Wikipedia Help Survey
Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

EduWiki Conference 5-6 September in Leicester, UK
I am writing to you as you have signed up to the Education Meetup at Wikimania 2012 and perhaps are interested in how Wikipedia links to education. Wikimedia UK is now running a education related event that may be of interest to you: the EduWiki Conference on 5-6 September in Leicester. This event will be looking at Wikipedia and related charitable projects in terms of educational practice, including good faith collaboration, open review, and global participation. It's a chance to talk about innovative work in your institution or online community, and shape the future of Wikimedia UK's work in this area!

The conference will be of interest to educators, scholarly societies members, contributors to Wikipedia and other open education projects, and students.

Videos
Hi, even though I understand your good intentions videos like the ones about the singers Eurovision entries does not belong at the main articles but at the individual song articles only. I am not investing time changing any added videos but just to notify you about it. Do what you like with the info :)--BabbaQ (talk) 21:26, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I beg to disagree. The videos show the artist move and their face from more angles than a photo and give information on one of their main assests, their voice. They also show how they pronounce their own names. All valuable information in the main article. They might not be the best possible videos but until someone makes a better one, they clearly makes the article better. By the way, what would you think would be an ideal video? We are possibly doing more videos in other subjects and would appreciate all feedback. --Ainali (talk) 05:38, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Wikicomnons Video Upload
Hi Anali, can you and Abbe98 make a tutorial on how to upload long videos to Wikimedia commons on the Wikipedia Weekly Network.Doing this would be good for volunteers.Thank you Jwale2 (talk) 11:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Videos are uploaded in the same way as images, the uploadwizard doesn't care. So any tutorial for uploading images will be the same as for videos. Ainali (talk) 15:36, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually long videos can't be uploaded with uploadWizard. I had to do that for WLM last year. Does anyone have a video in mind? Abbe98 (talk) 18:31, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I did not know. I am pretty sure I have uploaded videos around an hour long though. Ainali (talk) 18:57, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
