How to respond to celebrity twitter accounts asking for help on edits?

by Michael Guss

Hi everyone, So, I have a question. How do we respond to these types of questions on social media? I have a tweet from Diplo's <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing#Policies_and_conventions> account asking for helping editing the English Wikipedia article on his other project, Major Lazor <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_Lazer>. Can we just tweet from @wikipedia the "Help:Editing" page? Or tweet for his to write on the article's talk page requesting the change for the article's photo? Thoughts? -- Michael Guss Research Analyst Wikimediafoundation.org mguss(a)wikimedia.org
