I've been surprised by the success of this 7 min animation on Dewey
codes, from the Finnish libraries (kirjastokaista.fi):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF342znnAsM
It's been on the front page of YouTube in Finland for several days now,
even as top 1 trending video. It reached 200k views and counting.
As far as I know, no "serious" video on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia
projects has reached such a virality. (Although I see a Stephen Colbert
and an alltime10s video with 1M views each.) Maybe we can learn
something from it?
The video is part of a series by this Tuomas Toivainen:

Hey all,
While submitting my This Month in GLAM report for this month, I noticed
that there weren't very many This Month in GLAM reports! Make sure to add
your event, partnership or activity big or small, success or learning
experience.
Cheers,
Alex

We’ve proposed this ALA Conversation starter to talk about how Wiki* can
help with library descriptive practices. Please help out by voting on the
proposal and if you can leverage your networks in spreading the word, that
would be great, too. *Voting is only open until May 6th.* You will need to
create an account but you need not be an ALA member.
