Great idea! The matter doesn't seem confidential, so how about CC'ing the social media list? On Thu, May 21, 2015 at 1:30 PM, Michael Guss <mguss(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Hello everyone, The Guggathon was a great opportunity for new users to come aboard and

learn

about Wikipedia and how Wikipedia interacts with the real world. The Guggenheim, as you may have read, was so great as to release digital

In case you have not seen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Guggenheim_Museum So, I want to update our old coverphotos on our Facebook, G+ accounts; we could even update our Twitter profiles (@wikicommons, @wikipedia, etc.)

I like this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GUGG_Birsk.jpg Question: What aspect ratio is the banner on Facebook? Maybe we could photoshop a montage of these into there? On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 3:46 PM, Juliet Barbara <jbarbara(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Checked on this: The cover photo will display at 851px wide by 315 px high; If we want to use smaller it needs to be at least 399px wide and 150px high. We can use a software called "Lightroom" from Adobe Photoshop to generate professional looking collages for our cover photo: http://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/facebook-cover-photo-collage-l… http://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/images-photos-facebook-sizes-d… http://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/facebook-cover-photo-size On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 12:51 PM, Victor Grigas <vgrigas(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

I can help make the image in Photoshop. As professional as we want it :).

I'd rather see individual works and not collage. It makes attribution more simple (nice to give even for public domain) and gives us more future updates ;) On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 7:58 PM, Andrew Sherman <asherman(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:
