Hi,
Is there any policy in moderating threads on social media accounts?
I am specifically thinking on this example:
https://www.facebook.com/wikipedia/posts/10153251771908346
There is quite a few demeaning comments there. I would have hoped for a
zero tolerance policy towards these. Now the volunteer who was taking the
photos are trying to debate (forgetting to not feed the trolls).

Hello Everyone,
We just published "A Wikipedian-in-Residence and the US government join
forces to share knowledge on occupational safety and health" to the blog.
URL:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/05/19/occupational-safety-and-health/
Thanks to Emily for writing the draft and helping us edit.
Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed
*Twitter:*
• A Wikipedian-in-Residence and @NIOSH join forces to share knowledge on
occupational safety and health (link)
[does NIOSH have a Twitter account we should include here? We're at 112
characters now, so we might want to replace US government with it, even
though it's not all that meaningful to a general audience.]
• A Wikipedian-in-Residence improves Wikipedia content with @NIOSH research.
*Facebook/G+:*
• The US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has
been working with a Wikipedian-in-Residence to improve Wikimedia content on
occupational safety and health. (link)
