Thanks Fae. Those could be really useful. I'll have a look in the morning.

Subject: Fwd: [Wikimediauk-l] Magna Carta
I have uploaded a few presentations and talks on video which would
cheer up Magna Carta articles, some are quite 'non-academic friendly'
for readers who might be daunted by a long encyclopaedia article
(videos play back without having to leave a Wikipedia article). They
are currently in
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Magna_Carta> but will
probably be moved to a sub-category in a while. The lectures might be
helpful for those thinking of improving articles and are looking for a
quick guide to issues and interpretations.
Of particular interest are a video from the British Library
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Four_surviving_Magna_Carta_to_be_brought_together_for_the_first_time_in_history.webm>
and a friendly one from Parliament
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Magna_Carta_and_the_Emergence_of_Parliament.webm>.
These are uploaded thanks to a YouTube download/upload script I put
together for a WikiprojectMed request. If there are others on YouTube
you find with a CC-BY licence, drop me a link by email and I'll get
around to taking a look. Unfortunately handling video remains a
challenge for contributors, so I think my uploads are the first videos
on Commons for this topic.
