[Wikimediaindia-l] Insights from GLAMcamp Amsterdam

[Lodewijk]

Hi,

Nice work! I am not very at home in Prezi, so some suggestions by email:

* Maybe it is better to call Wikimedia a "movement" to avoid confusion when
they encounter Wikimedia India
* In the file formats you seem to miss .OGG (sound/video)
* It is probably better to never say "Commons" like we do, but always
"Wikimedia Commons". Otherwise people get confused with Creative Commons.
* Is NPOV really relevant in Wikimedia Commons?
* Suggesting to dig up archives is dangerous - we have some bad experiences
in Israel with that. The danger is that they dig up photos taken by other
people of themselves. Maybe reword to "your old photographs" and focus on
authorship rather than (physical) ownership?
* Maybe add something about Featured images: if they submit really good
images, they might end up getting that status?

Anyway, hope it is useful,

Lodewijk
