I think that "BIAS! BIAS! PLAYING FAVORITES!" is a good attention-getting lead-in for Twitter. Failing that, "São Paulo, the second of two Minas Geraes-class battleships, went missing without trace in a 1951 storm. The wreck has never been found." is a close second.

Hey all - Ed's article is Today's Featured Article on Wikipedia today and it would be cool to get it on social. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minas_Geraes-class_battleship

BIAS! BIAS! PLAYING FAVORITES! not that it isn't a good article and of course we should share it just like we should consider for others ;) 
 
Proposed:

Twitter:
• Did you know that Brazil's Minas Geraes-class battleship started a naval arms race in South America? [link]

LGTM
 
Facebook:
• São Paulo, the second of two Minas Geraes-class battleships, went missing without trace in a 1951 storm. The wreck has never been found. [link]

Do you want to start with "Did you know" here? Honestly not sure which is better :) LGTM either way.
