Hello,
The Digital Media team at the Wikimedia Foundation is currently updating
our information about movement social media accounts so that we can share
best practices, send out information about upcoming campaigns, and ensure
that we're amplifying messaging that's coming out from accounts across the
movement.
Could you please let us know:
a) What active accounts your affiliate uses on Facebook, Twitter, and any
other social media networks?
b) Who runs those accounts?
c) Are there any other Wikimedia-related accounts you’ve managed in the
past that are now inactive?
We're in the process of sending out biweekly emails to the Communications
Committee mailing list (wmfcc-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org) and want to make sure
that we're reaching everyone who is using social media to move our movement
forward.
Thanks! Please let us know if you have any questions, using
digitalmedia(a)wikimedia.org, which reaches the entire team.

To: Zanni Andrea <zanni.andrea84(a)gmail.com>
Hello Andrea
We are excited to inform you that we have officially passed a significant
milestone in the Wikimedia movement this week: having 100 user groups!!
To celebrate, we'd like to propose that each user group post a short
message on social media on *Friday 19 October 2018. *
To participate please post a unique fact about Wikisource Community User
Group on your social media account, using the hashtag *#100usergroups. *
We will then amplify some of these messages into the @wikimedia account.
Thank you!

Hi there!
In the Esperanto Wikisource we have get a licensing problem. Can you help
us, please?
In the Esperanto User Group we have successfully advocated at the World
Esperanto Association to free their press communications, so we can put
them into Esperanto Wikisource. I have putted the first one as a test [1]
but was alerted about possible license incompatibility.
The material is under CC BY 4.0 but Wikisource is using CC BY-SA 3.0. (so
the problem is the version number) The argument is, that CC licenses are
"forward compatible" but not "retro compatible". So it is OK to put CC BY
3.0 material into CC BY 4.0 repository, but not the opposite.
In the meantime I have found, that another Wikisources are collecting
materials under CC BY 4.0, like
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Category:CC_attribution_4.0
If it is OK to use CC BY 4.0 material in Wikisource, can you make some
short legal reasoning so I can inform the Esperanto community? (and if it
is not OK, we should think about the content already in use, like the
linked one upper)
