Looking to post this on Facebook early tomorrow. Thoughts? On this day in 1964, the Rev. Martin Luther King became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. In this public domain image from Wikimedia Commons, he waves to the crowd from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., where he delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech.

Should we post this question on our Facebook page? In a recent video experiment it seemed to resonate with people. Have you ever used Wikipedia to settle a bet or resolve an argument? Did you win? What do you think? -- Jeff Elder Digital communications manager Wikimedia Foundation 704-650-4130 @jeffelder <https://twitter.com/JeffElder> @wikipedia <https://twitter.com/wikipedia> The Wikimedia blog <https://blog.wikimedia.org/>
