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.
