English subtitles for clip: File:The Impact of Wikipedia - Andrea Zanni.webm

1
00:00:00,9 --> 00:00:04,686
Wikipedia took serendipity to another whole level.

2
00:00:05,262 --> 00:00:11,442
You just go, and you always go in the "N", reading about the history of black metal in Sweden.

3
00:00:12,861 --> 00:00:18,422
I'm Andrea Zanni and I work as a volunteer in the Italian Wikisource.

4
00:00:19,281 --> 00:00:27,627
Wikisource is a digital library. It owns and hosts 
ancient books, like old books, public domain ones.

5
00:00:28,065 --> 00:00:39,131
and we put books up for people to read. We digitize some of 
them. We put them on Wikisource, and then we transcribe them.

6
00:00:39,131 --> 00:00:45,922
We also try to link the books between each other, because 
there is the possibility to link one to another.

7
00:00:46,426 --> 00:00:56,740
to link a text to another, and try to follow 
quotes and create a sort of hyper-textual digital library.

8
00:00:56,74 --> 00:01:02,463
I really love that about Wikisource - the 
possibility to create a connected, integrated library

9
00:01:02,463 --> 00:01:05,749
Serendipity is one of the best things in life, 

10
00:01:05,749 --> 00:01:13,749
and it's just -- serendipity is when you find 
something interesting, but you're looking for something else.

11
00:01:13,75 --> 00:01:17,777
It always happens when you go in a bookstore.

12
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:22,944
It always happens when you go in a library with open shelves.

13
00:01:22,944 --> 00:01:29,741
As everyone does, I was searching a word in 
Google. I came out on Wikipedia, 

14
00:01:29,741 --> 00:01:34,172
and then I started. I thought, OK, this is not possible, 

15
00:01:34,172 --> 00:01:39,779
like, it can't be open to anyone. It can't 
be like this, like editable for anyone, 

16
00:01:39,779 --> 00:01:41,21
and it was 

17
00:01:41,214 --> 00:01:47,39
and then I discovered Wikiquotes; that was a 
project I really enjoyed the first times.

18
00:01:47,386 --> 00:01:51,24
So I started working there, and then I discovered Wikisource, 
and I said, OK, this is my place

19
00:01:51,72 --> 00:01:59,58
And you know, there were the books, and there was the 
nerdy part with computers, software stuff that was together.

20
00:01:59,576 --> 00:02:01,64
and OK, I belong here.

21
00:02:01,641 --> 00:02:06,64
Wikipedia, yes, it's probably the best serendipitous thing ever, right now.
