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:

Meet the Ultimate WikiGnome: the story of one of @Wikipedia's top editors, featuring ex-colleague @StevenWalling https://medium.com/backchannel/meet-the-ultimate-wikignome-10508842caad

https://twitter.com/fabriceflorin/status/563095938060021763

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

This story has been mentioned lots of places yesterday and today,
including briefly today on the American radio program Marketplace!
