The vote was started, by me but my intentions were not for a "flash player" but merely for a player in general. Any kind of player IMO would be fine...although I don't much prefer flash...

Just a heads up, their is currently a vote on wikinews as to weather or not to allow flash videos. And my browser doesn't like me today, and won't let me copy and paste the link :(
I see this is already mentioned on the page, but for the benefit of those skimming the list, Flash isn't allowed on Wikimedia projects as the format is proprietary.
Yeah. Any content held in Flash format is non-free (content must be freely accessible). Since this is in conflict with Wikimedia's aims, why is it being put to a vote?
