Wiki Speaks Your Language

[edit]

Hello DivineMeaninglessness. I have noticed that you are very active in recording audio files with content from Wikipedia articles and therefore decided to write you personally about the launch of the Wiki Speaks Your Language initiative with the goal of enriching the Wikimedia projects with freely licenced audio (and video) files documenting spoken examples of every language, language variety and dialect in the world.

The idea originates from the curiosity of many readers viewing language articles not only to read about the language but also to hear how does it sound. In most of the cases, our language articles lack such files and readers usually end up searching videos on YouTube, notwithstanding that we have the capacity as a movement and the resources to meet their wish.

The initiative lists three possible ways of acquiring the freely licenced audio (and video) files: 1) by adapting existing audio and video files on Wikimedia Commons (mostly from the Spoken Wikipedia projects), 2) by liberating existing audio and video files from the repositories of GLAM and educational institutions, and 3) by engaging Wikimedia communities, GLAM and educational institutions in the recording of new audio and video files.

In the first phase of the initiative, the easiest way to start is by working with the resources we already have and get people involved in adapting existing videos from the WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia. There are some useful tips on what the existing files should be adapted to. Since English has many different varieties that our readers would be willing to explore, it would be very useful if the authors of the files also indicate the varieties (e.g. British English, American English, Canadian English, Australian English etc.). The adapted files should be categorised under "Category:Wiki Speaks English" (or "Category:Wiki Speaks British English", "Category:Wiki Speaks British English" etc.) and added to the list of languages.

I would be glad if you can forward this message to other active users in the project who may be interested in participating. Thanks in advance.

Best regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 13:59, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Invite to Join WikiProject for Spoken Wikipedia

[edit]
Hi DivineMeaninglessness! I am Galendalia and I have revived the WikiProject for Spoken Wikipedia. I noticed that you signed up at some point to be a participant and as I am reviving this project, one of my tasks is to get the participant list in order. Would you please go to the Participants List and add your name and language(s) you speak? If you are already there and do not want to be, please remove yourself. If you want to remain, please put remain next to your name. If I do not see anything, I will move you to the inactive participant list. I am putting a timeline of 7 days on this action to help keep things moving along. It would also be great if you would be willing to join the task force for Pronunciation that would be awesome, as there are troublesome words we run into.

Thank you for considering joining us. If you decide to leave, I will be sad to see you leave as so many people have done a great job on the recordings and any work you have done makes a significant difference.
