Wikipedia:Voice intro project

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from WikiVIP)

The Voice intro project makes and solicits audio recordings in which Wikipedia subjects speak their name and introduce themselves, in response to a blog post, "Requesting open-licensed, open-format recordings of the voices of Wikipedia subjects for Wikimedia Commons", by Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing). We do this so that we know what notable people sound like; and how they pronounce their own names.

Examples

[edit]

See the infoboxes on:

For a complete list please see the Commons categories.

How to record

For more details of how to make and upload a recording, examples, and a suggested script, please see Commons:Voice intro project.

Adding voice files to Wikipedia articles

You may copy:

{{Listen| filename = XXXXX |title = XXXXX's voice |type = speech |description = recorded XXDATEXX }}

or, for embedding in infoboxes:

| module = {{Listen|pos=center|embed=yes|filename = XXXXX |title = XXXXX's voice |type = speech |description = recorded in XXDATEXX }}
