Just thinking on the opening sentence int he blog: "For over fifteen years, the scope of topics that Wikipedia covers has grown steadily." Should it really be _over fifteen_?

Hey all,

We just published "How Wikipedia responds to breaking news" to the blog. URL:

http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/08/17/wikipedia-breaking-news/

Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.

*Twitter (@wikipedia/@wikimedia):* • How does Wikipedia respond to breaking news? http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/08/17/wikipedia-breaking-news/

Looks good overall, happy with this if you'd prefer but perhaps a bit of an answer to tease them (like below)? perhaps:

• How does Wikipedia respond to breaking news? Awfully like a newsroom

it turns out. http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/08/17/wikipedia-breaking-news/

...

*Facebook/Google+:* • "Overall, the study shows that Wikipedia works on breaking news much like a traditional newsroom—verifiability is held in high regard, and a 'core group' of editors tend to contribute a vast majority of the content." http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/08/17/wikipedia-breaking-news/

Good catch—should read "almost", not sure how that got in there.
