Hi folks,
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’ve published two new stories on the Wikimedia Blog, for your enjoyment:
Love on the wikis Here are our favorite articles and images about love, collectively hand-picked by community members.
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/13/love-on-the-wikis/
A WikiLove story How two Wikipedians fell in love while volunteering in Israel, thanks to a shared passion for knowledge.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to our community-curated love collection! All your fine suggestions broadened our perspectives about love. Together, we found some really well-written, factual and nuanced articles, as well as many humorous, dramatic or beautiful images, which gave us a better understanding about love and why it matters.
What do you think about this curation experiment? Did you learn anything new? Should we do it again? If so, what themes should we focus on next? Please chime in the comments of the first story above, with your ideas and suggestions.
We hope that collaborations like these can help us discover new ways to share useful information, combining the wikis, our blog and social media.
Thanks again for sharing the love — and Happy Valentine's Day to all Wikimedians!

Thanks for putting this together! I really like when we can highlight some of the beautiful content we have, particularly media on Commons. :-)
What do you think about this curation experiment?
It's cute, but probably as a once a year kind of thing.

Thanks Fabrice.
I would be interested in an office hour about social media strategy in general. Do you think that an office hour could be arranged?
The office hour discussion could inform future curations, as well as editor engagement and reader engagement efforts.

Actually ...
It is celebrated at different times in the year, in various parts of the world.
And the Eastern Orthodox Church officially celebrates it twice. ;-)

I'd suggest that you look at something more culturally neutral, such as the International Day of Peace https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q327632. And, of course, you must celebrate Singles Awareness Day https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7524060 next year!
