PewDiePie videography

Nominator(s): Soulbust (talk) 01:32, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe this list satisfies all of the FL criteria, and it would be one of the first Internet or YouTube-related lists to be promoted to FL status, which I think is exciting. Thank you and best wishes, Soulbust (talk) 01:32, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

The year bars violate WP:ACCESS --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 01:48, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

• Speedy oppose I was thinking "Wait, how the heck is the guy the most-watched youtuber with 10ish videos a year?" and then noticed the "Selected videography" header. So how the hell were these ones "selected" but the other 4,000 videos were not? The lead doesn't mention the inclusion criteria at all so this is a massive failure of criterion 3a. Honestly this should be nominated for deletion. Just because he has the most views doesn't mean Wikipedia should catalogue his videos. Reywas92^Talk 02:22, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose Dynamic lists shouldn't be considered for FL, especially one of PewDiePie's videography. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 04:03, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose - I don't see how we can consider for FL a list which contains about 2% of the content which the article suggests. It would be like Shakespeare bibliography just listing one play and one sonnet (and no I am not comparing PewDiePie to Shakespeare :-)). There aren't even any criteria shown for why these particular videos were selected..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:25, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Resolved comments from ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:34, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

**I'd also question, given that not a single video has its own article, whether this article even needs to exist. Would we create a separate discography article for a musician who was notable in their own right but had no releases whatsoever with their own articles? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:28, 6 May 2020 (UTC) Comment Hi, @Guerillero:, I would like to ask how to present the year bars in a way that doesn't violate WP:ACCESS. Also, to respond to the concerns mentioned. The videography is selected based on if the videos in question have been covered by third-party, reliable sources. Also, @ChrisTheDude:, if you look closely through the list, there are video releases of his that have their own articles. This listing has has merits to exist. It's unprecedented for a YouTuber's videography to exist, and I've received a lot of pushback on YouTuber-related articles in the past. It'd be worth nothing that there's actually a lot of recording artists that have a majority of their tracks, music videos, etc. not have a respective article of their own. I don't think a videography has to have that requirement anyway. It's not like that's a requirement for episode listings. And that's true, even at the featured list classification. With YouTube videos, you have to take the nature of the craft into consideration. It's not so much a straight-forward parallel to discographies (there's no real "albums") or filmographies (videos often get uploaded at a much higher frequency than films can get produced at). Instead, it's much more of a blend of those -ographies with the aforementioned episode listings. I thought it'd be easier for a reader to digest it if inclusion is just limited to those videos that have been covered by reliable sources. Gauging from the response to this listing, I'm wondering if I should withdraw the nomination. Soulbust (talk) 08:32, 6 May 2020 (UTC) Apologies, I missed that a couple of videos do indeed have articles -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:51, 6 May 2020 (UTC) "It'd be worth nothing that there's actually a lot of recording artists that have a majority of their tracks, music videos, etc. not have a respective article of their own" - do they have separate discography articles? That's what I was getting at. Do you have an example of a musician with a separate discography article where pretty much all of the releases therein do not have their own article? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:11, 6 May 2020 (UTC) It's okay. And again, I don't think this is necessarily a one-to-one comparison (particularly because there's no real direct comparison for an album), but sure. Lil Peep has six singles with articles. The rest of his discography is limited to being catalogued only through the respective list. I don't think PewDiePie's videos have only sprung 2 separate articles because only 2 merit their own separate articles; it's more than likely I or another editor can sucessfully make an article on some of his other videos. But just basing this off of what exists now, similar "songs written" lists are also examples of this. Perhaps they are even more apt ones, but that's subjective I suppose. This artist has only 2 songs with separate articles. Here is another list with not too many separate articles have been made. Several artists have the vast majority, or even all of their individual songs as not having their own articles, with many album/mixtape/EP projects even not having their own aticles. Here is a featured list discography featuring only 2 individual singles as having their own articles. And having the vast majority of one's discography only included in a list isn't exclusive to just one genre. Here is a featured list discography of compilation albums. Don't mind individual songs, not a single album on this list has its own article. The few wikilinks for the albums all direct to sections of articles. I don't know, I'm sure there's more. This was just a result of me quickly sifting/browsing through categories and such. Soulbust (talk) 10:06, 6 May 2020 (UTC) Another thing to note, is again, we should take the nature of the craft into consideration (which is another point as to why a YouTuber's videography vs. a musician's discography isn't an apples-to-apples comparison). The music industry's release of singles is well-known. Songs are released as singles in order to hype an album or multiple-track project. There is no such parameter in the YouTube video medium to compare to. Soulbust (talk) 10:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

