Hey Lennart, they are great videos!

> In just two days, Wikimedia Sverige is once again going to participate at
> the Gothenburg Book Fair, which is the second largest book fair in Europe.
> Around 100 000 people come there every year from almost all of our target
> groups.
>
> This year, we have prepared three short films about why the visitors should
> contribute to Wikipedia (roughly a minute each) that we will show
> continuously over the four days of the fair. But before we show them for
> the
> public, I'd like to show them to you.

> Keep in mind that they are meant to be shown at a busy fair. That's why we
> have no sound, including no dialogue. (I.e. we didn't foul up when
> uploading
> them to YouTube). We only have a short sign at the end of the film with
> sort
> of a theme stated. Since we will be there to take questions, we didn't feel
> that we needed more than that.

> And now, here are the links:

> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtUJCeWNzw8 (the librarian) (the sign at
> the
> end says: "When you look up a fact, enter it into Wikipedia as well. Next
> time, it will be you that saves time.")
>
> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-voNMspnU4g (the teacher) ("Wikipedia can
> be
> a good tool for teaching source criticism and how information is created.
> Learn more about how Wikipedia works.")
>
> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9ovfukCZts (the senior citizen) ("Share
> what
> you know. Wikipedia is read by hundreds of thousands of people every day.
> Maybe by your grandchild too.")
>
> The films are licensed cc-by-sa, and will be uploaded shortly to Wikimedia
> Commons, both as they are now, and with soft music.
>
> Here is the good news: If you want a version in your language, just send us
> what the sign at the end should say and we'll make it for you! Please have
> at least two people proof-read it before you send it to us, to avoid
> mistakes, since we probably won't be able to determine if you've made any
> errors.
>
> If you want more films like this, holler and we may make them. We have a
> good team here, and can make these films pretty cheaply and quickly.
>
> Any comments are welcome!
