•  Support The ISA tool didn't work, 246,565 impressions of computer-aided-tagging and just 66,763 for Isa-tool [1.0]. Using ISA is actually very similar to a data entry job, most users hate entering data manually. It would have been better if ISA wasn't part of this video and perfect if computer-aided-tagging was included in it. Those who are unfamiliar with google Crowdsource app, computer-aided-tagging is a clone of it. Check out the screenshots @ Crowdsource - Play store. // Eatcha (talk) 03:08, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Naive question Is proper categorization not required at all for nominating, never mind promoting a video? What exactly is the subject here? Is there a Wikipedia article etc. it may be useful in. I fail to understand. --A.Savin 18:13, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
• I couldn't find a category maybe because it's a new type of test. But added Category:Indiana University Police Academy, creating Category:Chicken Test would not be very useful (maybe I am wrong?) as it's not a standard test worldwide but only used in the United States( Indiana Police and USAF ). There's no Wikipedia article for Chicken Test (yet), but it can be used in w:Indiana State Police or w:Police academy. I guess this (the test) is eligible for a Wikidata Item. -- Eatcha (talk) 09:35, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

  So you sincerely think, if you create Category:Indiana University Police Academy with the only Category:Police of Indiana this category is properly categorized, and that if you add only this Category:Indiana University Police Academy to the video, the video is properly categorized. --A.Savin 11:21, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose Meh, not blown away by this. 1) It's a bit US-centric ("call 911", temperature on the thermometer in °F). 2) It's dumbed down to the point where it's getting misleading. For example, while they suggest to "cover your coughs and sneezes", they fail to mention that using your bare hand to do so is a very bad idea. 3) despite the cartoony graphics, the whole performance feels a bit stiff, the Merkel-Raute does not seem to come naturally to him. --El Grafo (talk) 08:48, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

   Oppose Putting quick promotion on hold while requesting more eyes: @Paris 16, El Grafo, PantheraLeo1359531, Der Wolf im Wald, and Andrew J.Kurbiko: Thoughts? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:11, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

  I've found the recording on the YouTube and I think it's OK. You can also upload a new version of Nocturne, Op. 55 to Commons.--Paris 16 (talk) 17:36, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

  @Paris 16: Ah, the timing matches perfectly, just with a middle section edited out it seems. In that case the sound is almost certainly non-free, as Brigitte Engerer is a famous pianist who lived from 1952 to 2012 with no evidence that she released any of her recordings under a free license. The sound will need to be replaced. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:47, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

  But you can see on YouTube: "Licensed to YouTube by: Harmonia Mundi (on behalf of harmonia mundi); Public Domain Compositions, and 8 Music Rights Societies".--Paris 16 (talk) 18:03, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

  "Public Domain Compositions" - Chopin has been dead for 170 years. There is a separate copyright for the performance and recording. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:09, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment I just took a stab at editing the audio, and it looks like there are significant timing differences between our free version and Engerer's which complicates things a bit. I might relearn this piece and try to record it myself at a tempo that matches the video. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:29, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose now, unfortunately. --El Grafo (talk) 08:17, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Support I saw this before reading the above, and the music did not strike me as problematic/distracting. My one request: could someone more familiar with Paris than me please add some TimedText labels that say where these locations are? (a few are obvious, but not others [at least for me]) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  20:33, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

  @Rhododendrites: The problem is not that the music is distracting, but that it is non-free, making the video non-free. Don't worry, I plan to make a recording myself and have it ready by the end of the week. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:48, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

  Ohhh I misunderstood I just took a stab at editing the audio -- I thought it had already been replaced. No wonder it sounds good. :) Well consider my support conditional per above, of course. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  20:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

  Yeah, my comment was in reference to editing in the free version we have already on Commons, which is unsuitable for this video due to timing differences, and that's why I'm recording a new version myself where I can play it at whatever tempo is necessary to match the video. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:55, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
