That is AWESOME. I didn't know it. :) You just gave me another idea. We could try to make these short interviews with some wikipedians with articles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedians_with_articles Last semester a friend invited me to give a lecture on the Wikipedia Education Program at his university, the same of professor Marcelo Gleiser, [1] and I though it would be a great opportunity to invite him to the program or even make short comments about Wikipedia. Since he has made a program for popularizing science in a big TV news here in Brazil, I think that would be really good to raise awareness about Wikipedia and the program. Some friends from Wikimedia Brasil have made in 2010 also videos with Lawrence Lessig and Sergio Amadeu, the later a famous activit on copyright reform and free software here in Brazil: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ALessig_sobre_a_Wikipedia.ogv http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AS%C3%A9rgio_Amadeu_fala_sobre_Wikipedia.ogv We should explore more this possibility as well! I hope this semester in Brazil we can invite some prominent professors and make videos of them commenting Wikipedia articles and wikipedians learning from their comments and improving the articles while we debate the subject.
