The let's play was just an example. I was using the word "you" in a more general sense, I didn't mean you personally.

I think you're making it sound worse than it actually is. As far as I know, none of the admins have been talking about removing videos all together, and commentary is allowed (as I've stated earlier). But there are guidelines in place just as there are guidelines for the text of articles.

The media policy gives an example of how the ideal item run would begin from a bonfire so that it starts from a familiar location and to prevent it from being unnecessarily long. Is that so unreasonable? These guidelines have not been arbitrarily set for the sake of restricting people. They are there to prevent actual problems that have already manifested themselves in the past and to keep some consistency of quality and usefulness.

The discussion on fan art is still ongoing, and it's looking like most people that have commented think that there is a place for it. Lore sections aren't going anywhere because they are (or should be) referenced with in-game descriptions, dialogue, and developer interviews, thus eliminating speculation. The trivia and strategy sections also have their place within articles. But the content on every part of the article has guidelines and it needs to have some kind of relevancy to the article itself. It's logical that the same is extended to the content/commentary of videos that appear on articles. Would you argue for humor or creative writing throughout article text?
