- Oppose Wrong aspect ratio, needs editing of the intro. --Janke | Talk 21:41, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Janke, I can edit out the intro but what's wrong with the aspect ratio? Bammesk (talk) 14:51, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
- Bammesk The proportions are wrong (as on a 3:2 frame stretched to 16:9). The frame looks stretched horizontally/anamorphically by at least 10-15%. You can see it best when the camera rolls, and the shape of the subject stretches (at 1 min 33 sec, for instance). I don't think it's just the fisheye lens, but that the frame format has been changed from the original. --Janke | Talk 17:28, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
- Look at this example, note the vertical black bars: [[1]] Another thing: How is it determined that this is CC licensed? The original is an unlisted video on youtube... --Janke | Talk 17:59, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
- I see it, you are right. I am not sure how material the distortion is though. Let's see what others say. About the license, copyright owners are free to change their license after publication, I assume that's what happened here. That's why Wikipedia does a review at the time the image is uploaded to wiki, to verify. A CC license can't be undone later. Actually this was archived here in 2017, if you expand the owner's description box there is a CC note at the bottom. Bammesk (talk) 18:21, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
