Hi Jeff (switching topic back to the thread about TAFI),
Coin945 (who posted these suggestions) is now subscribed to this list and can thus answer your question directly. But I think the matter was simply that the drafts had been copied over from Wikipedia to Meta without adjusting links, e.g. the first one was intended to link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_horror instead of https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comedy_horror&action=edit&a... .

I thought these tweets were to encourage people who were just getting their feet wet editing.

It could help with organization and preparation of content.

Hi,
as I summarized two months ago on this list in another context, back in 2013/14 we collaborated with the "Today's Article for Improvement" team on the English Wikipedia, posting social media invitations to edit improve articles from this community-curated list.
User:Coin945 has just started an attempt to revive this (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Today%27s_articles_for_improvem... ) and already posted some ideas at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Social_media/Calendar#October . I'm passing this on to this list as not everyone might watch the Meta-wiki pages. As mentioned earlier, the experiment back them left me wondering how to best achieve impact (in form of actual edits caused by those posts), but perhaps the current SM team has some new ideas.

This discussion thread is very confusing to navitage, but I think I've read it all now (albeit out of order).
To answer Jeff's question: yes, the links are supposed to link to the Wikipedia pages, not the Wikimedia pages (which are understandably redlinks).
One of the two main purposes of TAFI is to encourage newbies to become editors through interesting articles on important topics that still shockingly have underwhelming articles; this challenges the perceived notion that "all the good topics have already been written about".
This social media collaboration was fantastic in intriguing people throguh witty and engaging statuses that aimed to encourage passers-by to stop, consider, and then perhaps gfo to the link and hit "edit".
We had great success with this in the past, and I would love to get things rolling again. This is part of a recent push I've been doing, which includes starting up the discussion of whether TAFI could ever return to the main page.

That's good news. :)
So I guess I'll make the first proposal:
- T/I: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Improve *comedy horror*, today's #wikiTAFI. - F/G: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Add sources and improve content at *comedy horror*, today's #wikiTAFI.
(The "Comedy horror" article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_horror - would be added as a link afterwards).
The TAFI article changes every Monday, so after this status update, the next one will take place in 3 days.

To answer Jeff's question: yes, the links are supposed to link to the Wikipedia pages, not the Wikimedia pages (which are understandably redlinks).
One of the two main purposes of TAFI is to encourage newbies to become editors through interesting articles on important topics that still shockingly have underwhelming articles; this challenges the perceived notion that "all the good topics have already been written about".
This social media collaboration was fantastic in intriguing people throguh witty and engaging statuses that aimed to encourage passers-by to stop, consider, and then perhaps gfo to the link and hit "edit".
We had great success with this in the past, and I would love to get things rolling again. This is part of a recent push I've been doing, which includes starting up the discussion of whether TAFI could ever return to the main page.

Hi Jeff (switching topic back to the thread about TAFI),
Coin945 (who posted these suggestions) is now subscribed to this list and can thus answer your question directly.

I'd like to get this up today because of Halloween. Not sure that hashtag will mean much to folks. I only see one tweet using it, from more than two years ago. What about?
Wikipedia editors - or those wanting to get started - the comedy horror genre needs your help. Get spooky! http://buff.ly/1WnWeL3

So I guess I'll make the first proposal:
- T/I: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Improve *comedy
horror*, today's #wikiTAFI.
- F/G: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Add sources and
improve content at *comedy horror*, today's #wikiTAFI.
(The "Comedy horror" article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_horror - would be added as a link afterwards).
The TAFI article changes every Monday, so after this status update, the next one will take place in 3 days.

That's good news. :)
So I guess I'll make the first proposal:
- T/I: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Improve *comedy
horror*, today's #wikiTAFI.
- F/G: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Add sources and
improve content at *comedy horror*, today's #wikiTAFI.
(The "Comedy horror" article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_horror - would be added as a link afterwards).
The TAFI article changes every Monday, so after this status update, the next one will take place in 3 days.

This discussion thread is very confusing to navitage, but I think I've read it all now (albeit out of order).
To answer Jeff's question: yes, the links are supposed to link to the Wikipedia pages, not the Wikimedia pages (which are understandably redlinks).
One of the two main purposes of TAFI is to encourage newbies to become editors through interesting articles on important topics that still shockingly have underwhelming articles; this challenges the perceived notion that "all the good topics have already been written about".
This social media collaboration was fantastic in intriguing people throguh witty and engaging statuses that aimed to encourage passers-by to stop, consider, and then perhaps gfo to the link and hit "edit".
We had great success with this in the past, and I would love to get things rolling again. This is part of a recent push I've been doing, which includes starting up the discussion of whether TAFI could ever return to the main page.

