Comment This is most definitely featurable, but what do people think about cutting this at :20? The information in the front text would really be better in the description, I think. In addition to including a typo, it also provides a big link to a company website, which isn't so good. There's another author credit at the end, so I don't think there's much in terms of an attribution concern with editing... Thoughts? — Rhododendrites talk | 14:27, 12 October 2019 (UTC)- I support the cuts -- Eatcha (talk) 15:24, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
- I am fine with cutting. matanya • talk 16:25, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
Done -- Eatcha (talk) 04:21, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support Thanks for cutting, Eatcha. To clarify what I meant, though, I think we should retain the credit at the end. Like with a watermark in a photo, there may be implications for attribution. Someone might correct me, though. I certainly support removing the text in the beginning, though. — Rhododendrites talk | 04:34, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

- Support — You should add in the description the time period in which the footage was taken. With the opening credits removed, a viewer may think this is a single night's footage. Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) 06:19, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Question OK, why do you think this is better without the first 20 seconds or any music? And if the reason to cut the instructive text in the first 20 seconds was supposedly to add it to the description, why is most of it not added? I object. "Muonio, located in west Lapland, is directly under the aurora oval. Statistically we have auroras every second day." That is useful information. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:54, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - Also, it makes no sense to credit music that has been removed. It just disappoints the viewer, who wonders whether his/her equipment or connection is at fault. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:56, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- Presumably Eatcha removed the music because of the separate copyright. Based on what I can find, the video itself is by an employee (or owner?) of the hotel which featured it (https://www.anttipietikainen.com/ lists an email address at harriniva.fi). The music, however, is Greg Baumont - Respire! (The Dervish), and I don't see any indication it is freely licensed. The end text is still there because it also credits the videographer/editor, and my impression is that removing in-media attribution is thorny business. Presumably it could be replaced with different text that doesn't credit the music? As for the beginning, my suggestion to remove it is that there's only a little bit of fundamentally useful information. The rest is about the hotel. For example, it says this was filmed in Finnish and Swedish Lapland, then talks about the particular town where the hotel is (which, after all, is in Lapland, but not Swedish Lapland). It's unclear this was filmed where the hotel is, so I take that information as "if you like this, come to our hotel, where you can see these every other day". — Rhododendrites talk | 14:18, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- Rhododendrites and Ikan Kekek If both agree we can add a diffrent(pd/cc) free music, maybe from https://freepd.com/ or User:Eatcha/Free Music -- Eatcha (talk) 07:43, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
- I'm not sure music is essential; I just find it jarring to give credits for music we can't hear. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:56, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
