Dear all, I don't have an answer but am pondering related questions: The Open Access Media Importer has uploaded over 10k files so far (mostly videos, plus a few audio files), but I have no idea what percentage that is of the video or audio files that are on Commons.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Videos and http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Sound are similarly incomplete as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_containing_video_clips . However, for category-based stats, we have GLAMorous, which also yields the number of uses per file across projects, as well as the total number of files per project, e.g. * http://toolserver.org/~magnus/glamorous.php?doit=1&category=Videos&use_globalusage=1&ns0=1&depth=20&show_details=1 * http://toolserver.org/~magnus/glamorous.php?doit=1&category=Sound&use_globalusage=1&ns0=1&depth=20&show_details=1 * http://toolserver.org/~magnus/glamorous.php?doit=1&category=Uploaded+with+Open+Access+Media+Importer&use_globalusage=1&ns0=1&show_details=1 Daniel On Tue, Jan 22, 2013 at 3:04 AM, Ward Cunningham <[email protected]> wrote: > Andrew -- Good question.
