Going over bullet points in WP:NOTHOWTO, and checking my latest edit, which added two sentences and one image: https://www.duhoctrungquoc.vn/wiki/index.php?lang=en&q=YouTube&oldid=763252314

Uploading / Interlacing

  • Instruction manuals - my edit is not an instruction manual
  • Travel guides - nope
  • Video game guides - nope
  • Internet guides - nope
  • FAQs - "format the information provided as neutral prose" - that is what I did
  • Textbooks and annotated texts - "It is not appropriate to create or edit articles that read as textbooks, with leading questions and systematic problem solutions as examples." - no leading questions, just some stats related to the topic discussed.
  • Scientific journals and research papers - "A Wikipedia article should not be presented on the assumption that the reader is well-versed in the topic's field.' - everyone who owns a modern TV knows what 720p and 1080i is. But for those who are not well versed in this, the second sentence clarifies: it seems that networks upload their TV shows, which is an interesting talking point in itself. This small statistics shows that networks start treating YouTube as another distribution channel. But this is OR, so I am not mentioning this. One who can add 2 + 2 can figure this out himself.
  • Academic language - none used.
  • Case studies - it is not a study of one case out of a zillion, it is a piece of info about a particular YouTube feature.

Therefore, please keep my edit. Mikus (talk) 04:50, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

    There is no way that the image is necessary to illustrate the article YouTube, because this is covered adequately at Deinterlacing and Interlaced_video#Interlacing_problems. There is also an attempt to single out YouTube when virtually all web video is progressive and interlaced video is becoming rare. Even the image taken from this YouTube blog says that only about 2-3% of videos uploaded to YouTube are interlaced. As I've said before, if this was as notable as you claim, it would be possible to find more sourcing than a passing mention in a tech blog or a YouTube support page. It still has problems with WP:DUE and WP:NOTHOWTO. I really can't see the persistent fascination with adding this.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 06:16, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
      You are blaming me for singling out YouTube? I am providing their own statistics, nothing more. What "more sourcing" are you talking about? I am providing the stats from the horse's mouth. What problems with WP:NOTHOWTO does it have? I itemized all the bullet points, but you are reverting my changes without due explanation. You are saying "There is no way that the image is necessary to illustrate the article YouTube, because this is covered adequately at Deinterlacing and Interlaced_video#Interlacing_problems" - HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE IMAGE? It is a bar chart, not a screenshot. It does not cover deinterlacing, it illustrates YouTube upload stats, which, as I mentioned, besides pure technical information provides additional data about big networks publishing their made-for-TV content on YouTube, this is notable if you ask me. It is I who cannot see your persistent fascination with removing references to interlace. You are not trying to collaborate the way Wikipedia editors are supposed to do. As a seasoned editor you should know that you are supposed to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. This is not the first time you behave this way. Wikipedia policy on on edit warring states that edit warring is disruptive, and that one should not edit war even if one believes one is right. Ok, I can drop the image, keep two sentences I've added. They may be not important for you, but important and notable for others. Mikus (talk) 06:52, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
        The image is fair use and conveys no information that cannot be given in text or a link. It is not the job of the article to instruct people on how to upload videos to YouTube.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:09, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
          Neither the bar chart nor the two added sentences added by me instruct people how to upload videos. The chart shows dynamics, which is hard to convey in words. This is the point of a chart, isn't it? Anyway, I am glad you agreed with my recent edit. Mikus (talk) 17:24, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Who owns Youtube, shitty answer

Google isn't a person. When I ask, "who owns youtube" the answer isn't Google. Sure, I can google it, HA, but why isn't the answer here? Here's a hint; the answer isn't Google because I asked WHO owns Youtube, not WHAT. The answer is Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Adresses of President Obama

Hey, just wanted to note, that it might be more accurate to say "former President Obama". Or "then President Obama". You know its just because theres a new one.


X-Pachner (talk) 23:53, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

    The sentence is talking about addresses that he made during his time in office, not addresses he had made since leaving office. So they are addresses by President Obama not former President Obama. Then isn't needed either because like you said there is a new president now and so this must be talking about when Obama was president. ~ GB fan 00:31, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

2017 April Fool

Re this edit: The "Google Gnome" joke was on the Google Store, and although it had a YouTube video, it was seen by news media as Google's 2017 April Fool rather than YouTube's.[1] Maybe that's a bit pedantic, but YouTube doesn't seem to have had its own April Fool this year.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 05:56, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

