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
