Issue #5
- admin
- The video isn't a cover in Ted Talks. It's just the special design of the site. The video's a main element of the page, so it can't be a cover in IV by definition (also the video as a cover looks pretty ugly). Anyway, the rule said "advisable" and "optional". Please, read "we will only accept issues based" part of the checklist and stop duplicate the same "issue" again and again.
- Declined by admin
- The checklist also says this:
While it is possible to use gifs and videos as cover, in most cases, it's better to leave these elements in the body of the article.
So in the case of this video, it can be optional to be used as cover or left in body.
The way the video is shown in this IV seems reasonable.
- Type of issue
- IV page is missing essential content

It is advisable to use a cover image when possible:
1- When the image appears as a cover on the source website.
2- There's a suitable image above the title/subtitle or directly below the title/subtitle.
In all other cases, cover images are optional.
------
So as number 1 says: because the video is the cover in the main website you must cover it in iv and in other cases (if it's not cover in site) then it's optional. so it's a definite issue. the image is not cover in ted.com, it's a video.
