Hey All We have a new project called Video Wiki <https://videowiki.wmflabs.org/en> which allows: 1. The easy creation of videos from scripts from Wikipedia and images / short video segments from Commons 2. Scripts can have inline references and the text of the script with references end up in the captions of the video with references. These captions can be turned on and off 3. At the end of the video it automatically adds 1. the license for the text (CC BY SA license) 2. attribution of those who have edited the scripts 3. all the metadata for the references supporting the scripts 4. The final video version on Commons lists the files that the video is derived from 5. Attribution for the images is automatically added at the bottom of each image Have started a discussion here on Wikipedia and would appreciate peoples thoughts. Will be drafting a formal RfC about the use of such videos eventually. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine#Video_Wiki -- James Heilman MD, CCFP-EM, Wikipedian _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>

Is it possible to add other languages if we have a free TTS system? ________________________________ From: Wikimedia-l &lt;wikimedia-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; on behalf of Samuel Klein &lt;meta.sj(a)gmail.com&gt; Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 4:10 PM To: Wikimedia Mailing List Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Video Wiki Brilliant.

Could these videos be posted to YouTube? In a recent talk <https://vimeo.com/album/5793528>, internet researcher danah boyd makes the observation (around minute 15) that one of the problems with conspiracy propagation in YouTube is that nobody generally bothers to produce response videos to counteract disinformation narratives. So people who use YouTube to get their "news" (<-- a HUGE number of younger internet users) are never exposed to the truth around these subjects. Many of us are aware that last year YouTube tried, somewhat problematically, to link to Wikipedia articles in an attempt to counter disinformation. But it would be even more useful to* insert factual information into the YouTube ecosystem itself*. It seems to me that VideoWiki tool gives our Movement a powerful new tool to counter disinformation in a more timely manner. Imagine a 4 minute video that pulls from multiple Wikipedia articles and other WM data sources and which is designed to counter, say, a new viral anti-vaxx video in a concise and engaging way. Before VideoWiki, this would have been pretty labor-intensive to create. With VideoWiki, it seems like we're close to being able to develop this kind of content in a much more timely manner. But to be effective, the video needs to reach the intended audience. The best way to do that is to post it to YouTube, where that audience is. Hence my opening question. What do people think?

That's pretty cool! I'll add some more notes on the wiki page later. -- brion On Tue, Feb 26, 2019, 9:55 PM James Heilman &lt;jmh649(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: / is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine#Video_Wiki _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
