 Disclaimer: Not sure this is the right place, but we were forwarded from
 Developer Support <developers at wordpress.com> to post this here.

 As per:

 https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/design-decisions
 /#whitelisting-oembed-providers

 We would like to apply to be considered from oEmbed whitelisting on
 Wikipedia.

 As per the different criteria you list there:

 - be well-established, popular, and mainstream services

 We have been around since 2012 and won a variety of awards for being the
 best API for video recording and playback.

 - properly and fully implement the oEmbed specification,

 We do and are being recognized as oEmbed provider by Tumblr, Embedly,
 Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

 - Is the service is popular enough for core developers to have heard of it
 before? Is it “mainstream?”

 We have participated as sponsors in all major hackathons (including TC
 Disrupt) and have established our own yearly hackathon videohackday.com
 for the past four years now; we are the go to place for engineers and
 companies alike for all video recording and playback needs.

 - Does this service have a large following on Twitter, Facebook, or other
 social media?  Is its Twitter account verified?

 We have around 4.5k followers on Twitter, much more than most other SaaS
 companies. The account is not verified because Twitter vertification has
 been stopped.

 - Is its oEmbed endpoint clearly established and properly documented?
 (Sometimes, they are just a developer’s pet project that may not be
 supported.)

 Yes. See https://ziggeo.com/docs

 - Does the oEmbed endpoint work with WordPress’ oEmbed auto-discovery? If
 not, could it be made to work with additional HTML tags or attributes
 being whitelisted?

 It should work with auto-discovery.

 - Does the service make an effort to build relationships with developers,
 such as through robust APIs?

 Our main business is an API.

 - How old is the service?

 6 years

 - Does it have a well-established Wikipedia article? (Seriously.)

 Yes.

 - Has anyone written a WordPress plugin that leverages the service in some
 way, whether adding it as an oEmbed provider, creating a shortcode, or
 leveraging other APIs of the service? Do these plugins have any noticeable
 adoption or traction that would indicate usage and demand?

 Yes. Ziggeo has an official plugin on WP.


 Thank you for your consideration.
