I like Jeff’s note about the etiquette, and agree it would be best to ask permission before using.If we have the resources and are already monitoring the comments, seems like documenting the best ones and requesting usage might be helpful to other efforts. That said, I obviously defer to others on if that’s how to best allocate limited resources. ;)Out of curiosity, how accessible are the collected stories and quotes? Does all WMF staff have access? Are they lurking on Meta (which sometimes feels like the best place to hide something)? Or is it sort of spread across different docs accessible to different folks depending on who was doing what when the story/quote came in?-gregOn Oct 12, 2015, at 1:41 PM, Juliet Barbara <jbarbara@wikimedia.org> wrote:Good point, Greg. We have collected community stories and donor quotes. It might be a good idea to start adding these too to have them on hand for other projects. This is a wealth of good will - and data!_______________________________________________On Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 10:40 AM, Jeff Elder <jelder@wikimedia.org> wrote:I've looked at about 2,500 comments from the past two Sundays' discussion posts, which yielded roughly 31,000 comments. The general social media etiquette for brand managers, in my experience, would be reply to the comment we're interested in following up on, and ask the Facebook fan if we can use it off-platform and publicly.Jeff ElderDigital communications managerWikimedia FoundationOn Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 10:34 AM, Gregory Varnum <greg.varnum@gmail.com> wrote:Does WMF track public comments like those anywhere?Might be interesting to be able to pull that for a public report, OpEd, or campaign in the future.
