Great change, Joe. For the Twitter status, perhaps a simple question like "How will #Wikipedia preserve its citations for future generations?" or "How would you preserve #Wikipedia citations for the future? Geoffrey Bilder has one solution:" would get more engagement? I'm open to thoughts/improvements/contradictory arguments on those.

I'd go for, instead of "relies on many linked references", "relies on many online references". I've edited that below. Otherwise LGTM!

Thanks to Yoona and Victor for writing, Fabrice and Ed for editing, and Jan Novak for interviewing.
Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.
*Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):*
• Preserving Wikipedia's citations for the future: Geoffrey Bilder wants to stop hyperlinks from “rotting” (link)
*Facebook/Google+:*
• Geoffrey Bilder is working to prevent the death of hyperlinks, also known as "link rot". The average lifespan of a hyperlink is around six years—a problem for a site like Wikipedia, which relies on many online references. (link)
Thanks,
