That’s a very good point of course, Charles. We do need to frame this toward
the event and not toward Wikipedia itself to avoid that particular pitfall.

Great idea Dario - I occasionally schedule posts for known events (such as
elections, major sporting events, or national holidays) - but breaking news -
such as the Sydney siege - I held off, in case it looked like an attempt to
take advantage of a tragic event for self promotion.
Having said that, the (traditional) news organisations do it all the time...

It would be really cool if we could proactively use our social media presence
to cover Wikimedia’s response to breaking news events [1], especially given the
attention WMF put on major events in Victor’s video. I see potential POV issues
with the choice of what topics to cover, but we’re missing a huge opportunity
when we don’t celebrate in a timely way what Wikimedians are accomplishing.
