Hey all,

I think this has been proposed before on this list, but I'm bringing it up again :)

We could potentially borrow DYK entries from Wikipedia's front page for use on social. Here's some benefits to this:

• It's cheap, and requires only the avoidance of anything controversial/potentially promotional,
• It's a good way to keep our social feeds active,
• Wikipedia articles generally do very well on social media, as Michael can attest, and
• It's a great way to get more eyes on newly improved articles, which is good for the community.

Some of them might need to be trimmed, but this is a potential one for Facebook as an example:

• that the woman in Vilhelm Hammershøi's Interior with Young Woman Seen from the Back is the painter's wife, whom he often painted facing away from the viewer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_with_Young_Woman_Seen_from_the_Back

What do we think of this? (Forgive me if we already have an answer for this!)

best,

Joe

ok, in an attempt to bump this thread to restart conversation (if any) and flag it for Jeff's thoughts I realized that there is no good way to bump the thread because almost every email you'd respond to would have different amounts of context sitting in in the quoted portions and you'd generally just be massively confused if you hadn't seen the full thread ( we were all responding to different people, cutting out/quoting different people etc). So attempting to be as fair as possible i'm just responding to Joe's email and basically restarting it :) Also for the uninitiated among the active participants (which I know includes more then just Jeff but also people like Greg who have been active but not on here then) a tldr (apologies to those who didn' t make the highlights):
