Excellent point, Joe. Question: I went to the links posted on the meta wiki as suggestions for tweets for articles to be improved, but the links take you to a page asking you to create said article. Would that be strange, asking people to improve an article that doesn't exist yet? Or am I seeing this <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marie_Serneholt&action=edit&redlink=1> wrong? I thought these tweets were to encourage people who were just getting their feet wet editing.
