Not exactly earth-shattering in my opinion (many people won't actually know the journalist or even the conference Gannes, and the tweet doesn't even indicate what Lila said - that information could be much more relevant; indeed while writing this I just noticed that Michael found a link to the actual interview and drafted SM for it; I would focus on that for @wikipedia). True, @wikimedia has seen stuff that's even more inside baseball, which is probably what you are referring to. And obviously we have put out quite a few items about/from Lila via @wikipedia too in the past, when it was newsworthy.
All that said, I won't be too upset if we retweet the photo from @wikipedia - it just doesn't help the conceptual distinction between the two accounts. > >> >> >> On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 3:44 PM, Michael Guss <[email protected]> wrote: >> > *Checked and a RT would include the image. >> > >> > On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 3:43 PM, Michael Guss <[email protected]> >> > wrote: >> >> >> >> Checked, and a RTYes it does. >> >> >> >> On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 3:40 PM, Heather Walls <[email protected]> >> >> wrote: >> >>> >> >>> Yes!
