Hi Fabrice,

I think the topic of improving our video content is totally appropriate, in particular for @wikicommons. As a general remark: If it'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's own statements. So it'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: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights,_April_2013#.22Wiki_Loves_Sound.22_enriches_Wikipedia_with_audio_recordings

I have retweeted it from @wikicommons and @wikipedia.

Video challenge on Wikipedia stimulates re-use of audio-visual heritage:

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. This is noteworthy, given that very few articles feature videos on Wikipedia at this time. Nicely done, @BeeldenGeluid !

I personally posted it here, if you’d like to retweet:

Let me know if you think this type of local success story is appropriate for our social media channels, so I can calibrate my submissions in the future.

Be well,


Fabrice
