Good eye, Pine. How does this look?
"Wikipedia is one of the most popular knowledge resources in the world; it is read by nearly half a billion people every month. From its humble origins nearly fifteen years ago, it now offers more than 35 million articles in 288 languages—including a number of indigenous languages—all written by volunteers from around the globe."

Copyedit needed the blog too, here: "It represents nearly fifteen years of cooperation, more than by millions of people around the world,"
I'm well known for my ce errors, so it's ok (:

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.
