Otherwise, we risk leaving out folks who have different cultural references. Sounds like a missed opportunity to me.
And sending two separate messages a few hours apart also increases the likelihood that more people will see it.
My 2 cents.
Ok! agreed!
Cool.
Thanks for your flexibility.
We will all learn from this experiment …
And kudos again for an amazing video! :)

Our own little version of A/B testing...we do what we can.
That’s how we learn …

I'm sorry, I must insist on the Twitter post! I think people will get it, and those that don't will shortly thereafter because everyone who does will inform them about it-

Hi guys,
The blog post is now live:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/01/16/high-school-student-cancer-test/ https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/01/16/high-school-student-cancer-test/
I too share Juliet’s concern that most people will not understand "I am Jack's cancer research”.
So I recommend we start with a clearer message:
High school student Jack Andraka used Wikipedia to research a new test for cancer [LINK]
This will insure that a lot of people click on it, because everyone loves a success story about a student that helped cure cancer.
As a follow-up, I think it would be fine to use the more cryptic line, which will resonate with people who get it.
Would love to see the numbers next week, to see the clickthrough for both messages.
Congrats to Victor and Yoona for a really compelling human-interest story!
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Maybe I'm being dense but I don't get it :/ What's the thinking behind "I am Jack's cancer research" and do you think people will get it?

on Twitter? It's like Wikipedia is saying "I am Jack's cancer research" which is true!
