[Wikimediauk-l] Voice Intro Project
How can the UK chapter support the project I started: http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/open-licensed-format-recordings-voices-wikipedia-wikimedia-commons/ asking the subjects of Wikipedia articles to record a 10-second sample of their speaking voice, for use on those articles? An example script is Hello, my name is [name]. I was born in [place] and I have been [job or position] since [year]. So far, the participants: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Voice_intro_project include Alice Arnold, Sue Black, Quentin Cooper, Corrie Corfield, Cory Doctorow, Jack Schofield, Bill Thompson and Dave Winer; and we've just had our first recording in French - but we need many more. Of course, this isn't limited to article subjects, and it would be a good idea if board members and chapter staff would consider adding their voices, so they can be identified in conference calls and recorded meetings. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Voice Intro Project
Clever idea Andy, lets hope it becomes popular Maybe people could leave a voice sample, a picture? and *the option of having any of their remaining intellectual property rights to be given to the world in the event of their death. - ie no 70 years of waiting for a useful but valueless orphan image * Is their a lawyer who thinks this could be done? I was hoping an idea like this might encourage people to rethink some the idea of slapping copyright messages on your holiday snaps.

That certainly hasn't been an issue so far, not least as most have been OTRS verified. On 8 February 2013 21:12, Thomas Dalton thomas.dal...@gmail.com wrote: How do you verify that it really is them?

Surely its the same problem that you have with a photograph - and that doesnt appear to be a big problem of people putting up the wrong picture. AGF?

AGF? AGF has never been a counterargument to verifiability before... With pictures, you can usually find a reliable source with a picture in fairly easily and make sure it is the same person. That's much harder with voice. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
