FYI Michael, I've scheduled the Japan post directly with Facebook since I'm tagging a whole bunch of rugby pages in it, so it's not going to show up in Buffer :(

These have now been scheduled. I'm going to stick without the "only" for the rugby Facebook post if only because it's supposed to read like a definitive list (because it is), and "only" is kind of redundant for that.
Thanks for the suggestions though!!
Joe

Hey all,
We today published "News on Wikipedia: Japan shocks the rugby world, an earthquake strikes Chile, and more" to the Wikimedia blog. URL:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/22/japan-rugby-chile-earthquake/
We plan to send out five pieces of social for this story, spread through the rest of the week to keep things timely.
Please do comment for tone.

• Greece just had their second general election in nine months. #NewsOnWikipedia
hmm, this works but I wonder about a bit more of an active voice? (I think I'm using that phrase correctly...) such as:
"Greece finishes their second general election in nine months. #NewsOnWikipedia" think it flows better then "just had"
• Japan's military now has powers it hasn't had since World War II. #NewsOnWikipedia
LGTM, other thoughts:
- Japan interprets it's constitution to allow it to enter foreign
conflicts to attack in self-defense. #NewsOnWikipedia
- Japan's military gains powers it hasn't had since World War II.

• A magnitude 8.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Chile last week.
#NewsOnWikipedia
LGTM
• Burkina Faso experienced its second major political uprising in two years. #NewsOnWikipedia
Perhaps experiences? (rather then experienced) LGTM with either
• Japan won its first Rugby World Cup game since 1991... against the Springboks. #NewsOnWikipedia
Springboks is such a great word... how can you NOT want to figure out
what the hell that is when you read it... [/me had to google before responding]
*Facebook/G+:*
• Greece just held its third national vote of the year... #NewsOnWikipedia
LGTM, same slight comment as above.
• Japan has promoted legislation allowing it to fight in foreign conflicts for the first time since World War II. #NewsOnWikipedia
LGTM
• An earthquake off the coast of Chile was felt in São Paulo — more than 1,600 miles away. #NewsOnWikipedia
LGTM
• Last year, a populist movement overthrew the President of Burkina
Faso. Last week, the new President was overthrown in a coup d'état. #NewsOnWikipedia
Like this, LGTM
• Teams South Africa has lost to in a Rugby World Cup: England, New Zealand, Australia ... and now Japan. #NewsOnWikipedia
Are these the only teams they've ever lost too? Perhaps adding Only somewhere? "The only teams South Africa has lost to during a Rugby World Cup: ...."
best,
Joe
