Wiki Loves Explainer Videos: beta test project
This article was randomly chosen for the beta test within the mysimpleshow pilot project. The goal of this project is to provide Wikipedians with a simple to use tool in an attempt to promote high-quality video content in Wikipedia articles. In order to get started and evaluate process and tool needs, the project has created 50 videos in an automated process about randomly chosen Wikipedia articles.

The workflow looks as follows: User Login: wikipedia+Sirocco@mysimpleshow.com
 * 1) An initial video draft is provided on the Youtube (access is possible only with this link)
 * 2) The video project is available on mysimpleshow.com (please login with the credentials provided below)
 * 3) The login credentials needed to edit this video (so you don't have to create your own account on mysimpleshow) are:

Password: Dz%T=WXZ

Everyone is invited to edit the video, finalize it, and publish the video file to Wikicommons and / or embed it to the respective Wikipedia article. In case of any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me via talk page.--Norma.jean (talk) 16:46, 14 February 2017 (UTC)


 * This is spam for your own personal project. YouTube videos cannot be updated to match the information here in Wikipedia. The graphics used are immature and not related to the subject matter. Secondarywaltz (talk) 22:19, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the comment. I've consulted with several other Wikipedians before starting this project and they actually suggested this way of "testing" this idea. The process is actually described on the project page and the idea is not to "update the videos on Youtube" (which is impossible, you're right), but to adapt / create the the video in the special video creating tool (link & access data are provided). So, it's similar process like editing the text of an article. The only difference is that it'll become a learning video that anyone can edit like a text. We're quite in early stages, that's why the current videos (they're created completely automatically - comparable with automatic translation) make no sense, but we still believe that it can help editors provide good quality videos for article (maybe not necessarily this article, but where it really needed). Thank you in advance for your constructive feedback (also regarding the realization of our initiative). --Norma.jean (talk) 10:20, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