    Hi @Ianmacm: I agree with you and don't think this YouTube page is the appropriate article for that April Fool's Day joke. LocalNet (talk) 06:11, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
      I was a bit 50/50 about saying that the Google Gnome was YouTube's 2017 April Fool, but it did have a YouTube video. Since Google owns YouTube I haven't removed it. Other comments are welcome.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 06:14, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
        In my mind, the joke is still fully a Google joke. It was uploaded to YouTube because that's what they have as a video service (I wouldn't expect them to upload to Vimeo, for example), but I don't remember seeing any references to YouTube in the video and I haven't seen it interpreted that way by the media. But I don't have a *problem* with it staying either, just think it's out of place. :) LocalNet (talk) 06:20, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Consensus on YouTube Play Button Merge

This tag has been hanging around on YouTube Play Button for a long time: {{Merge to|YouTube|date=July 2016}} We should see if a merge is needed, and if a merge is still relevant. Please leave your thoughts. Jamesjpk (talk) 23:14, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete would probably be the best option. It isn't all that notable and the article here could live without it. It has clear issues with WP:DUE.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 06:00, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
  • I'm also in favor of deleting the article as it doesn't appear notable enough for either its own article or a section on this one. Hammill Ten (talk) 22:03, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
  • I think it could be good since it might be only a few lines longer than a stub. Merging it would make it a category, not a stub. I'm in favor of a merger. Deleting it is unnecessary. StellaRover27 (talk) 17:40, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Demonetization

There should be more about the demonetization happening. Benjamin (talk) 20:59, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

    During 2017 YouTube has become worried about allowing adverts to appear next to any video that might be controversial. It has seen a string of big American and European advertisers pull their adverts after they were unhappy.[2] This is mentioned in the article, and could be expanded with material from reliable sources.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 05:19, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Ownership vs. Corporate Parent

Ownership is by Google. Check out https://www.google.com/search?q=who+owns+youtube and http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/parentcompany.asp. Isn't Owner = Parent? I recommend deleting the Ownership attribute from the infobox since "Parent" implies ownership. Alphabet owns Google and Google owns YouTube. asherkobin (talk) 00:15, 25 Jun 2017 (UTC)

    Life was a lot simpler in the days before Alphabet Inc.. This has created a tiered structure of ownership, with Alphabet owning Google and Google owning YouTube. The infobox does not allow for this type of situation, so it may be best to remove it from the infobox.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 04:57, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Moved from YouTube#User features

When a user uploads a video, they may choose the video privacy settings. If a video is "public", everyone is able to see it and share it. If it's "unlisted", viewers need the video URL to be able to see it. If the video is "private", the uploader can choose which users may see the video. Users can add up to five "cards" to videos. They are popups advertising another video, channel or a website, or a poll. Users can add links to other videos and channels from "end screens" at the last 20 seconds of their videos. Users can add "enhancements" to their videos, including light and color fixes, stabilizing shaking camera motions, slow motion, time lapse, blurring, rotating and trimming parts of the videos. Users can choose to add a watermark across all of their videos. They can also feature a video or playlist across all videos in a "What to Watch Next" module in the bottom left corner.

Users are able to create lists of videos, called "playlists". When a viewer finishes watching a video in a playlist, the next video plays automatically. They have the same privacy options as videos, public, unlisted, and private. Users can reorder the videos in a playlist, add or remove videos, and give the playlist a title and description. If a playlist is marked as an "official series", suggested videos will include more videos from the playlist. Users can choose to automatically add videos to a playlist using tags and matching words contained in the title and description. Users can click a clock icon while hovering over a thumbnail to add a video to a "Watch Later" playlist.

Users can send and receive private messages.

Many features have been removed from YouTube due to lack of usage or not working on mobile devices. Prior to 2013, users could reply to videos with their own videos. Before May 2, users could add unlimited "annotations" to videos, in the shape of speech bubbles and several others, linking to other videos at specific timestamps etc. On September 20, YouTube will remove a free video editor which allows users to edit several videos into a video of length up to one hour.

Community

On September 13, 2016, YouTube launched a public beta of Community, a social media-based feature that allows users to post text, images (including GIFs), live videos and others in a separate "Community" tab on their channel. Prior to the release, several creators had been consulted to suggest tools Community could incorporate that they would find useful; these YouTubers included Vlogbrothers, AsapScience, Lilly Singh, The Game Theorists, Karmin, The Key of Awesome, The Kloons, Peter Hollens, Rosianna Halse Rojas, Sam Tsui, Threadbanger and Vsauce3.

