Where to post

The newsletter will be shared on the mailing list WikimediaAnnounce-l as well as from our accounts on Facebook and Twitter and in the environmental network on Wikimedia Space. On Facebook, we can also share those posts to groups like Wikipedia Weekly and Wikimedia Foundation social media hub. When posting on Twitter, it might be worth tagging some accounts that are mentioned in the newsletter.
