Happy Wednesday, folks!

As you likely know by now, wikiHow articles are full of surprisingly cool trivia and tips that are worth keeping in your back pocket. In the last month or so I’ve learned that you can spot a fake diamond by breathing on it, you can ripen bananas more quickly by putting them in a paper bag, and that turning saltwater into drinkable water if you’re stranded on an island is actually pretty easy to do if you have a bowl, a cup, and some plastic wrap.

It’s this kind of info that people often love to see on social media, and I thought it might be cool to create an archive of these tidbits whenever we run across them - some of which I’d love to share across our social media channels. If any of you guys are game to help, I’ve created this form that you can use to send over any quick facts that you’d share with a friend. 

Here’s an example of the kind of info that I think works well for this purpose and what it looks like in the form that we’re publishing them: 

Would be cool to start building an archive of some of the most interesting info available on wikiHow! Questions and feedback are greatly welcomed:slight_smile:

@TuckerB I am not interested in it but I will try to do some copyeditting and fixing up errors.

Will there be a link to the articles/tips that people find interesting? Or maybe a link so that the picture that you posted above with the text could be pinned to Pinterest? (with a link to the article in the description)?

Absolutely! On Facebook and Twitter, we’d link out to the article in the same post as the tip. On Instagram, we’d keep the watermark from the article that the information came from (though the image itself might come from anywhere in the library to try to get the best possible image for Instagram). If I’m not mistaken, that means that the image would also be perfectly pinnable to Pinterest as well.

Yes, wikiHow is a lot of interesting articles,can make our lives sometimes a little fun
