Hi guys,

We just published this new blog post about which external sites link to Wikipedia:

Thanks to Gianluca Demartini from the University of Sheffield for preparing this story!

We’ve proposed below some social media messaging ideas. Please discuss and tweak as needed!


Twitter:

Who links to Wikipedia? An analysis of the external link structure using @CommonCrawl data by @eglu81 #datascience

Facebook/Google+:

Who links to Wikipedia? To find out, University of Sheffield researchers analyzed the structure of links that point to Wikipedia pages from external websites. Here's what they learned.


I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce Andrew Sherman, our new Digital Communications Intern.

Andrew will work closely with us on the blog this semester — and will also contribute to social media, video production, and more. 

We are really excited to have him on board: welcome, Andrew! 

Best regards,


Fabrice
