Photos
The c:Category:Emma Blackery photos are fine for the event, but not good enough for the artist. Please find some nicer CC-BY-SA photos. Or create them in the UK or on her EU tours. –84.46.52.222 (talk) 07:50, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
- Better suggestion, grab some nice photos from Cute Without Ya on YouTube, upload them to WikiMedia Commons (licence CC-BY, attribution Blackery + video URL), and pick what you like best for the infobox here.
- Presumably
{{Infobox YouTube personality}}
doesn't permit a vocal range, but if you know how to handle this without WP:USM source check out The Vocal Range of Emma Blackery (E♭3 - C♯6) on YouTube. –84.46.53.87 (talk) 12:22, 2 January 2019 (UTC) - Update on the photo business, I've now extracted some CC-BY pictures from her CC-BY video on YouTube, and I'm still looking for a volunteer with a WikiMedia Commons account for a copy from a shared album to commons:Category:Emma Blackery. Ignore the meta data details, I can handle that on Commons without logging in, only the upload does not work as IP. –84.46.53.16 (talk) 08:44, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- AOB: Some videos discussed in
Mainstream MediaCelebMix e.a. are AWOL (=deleted or switched to private), I note one ID here waiting for better times: XDzsATaYUI8. –84.46.53.34 (talk) 16:24, 17 January 2019 (UTC) Updated (was two IDs), just in case, thanks. –84.46.52.251 (talk) 03:58, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Total views
The {{infobox YouTube personality}}
claims 157.5 million views combined as of 13 January 2018. Checking that I get 143.0 + 4.1 = 147.1 millions (lede: main + VEVO) plus 8.8 + 0.7 + 0.1 = 9.6 millions (vloggery + emmaforthewin + another inactive) for a total of 147.1 + 9.6 = 156.7 millions as of today.
This "negative" number of views in 2018 suggests that the article should use an infobox for musicians, with vocal type + range etc. (see #Photos), and that the moving targets "subscribers" + "views" should be limited to the main + VEVO channel in the lede. "Official" achievements like 100,000 or 1,000,000 subscribers can be moved to / noted in the #YouTube section. € 0,02: –84.46.52.107 (talk) 13:24, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

- Apparently good enough, the gold button can be covered in the prose. I don't get why the infobox for musicians doesn't cover nationality + residence + education. –84.46.52.182 (talk) 10:42, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Update 1: Maker Studios needs a reference: I've "parked" it in #See also for a later clean-up. Views + subscribers are covered in the lede, no loss in a transition to
{{Infobox musical artist}}
. For a singer I wonder why there is no mezzo-soprano or vocal range etc., but I can't judge it, and the only "references" I know are fan videos. Some silver button is presumably irrelevant in presence of a gold button, but the latter has to be covered with a reference or a{{fact}}
in the prose. - Ditto the education blurb (reference exists), for the residence I anyway assume that it's obsolete, and she carefully avoids to spill details. I'll implement that soon, less places to update unclear WP:STATS should be an improvement. –84.46.52.182 (talk) 11:32, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Update 2: Education saved in #Personal life, gold button saved in #YouTube (2015), infobox swapped. –84.46.52.182 (talk) 12:00, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Update 3: Revelmode belonged to Maker Studios as explained on PewDiePie, it needs no further reference, all listed together in See also and Category:Revelmode people. –84.46.52.214 (talk) 11:33, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- Update 4: Nobody reverted the infobox so far, or IOW, not all further minor facts on Emma Blackery justify yet another primary video source, unless somebody asks and no better source exists: Trying it for Tessa Violet in #Personal life.[1] Some YT algorithm just recommended THIS video for me, stupid bot.
–84.46.52.31 (talk) 15:46, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
- Update 5: New counters for two songs, edit summary s/1,600,000/1.7 million/, s/1,250,000/1.27 million/, can we now PLEASE remove these silly WP:STATS? "My thoughts on Google+" (2013) is at almost 4.0 million and NOT counted here. Should be WP:NOTSTATSBOOK, sorry. –84.46.52.26 (talk) 19:40, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- Three counters removed. –84.46.52.217 (talk) 05:45, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- View counters for the "top 3" videos (excl. Google+, that would No. 2) removed, reliable sources for two of the "top 3" added, self-published source of the viral Google+ video replaced by source for viral + 2018 German reliable source embedding this 2013 English video. One of two Agenda videos removed. –84.46.52.197 (talk) 05:12, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- Update 6: FYI, Talk:List of YouTubers#Emma Blackery, still celebrating her now successfully finished Google+ exorcism, musician it is, list anyway added to #See also. –84.46.52.197 (talk) 23:59, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Current and former channels
Admittedly the intro of the #YouTube section is too minimalistic, but claiming that there is only one active channel now without any source is no improvement:
- The VEVO channel isn't "inactive", a new video was added on 9 August 2018 before the Villains Tour 2018. Unsurprisingly there was no newer music video while she released no newer music.
- The inactive emmaforthewin channel has a "joined 2009" on it's about sub-page, it's her oldest still existing channel: Actually her second channel, unless I missed something, and the reference is good for "YouTuber since 2009" (or similar) statements.
- The newest video on Vloggery was added seven months ago, and "possibly maybe"/"probably maybe" (Björk vs. Blackery) she won't use it anymore. But enwiki is no WP:CRYSTALBALL, without reliable third party sources we're not supposed to make up "alternative facts" out of thin air, and definitely not in a biography. On a bio a self-published source (by the person described in the bio) can be good enough; OTOH everything needs a source.
–84.46.52.165 (talk) 16:04, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Update: The Joined timestamps shown on a channel's About page are useless. She stated that the now dead PinkFluffyHatTime was her 1st channel, followed by a now inactive 2nd Joined 29 Jul 2011 TheseSilentSeas, and a now also inactive 3rd Joined 4 Feb 2009 EmmaForTheWin.So when are you gonna delete THIS channel? on YouTube
I'll replace #3 by #2 in the #YouTube section; CamelCase by me, for upper case I'd need a VM/370 /dev/pun with virtual punched cards. – #TheFartOfNoiseno offence on YouTube, 84.46.53.168 (talk) 23:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
@82.15.21.148: Presumably you're right, but without reference it's not obvious, or whatever passes as clear enough on a WP:BLP, suggestion:
{{As of|since=y|2018|05|12}}
she hasn't posted on this channel.

