If possible, I'd also like to have multiple rounds of social media for this story—in part because I think we can post multiple times about the same stories to get more traffic, but also because I'd like to see what kind of language plays best for these posts! I know that you're pretty busy with your other work, so if needed I'm willing to help where I can.On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 6:11 PM, Michael Guss <mguss@wikimedia.org> wrote:Hi Ed:Yes we can hyper target post by location (even city FYI). Twitter I don't have the ability to target tweets.

Is that possible, Michael?

Now, editing Wikipedia helps him understand the brutality he witnessed.• His most potent memory comes from one of his first patrols. The platoon was speaking with suspected looters when they came across a farmer shot dead, his hayfork still alongside. "We just came across him ... so we were unprepared. I still remember it clearly, but because I photographed it in black and white, I remember it in black and white."Thanks,--Andrew ShermanDigital Communications | Wikimedia Foundation
