Subject: [Wikimania-l] Wikiradio
To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" <
wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
*Wikiradio* is a real-time audio service transmitted via the Internet. This
service offers various stations, covering all genres of music and even
including recordings of Wikipedia articles on different languages, all of
which are available on Wikimedia Commons. Each sound is chosen by the
community to be highlighted as some of the finest work on Wikipedia and the
Wikimedia Commons.
What is Wikiradio?
Rather than listening to several audio files in Wikimedia Commons, which
require clicking "play" one after another on each one, the wikiradio
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiradio> tools works not as a radio streaming
service, but instead as a synchronized (with UTC time) set of tracks so
that everybody can hear at the same time, simulating a radio.
How I can add my station?[edit
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiradio_(tool)&action=edit&s…>
]
1. Create a page in meta with your dayparting
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayparting> with your music list
like *[[Wikiradio
(tool)/playlist/<my_Station>]]*ej: for clasic music station we have
Wikiradio
(tool)/playlist/classic
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikiradio_(tool)/playlist/classic>
2. Edit the Template:Wikiradio (tool)/stations
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikiradio_(tool)/stations> and
add your station like *{{RadioUrl|<my_station>|<My_station>}}*,ej, for
classic music we have {{RadioUrl|classic|Classic}}
3. Ready, now you can listen your music in wikiradio
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiradio> !!
*Note:* Alternatively, you can archive your dayparting and ask for an
administrator to protect those pages.How work Wikiradio software?
Wikiradio load javascript pages dynamically from meta pages to make the
dayparting. This is thus in order that the community can choose the music
to be placed in these pages. Please edit the page of the station when you
want hear your music.
Some ideas for stations include the spoken Wikipedia
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/spoken_Wikipedia> audios, music by genre
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Audio_files_of_music> and
topics like ambient audio
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Sounds_of_nature>. But we can
do it better. Hourly, a signal is heard
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Busy_tone_(France).ogg> to warn about
o'clock hours, like a real radio :p. Even better we could add a "You are
listening wikiradio, the free radio" spoken message every half hour, and
other stuff.
Each radio station load a dayparting from a wikipage in meta like
"Wikiradio (tool)/playlist/<my_radio_station>" (ej: Wikiradio
(tool)/playlist/classic
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikiradio_(tool)/playlist/classic>) and it
could be archived.
Finally, the main station could use music to fill the gaps of a daily radio
programming based on Wikimania conferences, wiki podcasts, etc. So, what do
you think? Your help is welcome, picking new tracks for any station or
suggesting your ideas. Thanks. (Soure here

I met someone from Carl Zeiss Microscopy while speaking (in my
capacity as Wikimedian in Residence at the Royal Society of Chemistry)
at a science conference in thsi summer, and discussed with them the
possibility of using some of the images from their slides, on
Wikipedia.
After further discussion, the company have now open-licensed a number
of images, with the promise of more to follow.
I've uploaded most of the images to:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_donated_by_Carl_Zeiss_Mi…
and they include modern and vintage Zeiss microscopes, as well as
portraits of people associated with Zeiss, educatonal posters, and
more, Please make use of them
