Yeah, that's why I originally used NewsOnWikipedia, but either words for me! Great way to use that hashtag in prose, Michael—thanks!

Going forward I'd recommend making that all-lower-case, since on first glance I was wonder who "Newson" was...

Those both look good to me. Perhaps we could create a custom hashtag for each of these, like #WikipediaNews or #NewsOnWikipedia, that would follow the link?

Best,

Hi folks,

We just published "Space, disease and a natural disaster: this week in news on Wikipedia” on the Wikimedia blog:

https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/06/16/this-week-in-news-on-wikipedia/

Thanks to Joe for writing this story, and to everyone who helped get it ready for publication.

This news roundup is a new content experiment for the Wikimedia blog, based on content created for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Comments welcome about this new idea.

Here are our proposed social media messages. We have prepared copy in different lengths. Michael, you may want to use each version at different times, starting with one this afternoon, another one tonight and one more in the morning, featuring a single story of your choice.

Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):

* Space, disease, and a natural disaster: this week in news on Wikipedia (link)

* It's alive! ''Philae'' wakes up in this week's news on Wikipedia (link)

Facebook/Google+:

* Here are some of the global news stories covered on Wikipedia this week: the Philae lander awakens from its comet; a MERS outbreak in South Korea kills 19; Flooding in Georgia kills 15 people; Zhou Yongkang sentenced to life in prison; Omar al-Bashir evades arrest for war crimes. What do you think about this news roundup? Please share your feedback.  [link]

* Here are some of the global news stories covered on Wikipedia this week. This news roundup is a new content experiment for the Wikimedia blog. What do you think? Please share your feedback in the comments below. [link]

Feel free to tweak as needed.

Social media team, now it’s your turn: what do you think about this first example? Is this type of news roundup interesting to you? Should we consider making it a weekly series? Please share your comments here or on the blog, to help us refine this idea.

Thanks for sharing this story with our community!


Fabrice
