Hello to everybody!
We started a large contest of article writing on Russian Wikipedia with prizes and other bonuses from Wikimedia RU.
I just wanted to ask, is it possible to share our post [1] in Facebook via Wikipedia page but targeted only to some countries where most of Russian Wikipedia's editors mostly come from?
I've seen some conversation about geo-targetting in this list before, so, I just want to know whether it's possible.

Hi Rubin,
yes - Facebook offers targeting both per language and per location (i.e. per country; and in some countries also on a sub-country level). I have re-shared it targeted to Russian language users; for the geotargeting, which countries do you mean aside from Russia?
(We usually find that a geotargeted post reaches more users than a language-targeted one, even when a country consists almost entirely of speakers of that language. One can also select both at the same time, but unfortunately it seems that FB interprets this as "AND" - i.e. showing the post only to users who are both located in that country and have that language selected. Therefore we normally post twice, once geotargeted and once language-targeted.)

Hi and thanks!
Choosing from the counties, I would select largest countries of ex-USSR, where we still have large part of Russian-speaking people - for top5 that would be: - Russia - Ukraine - Uzbekistan - Belarus - Kazakhstan
best regards, Linar
