Wikis should ideally be a professional, neutral source of information and be apart from subjective opinion. Articles themselves aren't really the place for the author to be personable and purely entertaining to the readers. There are users that prefer this style, and that's fine – there are many places where they can find it elsewhere, or even here in certain capacities (the comments section, blog posts and the forums). But I think it's important that there is also a place where people can go to find information more efficiently and be away from speculative opinion and entertainment for entertainment's sake.

Can you be more specific about what is too restrictive about the video guidelines and what you feel is holding you back? The media policy does allow for commentary and narration if it's warranted and the information is relevant. But if the commentator spends the first few minutes asking the audience how they are doing, chatting about irrelevant things, cracking jokes, etc., then I don't think that it belongs on the wiki.
