Hi there,
The article is pretty fair in its treatment of our efforts (and those of other nonprofits) to increase the representation of traditionally marginalized voices. I would probably for the sake of Twitter etiquette (and for publicity reasons) have a @npquarterly at the end and may would paraphrase the gist of the article with the Twtitter copy of -
"Nonprofits lead the charge to ensure Wikipedia content is better balanced." @npquarterly https://nonprofitquarterly.org/policysocial-context/25863-one-wikipedia-appr...

Increasingly, nonprofits are leading the charge to ensure that Wikipedia content is better balanced. Libraries, galleries, museums and universities are often behind the edit-a-thons, and there’s an emerging breed of “editor-activists.”
The Philadelphia Museum of Art hosted a Wikipedia an edit-a-thon aimed at adding or expanding entries for artists whose work is included in the current exhibition “Represent: 200 Years of African American Art.”
