Additional Information for Consideration

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Common Craft. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I am the founder of Common Craft and have a COI here. There are a few updates that will keep the Common Craft page accurate. The information below is not verifiable from a third party, but is easy to verify as factual.

Our video categories have changed. They are now: Technology, Social Media, Internet Safety, Money and Society https://www.commoncraft.com/video-library
Our business has changed. We now license our artwork - over 2100 "Cut-outs" that are downloadable images. https://www.commoncraft.com/cut-out-library
Our video library has grown to include over 70 videos: https://www.commoncraft.com/videolist
The list of videos on the page needs updates.

Further, I wrote a book (Published by Wiley) that contains a number of facts about Common Craft that I believe are useful for this entry: The Art of Explanation: Making your Ideas, Products, and Services Easier to Understand", Amazon.com, (2012)

Preface, page xxii: "Our videos have been viewed over 50 million times online and we have worked with companies such as LEGO, Intel, Google Dropbox and Microsoft to explain their products and services."

Chapter 4, page 41-42 "In 2009, we were connected with a startup called Dropbox, which was looking for a video that would explain their product." "In the fall of 2009, the Dropbox homepage was redesigned and featured our video as the main content." "According to Albert Ni, the former analytics lead at Dropbox, the video has been viewed 25 million times"

Finally, there are currently a couple of points made on my personal page that I believe are relevant here.

"LeFever is often credited with founding the explainer video industry.[3][4] He has received numerous awards for his work, including two Webby nominations."
