[WikiX-l] Fwd: Fwd: W10 Media Advisory: Posted Tomorrow

[Itzik Edri]

Yes Elisardo,

You can translate, send that and add local information (like where your
events would take place, and the contact person).

I don't know if it relevant to you, but if you have wikimedia chapter in
your country, I will recommend you to be in touch with the press contact
before sending that...
