I maintain that this will be much easier once we've gotten more familiar with new tools for social promotion. Watch this space.

Aha, that second issue had not ocurred to me. I would think that FB would aggregate the shares and likes from the identical content posts that are directed to different audiences, but maybe they have a reason for not doing that. In any case, I think that Wikipedia's goals for its social media generally are to drive readership and fundraising (right?), so the lack of aggregation of likes and shares shouldn't concern us very much (or should it?)

Yes, Pine, it's possible but you will need to make the post seen for a specific group only and that way your engagement will be divided on different timezones. For example a post will be posted like 5 times, in each one you'll need to specify what countries to show to. This has two issues, the first is more work and the second is having divided engagement. i.e. the post will seem to be liked by 20 people while it should be 100 from all the posts together.
