Encouraging boldness is ok, and new good-faith editors sometimes need that encouragement. Recklessness is not ok, and this particular quote sounds like it's encouaging the latter IMO. There must be a better quote that can be used instead.

Yeah, I think the context comes out ok on that. It's meant to sound revolutionary :) even if given our history perhaps it shouldn't sound like that ( because it's been a core thing since the start).

"Be bold" is a major, MAJOR thing on Wikipedia projects however.

Without broader context for that quote, I would suggest not publicizing that widely. Wikipedia is not an anarchy.

Traditionally we've done it some. Personally I think it's a good thing to do especially from @Wikimedia with more limited ones from @Wikipedia. Is a cheap (less work then a blog etc) way to bring attention to the ongoing talks.

Should we start RTing people who are tweeting about Wikimania talks etc?
