Guidelines for Adding Media to this Wiki

When adding videos, diagrams, photos, or other media to this wiki, here are some guidelines to consider:

Licensing - of course first and foremost, make sure that we're not violating somebody's copyright, or that we're on the correct side of Fair Use considerations.

Authority - as a general rule-of-thumb, a slightly grainy video from an authoritative source should probably be preferred over a high-quality video from a non-authoritative source. As an example, the Kukkiwon poomsae videos are low-resolution, but the taekwondo techniques shown are by-definition correct. Authority trumps video-quality.

Clarity - if you can't find an authoritative source, then the next-best consideration is finding media with good clarity: high-resolution videos or photos where the technique is explained well.

One is better than Many - Of course there are a thousands upon thousands of taekwondo photos and videos on the Internet. We don't want to clutter up each wiki page with a bunch of redundant photos and videos though. Try to find just one or two good ones, and just use those. The guidelines above describe what "good ones" means.
