That worked nicely, but Katherine clearly took the cake with https://twitter.com/krmaher/status/609349086198677504 : 440 RTs and 280 favs :-o

BTW, regarding this response there: https://twitter.com/ericlaw/status/609361607152398336 ("Wikipedia could improve load time on the HTTPS site by sending less data. Remove useless image metadata"), you could point him to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100546 where something very similar is being discussed. Or @mediawiki could.

Hello Everyone,

We just published "Securing access to Wikimedia sites with HTTPS by default" to the blog. URL:


Thanks to Yana, Victoria, and Brandon for helping write and edit this blog post (as well as many others).

Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.

Twitter Post:

• We just secured access to @Wikimedia projects with #HTTPS by default. (link)

Facebook Post:

• We’re happy to announce that we are implementing HTTPS by default to encrypt all traffic on Wikipedia and all other Wikimedia projects. With this change, nearly half a billion monthly visitors will be able to share in the world’s knowledge more securely. (link)

Thanks,
