Wrongly attributed quote about his break[edit]

The section about his break starting on 1 January 2024 falsely attributes the quote "It’s probably not goodbye forever, but this channel will stop. At least, for a while." to the announcement on January 1st, even though the article it links to refers to an older video where he announced this.

It's not "wrong" in the sense that it is true he said that and it's in reference to the same thing, but it reads as if the quote is from the video on January 1st. I don't know what the policy is about referencing youtube videos directly (possibly archiving first), but there are other fitting quotes which would also elaborate on his motivation (spending time with loved ones etc.) Jade.128 (talk) 17:23, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 18 May 2024[edit]

Under career, youtube career, third paragraph replace the first sentance "On 1 January 2024, Scott announced that he was taking a break from his YouTube work after a decade of consistent weekly uploads." with "Scott announced that he was taking a break from his YouTube work starting 1 January 2024, after a decade of consistent weekly uploads." The current phrasing implies the announcement of the break was on the date, instead of 1 january 2024 being the date when the break started. Brafricaon (talk) 19:03, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Birth Date[edit]

I am aware that there has already been an RFC a few years back about this. We cannot put the exact date. However, his public Companies’ House disclosure puts his birth date as November 1984 [1] A Tree In A Box (talk) 03:06, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@A Tree In A Box Companies House is public by law, not by choice. It cannot be used here. Strugglehouse (talk) 23:05, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that seems to be the policy. A Tree In A Box (talk) 13:44, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
