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 -- *Joe Sutherland* Communications Fellow [remote] joesutherland.rocks | @jrbsu <http://twitter.com/jrbsu> | +44 (0) 7722 916 433 _______________________________________________ Social-media mailing list Social-media(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/social-media

+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?
