I just saw the new voice clip you added to the article. From what I understand, its purpose for the article seems to be something close to the Wikipedia Voice Intro Project, but is there a reason you selected a recording of a Discord voice conversation as the audio file? Curious to learn more; the edit summary didn't give me many hints. Cheers, u|RayDeeUx (contribs | talk page)04:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
RayDeeUx Yeah, it's kinda like that project. Ideally we would have a recording that is in line with the other audio introductions, but since he passed away we can't produce a freely-licensed clip ourselves. A freely-licensed clip of him speaking may aid the reader like an image would. Since I recorded some games with him, that's what I have and what I can give away. I don't think we can get an audio clip of him speaking with a fair use argument; there are already two images with them and I've never seen fair use audio files not used for song samples. I could be wrong, and there could be better freely-licensed audio clips out there.
I was originally going to suggest clipping any given YouTube video of his, but given the whole ambiguity around fair use policies on Wikipedia, what's there right now is the next best thing. I'm also in favor of replacing it with a shorter clip *only* if a fair use rationale can be made anytime in the future—similar to a past approach with waiting for a reliable source rationale before including The Daily Iowan as a citation in the article.
