Hi eveyrone again, got out the first round of tweets  @wikimedia  and @wikipedia, and here are the proposed social media messages for Facebook/Google+. Thank you for reviewing. Want share a friendly reminder that these posts for Facebook are able to be geotargetted to strictly the USA. 

  • New documentary “On Two Fronts: Latinos & Vietnam” premiering tonight at 10pm  on PBS features Wikipedian, Antonio Santiago sharing his experience during the Vietnam War. Catch the full trailer here: https://vimeo.com/122576232


  • Wikipedia editor Antonio Santiago, aka “Tony the Marine” stars in a new PBS documentary, “On Two Fronts: Latinos & Vietnam”, which details the experiences of Latino Americans serving in the Vietnam War. The official Wikimedia blog caught up with Santiago back in 2013.

Love to use one or two of these quotes to maybe push more than once as well: 

  • “Most people do not know the contribution that Latinos have made. Wikipedia has provided me with the tools to help,”

  • “When I was growing up in some of the rougher parts of New York City, the history books usually failed to mention Hispanic people. Because of that, children like me lacked role models and heroes, or a sense of our own history. Wikipedia has provided me with a tool to help. “

  • “To be able to share my knowledge with thousands of people for free is beyond my comprehension. Only Wikipedia can make that possible.”

  • “We’re living in an era, especially in the United States, where the anti-Latino sentiment is very high.”


  • Be sure to tune in tonight to PBS at 10PM for the premiere of the new documentary “On Two Fronts: Latino & Vietnam” featuring Wikipedian Antonio Santiago sharing his experiences of the Vietnam War. #LatinosVietnam <No Link>

This is super weird to me but I'm just on a tiny, one-time-zone island after all ;)

It is actually common practice in the industry to set reminder per coast here in the USA (largest media markets) due to the  3 hour time zone difference. For the 60 Minutes broadcast back in April, we did do that, even though I only got a chance to Livetweet for the west coast airing.

LGTM but it seems very odd to me to have two posts one for each coast?
