Yes, I think it’s a promising weekly series, that
has the potential to
serve two great goals:
• surface interesting content on Wikipedia
• get inside the mind of an active Wikipedia contributor
Both of these goals can serve our mission, but the second one interests
me the most, because it can help build empathy and trust between readers
and editors.
Nicely done, Ed and team!
BTW, here are the personal posts I just published. Feel free to use any
of that copy, as you see fit :)
And I agree that we should also try promoting this story with individual
images, as proposed in #3 and #4 below.
I also like the idea of using ‘Did you know’ posts more often, such as
this one:
'Did you know ... that as late as 1818, English courts upheld your right
to demand a trial by battle?'

That is a fun blog post. It reads like some of the more entertaining
Signpost featured content reports.

I wrote most of these, so I won't LGTM, but
please note that specific

Many thanks to Gary for writing this post, as well as to Ed, Andrew and
Fabrice for editing.
Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.
*Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):*
• Wikipedia Picks: five articles on disaster, trial by battle, and more
(link)
• "A notorious incident where a passenger ship sank during trip across
the Atlantic, and few of the passengers survived ... Like #Titanic, but
worse."
• The senator sacrificed his career for a group of African-American
soldiers. [+image]
• That beard though. [+image]
*Facebook/Google+:*
• English Wikipedia editor Gary Greenbaum discusses five featured
#Wikipedia articles—including a maritime disaster, a pioneer, and a horse
trainer-turned-publisher. (link)
• Did you know ... that as late as 1818, English courts upheld your
right to demand a trial by battle?
thanks,
Joe