• Cool, I accept that most of the videos not having their own article isn't an issue - disregard my comments about that. But what about the fact that PewDiePie has apparently published over 4000 videos, only 80 or so of which are listed here, with nothing in the article to indicate why these ones were chosen and the rest not? TBH that's probably more of an issue...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:18, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

• I agree that is an issue, and it is one that makes me highly consider withdrawing the nom if possible. With the inclusion criteria I was working off of I thought it was more or less comprehensive (although it is still a dynamic list, so maybe not). However, I would like to ask for some suggestions with this. This discussion has leaned more deletionist, and I totally disagree with that (as the lists I showed above support that one's individual works don't need to have their own articles, yet their whole discography can still be both catalogued an promoted to even Featured-list status). I am also fairly certain I could continue to make legitimate and substantial improvements to the list. However, I would like to ask for some constructive suggestions here. Like, how to address the accessibility issue in which the gray year bars violate WP:ACCESS. Is it that the gray is too dark? Also, would you suggest mentioning my inclusion criteria (i.e. that a reliable third-party source covered the video, usually through both embedding the video in their coverage + giving descriptions of the video)? Or would you suggest that I forgo that criteria and just do a legitimate and comprehensive listing of his videos. By the way, after thinking about it and reading the comments given on this discussion, I'm definitely leaning more for the latter. It makes a lot more sense to me at this point. Soulbust (talk) 16:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• I'm assuming that if the list expands to be a more total and comprehensive listing, we probably wouldn't even need the year bars. Perhaps just different sections correlating with individual years. Soulbust (talk) 16:40, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose perReywas92 ~ HAL333 22:51, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose per Reywas92 and ChrisTheDude; and agree that it should be nominated for AFD. - Brojam (talk) 21:32, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

@ChrisTheDude: I'm surprised this is still an open nom, but I would like to just withdraw the nom if possible. I also would like to ask if you think splitting this list into PewDiePie videography (2010), PewDiePie videography (2011), etc. (similar to List of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert episodes (2015), [...], List of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert episodes (2020)) would be a good alternative to having over 4,000 videos listed on one page? I think it the size of the list would make the page rather unwieldy and harder for a reader to navigate. I'm also considering maybe having the PewDiePie videography page have Playlists listed (perhaps the thing most comparable to an album, for a YouTuber). That way it can be condensed, and still reliably sourced. This can be done whether or not the list is split by years. Soulbust (talk) 23:10, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

List of North Carolina militia units in the American Revolution

Nominator(s): User:G._Moore Talk to G Moore 01:17, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

User:G._Moore is nominating this for a featured list because it is a comprehensive look at North Carolina militia units during the American Revolution. It contains an introduction and sortable list of the units and their first commander. It will be of interest to readers of the history of the American Revolution and early North Carolina history. G._Moore (talk · contribs) Talk to G Moore 01:17, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Resolved comments from ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:09, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