FYI: Content assessment, challenging importance=low for YouTube here. Maybe I'll try the suggested BOLD fix later. –84.46.53.16 (talk) 06:10, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- Implemented as class=B + importance=mid, maybe all those SitC + VidCon + YouTube Rewind appearances aren't good enough for an importance=high.YouTube Rewind: The Truth (Why I'm saying NO next year) on YouTube –84.46.53.230 (talk) 11:15, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- After working on this page for two months I now think that it could pass a

review. Somebody will upload more #Photos soon, i.e., I'll reactivate my account for this business in March for a day if nobody else volunteers to upload one CC-BY video + 19 photos taken from this video. –84.46.52.182 (talk) 13:09, 21 February 2019 (UTC)- The problem isn't the silly photo, it's the missing review summary for Villains (the album, for the tour it's fixed), the missing review summary for the book (one unreliable source killed), and the missing I have been blind quote from Third Eye for up to 509 84.46.5[23].* IPv4s.

Personal life
@C.Fred: That's a good section for some facts still missing here such as her activism against "self harm". But this is a BLP, and I could add more than one self-published video, where she stated that she shared too much of her personal life.
The CFS fact is the proverbial tip of the iceberg, there are also self-published videos about other health issues (plural), about the locations + meanings + timestamps of tattoos, and about lots of other personal facts on and on repeating
right down to cup sizes, where I think that enwiki could wait for reliable+relevant 3rd party sources instead of self-published videos or CelebMix stories.
Presumably folks with similar issues will be delighted if they find somebody talking publicly about it, so this should be still good (for them). OTOH somewhere is a line where "good for them" and "bad for her" could get into a violent conflict, and a BLP isn't the place to fight it out. –84.46.53.242 (talk) 17:05, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- It would be better if the illness were discussed in independent sources, even if the info came from interviews with her. My concern was getting the information into a format that was more fitting for an article after the 91.1.* IP added it; discussion could then follow on whether it warranted inclusion. —C.Fred (talk) 02:49, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
–84.46.52.251 (talk) 04:04, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
- Related, Feel Good 101: The Outsiders' Guide to a Happier Life exists now and ends up on #Book here. Expanding that section could cover other issues, she didn't pull the video series out of thin air. The book in Category:Books about mental health is based on the series. –84.46.52.2 (talk) 22:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
Presumably some folks interested in this BLP wonder why deleting an Instagram account and a Twitter account with 750K followers is not yet noted here.[2] The reddit statement is a primary reference, arguably unsuited here until some WP:42 source confirms the fact without discussing the "unencylopedic" five years old YouTube drama related to this reaction now. I've seen about ten comments on an obscure forum, and that's definitely off topic here; maybe one comment telling her that she shouldn't read this, let alone edit there, nailed it, but of course random forums (with few exceptions) are totally unsuited on enwiki. –84.46.53.245 (talk) 19:22, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- The problem with Wikipedia is that, besides being open to anyone, it encourages fans to write paratext.[1] That perverse incentive results in sub-optimal policy-violating content. My recommendation is to stick to what The Guardian publishes. If Emma were that important, real journalists (rather than Redditors) would have written about her. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:29, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
References
- ^ Thomas, Paul. "Wikipedia and participatory culture: Why fans edit".
