Thanks to Joe for writing this story, and to everyone who helped get it ready for publication.
This news roundup is a new content experiment for the Wikimedia blog, based on content created for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Comments welcome about this new idea.
Here are our proposed social media messages. We have prepared copy in different lengths. Michael, you may want to use each version at different times, starting with one this afternoon, another one tonight and one more in the morning, featuring a single story of your choice.

Those both look good to me. Perhaps we could create a custom hashtag for each of these, like #WikipediaNews or #NewsOnWikipedia, that would follow the link?
