Hi A few hours ago author and philosopher Umberto Eco passed away. AFAIK he was a permanent viewer, critic and an public enthusiast of Wikipedia, and wrote some articles related to the encyclopedia. I think it was valuable that a thinker of its importance pointed at least since 2008 the importance of Wikipedia in the contemporary world.
Can we post something about him in the social networks?
Thanks,
Hi Ivan,
We have posted three times so far about Mr. Eco, but not yet about his contributions to Wikipedia. That sounds like it would make a great blog post. Let me bring it up with the team. Do you have some links or examples you think would be good to include?

Yeah! I will search some quotes/paragraphs to add. I think our friends of Wikimedia Italia can support also.

Thanks, Tilman and Ivan.
It sounds like there is some great material for a remembrance of a legendary thinker and Wikipedia advocate on the blog. Perhaps we can take a day or two to pull it all together.
Best,
Jeff
