  •  Comment - Interesting discussion. By contrast, if we had a free copy of the video of "Video Killed the Radio Star", we'd snap at a chance to feature it, because it's a very well-produced video that stands up by itself, as does the song, and in addition, it expresses a time and moment of change well and wistfully while also embracing it by being a video. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:05, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support but honestly I didn't watched the full move because it's too big and I never watched a black and white movie so it feels unnatural to me and usually I don't watch many movies in general. But I watched about 45 minutes from different sections, read about it on enwiki and now I know what's it all about and why it is culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. It's a successful movie considering the budget to box office ratio. I also didn't knew that Chinese immigration to the US started before 1900, I am not a historian after all. FV for me -- Eatcha (talk) 18:01, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Reminded me of Megastructures on National Geographic Channel, unfortunately 73% of it is held by Disney(rest by NGS), the videos are not freely licensed despite the fact that National Geographic Society is not for profit. They should have changed the name to Disney geographic channel. Please ignore what I wrote earlier, the video is fine. FV in my eyes. -- Eatcha (talk) 17:49, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just following up to clarify what I mean by "POV" - I mean it seems like it's supposed to show what it's like to be in the procession rather than documentation of the procession (i.e. looking at the back/bells of people in front of you rather than watching the procession go by, with lots of people, fronts/backs, etc.). — Rhododendrites talk |  15:21, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I don't understand it, either. And it's certainly interesting, but Iñaki LL, could you post some kind of explanation of the idea and/or background behind the procession in your file description and/or link to an article that does? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:42, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support FV for me -- Filo gèn' (talk) 15:29, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak  Support. Pretty good, overall. Some criticisms: The block of cocaine looks like a bar of soap. "Cocaine comes from the leaves of the South America coca plant has been used for over a thousand years." I listened to that repeatedly, and that's what I heard. It's not a sentence, and it's ambiguous. If the suggestion is that cocaine is over 1,000 years old, that's incorrect. According to w:Cocaine, it is the leaves of the coca plant themselves that have been chewed by Andean people for over 1,000 years. The cocaine alkyloid wasn't isolated until 1855. "Cool compress" is mispronounced, with "compress" accented as if it were a verb (2nd syllable accented). I'm also skeptical of his pronunciation of "ibogaine", which I would think would be accented on the first syllable. A more important criticism is that the champion-like imagery for cocaethylene is unfortunate because pictures often get through to people more than spoken words. And this is not the most impressive or professional-looking non-fiction style (we really have to use a silly envelope icon for neurotransmitters sending a "message"?). Overall, all of this translates into weak support, and if there were a "Quality Video" category, I'd say we could make this one and not feature it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:22, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The bridge is definitely Pennybacker Bridge (Austin), the skyscraper appears to be Austonian. Most probably the full video was shot in Austin, TX. -- Eatcha (talk) 06:07, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose meh. non-notable musician releases video with non-zero production value doesn't need to = featured. at least the e.g. Rudy Mancuso videos can support articles on that notable entertainer. This person, on the other hand, has had an article deleted on enwiki 4 times. — Rhododendrites talk |  05:38, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Neutral AHA OK --Killarnee (T•R•P) 04:11, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - OK, the High Line looks like that, but the video is disorientingly fast, and what's with the music cutting out halfway through? I think a somewhat slower video showing a walk the entire length of the High Line, starting with going upstairs and ending with going down the ramp uptown would be better, and they could take a little time to view the flowers, which are beautiful. I consider this video valuable, because it's probably the only one we have that shows this much of the High Line, but it's hard for me to support a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:32, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose pretty much per Ikan. --El Grafo (talk) 15:34, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose yes per ikan. the speed, the sound cutting out, more time looking around, less time focused on the people immediately in front of us. — Rhododendrites talk |  05:35, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm not a fan of that timelapse approach to depicting linear features like roads to begin with; the High Line is as this video demonstrates particularly ill-suited to it since it is designed with foot traffic in mind ... those breaks to stop and smell the flowers are especially jarring. If I were to make something like this, I'd mount the camera on something wheeled that would guarantee a smoother ride, and instead of doing this as a single take (really stressful after a while), cut back and forth between takes of the camera moving forward with the crowd, views to the side (especially of the many notable buildings that can be seen from the HL), and perhaps some still shots of OSM pages so the viewer can get a sense of where the camera is and what it might be looking at and how those this things relate to each other in space.

    In addition to the other faults noted by Ikan and Rhododendrites, I'd add that there is no music credit so we have no way of knowing if the music itself is under a free license. Daniel Case (talk) 01:16, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can't speak for others, videos of Most Significant world events with watermarks are FV for me. // Eatcha (talk) 05:45, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I thought "no watermarks" was a rule. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:32, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is a another rule : "all rules can be broken." Keeping my BS aside, this video is very important one and to get watermark free version, you're required to contact(email) Barack Obama Presidential Library. They will send RAW footage of the speech which are usually greater than 4 GiB(maximum file size limit on commons). You need to process that video, request server side upload by creating a ticket on phabricator. Usually takes more than a day to successfully upload a single video with maximum quality supported by Mediawiki. Conclusion : It's not easy to get watermark free videos by contacting BOPL. -- Eatcha (talk) 15:16, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Since this is only 9 minutes it would not be that large. There is a cost ($25) so I understand the hesitation. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 18:51, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think watermarks are okay, when they are located in a corner and not too much, so they don't decrease the experience of watching --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 19:17, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
