Hi folks,
We just published "WikiCamps introduce young Armenians to Wikipedia” on the blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/27/wikicamps-young-armenians-wikipedia/
Thanks to Samir Elsharbaty for writing this inspiring story - and to Andrew for his help in publishing it.
The well-designed structure of these WikiCamps seems to have made them particularly successful — and I like that students were encouraged to divide their time between editing Wikipedia and physical activities. It’s that type of thoughtful planning that can make a world of difference in all our programs. :)
Here are our ideas for social media messages for this story:
Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):
* WikiCamps introduce young Armenians to Wikipedia, in a cool new program from @wikimedia_am. (link)
* Introducing WikiCamps: @wikimedia_am engages young editors to contribute to Wikimedia projects. (link)
Facebook/Google+
• WikiCamps introduce young Armenians to Wikipedia, in a cool new program from @wikimedia_am. Last summer, 135 students ages 14-20 learned to edit Wikipedia, as well as practice sports, music and dance. (link)
• How old do you need to be to start contributing to Wikipedia? Last summer, 135 young adults ages 14-20 created 5,425 new articles while attending Wiki Camps, a promising new program from Wikimedia Armenia. (link)
• Wikimedia Armenia’s WikiCamp program exceeds expectation by instilling a passion for Wikipedia in young adults ages 14-20. Last summer, 135 students created 5,425 new articles as a result. (link)

Hello all,
I have uploaded the results from the *Signpost *readership survey to
Wikimedia Commons in PDF format:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Signpost_February_2015_survey_resul…
Thanks very much to the WMF Learning and Evaluation Team for letting us use
Qualtrics.
The *Signpost* management team recently agreed to cross-post selected
content from the Wikimedia Blog into the *Signpost*. By doing this we can
both increase the exposure of Blog content (many *Signpost *readers don't
read the blog) and enhance the value of the *Signpost *to its current
readers (some of whom would like to see more coverage of sister projects
and other, diverse parts of the Wikimedia ecosystem).
Your comments on the survey results would be appreciated. The
*Signpost *management
team will have more to say after we study these results in more detail, and
we will publish our comments in a future *Signpost *issue.
Cheers,
Pine
*Signpost *Publication and Newsroom Manager

*One gateway to the wide garden of knowledge, where lies The deep rock of
our past, in which we must delve The well of our future,The clear water we
must leave untainted for those who come after us,The fertile earth, in
which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many hands,And the broad
fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how much we do not
know.*
