I don't see where the handle is ambiguous, it follows the same format as a quotation in prose, and is in keeping with Twitter conventions
"Is there any other organization that does more to preserve the original, amazing spirit of the Internet?" Cory Doctorow
"Is there any other organization that does more to preserve the original, amazing spirit of the Internet?" @doctorow
Anyway, the version posted is fine.

OK, just including the handle by itself seemed a bit too minimalist/ambiguous to me, but on reflection that may be better than leaving Cory out completely. And rewording verbatim quotes without indicating the changes is a bit weird, but on Twitter that's probably defensible. So:
@wikimedia, RT from @wikipedia: "Is there any other org that does more to preserve the original, amazing spirit of the Internet?" Thanks, @doctorow! http://boingboing.net/2014/12/14/charitable-giving-guide.html

the way
I shared it -- But org works too!
I was just thinking if we wanted to save even more. that would help if e.g. if there's a manual retweet (i.e. not through the API, just prefix with "RT"). then they prepend ~15 chars on the beginning and that's too long.
But then even 130 is too long. Anyway, was just an idea :)
