Jan, per what James said, would you like to prepare a Facebook message
for geo-targeted and language-targeted posts, and point us to a
@wikimediaSE tweet that's suitable for retweeting?

To Charles' point: According to Facebook Insights,
https://www.facebook.com/wikipedia currently has 8,874 fans (Likes) in
Sweden, and 6,112 Swedish-speaking ones.
https://www.facebook.com/WikimediaSverige has 922 fans. Happy to link
the chapter handle when doing these targeted posts.
