•  Info This video shows the crimes happening in Venezuela and how people are forced to leave their country, it's a music video with a high national importance. created by Froid International (See image description) - uploaded by and nominated by -- The Photographer (talk) 19:52, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose It is obviously professionally shot/edited/recorded. But the 21:9 ratio is more suited for cinema than TV yet the 1280x542 resolution is well below the resolution needed for quality cinema projection and less than HDTV, ever mind contemporary cinema/TV 4K standards. Worthy though subject may be, I don't really see what is "featurable" about it. -- Colin (talk) 23:05, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

I see you made a big effort to find sophisticated critics. This video was recorded in Venezuela, there has not penetrated the HD technology, but who cares?. Otherwise, I invite you to edit the FP video requirements. What about of audio quality, maybe its not a SACD?. Surely you will answer with a huge text completely logical, thanks in advance. --The Photographer (talk) 23:11, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

You nominated it, so what is it about this video that you think makes it among the finest media on Commons? I do think the Commons:Featured media candidates page needs some work. That page appear to be the work of one person and bears no resemblance to reality (it seems to require rule-of-thirds, 320x240 and is less than 100MB, which this video fails on all three!) It doesn't seem like we have any decent community-developed standards for judging video, but I don't see why we should accept just anything that was professionally shot and released with a free licence as FP. What is special about this from a technical, artistic and cinematic POV? -- Colin (talk) 23:53, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Extended content

Colin, Colin... always trying to find some technicalities to annoying others... just one tip, especially about videos, you should abstain... -- RTA 03:53, 22 February 2016 (UTC) RTA, unlike you, I'm not posting here to simply make a personal attack. My motivation is not "to annoy others". If you disagree about what makes a featured picture/video just say so. The video is professionally done, but it is about six years out of date technically. I'm sorry if Venezuela broadcast TV is far behind the rest of the world, but we don't make one rule for FP for some countries and one for others. In 2016 I don't see why YouTube quality is "Featurable" just because it has a free licence. -- Colin (talk) 08:38, 22 February 2016 (UTC) "I don't see why" >>> "The video is professionally done", so that's it. If you knew me, you would not say that what I'm doing here is personal attack, especially when the nominator is someone that accuses me of the same thing that you are accusing me now... Just saying that you should not have so strong opinion of things that you don't know! The compression on this video allows us to see in 1080p monitors, different from the majority of 480p videos. And that you should stop launch technicalities that only bothers you in the name of the whole world... e.g., "21:9 ratio is more suited for cinema than TV", TV? How will download it to what on TV, and if we need to do it, our monitors simply apply blacks strip, the opposite would not be possible, and as featured photography, this should be a all propose media, not only for WP, not only for the internet. By the way, I can guarantee that Venezuela is not the exception, you are living in a bubble... -- RTA 17:49, 22 February 2016 (UTC) The world is full of professional videos. And full of videos with a message (political, humanitarian, ecological...). So sticking a CC licence on it gets free hosting on Commons and an automatic "Featured" status? We don't give a professional portrait an automatic FP if they upload a 640x480 thumbnail. So "professional" is an insufficient requirement. You are clearly annoyed by my review, but to claim I do it deliberately to annoy you or the nominator is a personal attack. The comments I made are not intended to be a comprehensive argument for/against the image: most people leave a very terse comment when supporting or opposing. Just accept I am not wowed by this, and attacking me personally is certainly not going to help me change my mind. -- Colin (talk) 18:56, 22 February 2016 (UTC) You still crying because of: "Colin, Colin... always trying to find some technicalities to annoying others... just one tip, especially about videos, you should abstain...", are you that fragile? Or this are some kind of paranoid? This was not a "personal attack", this was lament... Nothing more to say, beijinhos! -- RTA 03:27, 23 February 2016 (UTC) RTA, throwing more personal attacks at me (paranoid, fragile) while claiming unconvincingly that you were merely lamenting, is just pathetic. How about keeping your "laments" to yourself next time. Unless you want to be blocked. -- Colin (talk) 08:24, 23 February 2016 (UTC) A threat!! Wow, I've been seeing a lot of thouse here, on this free and colaborative environment, weird ow. Normally we see violence when the person doesn't know how to argue. And it was not a statement, it was a question... but saying that I'm pathetic, this is a statement, and this is a attack. This is a lament, I'm sad for you, you need to be violent to impose your opinion, see how long you stop to built argumentations, and started to threat people and find weird things to oppose. See ya, :* -- RTA 14:28, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
