I've been referencing to certain parts of a video. After all, those videos are good sources. However, linking to them is like citing different parts of the same Twitter conversation, isn't it?

The problem is, referencing the start of the video means that the person will have to go find it.

Citing it and saying, "It's at part 2:03" is bad for longer videos, or if the person has bad Internet and then possibly forgets what part it's at, thus having to write the part down.

Citing the same video, but at different parts may also be bad since it's the same video. Overlinking, perhaps?

You could have one reference for two different facts, but then what about in the galleries where things can only be linked and not referenced? If citing different parts of the same video is fine, then some gallery photos can have two different links, right? So then why doesn't linking to two parts of the same video count as overlinking?

Could this situation be avoided altogether by simply stating the video's name, and not linking/referencing to it, but having the reader go look up the video themselves?

What do we do?
