Thanks to Ed for writing the story and Fabrice and Joe for editing.
Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.
*Twitter:*
• He deployed with @AustralianArmy to Bosnia. Now, editing #Wikipedia helps him understand the brutality he witnessed: <link>
• This veteran writes for #Wikipedia to help him understand what he witnessed there: <link>
• A veteran learning how to edit #Wikipedia in a highly charged topic area—the wartime history of the Balkans: <link>
*Facebook/Google+:*
• He deployed with the AustralianArmy to Bosnia in 1995. Now, editing Wikipedia helps him understand the brutality he witnessed.
• His most potent memory comes from one of his first patrols. The platoon was speaking with suspected looters when they came across a farmer shot dead, his hayfork still alongside. "We just came across him ... so we were unprepared. I still remember it clearly, but because I photographed it in black and white, I remember it in black and white."
Thanks,
As the veteran angle will play a larger role in the US, I'm hoping that the first Twitter and first Facebook posts (as listed above) could be targeted and boosted at the US and Australia, along with links to the Twitter and Facebook profiles of the Australian Army: < https://twitter.com/australianarmy%3E and < https://www.facebook.com/TheAustralianArmy%3E.
Is that possible, Michael? Thanks everyone!

Hi Ed:
Yes we can hyper target post by location (even city FYI). Twitter I don't have the ability to target tweets.

Ah, no worries—perhaps that tweet could go out whenever the US is most active on Twitter then (I assume now/the evening? I'm not up to date with my social media usage research...).
If possible, I'd also like to have multiple rounds of social media for this story—in part because I think we can post multiple times about the same stories to get more traffic, but also because I'd like to see what kind of language plays best for these posts! I know that you're pretty busy with your other work, so if needed I'm willing to help where I can.

Hi Ed,
For Twitter, I can get it out early tomorrow morning.
Yes, we also want to typically push blog stories more than once and it has come up. I'll schedule these more than once according to our optimal follower traffic ( we have the most traffic between the hours of 7-9am PDT on Facebook; Twitter is similar.
Actually, mornings are best for our social media accounts, based on post/tweet reach and average follower volume.
I'll get these out now and again tomorrow morning (and Saturday morning).

Ah, no worries—perhaps that tweet could go out whenever the US is most active on Twitter then (I assume now/the evening? I'm not up to date with my social media usage research...).
If possible, I'd also like to have multiple rounds of social media for this story—in part because I think we can post multiple times about the same stories to get more traffic, but also because I'd like to see what kind of language plays best for these posts! I know that you're pretty busy with your other work, so if needed I'm willing to help where I can.

We're gonna push this again (along with some other things) over the weekend.
Other ideas: we could pitch this to our other movement affiliates blogs. This is pretty good quality piece, Ed - I think we could pitch this to more than just war blogs actually.

I've already asked them! The Signpost is going to run it this week, though, so the Bugle isn't going to jump on too. Wikimedia Australia already promoted it with their social media, and while there *is *a Serbian chapter, this is more about Bosnia.
@Michael, thanks. If you want me to propose more messaging ideas, just ask!

Michael,
For this weekend's social promotion, as requested:
- The platoon was speaking with suspected looters when they came across a farmer shot dead, his hayfork still alongside. "We just came across him ... so we were unprepared. I still remember it clearly, but because I photographed it in black and white, I remember it in black and white." - When the opportunity arose and power shifted, there were always those that were willing to exploit it for their own profit, to take revenge or eliminate the potential opposition—usually on the powerless and defenceless. [that's a shortened version of the original quote. If you need ellipses, they go after "shifted"] - Understanding war through writing #Wikipedia: <link> - Understanding World War II's impact on this veteran's 1995 deployment to Bosnia: <link>

As the veteran angle will play a larger role in the US, I'm hoping that the first Twitter and first Facebook posts (as listed above) could be targeted and boosted at the US and Australia, along with links to the Twitter and Facebook profiles of the Australian Army: < https://twitter.com/australianarmy%3E and < https://www.facebook.com/TheAustralianArmy%3E.
Is that possible, Michael? Thanks everyone!

We just published "A veteran’s Wikipedia edits help him understand the brutality behind Yugoslavia’s wars" to the blog. URL:

• He deployed with the AustralianArmy to Bosnia in 1995. Now, editing Wikipedia helps him understand the brutality he witnessed.
• His most potent memory comes from one of his first patrols. The platoon was speaking with suspected looters when they came across a farmer shot dead, his hayfork still alongside.

Michael,
For this weekend's social promotion, as requested:
- The platoon was speaking with suspected looters when they came
across a farmer shot dead, his hayfork still alongside. "We just came across him ... so we were unprepared. I still remember it clearly, but because I photographed it in black and white, I remember it in black and white."
- When the opportunity arose and power shifted, there were always
those that were willing to exploit it for their own profit, to take revenge or eliminate the potential opposition—usually on the powerless and defenceless. [that's a shortened version of the original quote. If you need ellipses, they go after "shifted"]

I've already asked them! The Signpost is going to run it this week, though, so the Bugle isn't going to jump on too. Wikimedia Australia already promoted it with their social media, and while there *is *a Serbian chapter, this is more about Bosnia.
@Michael, thanks. If you want me to propose more messaging ideas, just ask!
