I could make an argument either way but in general I'm supportive of advertising creative uses of WP content (in my traditional Wikipedian "our job is to spread knowledge/content not have higher page views or try to do what we're not good at" mindset :) ). Usually I'd lean towards doing that as a retweet rather then a direct SM message or blog post though there are reasons for exceptions in all cases.

Question - do we want to share the BeutlerInk link publicly for people to subscribe to? Or are we in competition with their content?
I think we should share it because it will educate more people about WP, and we're not generating this content currently.

Hi there,
Hi Joe! Thanks for following up on this! These are funny - Wikipedia should be humorously self-aware sometimes. Even though this is from like last week, these are ever green pieces of info about Wikipedia so I'll go ahead and get these out.

This isn't really my area of social responsibility so I'll let Michael make the final call on this language :)

I chuckled at both - and like them. Might be amusing to point out one specific aspect like the 9 cricket players - "...on Wikipedia (including 9 cricket players and 65 politicians)".

Comments in line but I like these, a little self depreciation and humor.

Late on this, but here's some potential social if we want to get something on this:
• Did you know there are more than 200 "John Smith"s on Wikipedia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Smith
move then 200 seems legitimate and defendable. LGTM
• Need to disambiguate disambiguation? We have a page for that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disambiguation_(disambiguation)
lawl; also LGTM. Half of me wishes we could wikilink disambiguation
to wiktionary but it's on the page :)
Excuse the maths, it's just after 3am here… :)
