I've revised the passage on the FMV and removed what I figured where the spoilers people were upset about. If there's any more that people consider extreme spoilers, drop me a PM or something.
We allow imperfect plugins for N64 games because "our" stance (well, the stance I've proposed and no one contested in the staff forum) is that pixel perfect is too much to ask for from contributors, considering the high system requirements for decent speed and the hassle that results from having to continuously switch back and forth, ending the amulation each time and saving/loading save states in between. (BTW. I've come to recommend Shunyuans plugin over angrylion's as far as software renderers are concerned, because the blur could always be achieved in post production from the clean software screenshots, but not vice versa)
I don't think reliability is an issue here, cause as far as I can discern, the links are not used to verify statements with claims made by youtubers/wikians, but simply to provide further reading/viewing/listening about some aspects. I don't love frequent Youtube and Wiki linking, but I'm also not particularly against it, as long as it's done for proper purposes, which I think is the case here.
Who took those screenshots? They look awfully emulated, glitchy and not representative of the game. There's a pixel accurate plugin available that gives you original N64 graphics, the photographer should have used that one.

Ok so did we ever actually reach a consensus regarding using youtube links? 'cause last I remembered they were considered unreliable but somehow this article is riddled with them as well as links to fan wiki pages.
