That's an interesting idea for how to promote such a milestone on
social media. I'm not quite sure why Wikimedia feeds should be used
for that purpose though - how does it further our mission?

(To clarify for others, the database being celebrated is not about
Open Access per se, and as far as I know it's in fact proprietary
itself - i.e. not free knowledge. Interestingly, a main motivation for
the DOI standard - of which Crossref's database is probably the most
important application - was to enhance copyright protection on the
Internet and facilitate paywalls:
