~riley, each para needs its own, so there are two that still need one. I know, it seems silly when it's the same as the para above and the para below, but that's the DYK rules. --valereee (talk) 19:19, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Cited, did not know that, thanks for clarifying! ~riley (talk) 20:35, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Both hooks are cited and interesting, but both for the hook and in the article I want some explanation or wikilink of what we mean by 'commercial footage.' I'm guessing it means 'footage captured by something other than a camera purpose-built by NASA' or 'footage captured by a commercially-available product' or something? --valereee (talk) 14:12, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are some pretty cool photos in the Sony source that are attributed to JAXA, I wonder if we could access those? Does this have a corresponding article on Japanese wikipedia? --valereee (talk) 14:28, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bummer! Fair use photos can't go on DYK, and it's quite possible that fair use wouldn't include those images, which probably aren't necessary for understanding the article subject. Too bad, though, it would have been pretty cool. --valereee (talk) 18:09, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just wanted to follow-up on the image you located, I have seen this prior but was hesitant to upload as Sony does not list a specific CC-BY license and also has © JAXA on the page. I'll try to find out more about if we can accept its copyright as it is a great image. ~riley (talk) 22:05, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Giving this a check for neutral, but if there are positive/negative reviews out there, the article could probably be improved. Since there aren't positive reviews without negative or vice versa, not a neutrality problem for DYK. --valereee (talk) 14:43, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will take a look but the reception of this camera is very positive. If I add that, I am worried the article will not balance out as neutral due to lack of negative reception. ~riley (talk) 16:14, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's fair to provide reception that's overall very positive if that's representative of how the camera was covered by reviewers. I wouldn't worry about adding it for DYK, though, it was just a suggestion for future expansion. --valereee (talk) 18:09, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was thinking we probably need a date in the hook for context. The Forbes article says The camera was launched from earth on December 9, 2016, and installed with Sony’s FE PZ 28-135mm F4 G OSS power zoom lens on KIBO on February 8, 2017. Does one of the sources provide a date the first 4K footage was taken? --valereee (talk) 19:45, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unfortunately no sources provide a date for when it was first captured, we do have a date in the sources for when it was first released to the public (July 27, 2017) which is far less interesting. ~riley (talk) 06:34, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
