In regard to your crossposting section: Wikipedia is generally not considered a valid source for information because it can be changed by anyone at anytime. You may be bringing the validity of the group into question by potential members by using it.
In fact, cross posting, as in the case of twitter, uses multifunctional software to allow a post to show up across different social media accounts simultaneously, like a blog, flicker, facebook, google or any other platform that twitter has agreements with. This is only considered an annoyance when the posts are unrelated to the platform or purpose of the social media. Cross posting is new and widely accepted. You are referring here, I think, the the practice of multi post, which is posting the same post over and over in different discussions, often in unrelated groups or threads. We have had that happen here, the guy from the autism organization comes to mind. It might also include a reference to cutting and pasting articles that are not topic related. The point is, that including unrelated information in a post is disruptive.
