Hello everyone,
This cool visualization of color <http://muyueh.com/greenhoney/> data from
Wikipedia got some coverage, specifically coverage from* Fast Company
<http://www.fastcodesign.com/3039018/infographic-of-the-day/the-semantics-of…>*.
I think it would a nice addition for our social media feeds. Yana already
has tweeted <https://twitter.com/yanatweets/status/537704579756851200> it
out too. Thanks for reviewing!
We could:
RT from @Wikipedia:
https://twitter.com/FastCoDesign/status/537667197074944002
AND/OR tweet from @Wikipedia too :

and found out, using Wikipedia:

t: Did you know that the top 3 colors in English are Blue, Green, & Pink?
Cool new Wikipedia visualization explains:

t: Red, Blue, Green are the top colors in the Chinese language, says cool
new Wikipedia visualization by @Muyueh

f/g: Do different languages have different ways to describe color? Data
scientist Muyueh Lee wanted to find out. Using the English & Chinese
Wikipedia articles for data, he came up with this eye-popping visualization
that has some interesting findings on how language shapes our perceptions.
Take a look:

f/g: "Languages represent our view of the world, and knowing its limits
help us understand how our perception works," states data scientist Muyueh
Lee, the creator of the eye-popping Wikipedia infographic that visualizes
how English and Chinese conceive colors.

See the five winners (out of more than 14,000 submissions) of
Wikimedia Venezuela's photo contest. The images will serve to better
illustrate articles about Venezuela on Wikipedia, and especially on
Wikivoyage, the free travel guide that anyone can edit.

(I believe Michael was going to send out several draft messages for
this post, and it would still be great to have more choice, also for a
double-down tweet. But since the post came out three days ago already,
it's worth getting the ball rolling.)
