Made some tweaks. It looks postable, although I'm still wondering how this could be made to indicate more clearly that this is about course assignments within the program, not about every Northern American student ever who edited Wikipedia in their spare time... Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 20:13, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Tilman! I think the FB/G+ one clarifies it's part of the program, but space limitations are a challenge with the tweet. Hopefully people are intrigued enough to click through and read the post, in which all will become clear! Posted. -- LiAnna Davis (WMF) (talk) 01:03, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that remark was mainly referring to the tweet - sorry about the confusion. Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 19:16, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I'm not sure about the value of tweets in one language pointing to Wikipedia content in another one (either people can read English, and thus will be able to read to original tweet, or they can't, in which case they will be disappointed by the linked article). Other thoughts? Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 00:26, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think currently too much people read and follow posts in English, and in the particular case of this account in some years of existence, all the content been posted habitually in English. Maybe we can add an advisory legend like (Artículo en inglés). Regards, --ProtoplasmaKid (WM-MX) (talk) 00:43, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Today's articles for improvement

Hi NickPenguin, thanks for kicking off the TAFI messages again! The article appears to have been improved quite a bit since it was marked as TAFI (including removal of the tag that indicated what to improve). Do you think it's still worth featuring it? If so, I would suggest tweaking the grammar a bit, e.g
  • t/f/g: Impossible to object that "Impossible object" can't be improved. Help make today's #TAFI something worth looking at.
