Proposed sm for evergreenpost bitcoins now accepted
by Michael Guss 17 Dec '14

Hello everyone, I've noticed for quite a while that a lot of our mentions on Twitter are questions/ reasons why we do not get donations is because we do not accept bitcoins, which is entirely false. Help me set the record straight with approving these tweets (also because Jimmy already tweeted so we're a little behind the ball on this). Thanks! t: The Wikimedia Foundation accepts 14 different payment methods - including #Bitcoin @JohnRMeese https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Ways_to_Give#bitcoin t: The Wikimedia Foundation accepts 14 different payment methods - including #Bitcoin! https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/30/wikimedia-foundation-now-accepts-bitc… RT from @wikipedia -- Michael Guss Research Analyst Wikimediafoundation.org mguss(a)wikimedia.org

Evergreen blog posts
by Tilman Bayer 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

So after the "recycling" of the 2013 Aaron Swartz blog post went well last month, Michael and I were thinking we should post SM for old posts from the Wikimedia blog more often. Here are some candidates that already continue to receive a non-trivial baseline of pageviews: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/05/14/ads-on-wikipedia-your-computer-infect… (perhaps rather after the fundraiser, or with a message explaining the difference between and fundraising banners) https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/08/02/seven-years-after-nature-pilot-study-… https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/04/17/carry-the-entirety-of-wikipedia-in-yo… (this one is even more popular and also more general - not just Android - : https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/04/09/download-the-text-of-the-entire-engli… Unfortunately it's outdated and we haven't yet gotten Emanuel to write a new one.) And two which I think are suitable based on their topic: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/23/do-you-know-whats-around-you-let-wiki… https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/09/04/sixty-ways-to-help-new-editors/ Other ideas, or thoughts about the above? -- Tilman Bayer Senior Operations Analyst (Movement Communications) Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB

Google to transfer Freebase to Wikidata
by Fabrice Florin 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Hi guys, Here’s another piece of movement news that seems worth spreading in social media: Google just announced plans to wind down its Freebase service and to transfer the Freebase data in to Wikidata in mid-2015. https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z122wpyxhob0hjoik04cc3vatw2zfv4zsz… This may sound a bid geeky, but it’s a big deal because it shows wide adoption of our open source structured data format by an industry giant. t: Goodbye Freebase, hello Wikidata! Kudos to everyone at @wikidata for this great achievement ! https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z122wpyxhob0hjoik04cc3vatw2zfv4zsz… I tweeted it here, if you want to simply retweet: https://twitter.com/fabriceflorin/status/544958206733086720 This lead comes courtesy of Andrew Lih, who has a very keen eye for important Wikimedia stories :) Cheers, Fabrice _______________________________ Fabrice Florin Product Manager, Multimedia Wikimedia Foundation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Fabrice_Florin_(WMF)

17 Dec '14

Hello everyone, Today is the 12th birthday for Creative Commons, one of our like-minded organizations. Creative commons licensing is especially important on Wikimedia Commons, and certainly, Wikipedia as well. I think it would be a good idea to give them a shout-out. t: Happy Birthday @creativecommons! Thank you for 12 years of open sharing, looking forward to many more! #cc12 t: 12 years of @creativecommons. Happy Birthday! #cc12 Proposed from @wikicommons, RT from @wikimedia and @wikipedia f/g: Happy Birthday Creative Commons!

Tweet request for Poco a Poco
by Russavia 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Hi all, I have posted on Facebook the Poco a Poco appeal link.[1] It is getting shared by the chapters, etc. I have posted from @commonsaviation for #avgeeks[2] but I am getting asked by more people within the Commons community to get a tweet out from @wikicommons. Obviously, no-one in the community has access to that account, so it has to be done by you guys at the WMF. This is something that is important to the Commons community. So suggested tweet: Please donate to help a prolific Wikimedia Commons photographer to replace stolen photographic equipment. More at: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/funding-a-new-gear-for-wm-photographer-p… Can we get a yay or nay on this as soon as possible. Thanks Russavia [1] https://www.facebook.com/Wikimedia.Commons/posts/853462558009368 [2] https://twitter.com/commonsaviation/status/539991072416337921
