Hey all, here is some proposed social for the newly-published post on the Zika virus:
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/03/11/volunteers-zika-virus/
Twitter: • Volunteer editors work to educate the public on the Zika virus as it spreads throughout the Americas. http://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/03/11/volunteers-zika-virus/
Facebook: • We spoke to two editors who've made around 200 edits between them to the English Wikipedia's article on the outbreak. http://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/03/11/volunteers-zika-virus/
best, Joe
Like them both (and good article!) only quibble for the Twitter one would be perhaps a 'how' at the start? ("How volunteer editors work..." ) not necessary but sounds a bit better in my head.
For the facebook one I like the added depth but kinda like the draw from the twitter post? Maybe combine the two? "How volunteer editors work to educate the public on the Zika virus as it spreads throughout the Americas. We spot to two editors who've made around 200 combined edits to the English Wikipedia article on the outbreak." ?

+1 to James' suggestions. This is a remarkable post, Joe. You're explaining how Wikipedia is helping people grasp an ongoing medical threat. Gtreat job. I would recommend we post the Facebook early Sunday morning -- our strongest time -- and tweet the link twice on Sunday. One tweet can have the video in it and be shorter:
How volunteer editors are working to educate the public on the #Zika virus. http://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/03/11/volunteers-zika-virus/
Michael, is that doable for you?

Has anyone asked James/Osmosis if we can use upload the video on social media? If not, let's get on that asap.
