- Well, I'll neither oppose nor support at this time, but I have a few questions: Can Wikipedia feature self-promoting material? Somewhere I've seen some comments against that. Technically, a brilliant edit, but I have some reservations regarding the video timeline - to me, it has four endings within itself, i.e. for the message it carries, I feel it is way too long. The choice of music was also a bit annoying to my ears. But, YMMV, so, as said, I'll abstain for the time being. --Janke | Talk 08:11, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
- Support Self-promotion here seems acceptable to me. --Tremonist (talk) 14:17, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: I am not going to support or oppose at this time, but I do feel inclined to say that, even if promoted, this video does not belong on the MP. Josh Milburn (talk) 23:31, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
- Comment – Well done and very engaging. Just a small mishap: on the first slide Encyclopedia is missing a "c". (also at 2:20) Bammesk (talk) 05:55, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
- Bammesk It's kind of astounding how many dozens, and possibly hundreds, of people didn't notice that, including me. So you get a copyeditor's barnstar for spotting that. I'll need to re-render the video to fix it, which unfortunately I may not have time to do for quite awhile. --Pine✉ 19:08, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
- I missed it the first time too. Thanks for the barnstar :) Bammesk (talk) 21:34, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination per Bammesk. --19:08, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
