•  Comment "No maximum edit rate"?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 06:24, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
• How would this filter out videos which include non-NASA only content? I can see the Space Telescope Science Institute (projects for NASA but not directly operated by NASA) and the International Space Station (a joint projects 5 international agencies, including NASA), working out what license applies to these joint content videos would be problematic. --Fæ (talk) 08:32, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

@Fæ: just delete the Non-NASA only videos. I eat bananas 101 (talk) 03:06, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

It is considered the uploader's responsibility to verify that content is freely licensed. Admins should only have to delete bot uploads as a rare exception. This YouTube channel only has about 20 videos per month, so it may be a more efficient use of time to run video2commons manually for the ones which meet our requirements.

@Guanaco: but the Youtube channel has so many Uploads and there are also many more youtube channels affiliated with nasa, [1] [2] [3] [4] and so much more! — Preceding unsigned comment added by I eat bananas 101 (talk • contribs) 2018-09-14T23:11:31 (UTC)

• What is the maximum number of concurrent jobs submitted to v2c? How does your code invoke v2c? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 23:46, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
• Please see also Commons:Bots/Requests/Pixabay upload bot. I  Oppose tha approval of this "bot" because it is no real bot but Video2Commons. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:48, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment I eat bananas 101 has been blocked for a year (see COM:ANU) so I think this request is now moot. --bjh21 (talk) 14:13, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
