https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/06/16/this-week-in-news-on-wikipedia/
Thanks to Joe for writing this story, and to everyone who helped get it ready for publication.
This news roundup is a new content experiment for the Wikimedia blog, based on content created for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Comments welcome about this new idea.
Here are our proposed social media messages. We have prepared copy in different lengths. Michael, you may want to use each version at different times, starting with one this afternoon, another one tonight and one more in the morning, featuring a single story of your choice.
Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):
* Space, disease, and a natural disaster: this week in news on Wikipedia (link)
* It's alive! ''Philae'' wakes up in this week's news on Wikipedia (link)
Facebook/Google+:

Social media team, now it’s your turn: what do you think about this first example? Is this type of news roundup interesting to you? Should we consider making it a weekly series? Please share your comments here or on the blog, to help us refine this idea.
Thanks for sharing this story with our community!
