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

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.
Regards
