VOA News files

• Source to upload from: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.voanews.com/mp3/voa/english/nnow/NNOW_HEADLINES.mp3
  • Do the media URLs follow a pattern? They all have the same name. The date when archived is given in 14 digits, with the first eight digits being the year, month, and day respectively, with the remaining digits being the time of day archived, in UTC.
  • Does the site have an API? Don't know.
  • What else could ease uploading? (is the site valid XHTML, do they use a WCM…?) Don't know.
  • Did you contact the site owner? No need to, since U.S. government works so public domain.

• Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …): VOA world news headline newscast audio files for (almost) every day spanning from 5 May 2009 to 6 July 2019.

• Which license tag(s) should be applied? Template:PD-USGov-VOA

• Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created? Just use the standard one. Upload as "VOA News Headlines (MONTH DAY, YEAR)". If possible, upload them in FLAC, WAV, and OGG.
