reuse existing Videos on Commons

I propose to also focus on reusing existing videos and include them (maybe in shorter or remixed versions) to wikipedia articles. For our Web Science MOOC on wikiversity we are in the process of creating short educational videos. 53 of them are already done and on on wikimedia commons. We are currently in the process of producing at least the same amount of videos again. I think some of them would perfectly fit some of the wikipedia articles (which are also linked in the learning units of our MOOC on Wikiversity) Unfortunately including only a few of the videos to existing wikipedia articles was considered to be video spam c.f Ethernet talk page and my blog article with my experiences about videos on wikimedia projects. If you support this proposal I could select 10 to 20 videos from this list of commons which could be included to Wikipedia articles. For some of them it might be useful to record a new audiotrack since I am not a mothertoung speaker. --Renepick (talk) 10:04, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
