No indication that the audio part is available under a commons compatible license. Pristurus (talk) 22:16, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'm a campus ambassador for this course (just for disclosure). While I'd certainly prefer that all videos contain a complete chain of information for video and audio, I think we might also want to consider that students uploading these videos are new to Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons. It pisses me off a little bit to see no comment on the file discussion page and no comment (apart from a notification) on the uploaders talk page about the status of the audio in this file. The absence or presence of contact isn't dispositive in terms of deletion, but that's not really the best way to go about these things. Protonk (talk) 20:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for your answer. Indeed it would be nice to comment things in a more personal way however our human resources are limited. And audio related problem in videos are not very seldom on commons. So please don't be angry and let´s try to solve the problem. If the music is available under a commons compatible license simply add the information to the file description. Else remove the audio or (better) replace it with "free" music. At last: the aim of this (and many others) deletion request is not the deletion of the video, the aim is to clear legal issues to hold it here on commons.

- Thanks for the reply. Like I said, I didn't want my reply to lean one way or another on the subject of deletion, but to remind editors here (I normally edit on en.wp) that you are dealing with people who mean well but are new to free culture, commons and copyright issues. The first contact they have with the project is our best (and often last) opportunity to impart all of our values to them. I respect the legal and policy issue having made many of the same deletion decisions on another project but it is still vital to engage uploaders as people. In this case this editor has a few allies, as it were, but many don't. Please bear that in mind. Protonk (talk) 23:26, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- User:Cupcakelynda has uploaded a new version of the file at File:Final Mehndi (Henna Tattoo).theora.ogv. Her original music was from iMovie, but the new music is from Wikimedia Commons. We will document the source in the Commons file description. Thanks for your patience as we continue our learning process about contributing to Wikimedia Commons. --Jgmikulay (talk) 20:11, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for uploading the new version, well done (without any legal issues now)!If you need to upload a new version of a existing file you may simply use the update function on the file description page. Regards, --Pristurus (talk) 07:16, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
