Morning Douglas Not sure if you're the person to talk to, but there is a promoted post on facebook for next week's capacity building workshop. I was very interested until I realised that it's in JHB. I'm sure that you can set location targeting on an event thereby only showing the post to relevant users. Kind regards Adri

Countries influencing trusted content
by Ian Gilfillan 09 May '18

Hi This is probably most relevant to Afrikaans Wikipedia users - there's a project on the Finnish Wikipedia to map edits to find out which countries have had most influence on trusted content. I'd be interested to see results locally if someone has the time and interest to follow up. https://twitter.com/Alrahambra/status/993980815091609600 ian

The video re-enforces our message that this block is a lost opportunity both for the people of Turkey and the rest of the world. Any assistance that you all can offer in terms of helping circulate the video amongst your networks would be greatly appreciated!
