 The video description part of http://www.amara.org/en/videos/Ttf8IsCHsBWu/info/girl-rising-presenting-the-check/, instead of just importing the YouTube description:

"These 5th grade girls raised over $1200 in 2 hours at a BART station selling baked goods and playing their sextet after being inspired by watching the film Girl Rising."

shows a chunk of HTML source that covers more than that, including e.g. uploader's name. See the copy in piratepad.net/amara_description_html_source (revision 1) and attached screenshot.

To fellow Amara users: if you see the same thing in other Amara video pages, could you please add the link/s in comments to this topic?

To developers: Any explanation for that?

Thank you in advance,

Claude

 Other instances - as in the first case, the video had been added by nuncho, "5 months, 2 weeks ago", I found those by looking up the other videos uploaded by him on the same "date":

• http://www.amara.org/en/videos/GLCPpNEg822K/info/jon-batiste-and-stay-human-performing-for-girl-rising/;
• http://www.amara.org/en/videos/nj85af4y6Ci3/info/girl-rising-stamford-ct-screening-welcome-march-12-2013/;
• http://www.amara.org/en/videos/ZP9dxd8fEGjR/info/holly-gordon-on-grassroots-change/;
• http://www.amara.org/en/videos/RKtba26de5X0/info/girl-rising-are-there-other-boys-like-azmeeras-brother/;

Perhaps related, also added by nuncho on the same "date" and slightly earlier, Amara video pages where the description only says "{'type': u'plain'}" instead of importing the YT description:

• http://www.amara.org/en/videos/a4kvIdYHalr8/info/meet-rosematrie-from-jacmel-haiti/;
• http://www.amara.org/en/videos/pfy8c0RmTI6A/info/meet-hasne-from-egypt/;
• http://www.amara.org/en/videos/lIcSmSJA3X2f/info/meet-maaza-from-ethiopia/;
• http://www.amara.org/en/videos/Kd0OyDRqhdDm/info/meet-teresa-from-sierra-leone/;
• http://www.amara.org/en/videos/gNU3hGOQg9To/info/an-educated-girl-will-change-the-world/;
• http://www.amara.org/en/videos/ibLgBEiYrPnS/info/meet-perla-from-peru/;

I'm not implying that nuncho did anything particular while adding these videos: it was just simple to check those uploaded by him at that time. Were developpers perhaps trying something new back then? I was unable to find a github ticket about this.

Other instances where the descriptions of videos appear as 'type': u'plain': videos added from Kent Lewis' YouTube channel

to the Qatar Foundation International team after ca "2 months, 3 weeks ago" (videos added earlier have correctly transferred descriptions)
