I'm not sure its really a dark side, so much as a downside. Dark sides
conjure up human rights abuses. Downsides are frustrating setbacks. Can we
adjust?

I updated the blog post as well.

Hi Ed - my reasoning is that something has an impact *on* something, not
*to* something, so it didn’t make a lot of sense. But it’s just a little
nitpick really!

Hi all,
I'm fine with that change. I thought that it might be interpreted as John
Oliver editing Wikipedia himself, that's all.
I'll send a fuller email tomorrow to introduce myself, but I'm happy to
help anyone who has questions about the Wikimedia community! Please feel
free to email me at any time.

Yeah, I’m having second thoughts about that too
… Ed, would you mind if
we used the wording which Joe suggests? It just doesn’t seem right as it is.
Other than that, I’m really glad that we published this piece, and am
very grateful to Ed for adapting it for the blog.
This is as good a time as any to welcome Ed as our new content editor for
the blog and community profiles for the summer.
Welcome aboard, Ed! We look forward to learning from your experience as
editor emeritus on the Signpost and doing some great work together. :)

Surely this should be "...'fowl' jokes *on* Wikipedia" (not
"to")?
Otherwise LGTM, except I'd go with this for FB/G+ (or similar):
- When John Oliver called on the Internet to edit the Wikipedia
biographies of US congressional representatives, the Internet answered --
and Wikipedia's volunteer editors started to clean up the vandalism. (link)
best,

Hello Everyone,
We just published "A dark side of comedy: the impact of John Oliver’s
‘fowl’ jokes to Wikipedia" to the blog. URL:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/05/27/dark-side-of-comedy/
Thanks to Ed for writing and adapting his post from the Signpost to the
blog. Thanks as well to Fabrice for editing.
Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.
*Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):*
• A dark side of comedy: the #Wikipedia volunteers cleaning up behind
@iamJohnOliver/@LastWeekTonight's fowl jokes (link)
• Behind the veil: #Wikipedia volunteers clean up vandalism wrought by
@LastWeekTonight's fowl jokes (link)
*Facebook/Google+*
• When John Oliver called on the Internet to edit the Wikipedia
biographies of US congressional representatives, the Internet answered.
This required Wikipedia's volunteer editors to clean up vandalism on a wide
range of articles. (link)
Thanks,
