[Wikimedia-l] Getting Wikipedia whitelisted for Twitter DMs

For some months, Twitter have been blocking most URLs in their direct messages (DMs), supposedly as an anti-spam measure. Do we have someone who has a contact there, who could ask them to whitelist Wikimedia project URLs in DMs? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk

[Wikimedia-l] Asking Google to output Wikipedia citation format in Scholar

2014-08-03 Thread Andy Mabbett
Google Scholar search results each have a cite link, which generates citation text to copy-and-paste in three formats (MLA, APA, Chicago). Is there someone at Google we can talk to, to get Wikipedia's citation format included? For English-language users (or results), the {{Cite journal}}
