If we're sending this to the wider channels (not experienced Wikim/pedians) I
wouldn't emphasize wiki-gnome. "One man's quest to rid Wikipedia of exactly one

Should still fit, but obviously the latter can probably be dropped. Just think

I would argue it seems kind of weird to namedrop Steven here (the story isn’t
about him, after all!). But other than that it looks good. Perhaps:

Hi social media team,
I think this would be a great story for social media, and I thought we had
posted it already, but don’t see it on our Wikipedia Twitter account.
Here’s what I tweeted on my personal account, in case it’s helpful:

Feel free to retweet — or develop our own message, as you prefer.
Tip of the hat to Andrew Lih for sharing it with us ...
Cheers,
