I don't know that I add that category when I do add videos to articles
myself. One solution would be to narrow a scope to a select list of
articles around a topic/wikiproject like Roads, Sports, medicine, and then
conduct a search for .ogv, .ogg.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netball ,
http://topsy.com/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_derby ,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Jackson ,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenna_O%27Hea ,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canberra_Capitals ,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Graf ,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianna_Tolo all have video in there.
I think there are some limitations with video that are also worth
discussing: Is it better to have a quality picture of Marianna Tolo in the
article? Or is it better to have lesser quality video in the article? I
believe the maximum upload size on Commons is 100mb. There is no
streaming. This creates a major wall to sharing this type of content in an
article and making a video illustrative of a point. (The video in the
roller derby article for example illustrates safety in roller derby. Tolo
video illustrates her playing in a game. If you're a French fan of her,
you might want to see what she played like in Australia, especially since
Australian games were not televised in France.)

Thanks Ward -- very useful! It would be interesting to run it again on a
recent dump and to find whether certain categories are getting better video
treatment, though the set
Will do.
I wonder if we could get some students to check my results and add the
"containing video clips" category to pages that deserve it.
Best regards. -- Ward
