I like the tweets and FB/G+ posts. People seem to like geo mentions - so I lean towards the second one if only one FB post goes up.

Might also be worth merging the two together for FB/G+. "What do Assyria, Yugoslavia and the Songhai Empire have in common? Find out about the English Wikipedia project linking them together." or something along those lines.
