Why not multiple tweets, one of which has the mentions? We don't send out enough tweets anyway IMHO, and it's a good way to personally yet publicly acknowledge them.

Article looks good, while I watched it from home (it was one of those days sadly) I loved how the speakers actually had wildly different views at times which has not always been the case for these events (which is not required :) I enjoyed those too ). SM Comments inline

Looks great!  Do we want to include the speakers' twitter handles so that they retweet it to their followers? If so, here they are: @PamelaSamuelson @LilaBaileyLaw @dreamword @melvingibbs @yanatweets

Feel free to leave me out if you run out of characters. I'll retweet it regardless. :)

Hmm, I give some options below (even without mentioning you it's too long without adjustment) but I'd actually stay away from mentions given how many there are. I just think the tweet itself starts to become so cluttered it's hard to use and understand for the average reader. That would end up with 5-6 different links in the tweet which is pretty rough.

Hey all,

We just published "Wikimedia Foundation hosts lively panel on copyright" to the blog. URL:

Many thanks to Lexie, Yana and Michelle for this post.

Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.

Twitter (@wikipedia/@wikimedia):

• Wikimedia Foundation Legal event draws 100+ to discuss copyright. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/08/03/wikimedia-copyright-panel/

• Wikimedia hosts copyright experts debating recent mass digitization policy proposal. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/08/03/wikimedia-copyright-panel/

• Both LGTM, personally I'd avoid mentions (picking just 1 or 2 to mention isn't fair and all 4-5 makes it very cluttered) and go with the 2nd one but I'm happy with both :). If we want to do the mentions then we'd probably have to take #1 and adjust it for length. Some options below.