*Oppose - note 6: "References are contained in the individual brigade or regiment pages, as well as biography pages, where they have been created". Unfortunately it doesn't work like that, the references need to be in this article. There's quite a few issues with style, links, etc, which I will set out later, but the lack of refs is the big one. The article will never pass WP:FLC with a note that essentially says "you need to look in other articles to find the sources"...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:47, 15 December 2019 (UTC) Additional comments "The following is a comprehensive list of known North Carolina militia units in the American Revolution that fought against the British" - FLs do not start with "this is a list", so find a way to create a better opening "The size of brigades [....] were commanded" - grammar issue here "In 1775, the Rowan County regiment was split on October 22, 1775" - don't need both "in 1775" and the exact date Have fixed this User:G._Moore 13:15, 16 December 2019 (UTC) There seems to be no coherent order to the table - it isn't alphabetical, it isn't by date of formation. What is it based on? The current order is the subordination of the unit. User:G._Moore 13:20, 16 December 2019 (UTC) "Col Thomas Witmell, Thomas" - huh? There's a few like this..... (have fixed these 13:03, 16 December 2019 (UTC) User:G._Moore As mentioned above, the lack of references in the article is a 100% deal breaker. And to add to that, at least some of the content isn't even referenced in the relevant article, as the note claims. At random I clicked on the link for Cumberland County Regiment and the article it took me to doesn't contain a reference to support the fact that Rutherford was its commander...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:33, 16 December 2019 (UTC) References and sort order The units, dates, and commanders all come from the references listed in the bibliography, e.g. Conner, Crow, Lewis, etc.. There are more detailed references in the linked articles when they exist. I was struggling with the right way to reference a long list. Does every entry in the list have to have its own reference? I used a combination of all the references in the bibliography to develop the list. The table can be sorted by each of the columns. I was not sure what the initial order needed to be if the table can be sorted--some units changed Brigade during the war. The units are currently in the order of the units they were subordinated to. User:G._Moore User talk:G._Moore 13:13, 16 December 2019 (UTC) (ec) "Does every entry in the list have to have its own reference?" - yes, it does. It should be completely clear what the source of each specific piece of information in the article is. So if the name, dates and commander of a specific unit are all sourced to one particular book, then that needs to be indicated on that row of the table. There is now a reference column that contains the 147 references for the information in the table. I am currently check all the links to make sure they work. User:G._Moore talk 13:48, 18 December 2019 (UTC) While it is true that the table can be sorted on any of the columns, it should be presented in a logical fashion when readers first arrive on the article, not just at random. In this example I would personally suggest that the date of formation is the most logical order for initial sorting. I don't understand what you mean when you say "The units are currently in the order of the units they were subordinated to", because the values in the subordination column are not grouped together - "North Carolina Militia", for example, is dotted all over the table........... It is the North Carolina Militia Command, which has Brigades under it and Regiments under Brigades, with a few Independent units. They are grouped by the Brigade and alphabetical within Brigade. Would it help if the Brigades are shaded in a common color? User:G._Moore talk 13:48, 18 December 2019 (UTC) OK, that makes sense. No, I would avoid colour. Coloured stripes just make a table look garish and also cause accessibility issues -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:50, 18 December 2019 (UTC) HTH -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:22, 16 December 2019 (UTC) Thanks for your advice. I am new to Wikipedia lingo. what does HTH mean? User:G._Moore talk 13:48, 18 December 2019 (UTC) Hope that helps :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:33, 18 December 2019 (UTC) BTW you don't need to put a name (Lewis, NCPedia, etc) for each ref to go against. Just do it like the first row (which I have just edited) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:50, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

• BTW what makes Lewis (carolana.com) a reliable source? It just seems to be some random guy's personal website...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:53, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
  • He has a book that documents his research and has put all of the information in the database that is online. I have compared his results to all of the other sources and have found it most accurate. He actually used some 50,000 sources to compile the information. I added an intro to the bibliography about the work that has been done. Whenever I see a discrepancy, I send him a note and he corrects it based on the original sources. William S. Powell, a state historian in North Carolina, has produced an encyclopedia of NC history, much of what is now online in a cite called NCPEDIA. Together, these have been my guides to NC Revolutionary History. I found that having this in WikiPedia was really nice because it links to the other info in Wikipedia on NC and the Revolution. Let me know if there is anything else that I should do to the list. User:G._Moore User talk:G._Moore
    • I don't think that note above the bibliography is needed, and referring to the "heroic efforts" of historians definitely doesn't conform to WP:NPOV..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:39, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
      • I took out the non-NPOV wording. I think the intro for the bibliography does add to the historical perspective on how we know about these units. It was not just a matter of copying from muster rolls and Tables of Organization. I asked J.D. Lewis to review the page. I put his comments on the Talk page. Is there anything more to do on this FL nomination? User:G._Moore talk 18:21, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
• Per WP:SPS "Anyone can create a personal web page, self-publish a book, or claim to be an expert. That is why self-published material such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, content farms, internet forum postings, and social media postings are largely not acceptable as sources. Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." Has Mr Lewis been published on the subject (by independent outlets - his books listed in the bibliography are self-published)? Has he been cited in others' publications? Trying to establish if he is regarded as an established expert on this subject rather than simply an avid amateur....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:04, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

