Thread:Talk:How to contribute/Removal of video

Hi. I've removed the video (File:How to hack on Wikipedia.webm) from this page for now as I think it's problematic. In my experience, developers have short attention spans. They've come to this page to hopefully find a way to contribute ("How to contribute"). The first minute of this video is spent polling the audience. The second minute is spent explaining Wikipedia and MediaWiki and Wikimedia, using the wrong MediaWiki logo, over-emphasizing Wikipedia, and confusingly showing Wikia and other non-Wikimedia projects in relation to MediaWiki and its sister projects.

I'm not sure what's in the rest of the video as I got bored and stopped watching. This is part of the issue with this video. A video about "How to hack on Wikipedia" should explain how to hack on Wikipedia. Quickly. Efficiently. Logically. Perhaps we can link to the slideshow presentation used in the video or something similar? The video as-is is doing more harm than good.
