I remember Ed, Joe, Michael, and I sat down to clean that page up back in July (archive old information, add useful links for content).
I have thought about the idea of utilizing this page more. We could asking for social content from the whole movement like we do for blog posts ( maybe even translations ;) ).
Of course we are already asking for (and getting) social content from the whole movement with this list. See also the list description at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/social-media . That said, some community members might prefer posting on a wiki.
As a reminder, in August there was already some discussion about reviving the Meta page (in the same thread); here is my takeaway from that on why the parallel wiki/mailing list process didn't quite work out back in 2013/14 and what might be required to make it work: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/social-media/2015-August/003211.html
It could help with organization and preparation of content.
Thoughts?

Hi,
as I summarized two months ago https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/social-media/2015-August/003213.html on this list in another context, back in 2013/14 we collaborated with the "Today's Article for Improvement" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Today%27s_articles_for_improvement team on the English Wikipedia, posting social media invitations to edit improve articles from this community-curated list.
User:Coin945 has just started an attempt to revive this (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Today%27s_articles_for_improvem... ) and already posted some ideas at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Social_media/Calendar#October . I'm passing this on to this list as not everyone might watch the Meta-wiki pages. As mentioned earlier, the experiment back them left me wondering how to best achieve impact (in form of actual edits caused by those posts), but perhaps the current SM team has some new ideas.
