Good day, Yesterday, the James Webb telescope published its first image, called "Webb's Frist Deep Field" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webb%27s_First_Deep_Field). An article about the image existis in 14 languages. The tweet announcing it has collected in less than a day more than 77.000 RTs and 275.000 likes (https://twitter.com/NASAWebb/status/1546621080298835970). The main object of the image didn't have any article at any Wikipedia (not an item at Wikidata) yesterday. Now we have an article in 8 languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMACS_J0723.3-7327 and a category in Commons.
Well, the Wikipedia twitter handle didn't tweet anything about this achievement, and didn't give any contest to the image. (https://twitter.com/wikipedia).
We could be answering questions. "By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge". We could be centering free knowledge at Wikimedia.
Best, Galder
We should all be answering questions :) The public interest will only grow with the glorious images coming out today.

How is @Wikipedia (and similar accounts) being managed right now? I'm mostly curious about the process how the tweets are decided upon - is this a staff-driven process or is there some community engagement? Is it planned out long in advance, or reactive (or somewhere in between)?
Are there opportunities to better bolster the strengths of our community?
