What about this for Facebook? What do Madame Bovary, Green Eggs and Ham, Nineteen Eighty-Four and Fifty Shades of Gray ((or other diverse titles)) have in common? They were banned by governments. As Banned Books Week wraps up, here's a list of famous books that authorities tried to stamp out -- a reminder of the importance of free information for all. And then I could post in the comments a few of Victor's awesome quotes. For Twitter, I love this: "I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin." #BraveNewWorld #bannedbooksweek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_banned_by_governments ((I cut God from the beginning because, well... she can lead to all kinds of discussions. : ) ) Jeff Elder Digital communications manager Wikimedia Foundation 704-650-4130 @jeffelder <https://twitter.com/JeffElder> @wikipedia <https://twitter.com/wikipedia> The Wikimedia blog <https://blog.wikimedia.org/> On Fri, Oct 2, 2015 at 9:41 AM, Joe Sutherland < jsutherland(a)wikimedia.org&gt; wrote: > Oh, ignore me - looks like that account isn't in Buffer.

It's a good point, Joe. I did the main page for those unfamiliar with Wikiquote because it is, as Ed noted, a hat tip to an under-loved project. This is also now up: https://www.facebook.com/wikipedia/posts/10153569209628346 Michael and I worked on it here. It's just a status update, not a link post. The Facebook algorithm (and perhaps our fans) rank this higher. The link is in a comment. I will post a few wikiquotes in the comments later on.
