@GRuban: Recent mainspace and adequate length. Copyvio check has no issues. Hook is interesting and verified in the source. QPQs have been provided, image is clear. I’m a little concerned about the image's license, though - it's taken from a Vimeo clip, with what is a similar video on YouTube that does -not- have a CC license. Could you clarify the licensing?

- @Juxlos: Not sure what I can clarify, I'm afraid, but I'll try. The video is licensed "License: Attribution Share Alike" as can be seen on its page, https://vimeo.com/255968540. Looking into the page code we can see that is specifically Attribution Share Alike 3.0 as it says:

- The video is by Chromat, the fashion company. They have owned the Vimeo account of that name since March 2011. They have posted 20 videos there, earliest one posted in 2014, most recent one posted in 2022, all of them Chromat-related, most of them being their fashion shows. We have 37 screenshots and a video from there on Wikimedia Commons, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Chromat, they illustrate a similar number of Wikipedia articles on EN and more on others. We have several hundred other images from other Creative Commons licensed Vimeo videos in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Screenshots_from_Vimeo. It used to be harder to find the CC license on the Vimeo page, as described in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Where_is_the_license_on_various_sites%3F#Vimeo but now Vimeo have made the license much more easily visible and it can just be seen without jumping through hoops. I do not know why Chromat chose to mark their videos on Vimeo Creative Commons Share Alike and not the ones on YouTube, but it is not a licensing requirement that they mark all their content in all their sites all at once. (For one thing, YouTube doesn't have a CC By-SA option, it's CC By or nothing.) I similarly don't know why they started in 2014, or stopped in 2022, or whether they will post more, or which specific employee of Chromat posted each video, or their name, age, or Social Security number. I am reasonably good at finding images for Wikimedia/Wikipedia articles, 5000 or so so, over the last 20 or so years, and I am a Commons License Reviewer reasonable good at determing copyright violations. Of course this stuff is hard, and I can't absolutely guarantee this Vimeo account wasn't started up by an evil copyright troll who has maintained it for the last dozen years under the Chromat name, every so often posting only copyright violating Chromat videos with the malicious intent of ... whatever the malicious intent might be ... but in my experience, which is not neglible, I believe this is a properly licensed video and image. --GRuban (talk) 15:41, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
Ah, I see. For whatever reason, the Vimeo link didn’t work for me earlier and I assumed the licensing might have been an issue (since I’ve not really heard anyone use Vimeo over Youtube in a while). But looking at it now, all seems clear. Juxlos (talk) 16:02, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
