I can have Alex Cella look at this for a potential translation.

Any chance we'd get a french translation in the next day or two? Would be nice to share it more directly to France but obviously that's a bit weird in English.

Hey all,

We've published "Mon Dieu! Why a French novelist gave an entire year’s royalties to Wikipedia" to the blog. URL:

https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/25/novelist-royalties-wikipedia/

Many thanks to Jonathan for this post.

Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.

Twitter (@wikipedia/@wikimedia):
• Why did French novelist Antoine Bello give an entire year’s royalties to Wikipedia? https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/25/novelist-royalties-wikipedia/

I'd ping @antoinebello rather then typing out the full name. It's not verified but since he posted a tweet about the blog post I assume it's him and gives him a bit of bonus visibility. Otherwise LGTM

 

Facebook/Google+:
• "I will want to write on, say, the recent economic depression, and then I will see something that will catch my eye. And then after a few hours, I have the substance for 1-2-3 chapters of my book." https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/25/novelist-royalties-wikipedia/

 

LGTM, like the quote 

• Thank you, Antoine Bello, for keeping Wikipedia free for all to use and share. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/25/novelist-royalties-wikipedia/

I know this is a bit of a pita with Buffer but I'd also try to link his facebook page here with his name. This one IS verified and, again, has posted the post himself as well. 

thanks,
Joe
