Thank you very much for writing this story, I was wholly unaware of the video project before as well a persistent barrier that illiteracy presents to a written encyclopedia like Wikipedia in providing access to knowledge. One thing that I would like to note though is that there are places throughout the article where there are formatting or grammatical errors so I would encourage you to double check your writing in the future. Again, thank you very much for writing this article. The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 17:47, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ian Furst: I have made the changes that I was considering. Please do review them and make sure that they communicate what you meant when you wrote the article and change anything that you wouldn't have written or do not mean. The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 00:41, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's an incomplete sentence in this article: due to smaller and less ., in the Multi-lingual section. What were you trying to say? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 12:30, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Blame the copyeditor and the copyeditor is me. Sorry everyone for putting out choppy edit. When this article came up for publication someone had to copyedit it. This is not my talent and I did this at the last minute without consulting the original author. I changed quite a bit of the phrasing and some of the links. I apologize for errors and miscommunication, which are all mine. Perhaps If I had things to do over again I would have edited much less. Ian Furst, great article and I enjoyed myself when I was trying to edit it. Please accept my good will and forgive my hasty attempt. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:16, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take the heat; I was incommunicado for the week leading up to publication. Thanks to everyone who stepped up. Ian Furst (talk) 19:30, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
the main FOCUS of the article is Video based summaries of Wikipedia articles and that is a very good idea...IMO--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 11:17, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
