So what? We just went through lengthy discussions about whether or not to keep Latuff images and the result was that Commons is not censored. Just because a certain group of people doesn't like what a certain file depicts, I don't see why we should not host them. If they are in scope, they can be uploaded.

Hoi, I had a look at the VIDEOS they made available. They are too big for us to upload. They were boring. they are not the encyclopaedic material we are looking for.
Making material available under a free license, does not mean that it automatically qualifies as useful. Thanks, GerardM

I haven't looked at them in detail, but it seems to me that if the videos as such are 'big and boring' (which I guess they are), they might still be useful by cutting out single scenes, and put _those_ as videos on Commons.
Not to mention screenshots, which might provide invaluable photographs of people whom cannot be easily approached, or scenes from places where we cannot go.

Indeed the people who edit the article are starting to work on that:

These ones seem pretty useful, and clearly fall within the Commons scope. How is documenting the effects of a war not useful, for a project that hosts both journalism-related material and historical content? It's too bad that they are too big for our current capacity, but still, they seem both interesting as useful to me.

I know that it is not censored nor would I object. It was merely an observation. Sandahl
