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
