If you're tweeting from @wikimedia that wouldn't do, of course. We could probably do "the Foundation" though?

so, would not using "@Wikimedia Foundation" suffice?

That's a good workaround. I'd be wary of upsetting the community (there are at least some of them who dislike the usage of "Wikimedia" to refer to the Foundation alone), but this seems a rare enough occurance :)

I usually use @Wikimedia as that handle is then defined "The official account of the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that operates @Wikipedia." Would work for tweets from @Wikipedia. Not sure if that would be weird coming from @Wikimedia :)

Sure, can do. The counter argument to that is that we probably shouldn't use "Wikimedia" to refer to the Foundation, since really it refers to the whole movement. We can use Wikimedia Foundation, though.

Nice! If we are doing a second tweet about this, I'd advise against abbreviating "Wikimedia" as "WMF" as it's not very well-known outside a small circle of people.

I think avoiding tags (in favour of using an image) would be the best idea. Tweets with images I believe tend to do better anyway. Thoughts?

I tend to agree more tweets would be better from us :) A multi-tweet sounds like a good compromise.

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.
