Me at the zoo

@Sheila1988, would you be willing to let the video for Me at the zoo (video link) replace the Chandos portrait for April 23? I think that day will better commemorate the video than it will Shakespeare, since it will be the exact 20th birthday whereas it will have been 460 years since the (approximate) birthdate of Shakespeare. 460 is a pretty arbitrary number, at least more so than 20. Of course this is my personal opinion, but I hope you will agree. (Request retracted.) ―Howard • 🌽³³ 18:45, 6 September 2024 (UTC) ; edited 22:19, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Howardcorn33: - previous consensus when this was nominated for DYK has determined that this video is of dubious licencing status, as the copyright holder is assumed to be the videogrpaher Yakov Lapitsky rather than Jawed Karim. As such, it's ineligible to appear on the main page. I have listed it at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/Unused. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 20:38, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I retract my proposal. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 22:17, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
