I would also recommend against generic hashtags -- they are harder for users to read, and have shown diminishing returns as a navigational tool. They tend to work best for ongoing themes, like #wikieval, or event-specific tags, like #wikimania14.On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 7:42 AM, Jeremy Baron <jeremy@tuxmachine.com> wrote:

Generally you should avoid sending tweets that start with a ref to another twitter user. (but in thus case it would still show on timelines because of the hashtags. I think)
Anyway, maybe tweet from @wikieval and then we RT instead of writing our own?
