Editing Wikipedia blog   DoneCMonterrey (WMF) (talk) 00:35, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Made a tweak to the tweet, it looks fine to me now. Regarding F/G, the first part seems a bit ambiguous. How about just:
  • F/G: The new brochure "Editing Wikipedia" covers both the "how" and the "why" of editing Wikipedia, with special focus on the things that trip up new editors most often.

En Wikivoyage (1st anniversary)   DoneCMonterrey (WMF) (talk) 21:59, 15 January 2014 (UTC) The 15th is Wikivoyage's first birthday on the WMF's servers. Any publicity to that effect would be much appreciated! --Nick talk 13:03, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest using https://www.wikivoyage.org/ instead for various reasons, but otherwise it looks fine to me. On Twitter, we could post this from @wikipedia and link to @wikivoyage (to avoid to appear self-congratulating ;). Let's wait a bit if Nick has other ideas, but otherwise let's go ahead with this.
(Nick, as you may be aware, we have been posting a lot of Wikivoyage content in recent months - would love to have your input on that: feedback, ideas on what kind of content to highlight, or specific suggestions for messages.)
Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 20:38, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! We really appreciate all the Wikivoyage content that you've posted! It's really raised our profile! The ideas above are great; if it were possible, could the WP tweet include a link to @Wikivoyage? Thanks very much! Is there somewhere we can discuss social media ideas at greater length? --Nick talk 22:14, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