The idea with the #wikiTAFI hashtag is actually to create a brand new hashtag.
The old one (#TAFI) wasn't unique to Wikipedia so it wasn't very effective. The fact that nobody else uses #wikiTAFI is a massive plus to us.

I think TAFI should have been tweeted from @Wikipedia, given it's exclusively a Wikipedia thing and not a movement thing.

So I guess I'll make the first proposal:
- T/I: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Improve *comedy
horror*, today's #wikiTAFI.
- F/G: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Add sources
and improve content at *comedy horror*, today's #wikiTAFI.
(The "Comedy horror" article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_horror - would be added as a link afterwards).
The TAFI article changes every Monday, so after this status update, the next one will take place in 3 days.

That's good news. :)
So I guess I'll make the first proposal:
- T/I: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Improve *comedy
horror*, today's #wikiTAFI.
- F/G: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Add sources
and improve content at *comedy horror*, today's #wikiTAFI.
(The "Comedy horror" article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_horror - would be added as a link afterwards).
The TAFI article changes every Monday, so after this status update, the next one will take place in 3 days.

As I explained before, the idea is to create a new hashtag, that all the TAFI statuses can be linked to. That is the reason it is not in general use; it is being created by us.
If you think the wording is unclear, you are more than welcome to tweak/rewrite the statuses I offered. :)

Hi Coin,
I held off on these because I'm not sure people will know what they mean. Saying visit the article and giving a hashtag not in general use is a bit unclear. That's why last time I rewrote to: Wikipedia editors - or those wanting to get started...

We're already 1 day behind schedule. Can we get these statuses posted?

Hey Coin,
Out of curiosity, are these posts getting the desired results you're looking for? The followings of the Wikimedia social media accounts are very heavily tilted towards readers, not editors, so I'm curious to know if these posts are having any measurable impacts. You might be better off writing an opinion article (or short blurb) for the Signpost, which has a much greater community following.
Best, --Ed

If you think the wording is unclear, you are more than welcome to tweak/rewrite the statuses I offered. :)

Certainly—"Wikimedia" applies to all of the accounts—but the Wikipedia accounts in particular will have the worst percentage of editors to readers.

Hey Coin,
Out of curiosity, are these posts getting the desired results you're looking for? The followings of the Wikimedia social media accounts are very heavily tilted towards readers, not editors, so I'm curious to know if these posts are having any measurable impacts. You might be better off writing an opinion article (or short blurb) for the Signpost, which has a much greater community following.
Best, --Ed

As I explained before, the idea is to create a new hashtag, that all the TAFI statuses can be linked to. That is the reason it is not in general use; it is being created by us.
If you think the wording is unclear, you are more than welcome to tweak/rewrite the statuses I offered. :)

Hi Coin,
I held off on these because I'm not sure people will know what they mean. Saying visit the article and giving a hashtag not in general use is a bit unclear. That's why last time I rewrote to: Wikipedia editors - or those wanting to get started...

We're already 1 day behind schedule. Can we get these statuses posted?

All I can say is, it was very successful last one through the Wikipedia FB/T/G+ accounts.
The great thing is that we find a substantial reader-to-editor rate because experts in the TAFI topic, or those who find it interesting, will get involved.

Certainly—"Wikimedia" applies to all of the accounts—but the Wikipedia accounts in particular will have the worst percentage of editors to readers.

Hey Coin,
Out of curiosity, are these posts getting the desired results you're looking for? The followings of the Wikimedia social media accounts are very heavily tilted towards readers, not editors, so I'm curious to know if these posts are having any measurable impacts. You might be better off writing an opinion article (or short blurb) for the Signpost, which has a much greater community following.
Best, --Ed

As I explained before, the idea is to create a new hashtag, that all the TAFI statuses can be linked to. That is the reason it is not in general use; it is being created by us.
If you think the wording is unclear, you are more than welcome to tweak/rewrite the statuses I offered. :)

Hi Coin,
I held off on these because I'm not sure people will know what they mean. Saying visit the article and giving a hashtag not in general use is a bit unclear. That's why last time I rewrote to: Wikipedia editors - or those wanting to get started...
