From @wikipedia:
Half of Wikipedia's top medical editors are health care professionals, 85% have a university education http://www.jmir.org/2015/3/e62/
FB/G+: Wikipedia is probably "the most viewed medical resource globally", according to this new study. Wikipedia's medical content is supported by more than 950,000 references and was viewed more than 4.88 billion times in 2013. Half of Wikipedia's top medical editors are health care professionals, 85% have a university education http://www.jmir.org/2015/3/e62/
(NB: this is a very similar result as https://twitter.com/Wikipedia/status/540932219955449856 , but a different study.)
And as followup, connecting very nicely with this week's dominant topic:
@wikipedia: "There is one bright light here—Wikipedia." We don't tell third-party companies which health issues you read about. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/looking-up-symptoms-online-these-companies-...
FB/G+:
"There is one bright light here—Wikipedia. It was one of the only sites that trafficked in health information that sent no third party requests to corporations." We value our readers' privacy highly. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/looking-up-symptoms-online-these-companies-...

Should this run by the legal team because it's medical-related?
