Hi,
this is about trying something that we haven't really done so far, but which is a fairly usual practice: sending several tweets for one post. (For example, @creativecommons does this regularly and strategically, on different times of the day with the idea that this will help to reach different timezones. It can become slightly evil and spammy especially when merely repeating the same tweet, so I would propose to for now only do it with different tweets that include new information.)
We decided on Friday that the Ward Cunningham post might make a good case for this, with the first tweet (https://twitter.com/Wikipedia/status/470828724985008128 , drafted by Carlos and reviewed on-wiki) focusing on the birthday, and the second highlighting some interesting bits from the actual interview. For that, I'm proposing:
Why @WardCunningham edited anonymously on the first ever wiki (his own), and how wikis changed how we react to typos https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/05/26/happy-birthday-ward-cunningham-invento...
- rrom @wikipedia, repeated by @wikimedia, and using the same still from the video as in the blog post: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/Ward_Cunningham%2C...
Please review this one, and also give your thoughts on using that kind of doubling-down tweets in general.
