Thanks, Michael!

I find it interesting that the first entry on Facebook is about the Marquis de 
Sade ...

Some of our followers have devious minds :)

I just emailed @wmfstaff, @editorengagement, @multimedia and @commons.

Let’s see what we get overnight, and we can ping a few more folks over the 
weekend or on Monday, as needed.

Look forward to learning together :)

Have a great weekend!


Fabrice


P.S.: Victor, yes, I will translate the blog post into French tomorrow, as you 
suggest :)

Does anyone want to put up the wiki page for translation?

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Love_on_the_wikis

I’m still not sure how to do that properly …
