Definitely a +1 on the how to start a tweet: you
shouldn't use another
Twitter user's name as the first word in the tweet unless you're replying
directly to them. Otherwise, only s/he, and the people who follow you both,
will see your tweet.
Stylistically, it's usually worth it to try rewriting -- for example,
"Join us next Tuesday for an new virtual event! @WikiEval hosts an Impact
Review for 2013-14 grants. <link>
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.

Is there a non-google location to link to? Is this a hangout on air?
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?
