Infobox image
Should we use the video's thumbnail in the infobox instead of the video itself? $456,000 Squid Game in Real Life! has done so already. TWOrantulaTM (enter the web) 13:41, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
:I'll add it and see what happens. TWOrantulaTM (enter the web) 20:50, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
:UPDATE: It turns out the video is freely licensed. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130606120257/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw This archived page] specifically states, "This video is published under the Creative Commons Attribution license." See [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Me_at_the_zoo.webm this deletion discussion]. Sigh... TWOrantulaTM (enter the web) 16:53, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
::The video is not freely licensed. Per the DYK discussion above, it was released by Karim under the CC licence at one point in the past, but he isn't obviously the copyright holder. It was filmed by his friend Yakov Lapitsky and, unless it was explicitly released to Karim in some way, it isn't the latter's video to release. (It's also no longer under the CC licence incidentally). I've reverted back to the fair-use thumbnail for the time being. — Amakuru (talk) 20:10, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
:::CC licenses are irrevocable. - Sebbog13 (talk) 18:59, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
::::They're only irrevocable if the person who released them under that licence was the actual copyright holder. In this case it doesn't seem that he was. A release by Yakov Lapitsky is required, the one by Karim in his YouTube is channel is irrelevant. — Amakuru (talk) 14:24, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

TrademarkedTWOrantula, I saw on the GOCE requests page that you are open to feedback. I didn't notice any particular trends in errors but I am happy to explain anything if you have questions. I did change a number of sentences from passive to active voice. Passive voice isn't incorrect, per se, but active voice is often clearer and easier to read, especially when talking about something concrete like who recorded a video.

about the temporary thumbnail
i feel like it would be suitable for the temporary thumbnail to be added to the "Changes to original video" section
