Good morning,

Just to clarify the 16th celebration, what I meant by 'our day' is it is our day. Today is our day as Wikipedians. 

However today is more about social media outreach. The coming Saturday/Sunday is the party & editathon bit which Georgina is handling.


Social media plans

Like I mentioned earlier basically let's go online and make 'noise' with the hashtag #HappyBirthdayWikipedia. The are other hashtags going around though.

Here are some of the thoughts you can add to your posts and tweets:

– Suggest a Wikipedia page that doesn't exist yet with the hashtag #HappyBirthdayWikipedia to request that it gets created.

– Does any piece of information need a fix? Use the hashtag to request a fix so a Wikipedian can take it from there.

– Say thank you to Wikipedia if you want to and add the hashtag to your message.

– Have a meme? Share and add the hashtag.

– What was your first Wikipedia edited or created?

In fact anything you'd like to say, just do with the hashtag.

This week, Tech & Social Media trends on Citi FM breakfast show may pick it and talk about it.

Editathon

On Saturday there'll be an editathon. If Georgina is able to, she'll host the party afterwards.


I hope we are reflecting on how Wikipedia is helping the world of knowledge and also giving some of us worthy causes to dedicate our time to, plus a wonderful community to be a part of.

Happy 16th and best wishes!
