Round 2: Let's get the Confederate flag story out of the way before it's too old.

Twitter (@wikipedia/@wikimedia):
• South Carolina voted to remove the Confederate battle flag last week. [link]


Facebook/G+:
• The Confederate battle flag had been on display for 54 years. Last week, it was taken down. [link]

Yes, I concur with Joe; but that's a minor thing and we have to account for the title acting as complemental copy as well. I think we'll run with the clauses following the colon while maintaing the #NewsOnWikipedia for the sake of keeping tabs/ developing that conversation.

I'd want to vary the Facebook posts a bit since that'll get pretty samey after a while.

The Satoru Iwata Twitter seems to undersell him a little. "Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's president for 12 years, died this week aged 55. #NewsOnWikipedia" might work better.

No worries. Proposed new social:

Facebook:
  1. This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: can you name both of this year's Wimbledon champs?
  2. This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: Greece has agreed to hold talks on a third bailout deal with their creditors.
  3. This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: the prisoner who escaped through a mile-long tunnel with the help of a modified motorcycle.
  4. This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: the Confederate flag was removed from South Carolina's State House grounds this week.
  5. This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: Satoru Iwata, the long-time president of Nintendo who oversaw game consoles like the GameCube and Wii, died at the age of 55.

Twitter:

  1. Can you name both of this year's Wimbledon champs? #NewsOnWikipedia
  2. Greece and the EU come together for a potential third financial bailout. #NewsOnWikipedia
  3. This prisoner escaped with a mile-long tunnel and a modified motorcycle. #NewsOnWikipedia
  4. The Confederate flag came down from South Carolina's State House grounds this week. #NewsOnWikipedia
  5. Did you own a GameCube or Wii? If so, you'll miss Satoru Iwata. #NewsOnWikipedia

Thoughts?

Thanks, Andrew and Ed. I thought our plan was to split this up into individual stories on social (i.e. one post per story) rather than promote the whoel blog post? 

Also I'm not comfortable using the #ElChapo hashtag.

For sure. I thought this could be the social for today (or first day promotion). I expected Joe to have more social ideas.

I'm sure Joe will add more here too so we can socialize this multiple times, like last week :-)

For Twitter, is #ElChapo the hashtag for him? Let's also hashtag #NewsOnWikipedia

For Facebook, "This week in #NewsOnWikipedia: Wimbledon, Nintendo, and much more."
