Hi folks, Lydia from Wikidata has asked if we could share the news about Wikidata's second birthday, and I think it's a great idea. I propose that we retweet https://twitter.com/wikidata/status/527518119216939009 from @wikimedia and @wikipedia, and share https://www.facebook.com/Wikidata/posts/868034369896808 on facebook and https://plus.google.com/u/0/105776413863749545202/posts/ZB5NFNwhtNx on Google+. -- Guillaume Paumier
