Hello Everyone, We just published "A veteran’s Wikipedia edits help him understand the brutality behind Yugoslavia’s wars" to the blog. URL: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/06/18/understanding-yugoslavia-wars-on-wiki… 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."

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

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> and < https://www.facebook.com/TheAustralianArmy>gt;. Is that possible, Michael?

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> --Ed On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 2:39 PM, Ed Erhart &lt;eerhart(a)wikimedia.org&gt; wrote: > I've already asked them!
