Facebook sanitises their users' referers. There's no research and engagement work to perform there.
well facebook surely has this data. (both views of Wikipedia content and probably also clicks of edit buttons) we could ask them about sharing it.
We could even create a prominent "who brought editors to Wikipedia" dashboard. And if Facebook shares with us verifiable data, we can use it as an incentive for google to add an Edit button in their Knowledge graph (because then they'd get a spot on our spiffy dashboard). Of course, we'd put a bit "this is all self reported data", etc. as a disclaimer at the bottom.
