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 On Jan 22, 2013, at 9:21 AM, Laura Hale wrote: > I don't know that I add that category when I do add videos to articles > myself.
