[Social-media] Should I pay for a Wikipedia article?

Hi all,

"Should I pay for a Wikipedia article?" is prepped and scheduled to go out at 7:30am PST tomorrow, assuming the blog's time zone is PST. A preview for those with WordPress access is available https://wikimediablog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=42186&action=edit, or there is a draft Google Doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qkM5ypjjg2mz0jhhOYAO-bFZ7CP2frwcfQFsYcMeows/edit.

As always, I'm open to suggestions and improvements, and I'm fairly certain that someone here can come up with better posts!
