URL and more videos.
Can anyone tell why there are two channels and which one should i follow?
