Hello Everyone,
We just added Victors video of Print wikipedia to the blog post.
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/06/19/meet-print-wikipedia/
Victor has suggested we share the burned in captioned video on Facebook
tomorrow to promote it.
We can also re-promote the blog post when we share the video since it is
now added.
Any suggestions or thoughts let us know,
