This
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2012-09-24/News_and_notes>
sums it up pretty well, for those on the list without the benefit of
context. Sigh. :-)
Michael, Andrew, and I also discussed setting up a page where Wikipedians
of all languages could come and propose social posts for us that link to
articles they've written. I figured that we could adopt the DYK/TIL format
for that.

Heh, fair point there was a lot of context missing
there ;)
For the record I'm all in favor, and I was doing a cheap joke for the
entertainment of those who knew the history :)
The worst problems are usually something that we will have on our radar,
these articles are not hard to quickly review, and the community IS
actually very good at reviewing these. When there are DYKs we're not
interested in sharing there is no issue skipping them, there are 24 a day
:) it's not like we're going to run out.

Okay, fair point. In fairness I think something

happen in the future :P

been pre-Katherine :) )

Checking the article isn't awful
before we publish it on social is also pretty trivial, thankfully.

Yes.... Yes it has....
BUT DYK that Gibraltar <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltar> was
ceded to Britain "in perpetuity" under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713?
