Should we open up our Facebook wall to posts from fans on Wednesdays? Heather W asked. We can set it so that we get notifications when people post before they appear, so we can gate-keep. We could have a theme for the day: Post an article you edited or especially like, etc.
Posters would probably get a LOT of attention on Facebook, so we might need to warn them about that.
We don't need to decide now.

Interesting concept. Are there any liability concerns if WMF is actively gatekeeping? Might want to check with Legal. If Legal is OK with it, sounds like a good risk.

I'd say be mindful about igniting past controversies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedia_controversies, or starting new ones. Gate-keeping sounds like a possible solution.

At the same time, you don't want to be accused of censorship—even if the post references a past controversy.

Yes, good point Ed. This is bringing to mind some of the trickier editorial decisions we had at the Signpost, the mere memory of which gives me a headache. I still like the concept, though. Maybe try limiting the number of posts that get through to a set number, and minimize the public discussions about why any one post is choosen over others?
