That could be mitigated by cropping. (I assume you are talking about the illustration for the tweet - apologies if that was about the gallery examples in WordPress instead.)

I reworded it, but to me, those images are a bit on the small side.

(BTW, as I'm re-reading that disclaimer, an offtopic remark about the blog post itself: I think this one works OK with just two images, but regarding "far more images than this platform can comfortably accommodate", it's worth being aware that WordPress has a gallery feature that can reproduce a layout such as in the Signpost original fairly well. See e.g.
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/11/04/wikimedia-russia-tunguska-electronic-m... or https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/09/05/celebrating-the-10th-anniversary-of-wi... IIRC it is also documented in the blog admin documentation; if not, I can add a bit later.)

I think the disclaimer covers any doubts on that front anyway. I'll look to get this out tomorrow then, I think, for maximum reach.

Yes, it goes a bit on the offensive, but I think that is fine in this case.
The blog post contains two PD images which can be uploaded to Twitter without licensing concerns. I would suggest to shorten the tweet as follows so as to make room for one of them (in addition to the blog link), which as we know can help a lot to increase engagement:
The Basic Art series from @TASCHENBooks is missing 100 famous women. Wikipedia has them all. [IMAGE]
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/08/07/systemic-bias-wikipedia-vs-publishers/
I would tend towards choosing the painting, but both should work.

Yeah, especially since we're posting from @Wikipedia I don't think it's needed either.
It is a bit passive aggressive but it gets the point of the article across and I'm not sure it's possible to do that without being a bit either passive or actively aggressive ;)

LGTM. I don't think it's a good idea to hashtag Wikipedia based on Michael's advice on searches for that term though.
