Science award for bot that imports multimedia from academic publications to Wikimedia Commons

The Open Access Media Importer Bot (OAMI) searches the database PubMed Central for scholarly papers that include audio and video files as supplementary material. If it finds files that are under a suitable free license, the bot uploads them to Wikimedia Commons. The majority of the material comes from biomedical research papers. The bot has imported over 14,000 multimedia files since 2012; most of them are videos. They form a large part of the around 38,000 video files that currently exist on Wikimedia Commons. Over 700 of the imported files are currently used on Wikimedia projects, on pages that together receive about 3 million page views per month.

On October 21, at an event in Washington, DC (USA) during the annual Open Access Week, User:Daniel Mietchen received an ASAP award for the team behind the OAMI. The "Accelerating Science Award Program" is sponsored by 27 organizations that support open access. Each winner receives US$30,000.

New project encourages African communities to contribute local content to Wikimedia projects

Kumusha Takes Wiki is a new project for supporting people in Africa "to create and contribute freely-licensed information, texts, images and media about their communities (villages, townships, suburbs, inner cities, etc)." It is funded by the Orange Foundation. Photos will be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and text will be provided in a form that is suitable for reuse on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.

"Kumusha" is a word from the Shona language (which is spoken in Zimbabwe and neighboring countries), and means "the place where you come from." The project "Kumusha Takes Wiki" is part of "Activate Africa", a network of projects and initiatives that aim to encourage contribution to Wikimedia projects in Africa, launched at Wikimania 2013.