Changes to the YouTube Partner Program

YouTube's January 2018 changes to the YPP have been seen as a response to the Logan Paul controversy, although with 15.9 million subscribers he would not be affected by them. YouTube said in its blog that the changes would not affect a large number of users, saying "99% of those affected were making less than $100 per year in the last year, with 90% earning less than $2.50 in the last month." Nevertheless, the YouTube community was not pleased, with some users saying that the smaller channels were being penalized for the Logan Paul video.[5] Some commentators agreed with the changes [6][7] but the main story is that YouTube is now worried about any monetized video causing a controversy. The rules for Google Preferred have also been changed in January 2018, so that all eligible videos will be manually checked before advertising is allowed in them.[8]--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:17, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

It appears that YouTube supports less ways of viewing 3D videos now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheKing44 (talkcontribs) 23:09, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

YouTube Gaming

Besides the obvious answer (because I haven't added it yet), why isn't there a subsection called 'YouTube Gaming'?Captain camEO (talk) 11:40, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Reverted the removal of table of Youtube encodings

Whoever User:Wumbolo is, they removed a very useful item in the article. I fixed their removal of the table from the article. Ergzay (talk) 23:12, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Censorship of Youtube... by Youtube

Why don't you discuss this? Since Google took the company over, it has rapidly gone downhill. So called "fake news" scares have led to wide demonetisation and even removal of videos by the company itself, which is also pushing content by more "approved" outlets such as the BBC and CNN. It seems to me that it is ending up the polar opposite of what most people want from it.--SpringsteenSessions (talk) 15:03, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 3 April 2018

the shooting section needs to be updated with that 4 or 5 people were taken to a hospital via ambulance and the shooter was a female https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/03/us/youtube-hq-shooting/index.html 71.169.158.86 (talk) 21:43, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Active Shooter

There seems to be an active shooter situation going on at the YouTube HQ in San Bruno, CA Should this be covered in YouTube or in a separate article? lovkal (talk) 20:35, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

YouTube's audio music track muted is vanished

What happened to audio music track muted on YouTube? It's vanished or what?2604:2000:A016:3F00:1188:16D8:8998:2C54 (talk) 02:39, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Split proposed

Since we have run into discussions about the size of this article, I propose splitting out the Features section of the article, as it contains around a third of the article's prose. It can definitely survive on its own, and be properly summarized. Note that we already have other sections split out and summarized. wumbolo ^^^ 14:39, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Porn on YouTube

Re this edit: it is the latest piece of Think of the children from The Sun (United Kingdom) which isn't a reliable source. YouTube is well aware that some people try to get around the rules by uploading sexually explicit content, see this thread in the archive. YouTube is not filled with porn unless you are a bored journalist on a wet afternoon.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:41, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

YouTube holds the copyright for the website, but the screenshot that we include in this article contains thumbnails of several copyrighted videos whose copyright owner isn't YouTube. I believe that this is currently a copyright violation, since the non-free rationale on the image page only covers for the website in general, and obviously not for the thumbnails of individual videos on the site. wumbolo ^^^ 11:35, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Merge proposal

I propose that Google Preferred is merged into this article. It is very short. wumbolo ^^^ 21:18, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

What is the nature of youtu.be?

Someone who knows, please mention in the article the nature of the address youtu.be. Does this address lead to youtube or what? Because it looks like one of those addresses that are similar to a popular address, designed to mislead the user to a sham site. Why does this site exist? Thanks.CountMacula (talk) 20:43, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Don't assume that people reading this article know what you know.

The article refers to YouTube channels as though everyone knows what a YouTube channel is.

They don't. It is obviously related to the idea of a broadcast or cable television channel — which pretty much any reader understands. But a YouTube channel is not the same thing as a TV channel. So they need to be explained before they ought to be referred to.

The same comment applies to many different things. Some readers may not even have access to YouTube, so everything they know about YouTube may come from this article.2600:1700:E1C0:F340:9DFF:8453:754E:B40D (talk) 19:46, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Change "YouTube began as a venture capital-funded technology startup, primarily from an $11.5 million investment by Sequoia Capital between November 2005 and April 2006." to "YouTube began as a venture capital-funded technology startup, primarily from an $11.5 million investment by Sequoia Capital and Artis Capital Management between November 2005 and April 2006."

Already slightly covered, and this has no reason to be a standalone article (too specific topic). wumbolo ^^^ 21:13, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

This can definitely be merged - this is nowhere near complex enough to have it's own article. --ThatOneGuy000 (talk) 19:37, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Promotion of conspiracy theories and fringe discourse

I propose that this section is moved to Social impact of YouTube, because its content is not even mentioned at the other article, which is a complete violation of WP:Summary style. Also, this article is too long to contain every POV related to this topic. If this topic fits in the social impact article well, we may consider writing a summary in this article, consisting of some authoritative consensus instead of an indiscriminate collection of POVs. wumbolo ^^^ 14:37, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Fringe study?

Should this study cited by CJR be cited in the article? To me it looks very conspiratorial, useless, and amateurish. wumbolo ^^^ 15:41, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
