Comment (no support or oppose yet as I haven't had the time to view the film; rather late) - This is unlikely to run in POTD in the near future, owing to the possible COI of having an image/video of a Wikipedian in the slot. Our image of Mike Godwin, for instance, did not run until 3 years after he left the Wikimedia Foundation. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:42, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Understood, and no worries about that! — Cirt (talk) 16:43, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support A good-quality, professionally produced video by a notable Wikipedian. Adam Cuerden(talk) 17:14, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - In the captions, "Nineteenth Century" needs to be "nineteenth-century". There may be other issues with the closed captions, but for some reason this isn't streaming well right now. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:35, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I asked Victor, and he gave me the correct link, so I fixed it (note that the italics display on the video themselves). If I missed anything, just don't fiddle with the timings. Adam Cuerden(talk) 14:25, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for the help! — Cirt (talk) 17:33, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support, though main page appearance should be discussed in a couple years at the earliest. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:10, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Crisco 1492, and no worries about some time passing before main page appearance. — Cirt (talk) 17:37, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Although I do think that six months to a year should be ample. It's not like she was employed by Wikipedia. The one year anniversary might not be bad. Adam Cuerden(talk) 21:17, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, but that could be a separate discussion for a later point in time, after this discussion has been closed. — Cirt (talk) 22:45, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (unless addressed, the closer should consider this an oppose vote): I was under the impression that FP was not accepting videos. That's a large part of the reason that Featured Sounds, during its revival a few years ago, accepted videos. If we're going to allow this one, we need to allow high quality videos at FP in general, and that needs to be a change that the Featured Pictures community is willing to live with (and back with support votes when warranted).

What is allowed in theory and what happens in practice are not always the same thing though. It might be written into the rules, but back when I was involved in FS, people seemed to believe that a video didn't have a chance in FP. That's why I really need to hear from FP regulars that they would support videos in the future. Sven ManguardWha? 00:43, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Crisco 1492, for this helpful explanation. Most appreciated, — Cirt (talk) 03:29, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Per above, "Voting period ends on 6 May 2014 at 16:21:21 (UTC)", it now appears the voting period for this nomination is over. — Cirt (talk) 18:07, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
