Hi, Andrew:
This sounds great - happy to help in really any way!
Intelligent Television - a NY prodco - has shot some original hi-def video for Wikipedia -
footage in the classroom of linear algebra taught to camera by Gil Strang at MIT last
year; footage of Richard Stallman this year explaining F/LOSS direct to camera - and
edited video and WP articles together with MIT Open Courseware and WP's SJ Klein to
illustrate some of Newton's principles of physics as taught by popular MIT prof Walter
Lewin. Also to advance some of the rights clearance, citation, & attribution best
practices for video and free/open video now emerging.
See also the advances - slow & chelonian as they may be - of the new
UK-gov't-funded citations working group described by the British Library yesterday at
the bottom of this message.
There's a Ford-Foundation-supported resource called Video for Wikipedia and the Open
Web: A Guide to Best Practices for Cultural and Educational Institutions online under
"Advanced GLAM Projects" at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/US/Bookshelf
Some of the physics video from MIT is now in WP with citations and links back here:

Some of the Stallman video is online waiting for its WP closeup here:

Hopefully reincarnation is more than a theory and we will have a next life in which to see
more progress in this field. If not though we should hurry and get more done.

<<Audiovisual Citation: Guidelines for referencing sound and moving image resources
Despite the exponential increase in the use of audiovisual material in teaching, learning
and research in higher and further education, existing guidelines for the referencing of
sound and moving image are insufficient as they are based on standards developed for the
written word. This has the effect of discouraging the citing of sound and moving image, as
well as creating barriers in its discovery, use and re-use.
In 2011, the British Universities Film & Video Council (BUFVC) established a citation
working group comprised of academics, researchers, journal editors, archivists and
representatives from the British Library to address this key issue. Since 2012 this
ground-breaking work has been incorporated into the BUFVC Shared Services Project, funded
by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
The guidelines will cover: film, television programmes, radio programmes, audio
recordings, DVD extras including interviews and commentaries, clips, trailers, adverts,
idents, stings, non-broadcast material (catalogued and not catalogued), podcasts, vodcasts
and DVD study materials.
The guidelines have been shaped by the diversity of sound andmoving image materials
requiring citation and will be open to future updates to ensure they effectivelyrespond to
advances in technology, development of new media platforms and the needs of the user.
The citation standards will be robustly tested prior to publication and will beapplicable
to a wide range of different users across all disciplines.
Timescale
The citation guidelines for sound and moving imagewill be published in March 2013 and
reviewed periodically.

Expert quote
". . . there is not yet a uniform set of citation standards in education for quoting
and referencing either moving images or recorded sound. For academics to gain greater
confidence in the use of moving image and sound content in research and publication, they
will require the standardisation of citation and the assurance that collections will hold
material and sustain collections on the same basis as print material."

Hi all,
Thought I'd let you know about this proposal for a Wikipedia-oriented video project,
and welcome your feedback and comments there at the bottom of the page.
