Laura -- If there are extra fields I should capture from the article's markup, 
I'm happy to add them to my results.

I'm 2.6 million articles through the parse of the jan 2 dump. I've found close 
to 3000 videos so far.

My parse is running at 6mb per second. I have to run to the train station to 
pickup a colleague. I'm going to see if I can finish on battery. (I should have 
done this in the cloud but thought it would be handy to have a current copy of 
wikipedia on my laptop.)

More soon. -- Ward
