Hello Tomasz and everyone else
according to https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaBG.htm the number of active editors has raised by 19% in January, but it might as well be because there were Christmas holidays in December. I do not believe we have enough data to make a good quantitative analysis.
Something else we organised was a weekly "wikigame" – we asked a question on social media and Wikipedia every day and the person who answered the most questions correctly got a book for up to 15 Euro (the price of a pretty good paperback edition of books, which can be used as sources). That lead to a few new editors and a few new articles. I believe social media have a potential and we will see that during CEE Spring. The themes were Olympic games, football, art, history of Bulgaria and geography.
Best regards, Nikola

Indonesian Wikipedia has used site notice to link to their Facebook group, Twitter, and Instagram for years.
Their facebook page has 97,236 likes. https://www.facebook.com/id.wiki posts often get 100 likes
compare with Wikimedia Commons page, with 2,793 likes, and posts usually attract < 10 likes. https://www.facebook.com/Wikimedia.Commons/

Hey Rodrigo,
I don't know of any example where Site Notice has been used in the past
to
point people to facebook.
Although the intentions behind what is being proposed are good ones, I think there are probably issues that surround neutrality and with the
very
different privacy policy of facebook.
Based on those things alone it is not something I would recommend. I
would
be happy to follow up with you further off list if you would like to discuss this further.

Hello fellows!
Since the end of the last year some contributors from pt.wikipedia are discussing regarding the idea of including the promotion of our Facebook Page on site Notice [1]
That proposal was started by Teles, a Brazilian steward. He received a
lot
of local support.
The general idea is to bring more people from Facebook to access
Wikipedia
through our Facebook page, but what we are doing is redirecting users
from
pt.wikipedia to Facebook and including a free Facebook ads on
pt.wikipedia.
I would like to know if it is ok for the Wikimedia Movement and if this kind of Facebook promotional campaign was proposed and published in
other
wikipedias/wikimedia projects.
