FYI this is a great feature we have now and I am so glad we have these.

Just 1 commentary: 

• That one time when they paid thousands ... for a single tulip bulb.

We can always post both of them over the course of the coming week and see which one does better. ;-) Thanks, James!

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.

Facebook/Google+:

• "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.

thanks,

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