See the summary by Kim Osman in the new edition of the research
newsletter https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/08/03/research-newsletter-july-2015/
or read the full paper (linked there). It's a bit separate from what
we are doing here (it concerns tweets directly linking to Wikipedia
content, rather than to content about Wikipedia and the movement), but
should still be of interest.
The study is going to be presented at OpenSym later this month; I'll
make sure to attend the talk - let me know in case you can think of
particular questions about the paper that it might be worth asking the
researcher there.

Many thanks to Ed and Victoria for this post.
Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.
*Twitter (@wikipedia/@wikimedia):*
• "This is the epitome of a bad-boy bishop."
• Monroe Edwards was a modern-day Catch Me If You Can, albeit much less
successful.
• Han van Meegeren once sold a forged painting to a Nazi high official.
• That time when they paid thousands for a single tulip bulb.
• How much would you pay for a tulip bulb?

Thanks @choire for finding sorting out the 40,000 Wikipedia pages we'll
