Hello Everyone,
I created some social for one of Jimmy Wales blog posts that Michael found.

Below are some proposed messages. Tweak as needed.
Tweet structure:

“In order to protect the most fundamental rights of Internet users, we must
always be skeptical of any call for regulation.” @jimmy_wales #rights
“When considering the issue of regulating the Internet, we must not
overlook the possible harmful implications of even seemingly minor
regulation.” @jimmy_wales #rights
“When the Internet connects the world to a small global village, human
rights violations are less likely to hide unnoticed in the dark.”

The internet's rapid development was possible due to its unregulated
nature. Regulation creates limitation and less freedom. “Current regulation
must be carefully and durably observed for any unnoticed expansion of its
implementation.” Jimmy Wales
To protect Fundamental Rights, users must be skeptical of any regulation.

Hi social media people,
Do you think there would be interest in a blog post of photos submitted by
Wikimedia affiliates from their uploads to Commons? This wouldn't be a
competition, just a collection of photos that affiliates may want to share
and/or show off.

Hi Michael and social media elves,
We just published a profile of Johnson Oludeinde, who is using Wikipedia to expose corruption in Nigeria, on the Wikimedia blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/04/08/fighting-corruption-johnson-oludeinde/
Thanks to Victor, Yoona and Joe for helping prepare that story. :)
We propose the following social media messaging:
Twitter:
* Fight corruption with Wikipedia: Join Johnson Oludeinde Oluata to prevent injustice through shared knowledge.
* "This world will be better if we all have knowledge." Meet Johnson Oludeinde Oluata
Facebook/Google+:
* Meet Johnson Oludeinde, who is exposing corruption in Nigeria by writing Wikipedia articles on this important issue. He invites you to join him to prevent injustice through shared knowledge.
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/04/08/fighting-corruption-johnson-oludeinde/ <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/04/08/fighting-corruption-johnson-oludeinde/>
Feel free to tweak as you see fit.
Michael, the social media can wait until the morning, if you like. I published it early, because several of us will be tied up in tomorrow’s daylong product offsite.
At your suggestion, I changed the copy a bit, so it is different from the photo caption — which is what people will see below the image on the Facebook card. Thanks for pointing out this issue! :)
Thanks for sharing!
Fabrice

PHP, for all its flaws, is perfect for getting started. #php

haunted house whose residents have come to love the ghosts.”

Wikipedia would like to thank PHP for allowing us to display hieroglyphics
on Egyptology pages and handling sheet music.
context:PHP allowed people who weren’t—or were barely—software engineers to
contribute new features. It’s how Wikipedia entries came to display
hieroglyphics on Egyptology pages, for instance, and handle sheet music.
Wikipedia has come a long way, but we never forget our roots. PHP has been
our backbone and the driving force behind our free knowledge movement.
