Adding video-taped interviews is the next step. Imagine articles about the Second World War containing video interviews by Wikipedians of people who lived through certain parts of it. There is no inherent POV issue there, so long as we observe NPOV, just as we do with text. Primary sources are already allowed, so long as used descriptively and not interpreted.

I had no idea we were so liberal about original research/primary sources from the countless hours I spent in #wikipedia-en-help telling new users why their cited references were rejected. Well, now we can finally have those thousands of articles about cure-alls and diet-pills, and penis-enlargement exercises, since the manufacturer's own research would satisfy those standards.
I'm not sure how this is related to the multimedia and images question? Will having multimedia illustrating an article mean that we have more cure-alls and diet-pills articles? Or is this a slippery-slope argument?
Now I wonder who I can cite for this picture of Bigfoot(allegedly) I found somewhere.
