Richard, I appreciate your candor.
Your approach sounds good. Currently the video is hosted on a proprietory video/web server and there is a requirement to move this. My plan was to migrate the video content to Wikipedia under a Public Realm License, create a set of linked Wikipedia pages which would then be included within the next DBpedia grab. So a better plan might be, move the video archive to a server within the public realm (suggestions ?) then build pages around the content that includes RDF/Metadata, and as you say wait for the bots. In this way side stepping the need to submit content via Wikipedia ? As for promoting my own video yep WP are rightly very clear on that. The point about the project is I did not make any of the videos, I just set up the software tools/server and invited people to record their own views on themselves, their community etc, so in that sense I hope I doesn't feel to much like self promotion, more an attempt to engage with the possibilities of community based technologies.
