Comment(by holdstrong):

 That Facebook wiki page has definitely made the rounds in relation to this
 issue.

 Unfortunately, adding the suggested Meta Tags to a WordPress site does not
 solve the problem. At least it doesn't on any of my test sites. Also, the
 wiki states if a meta name "title" is not specified, it will resort to
 using the title in the <title> tags. However, it does not do that either.

 Furthermore, a lack of these specific Meta Tags is not prohibiting other
 websites on other platforms from displaying preview material. I have an
 Expression Engine site that has none of the tags outlined in that wiki
 article, yet Facebook previews its content just fine.
