I like Jeff’s note about the etiquette, and agree it would be best to ask 
permission before using.

If we have the resources and are already monitoring the comments, seems like 
documenting the best ones and requesting usage might be helpful to other 
efforts. That said, I obviously defer to others on if that’s how to best 
allocate limited resources. ;)

Out of curiosity, how accessible are the collected stories and quotes? Does all 
WMF staff have access? Are they lurking on Meta (which sometimes feels like the 
best place to hide something)? Or is it sort of spread across different docs 
accessible to different folks depending on who was doing what when the 
story/quote came in?
