*Hey fellow Wikipedians, *
*VideoWiki (Video version of Wikipedia) is LIVE (Website is best viewed on
Google Chrome)- *https://www.videowikipedia.org/
Building a *multi-media encyclopedia *was considered *impossible* to build
until now because videos once uploaded on the internet cannot be edited
again and Wikipedia relies on being constantly updated and edited. We have
just proved that it is not only possible but also FUN to create a *democratic
multi-media encyclopedia.*
.
Similar to Wikipedia, anyone, *including you, *can edit an article right
now, without even having to log in.
Play around with the website. You will see that *you can give life *to
your *favourite
Wikipedia articles *by converting them to *VideoWiki articles. *
Currently,we are an independent organization, however we are looking to
partner up *WMF *to *evolve Wikipedia *from a *text-based encyclopedia *to
a *multi-media encyclopedia. *I am personally travelling to *Wikimania 2017
(Montreal) *to discuss the impact of Videowiki on Wikipedia. If you are
interested in knowing about the possible impact on organization structure
and monetization strategy for VideoWiki and Wikipedia , you can read my
Medium article at -

media-encyclopedia-that-anyone-can-edit-94d7f021ca38
*Would love your thoughts, opinions and feedback on VideoWiki and if any
particular features you would like to see on VideoWiki?*
*Love, now and always,Pratik Shetty*
