Hello all,
Here is the proposed SM for the Removing SSL 3.0 Support blog post. Thanks for reviewing!
Blog post: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/17/protecting-users-against-poodle-by-rem...
As an exception for this blog post, we should use the HTTP URL instead of HTTPS for linking to the post: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/17/protecting-users-against-poodle-by-remo... (since we're targeting especially people who use browsers with incomplete HTTPS support, even in case Wordpress.com hasn't disabled SSL 3.0 yet - I didn't check)

If I'm informed correctly, IE versions prior to IE6 didn't support encryption at all, so "& older" isn't entirely correct ;)

LGTM

This one sounds good, except that it does not mention IE6. Suggest instead:
Scared of the #POODLE? WMF removes SSL 3.0 support to protect our users. If you still use the IE6 browser, read this:

- f/g: In the interest of protecting our users, The Wikimedia Foundation has
ceased support for SSL 3.0, an outdated HTTPS implementation that leaves users vulnerable to the Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption or POODLE. Users of Internet Explorer 6 or other old browsers will be impacted. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/17/protecting-users-against-poodle-by-rem...

With some tweaks:
Wikimedia has taken measures to protect its users from the POODLE security vulnerability by ceasing support for SSL 3.0. Users of Internet Explorer 6 and other very old browsers will be affected.