It is considered by the researchers of the North and South Carolina Revolutionary War history a Reputable Source. Carteret County during the American Revolution 1765-1785,
  • I am still trying to find a more direct link to the book, Carteret County during the American Revolution 1765-1785, by Jean Bruyere Kell

This has been quite the learning experience. I will take a look at it again tomorrow and see if everything is fixed. Thanks everyone for your help and kind advice. G._Moore (talk · contribs) 05:53, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Took a final look at everything this morning and added: a few links, description of places were the units fought with existing ref; image of MG Smallwood (2nd NC Militia commander, sorry no images of John Ashe, Sr. the 1st cc, he died in 1781); summary of table. Can't think of anything more to add or fix. G._Moore (talk · contribs) 16:03, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

If there are no more unresolved issues, what is the process for making this a Featured List? G._Moore (talk · contribs) 03:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

• Shouldn't all of the books in the Bibliography have a publisher? Besides that, everything looks good --In actu (Guerillero) ^{Parlez Moi} 16:23, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

I added publishers for all the Bibliographi references and inline citations that were books. G._Moore 19:33, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

A few minor things:

• An article description could perhaps be added. Done. G. Moore 23:04, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

• Consider linking to Major general.

Done. G. Moore 22:43, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

• I am not familiar with US history: " .... the head of the Council of Safety which oversaw resistance to British rule." implies there was more than one Council of Safety or should there be a comma after Council of Safety?

There was a Council/Committee of Safety at the Provincial level. and each county in North Carolina had a Committees of Safety. See Committees of safety (American Revolution) and Rowan County Committee of Safety

• "....arranging representation in the executive body." so by "the executive body" you mean the council? If so maybe change to "... in the council".

Done. G. Moore 22:43, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

• I don't understand "organised" in "The North Carolina Provincial Congress authorized 35 existing county militias to be organized on September 9, 1775.". Perhaps "called-up"?

The wording comes from the Provincial Congress minutes. The militia were only county entities until the Congress acted to organize them in the interim government. Again, I think this is what is stated in the minutes of the Congress. G. Moore 22:43, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

• I did not recognise the meaning of "subordination" but figured it out from the context - I cannot think of the proper word though.

Subordination is a common term used in the military to show the hierarchy of units. G. Moore 23:04, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

• I suppose LTC means Lieutenant colonel - maybe I missed the link.

It is a common abbreviation for a US Army Lieutenant Colonel. I linked Lieutenant Colonel, the first time it occurred and added the abbreviation in parenthesis. G. Moore 22:43, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

If you have time could you point out my mistakes in Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of active coal fired power stations in Turkey/archive1 Chidgk1 (talk) 17:32, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

I will take a look at it. Going through a Featured List review is one of the most instructive things that I have done in Wikipedia. G. Moore 23:04, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list along with Javila200084898 because I believed that this page already meets FL Criteria and guidelines, Javila200084898 and I is the most contributed to this page. First, as you can in the previous version which is the table, date, sources, font, and else is a mess so I've made my contributed to clean all the mess until it meets the criteria. In terms of reference, the reference of the previous version is very incomplete and I've resolved this problem. The Lead, Prose, Comprehensiveness is created by Javila200084898 and I believed that the sentence doesn't need the copyediting also in that section I only solved the problem of the date to make all of the dates are consistent. 19:44, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Johhnyfrankie13 (talk)

• Speedy close - once again, this editor has started a new FLC despite the fact that he/she has one open which has clearly not yet gained support. The FLC page clearly states "Nominators should not add a second featured list nomination until the first has gained substantial support and reviewers' concerns have been substantially addressed" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:49, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
