Maybe people don't know but video donation happens in Wikimedia already and it doesn't need to be from Youtubers.
Here is my favorite example: German public broadcaster (ARD) donates short informational videos to Wikipedia and they are used in articles in German Wikipedia. They get a lot of views. Here is a list of videos from one of their programs named Tagesschau: https://mvc.toolforge.org/index.php?category=Videos+by+Tagesschau+(ARD)×pan=&rangestart=2023-08-01&rangeend=2023-09-01&limit=100 For example, this video about Golf Stream and impact of climate change on it which is used in the article of Golf Stream in German Wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kurzerkl%C3%A4rt,_Golfstrom_-_Tagesschau.webm Or when cold or hot temperatures can be dangerous to humans: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gut_zu_wissen,_Wann_wird_K%C3%A4lte_gef%C3%A4hrlich_-_Tagesschau.webm Or an explanation on Carthage, even with English subtitles: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Karthago,_Ph%C3%B6nizische_Gro%C3%9Fstadt_(CC_BY-SA_4.0).webm It'd really be nice to see more partnerships like this. Whether with youtubers, public broadcasters, museums, universities, or anything like that! Am Fr., 26.
