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_BackWhat do we think of this? (Forgive me if we already have an answer for this!)best,Joe--Joe Sutherland
