As a general remark: If it&#39;s a project by an outside (non-Wikimedia) organization like in this case, a retweet is usually easier - before we heartily endorse a project and describe it as success directly from the official SM accounts, there should be some form of vetting beyond the organization&#39;s own statements. So it&#39;s useful if we can retweet the lead of the WMF multimedia team regarding a multimedia project ;) In any case, this particular organization has done projects before that were promoted by Wikimedia NL: <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights,_April_2013#.22Wiki_Loves_Sound.22_enriches_Wikipedia_with_audio_recordings" target="_blank">https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights,_April_2013#.22Wiki_Loves_Sound.22_enriches_Wikipedia_with_audio_recordings</a></div><div><br></div><div>I have retweeted it from @wikicommons and @wikipedia.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 2, 2014 at 10:27 AM, Fabrice Florin <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,&#39;cvml&#39;,&#39;fflorin@wikimedia.org&#39;);" target="_blank">fflorin@wikimedia.org</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>Here’s another possible candidate for sharing:</div><div><br></div><div>Video challenge on Wikipedia stimulates re-use of audio-visual heritage:</div><div><a href="http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/en/blogs/research-amp-development-en/201412/video-challenge-wikipedia-way-stimulate-reuse" target="_blank">http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/en/blogs/research-amp-development-en/201412/video-challenge-wikipedia-way-stimulate-reuse</a></div><div><br></div><div>This post describes their positive experience with a video challenge on the UNESCO World day for Audiovisual Heritage: over 400 videos were added to articles within three weeks.
