Hi Fabrice,

I'm super excited about this! : ) Love the blog post announcement.

I think we can get more engagement with a few tweaks for the first time we promote this and get as many eyeballs on the blog post as we can. 

How about: 

@wikipedia: Love Wikipedia? Help us find great Wiki Articles about Love for #ValentinesDay

https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/06/wiki-articles-about-love/

Include Public Domain Image for far greater engagement

Fb/G+  LGTM.

Hello Michael and social media elves !

As discussed, we just published a new blog post to invite our community to find great wiki articles (or images) about love:

https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/06/wiki-articles-about-love/

I’m excited to try out this experiment with new types of thematic user-generated content, combining social media, the wikis and the blog. 

This new campaign plan — and proposed social media ideas -- is outlined here:

Help find great wiki articles about love for #ValentinesDay: what's your favorite wiki page, image, or video? 

Facebook:

What is your favorite Wikipedia article (or image) about love?

As millions prepare to celebrate Valentine’s Day, we'd like to know how love is covered on Wikipedia and its sister projects. Share your favorite wiki articles, pictures, or media about love -- from platonic to fraternal or romantic. We'll post some of your top picks here on Friday Feb. 13, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Please add your suggestions below, and include a sentence or two about why you picked it!

Thanks for sharing the love :)

Feel free to tweak as you see fit. I defer to you all to determine the best way to get the word out in social networks. Be sure to add final links to the Google doc linked above.

Once we’ve heard from the team, I propose to send an email later today to a few friendly mailing lists like @wmfall, @techambassadors, @editorengagement, @multimedia, as well as to my own community champion contacts. But I will wait to do that until you’ve all commented on this proposal.

I hope we’ll learn a thing or two about new ways to engage our community in user-generated content lists, which can inform our next campaigns. :)

Thanks for sharing the love :)

Fabrice
