so...umm... yeah

http://dollhouse.wikibruce.com

Go nuts.
Unfortunately I just won't have time to put a lot of time into this wiki (I'm already running behind at work, and I'm heavily involved with the Hellboy wiki and fairly tracking the Lost Ring wiki (auz is doing a bang up job though!)). So hopefully there are some other wikimasters out there who will really help populate and keep it up to date.
It's following a similar layout to TLR wiki, so it should be familiar. I'll an RSS feed of the timeline available momentarily, but right now this arg is still relatively in its infancy, so no rush Smile

How Sheridan Owen can get his video posted to YouTube

This sequence assumes that our Sheridan Owen is the same as the one on YouTube with the wrestling video (which is a really crappy match, btw).

1) Mr. Owen needs to post another wrestling video, which he has created himself, to his profile. It should be at least twice as long as the clip he intends to post. About ten minutes would be the minimum I would suggest.

2) Wait for a few days. I would suggest between three days and one week.

3) Replace the original wrestling video with an altered version. Somewhere in the middle, I would suggest between 3 and 5 minutes in, cut away from wrestling to Mr. Owen's message. After his message is complete, cut back to the wrestling video in the place it would be had it continued playing unabated.

I see one huge problems this plan. The new video will show a different post date than the original. We can hope that whoever has been having them removed doesn't notice. Alternatively, (my Youtube-fu is weak and I don't know if this is possible) simply alter the original video file on YouTube. Any other thoughts?

I would like to send it to Sheridan, but he hasn't responded to my e-mail to him yet. I think that one person who has already had contact with Mr. Owen send him my suggestion.

Sorry, I just want to clarify something here.

There's a couple issues that don't seem to be clear with the owensheridan youtube account.

1. Although the country is correct, there is a 3-year age difference between the blogger profile we know to be from the right person, and the youtube account that is not confirmed to be related. Kindof strange since the profiles should have been created at pretty much the same time.

2. The youtube account was created 4 days BEFORE the first letter was received. Doesn't seem like a likely time for a new user. If they had registered in response to the letter, it would have been four days later at least. But if they had already had an account, odds are it wasn't four days old at the time.

3. Even IF the youtube account belongs to the same person, you can't use the method described for the simple reason that it was not, in fact, uploaded by the same account. It's a playlist, consisting of one video that was uploaded by a completely different, unrelated, user. Sorry.

EDIT: Just wanted to confirm, in case anyone had any doubts: the photo on findkimi.com is from the dollhouse. Take a look at this photo for the Dollhouse set:



Pay close attention to what's behind the screen in the middle.

Now look at the photo from the blog:



No doubt should remain. Unfortunately, this was confirmed with non-IG material and can't really be passed along to Sheridan.

I noted in my suggestion that it would only work if the youtube account is held by our sheridan owen. I also noted that the initial video should be a wrestling video he created so that when he posts the final video it is from the same person. The idea behind it should work anyway. Our Sheridan Owen can post a video of anything he wants and then later embed in it the information he wants to pass on. I only used wrestling as the base video because of the previousy linked account.

The big problem I see is that the "posted on" date will change when he posts the final video. Is there any way around that?

Actually, it's kindof weird. We don't have enough information, and I'm not sure it's possible for us to do so.

If the removal of the video is IG, then odds are there's going to be a lot of things they're not going to do, seeing as how they need to carefully maintain a facade in which some shadowy corporation has control over Youtube videos.

On the other hand, if Youtube actually is removing this guy's videos, the best thing to do is simply host them somewhere else.
