1
00:00:00 --> 00:00:02,202
You all know Wikipedia.

2
00:00:02,202 --> 00:00:05,772
You use it for your papers, to write articles,
or just to learn something for fun.

3
00:00:05,772 --> 00:00:09,042
Not only it is free for you to read,

4
00:00:09,042 --> 00:00:11,344
it's free for you to contribute and improve on articles.

5
00:00:11,344 --> 00:00:14,00
Everything you contribute has to be factual,

6
00:00:14,00 --> 00:00:17,884
neutral in point of view, and uncensored on controversial topics.

7
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:21,655
Wikipedia is an open community,

8
00:00:21,655 --> 00:00:23,923
self-governing with minimal structure.

9
00:00:23,923 --> 00:00:28,128
Everyone is a volunteer.

10
00:00:28,128 --> 00:00:31,431
Presently, Wikipedia appears in over 260 languages,

11
00:00:31,431 --> 00:00:33,733
with some languages featuring thousands of articles,

12
00:00:33,733 --> 00:00:37,047
and other languages featuring millions.

13
00:00:37,047 --> 00:00:40,500
Articles feature in-depth information, pictures and links

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,900
that help you learn more about the topic.

15
00:00:43,00 --> 00:00:47,00
what if every article that you read had video?

16
00:00:47,00 --> 00:00:50,00
What if you could take a tour of the pyramids of Egypt

17
00:00:50,00 --> 00:00:53,00
or a tour down a historic town's main street

18
00:00:53,00 --> 00:00:56,00
or watch national dance for your home country

19
00:00:56,00 --> 00:01:00,00
now with video on Wikipedia, you can

20
00:01:00,00 --> 00:01:02,800
if you want to shoot a video yourself

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,100
try picking out key points form the article

22
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:06,700
that you think will help illustrate the topic

23
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:10,00
and playing with, you would like to record a head of time.

24
00:01:10,00 --> 00:01:12,600
Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,00
so the contention be educational and informative

26
00:01:16,00 --> 00:01:19,00
most importantly when shooting video

27
00:01:19,00 --> 00:01:22,00
try to keep a steady hand or use a tripod.

28
00:01:22,00 --> 00:01:24,800
if you don't want to record the video yourself,

29
00:01:25,00 --> 00:01:27,900
there are number of archives on the Internet, like archive.org

30
00:01:28,00 --> 00:01:30,200
or Wikimedia commons that will probably

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,200
have a video the best suit your article.

32
00:01:34,00 --> 00:01:37,00
just remember, no matter what you shoot or what you find

33
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:41,300
all video on Wikimedia must be free to use and free to share.

34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,00
usually this means that it is licensed to the Creative Commons

35
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,00
now that you have selected an article

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,00
and a video you would like to add to it;

37
00:01:49,00 --> 00:01:52,800
here is the simplest way to bring the two together.

38
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,00
first, we recommend using Mozilla Firefox

39
00:01:57,00 --> 00:02:00,00
Firefox is a free open source browser

40
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:03,400
that makes viewing and adding video to Wikipedia simple

41
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:08,00
after that, download the Firefogg add-on to Mozilla Firefox

42
00:02:08,00 --> 00:02:13,00
this automatically converts videos to the free and open Theora format

43
00:02:13,00 --> 00:02:16,200
that Wikipedia uses when you upload them

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,200
alternatively, Windows and Mac users can download Miro converter

45
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,200
a simple software that lets you take video and converter it to any format

46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,200
including open video for Wikipedia

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,00
unlike editing text uploading video requires that you logged in to Wikipedia

48
00:02:33,00 --> 00:02:37,00
sign in or create an account if you're a new user.

49
00:02:37,00 --> 00:02:39,400
when you upload video for the first time,

50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,00
you'll have to turn on the video uploading feature.

51
00:02:43,00 --> 00:02:48,00
to do this, click on your user name at the top of the page

52
00:02:48,00 --> 00:02:51,00
then, click on my preferences

53
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,800
click on gadgets

54
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:59,200
then scroll down to user interface gadgets

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,200
and clip the box that says add mwEmbed support

56
00:03:05,00 --> 00:03:08,200
scroll down to the save button and click save.

57
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,200
now your ready to upload video

58
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,200
now that you have signed in go to the article you would like to modify

59
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,200
and click the edit button.

60
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,200
you'll see add media wizard button in the editing tab

61
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,200
clicking this link will pull up a menu

62
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,200
if your uploading your own file select it and hit upload

63
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,200
you can also select a video from the commons

64
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,200
or a media file you have previous uploaded but have not yet added to an article
