•  Comment That's a very well made video, both from the technical side of things (resolution etc.) and content-wise (although the file name is a but misleading, as only a short section of the video is about the preparation of the tea). Two points: 1) I've never seen a cube-shaped sugar crystal. 2) Are you sure that you have read and understood the Terms and Conditions of mysimpleshow.com? At a quick glance, it does not look like they would be compatible with COM:LICENSE. --El Grafo (talk) 14:23, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

 Comment. Well. I created that video at a workshop at Wikimana 2016 and told them, that i will upload it to commons. -Matthias Süßen (talk) 15:07, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Info When I made the video, the terms of use were obviously different: Simpleshow foundation supports authors with a half-automated video creation tool (mysimpleshow) to create videos for Wikimedi Commons / Wikipedia through an easy workflow. Here are first videos created with the tool and based on the Wikipedia articles: . --Matthias Süßen (talk) 14:03, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Great explanation, high educational value, technically well executed. Awesome! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 00:48, 2 October 2019 (UTC) (full disclosure: my grandmother's family came from some part of Frisia and I'm a tea drinker)

•  Comment - It's a breezy video and is educational in various ways, but I find the constant wiping across the screen somewhat off-putting. For the record, I'm a tea drinker and don't drink coffee, but the claims about tea vs. coffee in the video aren't substantiated with any statistics, so I consider them questionable unless some references are provided. I also find the pronunciations and voice somewhat grating. Sorry, I hope it's not something about my mood speaking. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:26, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Sorry, I just have a hard time getting behind most SimpleShow videos. They are intended to be explainer videos, but I find that they usually don't add much, if anything, beyond the text itself. Often, in fact, they provide worse information than just the text itself because they try to cram complex concepts into generic clip art that, at best, doesn't add anything, and at worst is misleading. For example, "Mixture" here is represented by a kitchen stand mixer that I'm quite sure isn't used for mixing tea. The "more and more people have problems with caffeine" combines a group of happy people (?) with someone who looks to have depression or psychological problems? "Kluntjes" is represented by sugar cubes, but none of the images I see of them are cubes (this one could just be my ignorance, though)? "Better quality of life" is a stamp of the letter Q? "Strong tea" is a flexing bicep with a twinkle sound, and "three steps" is an image of three stairs. Beyond all of this, there are claims in here, such as those talking about how caffeine/coffee/tea do/don't affect people, that make the absence of sources here kind of problematic. I appreciate the intent, and relative to other SimpleShow videos this one is just fine, but I can't see featuring them. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  23:57, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
