Motovlogging on Wikipedia competition ?

[ParisianZee]

Hello everyone,

You would be lying if you said that you've never in your life used Wikipedia. It's a brilliant participation system and even though the information it contains is sometimes at least partly incorrect, or biased, it is of great help from time to time.

Have you ever contributed to Wikipedia ? Probably not.

The motovlogging community has grown at an impressive rate for the past four or five years. Still, there is no mention of it on Wikipedia, no article, no information about this hobby.

Motovlogging is kind of brilliant because of the multiple things you can do with it :

- Tell interesting stories
- Share information with others about anything and everything, from one's way of life to information about the reproduction of ants 3000 feet below ground.
- Create mind blowingly good videos thanks to great editing and/or cinematography skills
etc..

All of this makes it worth telling people what motovlogging is all about.

I was wondering if you guys would like to enter a competition. Its goal would be to submit what will be a Wikipedia article.

The preview articles would be posted here (links to a website preferable, because articles with images and page layout are better), and the members of this forum would vote on the best article.

The member who gets the most votes also gets to put the article on Wikipedia, to inform the world of our great endeavours.

That is just a humble idea though. Any takers ?

Oh no, to be clear, I think there should be a motovlogging wiki entry, probably as a subset or branch off of the Vlog entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlog

I was just humorously pointing out the 'Quah's urbandictionary entry.

Let's have a go at it then

I'll try to write something later in the evening. But English not being my native tongue and all, it might just be shit.

I think you probably speak English better than me, and I'm 100% English so I would worry.

Briliant Idea,

-Date of oldest vlog recorded? (Link to in on the Wiki page) would be a good subheading

I'll try and squeeze more out of my brain when some pop into it.
I'll scan the internet and YT's channels to find some good info.

 

[ParisianZee]

Yeah and we could also go on about a bit of history :

The first motovlogs were usually recorded with a simple digital camera in a helmet blabla, the first HD cameras to be used for motovlogging appeared in 2009-2010, blablabla, today some camera brands design helmet cameras specifically for this purpose blabla.

Something like that I guess.

 

[AZZ3R]

Yea thats a good idea, everyone uses different cameras and also has different anlges on there bikes & helmets so feed back from vloggers that use

Go Pro's
Contour
Contour+
Drifts

And many more. everyone could have a good imput here.

Ouch. That's going to be a touchy topic. I know about 4 or 5 who would make that claim. And they would all be wrong.

Yeah but we can go around it with something like :

"It is unsure who were the first motovloggers and when, precisely, this trend really started. However, it is safe to say that the first motovlogs were probably recorded and uploaded on Youtube and other video sharing websites around 200x, from all corners of the world".

Followed by something along the lines of :

"Some motovlog videos on those website date as far back as [day months year]" [and reference to video in question]

But :

I think naming any motovloggers on the motovlog wiki page would be inappropriate and would generate endless e-penis size competitions and debates.

 

[misteroldschool]

i thought it started on live video lol

anyways enough of my trying to pick a fight, if anyone has contact with woodenchairs he is pretty knowledgeable on this subject
