Yes, multi-lingual targeted by language is great. Do we have a native speaker who has approved the title and post? That would be the drawback -- posting anything we aren't sure of.

Hi Victor and Social team, Thanks for sharing it. I now confirmed the link is active. I'm very honored that it's finally published! By the way, the second-to-last paragraph has been shortened from the draft version, on which I used as a reference for translation. And the imagery showcase of still images and videos were cut in the published one. Draft: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Drafts/Develop_a_Wikipedia_Y… Published: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/01/a-wikipedia-year-in-review/ Draft: ===== For every still image you see in #Edit2014, there's probably 10 more that didn't make the final cut. It took a lot of research to find appropriate and compelling imagery. Here are a few videos I went so far as to migrate to Commons while I was looking for material that might work for #Edit2014 — hopefully you can see how ''a still frame'' of a Wikipedia article or ''a still photo'' might communicate the idea more neutrally or succinctly than portions of these freely-licensed videos could: Published: ======== For every still image you see in #Edit2014, there’s probably 10 more that didn’t make the final cut. It took a lot of research to find appropriate and compelling imagery. With this change, the translated second-to-last paragraph sounds weird. The same thing could be said in the Portuguese version. How can we fix this? Best regards, --Takashi Ota [[U:Takot]] 2015年10月6日(火) 4:52 Victor Grigas <vgrigas(a)wikimedia.org>rg>:
