Got it. Thanks for clarifying!
We are posting this on Monday. But I think we should be able to add the video later if you don't have it ready by then.

Quick question about this comment:
It is worth mentioning that many more Wikipedia articles already incorporate text from openly licensed scholarly articles (cf.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_articles_incorporating_text...
) and that a subset thereof (cf.
http://topicpages.ploscompbiol.org/wiki/Category:PLoS_Computational_Biology_... )
have actually been written by scholars for that purpose and published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Were the articles in the subset written by scholars on Wikipedia and then published in a peer-review journal like the article on Dengue fever? Or
did
the scholars publish scholarship in a peer-reviewed open access journal
in
order for the papers to be incorporated in Wikipedia articles? I think
it is
the former, but just wanted to make sure that I got it right.
It's more of the latter - the articles are actually drafted and reviewed on a separate MediaWiki instance (e.g.
http://topicpages.ploscompbiol.org/wiki/Multi-state_modeling_of_biomolecules ), then published in the journal, then on Wikipedia. For more details on that, see
http://wikiambassador.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2014/03/28/publishing-scholarly-wik... .
When precisely do you intend to post the piece? We're working on a video about
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Open_Access/Signalling_O... that should be ready in the next few days and may be a good fit for your post.
