message: Since my revision was reverted, I thought I would explain my changes.
First paragraph; header removed as per style guide. First instance of name in bold as per style guide. users can sign up and upload, watch, rate, review and share videos. - It's a video sharing site then. The 'features' section was just a little sloppy so I edited that without losing any information, and it wasn't large enough to warrant a subsection.
External links formatted as per style guide. 'Similar websites' moved to See also, as per style guide. Marasmusine 23:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Untitled12.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: Dailymotion shows up up the top of the following google searches: share your sex videos and share your masturbation videos. Yes their terms of service prohibit such content. I've updated the main article to reflect this, but I'm mentioning it here since my past edits have been removed. I've put them back on yet again. But here are links to the images in case another deletion takes place:

Sincerely, cbean
p.s. On the issue of 'no porn,' as far as I can tell they've always banned it, in spite of their apparently deceptive placement at google - as per what I've documented as per my screen captures.
Just a quick note, Porn is alive and well on dailymotion, the sexy channel is full of it. Note: if you can't get the sexy channel just when you click on channels it means you are being blocked, for whatever reason. But dailymotion probably has the best range of porn/sexy/nude videos around, better than the dedicated youporn's because they have more users and videos.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.96.65.142 (talk) 02:29, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The URLs in the table redirect depending on location of ISP used. I added a cleanup tag and a bold notice so that users are not surprised when it happens.
For what it's worth here is my limited Original research to show what redirects from where. I could not find any comment on this behaviour from a quick google. I noticed that www.dailymotion.pl (not mentioned in the article) does not suffer redirects, at least not from Italian, United Kingdom and United States ISPs.
Please note that these URL addresses may redirect to other domains depending on your location. (see cleanup tag at top of Dailymotion article for more details)

replies: text: No I don't work for Dailymotion, and this is a classic failure to assume good faith. The reason why this edit was reverted is that it uses a blog source. Also, separate criticism/controversy sections are not good Wikipedia writing style. The sourcing on the fine is not ideal, and according to this source Dailymotion was fined €1.3 million after a court ruling by the Paris Court of Appeal confirmed copyright infringement..

thread_title:  2016 hack 

message: It appears that around the time of the rebranding, May 10th or 11th, mobile viewers were restricted to watching at up to 720p. Options for video resolutions above 720p are no longer available to mobile viewers. Previously, 1080p and 1440p and even 2160p were available to them. Perhaps Dailymotion thought anything beyond 720p makes little difference on screens of that size.
I first thought this is a temporary issue, but it has remained that way after several days. This limitation has not yet been documented in credible sources, but as soon as it is, I will add it to the article. Elominius (talk) 20:34, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  720p limit for mobile users 

message: It appears that Dailymotion scales vertical videos down so their height matches that of horizontal videos, instead of swapping the width and the height like YouTube does.  Dailymotion's "2160p" for vertical videos is not actually 2160×3840 but it is downscaled to 1216×2160, which is not much above the pixel count of 1080p. Vertical "1440p" is not 1440×2560 as one would expect, but 808×1440 (example: FR22238935UHD). Not that one should film vertically anyway, since it ruins the watching experience on anything besides smartphones. This could be the reason no one has noticed it so far: people (including myself) don't like to watch vertical videos to begin with. Elominius (talk) 22:47, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
