Hey all,
We just published "Wikipedia Picks: a ‘bad-boy’ bishop and expensive tulips" to the blog. URL:

Many thanks to Ed and Victoria for this post.
Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.
*Twitter (@wikipedia/@wikimedia):* • "This is the epitome of a bad-boy bishop." • Monroe Edwards was a modern-day Catch Me If You Can, albeit much less successful. • Han van Meegeren once sold a forged painting to a Nazi high official. • That time when they paid thousands for a single tulip bulb. • How much would you pay for a tulip bulb?
I think these are all fine to post, my favorite is the last 2 about the Tulip and a couple suggestion (in addition not as adjustments) below (obviously biased about my own):
- Han van Meegeren's forgeries became collectables themselves [I love this part, think it has a bit more 'pop' then just that he sold them to the Nazi's.

Same, LGTM and I'd add the one above as an option.
