Hi everyone,
I’m happy to share the first-ever Wikimedia year-in-review video, Wikipedia: #Edit2014.
Wikimedia Commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Edit_2014.webm
Youtube: http://youtu.be/ci0Pihl2zXY
Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/114673230
It’s the story of 2014 through the lens of Wikimedia in under 3 minutes. (We know we didn’t get it all!)
We're about to launch this to the rest of the world, on the WMF blog, on social media, and to the press. The whole point of the production is we want the world to get a sense of what it feels like to press edit for the first time, and what it’s like to contribute to something that millions of people use, love, and rely on. We hope you like it.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this. It’s based entirely on what YOU contributed to the projects -- images you uploaded and video you migrated to Commons. It’s based on the texts of books and documents on Wikisource and the Wikipedia articles that you wrote. And thanks to everyone who volunteered and shared feedback with us while we were editing to make it sound and feel like Wikipedia. I talked to many people in putting this together, so thank you all.
If you want to contribute to this particular effort, you can of course share this video, but what would be even better is if you could translate the captions into more languages so that even more people can understand it. We’ll migrate the captions from Commons to YouTube and Vimeo as they come in. (BTW does anyone know why YouTube or Vimeo doesn’t have open captions? Maybe once we have this captioned in 50 languages, we can use it to advocate that they should.)
We’re already thinking of ways to open up this process for even more collaboration next year. We put this together in about eight weeks, so we had a pretty big time constraint for making it an open process from the beginning.
We’re publishing two blog posts on the topic shortly and will send them as soon as they’re out.
Thanks! :)
Victor & the WMF Communications team
Thanks Victor for sharing this awesome video! It's really really awesome.
BTW, could you tell me where of the commons/meta the translations have been done? I'd like to fix some of the Japanese subtitles.

Beautiful work :-) I especially appreciate the way you also subtly included our very own Adrianne Wadewitz.
