@Lay Vegan Looks like a great start (as I think you noticed, I shortened the page name)

You can upload small video clips as long as they're short so there aren't copyright issues. I updated your permissions on the Wiki so you can upload files.
Just make sure they're small files too (which means inevitably low resolution), so they don't max out the file size. Here's a good example:
wiki/index.php/File:SR2.webm

No, superior relative to say "made in the USA" goods, when you have a choice between sweatshop and something made in a developed country.

I'm not sure if I've read that one or not, but I think the economic case is very strong.

We should also start an article on sweat shops if there isn't one. That's a very common topic in anti-vegan arguments. Can you start one on that too, or would you be over-extended?

@brimstoneSalad 2 MB is awfully small for a video file, even with low resolution. We're talking a 15-25 second video clip. I managed to squeeze 50 seconds worth of audio into a file, but there's no video or thumbnail to accompany it. Could we slightly increase the max file size?

Sure, I'll draft an outline soon. Give me a day or 2.

I think the max is 4mb.

It's important to really shrink the video resolution. A small reduction in resolution makes a big difference. I don't think I have any programs on hand to do that, so I never upload video.
