Proposed social media for Donor Nick's letter to post on Facebook/Google +
by Michael Guss 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hello everyone, I'm just asking for the approval to post Nick's letter to our F/G Wikipedia accounts. Perhaps we could include a short blurb about thanking our donors to introduce it? Here it is: "I must say I rarely donate to fundraisers, but the message I saw today made me realize something very important. That something is about you, Wikipedia, and how you have been a huge part of my life for close to a decade now. Wikipedia, I just want to take this time to express my deep and sincere feelings for you. You have always been by my side, and have guided me through my best and my worst times. During those stressful late nights trying finish my reports, you showed me the way. During those arguments with my friends about various trivial topics, you always had my back. During those dull conversations, you always had a random article to liven things up again. You are beautiful in every way. From your subtle but elegant pale blue background, to your vastness of simplistic, clear and plentiful hyperlinks containing a wealth of exciting topics to feast your eyes upon. I love your sleek sidebar containing all the most important information about a topic. But your most beautiful feature of all, your immense volume of knowledge and your admirable generosity and passion to share this with the world, free-of-charge. Wikipedia, I love you. Yours truly, Nick" * Quick blurbs to introduce it * f/g: Thank you to our donors, including you Nick, who wrote us this inspiring letter. *Include Letter here.* f/g: Thank you Nick for writing this amazing letter! We appreciate your kind words and your donation to keep knowledge free for everyone. *Include Letter here.* f/g: Thank you to all our incredible donors, including Nick, who wrote us this inspiring letter. Thank you for your kind words and your donation to support our vision - to help realize a world in which every single human can freely share in the sum of all human knowledge. *Include Letter here.* -- Michael Guss Research Analyst Wikimediafoundation.org mguss(a)wikimedia.org

Twitter link on WMF error pages
by Tilman Bayer 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Just a heads-up that there are currently efforts underway for the (long overdue) redesign of the error page that shows when the servers are down: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76560 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/M15/23/ Twitter is the recommended medium to update the public on larger outages (as we obviously can't rely on our own sites for communication in that kind of situation), see also https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_response#Communicating_with_th… . And the design team is considering to add a direct link to e.g. @wikimedia on the new error page(s), which I think is a great idea. -- Tilman Bayer Senior Operations Analyst (Movement Communications) Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB

Hey guys, Here’s another suggestion for social media: yesterday’s great presentation on Readership. The proposed copy below is inspired by my own posts. Tweak ’n tweet as you see fit. :) In the future, I think thematic team presentations like these could be easily repurposed into blog posts too. Cheers, Fabrice _________________________________ Twitter: Great presentation about readership on @Wikipedia and @Wikimedia sites: growth opportunities in mobile + global south. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2014_Readership_Update,_WMF_Metrics… Facebook/Google: Great presentation about readership on Wikipedia and its sister projects: growth opportunities are on mobile platforms and in the global south.
