  • Oppose. Our video standards are atrocious. This is 1981 people, we have color TV and we have video more than 200px across! This recently we shouldn't even be considering black and white video :D\=< (talk) 04:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Most of the video shot of this event was shot by copyrighted private press. This is NASA (i.e. public domain). DurovaCharge! 04:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • That may be true, but how does it address Froth's concerns? --jjron (talk) 04:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'll see what I can do. The image size is pretty standard (unless I'm mistaken) - so look for color? DurovaCharge! 04:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • Personally I find the size a bit small, however that size seems to have been quite readily accepted on other recent video noms. But yes, surely it should be colour. --jjron (talk) 06:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • You're right about them being accepted... but some of us editors thinks that needs to change which is why we oppose a lot of the overly small videos. gren グレン 12:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
