Hi guys,

Thanks for your input on this! I actually realized I should not have LGTM-ed (sorry!)  so quickly because of redundancy I read. Facebook and Twitter will automatically incorporate the caption into the post itself, so the proposed copy is actually redundant if we were to run with it and not be as enticing. 

I think we can run with Lila's quote here to complement the title and the underlying caption copy. 

f/g: "This award honors those volunteers - the editors, photographers, writes, and developers - who make Wikipedia possible."

t:  Wikipedia receives one of the most important honours in the world, the Princess of Asturias Award:

I like having "award" right at before the link--that word will get more attention than "international cooperation," imho! Whichever Andrew or Michael decides is fine with me.

I don't think there's a lot gained by dropping that, to be fair. Can go with or without it.

I think we can drop international cooperation for brevity, no? Readers can see the category when they click.
