Yes, the picture shows video effects. But there aren't any. Use the damn thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.76.124 (talk) 23:50, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Clean up
Hi, I have spent some time generally cleaning up the article to make it look nicer and more readable.

Still a large problem with coherency, I will tackle that later if no one else goes for it.
 * article is heavily uncrappified now, language/coherency needs a lot of work still. --Gnepets (talk) 23:27, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Explanation of changes
I was contacted via email, by a concerned wikipedian who believes some changes I made reduce the clarity of the article or changed a large portion of the article, such that it was not clear. So I will just add some explanations of changes I think he could of meant

 * this looked like a poorly written sentence, instead of moving from one point to another it moves from one point back to another.
 * new lines for citations so they are easier to find when editing.

 * explanation not needed.
 * 23:16, 26 December 2009 Gnepets (talk | contribs) (5,408 bytes) (uncrappify start, by using useful high-level information rather than techno-babble.) (undo)
 * this is the largest removal of information, GStreamer stuff is clearly correct in my opinion but
 * it should not be in the start area, it should be in development
 * it requires citations, although I believe it to be correct it needs to be verified by a third party source.
 * the start of the article should quickly and clearly explain what the article is about, it is not a place for heavy technical info.
 * 23:01, 26 December 2009 Gnepets (talk | contribs) (5,618 bytes) (→External links: remove duplicate portal.) (undo)

 * explanation not needed.
 * 22:58, 26 December 2009 Gnepets (talk | contribs) (5,650 bytes) (add a cite that directly backs what is said.) (undo)
 * research strengthens article.
 * 22:42, 26 December 2009 Gnepets (talk | contribs) (5,557 bytes) (→Features: translate list into sentences. it is not very good, but much nicer on the eye so far. maybe you can beautify it.) (undo)
 * Manual of style suggests sentences are preferable, espescially to long lists.
 * some items such as "Clean, modular code with extensive test suite (test-driven development)" where not easily verifiable. it really requires a 3rd party experts judgement, wit ha citation.
 * 22:22, 26 December 2009 Gnepets (talk | contribs) (5,424 bytes) (use consistent section names (with other pages), remove some rambling. restructuring.) (undo)
 * re-name funding - development as that is what the section is really about, funding is not so relevant.
 * removed parts of history that are not easily validated without citations. they really should be part of article, but no cites.
 * re-word summer of code stuff to keep it in the article.
 * 22:14, 26 December 2009 Gnepets (talk | contribs) (5,612 bytes) (→Features: represent only measurable features, others require cites to be here. still a very ugly section.) (undo)
 * remove words such as high quality and extensive as these are weasel words when not cited. usability change was re-written in later.

well this is my reasoning, please feel free to respond here if you are going to fix up what you believe to be mistakes. --Gnepets (talk) 12:03, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Assessment
Well cited with good organization and readability. I think it is a bit early in the project to establish rich content and a strong case for notability so I can't give a higher rating than C. --Kvng (talk) 04:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

OMG! Ubuntu
It appears that there are some omgubuntu.co.uk fanatics around who are systematically going through Wikipedia and adding the personal opinions of the OMG Ubuntu authors to various Linux-related articles.

OMG Ubuntu is also being cited for references, which, being a blog, isn't permitted by Wikipedia's notability guidelines. People are also just inserting entire paragraphs into articles simply based on the OMG Ubuntu author's/commenter's personal feelings.

I appreciate that some people are trying to evangelise their pet distro and pet amateur news outlet but Wikipedia isn't the place for evangelism. Please keep it objective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigbarnes85 (talk • contribs) 10:31, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * OMG Ubuntu is a news outlet that meets the requirements of WP:RS as all content is subject to editorial review. There is no justification for removing it as a source. - Ahunt (talk) 11:56, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * The "editors" and writers are the same people. That is not "editorial review" by any stretch of the imagination. The only exceptions are a few occasional guest writers, some of whom are as young as 13. Hardly notable material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigbarnes85 (talk • contribs) 13:02, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

PiTiVi → Pitivi – “PiTiVi” is now known as “Pitivi” 200.69.202.173 (talk) 14:42, 7 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Disagree - according to the project's website it is still officially called "PiTiVi". - Ahunt (talk) 15:18, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think they are really changing the name. See here https://github.com/GNOME/pitivi/commit/549e1e3b08528ab239092bf3d295bb272f0fdd24 --93willy (talk) 15:51, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ...and here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705756 --93willy (talk) 16:01, 7 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay those are helpful, but the devs really need to complete the job and update the main project website to avoid future confusion. Based on those two refs I withdraw my objections above.- Ahunt (talk) 16:12, 7 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Support it should have been at Pitivi from the beginning due to the WP:MOSTM--174.95.109.219 (talk) 21:47, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Without any objections being raised here I think we can go with the evidence presented and move the article. - Ahunt (talk) 20:58, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ - Ahunt (talk) 15:07, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Linux-only

 * There is nothing technically speaking that prevents Pitivi from being multiplatform, just the manpower required to port and maintain it outside Linux. See the Pitivi devs' numerous stances on the subject in their talks, blog posts, social media, or the fact that they did include multiplatform as a stretch goal in their 2014 fundraising campaign page.
