Can we also share a couple of the indivdual stories tomorrow? I want to see if we can get social interactions and clicks from jumping on the trending topics featured in the piece itself.

Please refer to my previous email, which I sent at 2:28pm PT, right after I published the story. (see below)

It includes more social media ideas to consider, as well as a proposal for trying different messages at different times.

Thanks,

Hi folks,

We just published "Space, disease and a natural disaster: this week in news on Wikipedia” on the Wikimedia blog:

https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/06/16/this-week-in-news-on-wikipedia/

Thanks to Joe for writing this story, and to everyone who helped get it ready for publication.

This news roundup is a new content experiment for the Wikimedia blog, based on content created for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Comments welcome about this new idea.

Here are our proposed social media messages. We have prepared copy in different lengths. Michael, you may want to use each version at different times, starting with one this afternoon, another one tonight and one more in the morning, featuring a single story of your choice.

Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):

• It's alive! ''Philae'' wakes up in this week's news on Wikipedia (link)

• Here are some of the global news stories covered on Wikipedia this week:

the Philae lander awakens from its comet; a MERS outbreak in South Korea kills 19; Flooding in Georgia kills 15 people; Zhou Yongkang sentenced to life in prison; Omar al-Bashir evades arrest for war crimes. What do you think about this news roundup? Please share your feedback. [link]

Social media team, now it’s your turn: what do you think about this first example? Is this type of news roundup interesting to you? Should we consider making it a weekly series? Please share your comments here or on the blog, to help us refine this idea.

Thanks for sharing this story with our community!
