Hi,
I think we should draw attention to this third-party blog post which highlights the fact that Wikipedia is consider to be the most multilingual website (not news per se - this guy has published the "Web Globalization Report Card" data behind that chart for years, in 2008 WP was #2 behind Google - but nice to see it clearly described that way):
*T (@wikipedia) /FB/G+: "Wikipedia represents (for now) the high-water mark for linguistic diversity on a website." http://www.globalbydesign.com/2014/04/07/wikipedia-and-the-internet-language... #l10n
Normally I would go for a retweet, but the tweets I saw were burying the lede somewhat; I think this quote should work better.
If we're quoting him, should we use his name? https://twitter.com/johnyunker
Looks good to me.

Posted, thanks! I felt the link was enough attribution already (it's his own website, apparently).

FYI, I just checked the stats on Facebook, and with an organic reach of 137,344 people, this is already our most-viewed post this year so far, after less than a day (#2 was this one about the new trademark policy: https://www.facebook.com/wikipedia/posts/10151915570531395 , #3 was an "on this day").
