I’m not sure who the best person to do that would be, but I could ask Stephen when I chat with him next if no one else is interested. :)
To my knowledge, the only “on-wiki” place that anything like this exists is: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Stories2/en
Which, perhaps intentionally lacks specific details because of past input from Legal. Not sure.

If we have the resources and are already monitoring the comments, seems like documenting the best ones and requesting usage might be helpful to other efforts. That said, I obviously defer to others on if that’s how to best allocate limited resources. ;)
Out of curiosity, how accessible are the collected stories and quotes? Does all WMF staff have access? Are they lurking on Meta (which sometimes feels like the best place to hide something)? Or is it sort of spread across different docs accessible to different folks depending on who was doing what when the story/quote came in?

Good point, Greg. We have collected community stories and donor quotes. It might be a good idea to start adding these too to have them on hand for other projects. This is a wealth of good will - and data!

The general social media etiquette for brand managers, in my experience, would be reply to the comment we're interested in following up on, and ask the Facebook fan if we can use it off-platform and publicly.

Might be interesting to be able to pull that for a public report, OpEd, or campaign in the future. Or perhaps some interesting memes around WP15.

I just love this response:
Wikipedia will always be my best mentor, winning an argument with solid and reliable facts might have been a good way to use it, but Wikipedia taught me far beyond that, sciences and philosophies, arts and mythologies, without Wikipedia there wouldn't be me sitting here. Thank you, Wikipedia! Salute to the spirit of spreading knowledge without differences!

Back in the day I've even had a Twitter conversation about it with people who were doing a trivia quiz.
Tldr: yeah think it'll be fun :)

Have you ever used Wikipedia to settle a bet or resolve an argument? Did you win?
What do you think?
