I am wondering about releasing many hundreds of Africa
educational videos
under creative commons.
They are the videos currently at
www.our-africa.org which is a child
generated reference site about Africa.
There is a lot of material in the videos which could be edited and used to
improve Wikipedia article (a solar kettle in operation, a maize plant
grinding maize, a variety of musical instruments in use, different
religious festivals, cocoa plantations etc etc)
However at present Wikipedia does not seem to support or want video
material.
Wikipedia supports video with [[Media:]] tag. Also, Wikimedia Commons has a
little collection of them
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Video
Does anyone have a feel whether this is likely to change?
http://www.videoonwikipedia.com
Also, this message is more related to Wikimedia or Commons mailing lists
(cc:). If you are the owner of those videos and you want to donate them,
some people can help you in the process.
Andrew
