Hi Ed - my reasoning is that something has an impact on something, not to
something, so it didn’t make a lot of sense. But it’s just a little nitpick
really!

Hi all,
I'm fine with that change. I thought that it might be interpreted as John
Oliver editing Wikipedia himself, that's all.
I'll send a fuller email tomorrow to introduce myself, but I'm happy to help
anyone who has questions about the Wikimedia community! Please feel free to
email me at any time.

Yeah, I’m having second thoughts about that too … Ed, would you mind if we used
the wording which Joe suggests? It just doesn’t seem right as it is.
Other than that, I’m really glad that we published this piece, and am very
grateful to Ed for adapting it for the blog.
This is as good a time as any to welcome Ed as our new content editor for the
blog and community profiles for the summer.
Welcome aboard, Ed! We look forward to learning from your experience as editor
emeritus on the Signpost and doing some great work together. :)

Surely this should be "...'fowl' jokes on Wikipedia" (not "to")?
Otherwise LGTM, except I'd go with this for FB/G+ (or similar):
When John Oliver called on the Internet to edit the Wikipedia biographies of US
congressional representatives, the Internet answered -- and Wikipedia's
volunteer editors started to clean up the vandalism. (link)
best,

Hello Everyone,
We just published "A dark side of comedy: the impact of John Oliver’s ‘fowl’
jokes to Wikipedia" to the blog. URL:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/05/27/dark-side-of-comedy/
Thanks to Ed for writing and adapting his post from the Signpost to the blog.
Thanks as well to Fabrice for editing.
Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.
Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):
• A dark side of comedy: the #Wikipedia volunteers cleaning up behind
@iamJohnOliver/@LastWeekTonight's fowl jokes (link)
• Behind the veil: #Wikipedia volunteers clean up vandalism wrought by
@LastWeekTonight's fowl jokes (link)
Facebook/Google+
• When John Oliver called on the Internet to edit the Wikipedia biographies of
US congressional representatives, the Internet answered. This required
Wikipedia's volunteer editors to clean up vandalism on a wide range of
articles. (link)
Thanks,
