Links and stuff

Please fix the references up a bit (like adding Retrieved date, on my edit it was September 1) as I don't know how to do that. Also, criticism of MacBook is not a "campaign", so go figure what to do with that. Emperoringo (talk) 08:14, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Citations are his own youtube videos?

I wasn't aware of youtube videos being reliable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.36.67.212 (talk) 20:34, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That makes no sense. Surely Louis Rossmann is the most reliable source for talking about himself! Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:21, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure the "notable videos" are actually notable

Shouldn't it focus on his most viewed video, like "The horrible truth about Apple's repeated engineering failures" and "Genius Bar caught ripping customer off ON CAMERA", etc? I am a longtime viewer of his channel and did not know about the videos mentioned. BalaM314 (π) (talk) 16:39, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Originally the section was titled "Videos". In September 2021 I changed the section title from "Videos" to "Notable videos" because I wanted someone who was unfamiliar with Rossmann to understand that the section was not an exhaustive list of his videos. My interpretation is that the "Campaigns" section is for Rossmann's activist work and the Notable videos section is for other important information/content related to his YouTube channel. However, there is some content that I consider to be activist work in the notable video section and a few videos that I don't consider to be activist work in the campaigns section. I have spent some time thinking about this article's formatting and I haven't been able to come up with any way to improve it. If you've got a better section title or any other changes in mind feel free to implement them. MasonJar55 (talk) 15:29, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Original Research Notice

There are multiple instances of OR in this article, most notable is his recent move from NY to TX. While certainly an interesting fact, it's inclusion should not be solely based on his own personal announcement or YT videos.

My recent edit was (incorrectly?) reverted

My edit was reverted, apparently because of WP:UNDUE: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&diff=prev&oldid=1188999710. Forgive me if I misunderstand, but since there is no published alternative viewpoint, WP:UNDUE does not apply:

 Neutrality requires that mainspace articles and pages fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in those sources.

To me, this implies that if there is only one viewpoint published by a reliable source, then it is:

Okay to publish that viewpoint; and
Incorrect to publish any other viewpoint

If the argument was that my sources don't meet the criteria defined in WP:BLPSELFPUB for a reliable self-published source, then we could debate that, since they are borderline. But my edit does not, I believe, violate WP:UNDUE. Pandapip1 (talk) 18:01, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I might argue that it could be considered WP:OR and not necessarily undue (but to your point, WP:BLPSELFPUB would also apply). I would love it if a RS could cover Rossman's adventures in New York, but unless someone actually does, it probably shouldn't be included on his BLP, unfortunately.

How is some random Youtuber notable?

What's he done other than being a loudmouth about "right to repaair" Wikipedia:Notability applies here, and I fail to see how "random Youtuber" = notable. 27.96.192.138 (talk) 05:16, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
