Maybe something more specific or intriguing?
One of @Wikipedia's editors is on a mission to save us from ourselves.
Haha. I like it. Possibly a little alarming ;)
Saving us from our grammar might be a big enough mission.

Thanks for all your good feedback!
Maybe a shorter version could be:
Meet one of @Wikipedia's most tireless editors. https://medium.com/backchannel/meet-the-ultimate-wikignome-10508842caad by @Andrew_McMillan @backchnnl
Look forward to sharing this story more broadly. It’s quite inspiring :)

Very good point, actually; not exactly well-known terminology.

If we're sending this to the wider channels (not experienced Wikim/pedians) I wouldn't emphasize wiki-gnome. "One man's quest to rid Wikipedia of exactly one grammatical mistake" is better.

Should still fit, but obviously the latter can probably be dropped. Just think the Wikimedia spirit commands us to credit freelancers :)

I would argue it seems kind of weird to namedrop Steven here (the story isn’t about him, after all!). But other than that it looks good. Perhaps:

Hi social media team,
I think this would be a great story for social media, and I thought we had posted it already, but don’t see it on our Wikipedia Twitter account.
Here’s what I tweeted on my personal account, in case it’s helpful:

Feel free to retweet — or develop our own message, as you prefer.
Tip of the hat to Andrew Lih for sharing it with us ...
Cheers,
Fabrice
