Hi Tilman,
Crossref has been a strong supporter of a number of initiatives within the
community over the last year, including the Wikipedia Library and
sponsoring WikiCite
. Also,
we are one of the biggest referrers to DOI -- in that the Wikipedia
communities have decided to use it as a major identifier within both
Wikipedia and WikiData.
I would think they are already part of our community -- or a least a well
used part of our research ecosystem.
Cheers,
Alex

That's an interesting idea for how to promote such
a milestone on
social media. I'm not quite sure why Wikimedia feeds should be used
for that purpose though - how does it further our mission?
(To clarify for others, the database being celebrated is not about
Open Access per se, and as far as I know it's in fact proprietary
itself - i.e. not free knowledge. Interestingly, a main motivation for
the DOI standard - of which Crossref's database is probably the most
important application - was to enhance copyright protection on the
Internet and facilitate paywalls:

Hey All,
If you haven't been following both the Wikipedia LIbrary and Wikiemdia
Research have been working actively with Crossref to improve Wikipedia
citations and to reach out to the publishers and OA communities in their
network.
They recently reached 80,000,000 records in their database, and are
trying
to find other instances of other instances of
80,000,000 in response to
their tweet and using the hashtag at
https://twitter.com/crossreforg/status/718352010291113984 . We
responded for
would
be great if we shared from Wikimedia accounts
instances of 80,000,000 on
our
projects.