- Fun fact, there are actually two references of The Guardian on the page. I've invited Alicedeve to the discussion here. From my Pov five CelebMix references at the moment are on the border of too much, and two WeTheUnicorns aren't better. She's now musician before vlogger, further self-published videos must be really essential as references. For the one in #Book I could explain the rationale, but I've actually already done this between the first 32B or 34D lines of this section. –84.46.52.233 (talk) 20:12, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
- Sanity check, there are 9…12 uses of journal.transformativeworks.org on enwiki, the article doesn't mention WP:42, WP:BLP, or any other enwiki rule, the journal isn't listed on WP:RS/P, it's not known in the WP:RS/Noticeboard archives, also not as TWC, and the TWC page doesn't have Transformative Works and Culture. The article doesn't mention Wikia a.k.a. FANDOM, this is a rather dubious essay, speaking as "phan" of Blackery or fan of Sasha Grey, Madonna, Suzi Quatro, etc.
–84.46.52.233 (talk) 21:08, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
- TWC now has Transformative Works and Cultures, maybe it helps for searches. –84.46.52.48 (talk) 19:44, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

- MY 2c - Given Emma's known to start and stop Youtube channels and given the fact she can easily delete the videos I would personally like to see these backed up by other sources, If an excerpt from the book could be provided with the book that says both claims then I would be happy for her book to be used as a citation,
- Not saying she's lying not at all but as far as I know for medical claims there needs to be actual substantial evidence and I would consider excerpts to be substantial evidence as opposed to just the book itself if that makes sense. –Davey2010Talk 21:27, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
- Just for clarity when I say excerpts I mean something like this or like this. –Davey2010Talk 21:31, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
- I never understood those horrible books.google URLs, but "no preview" for [3] is a dead-end at the moment. The #Book section is okay as is, "anxiety and depression" is even listed on the books.google abstract, and "self harm" was something she observed (trying to avoid the word "only" in this context.) –84.46.52.197 (talk) 12:05, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- Just for clarity when I say excerpts I mean something like this or like this. –Davey2010Talk 21:31, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Davey2010 and C.Fred: Checking all references I just found that the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome video is unlisted, and she said at the start: "I usually try and keep this sort of stuff real private". Can I just remove this self-published source or should we ask the BLP/N experts? –84.46.52.197 (talk) 18:06, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Second-wave feminism
@AusLondonder: Category:British feminists needs some source, categories are no bullshit bingo. I'd know exactly how to support this claim for, say, Madonna (quote: bad-ass feminist) or Sasha Grey (quote: post-modern feminist), but found so far nothing quotable in about 200 videos supporting it here. –84.46.53.230 (talk) 10:21, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- Removed until somebody offers a reason why this category should be here, and Madonna said bad, not bad-ass. –2A03:2267:2:0:B84C:2193:8951:3E9D (talk) 15:01, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- That's on the border to misleading, all those 84.46.*.* IPv4s and the 2A03:2267:... IPv6s (sometimes degenerating into a 193.whatever IPv4) were the same user.[4] –84.46.53.206 (talk) 21:28, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- EssexLive (red link, but used as source on enwiki) featured 38 local heroines on International Women's Day in 2019. The entry for Blackery was a link to an article published before the Villains tour:[5] Very useful here, but more a case of patriotism than of feminism.
–84.46.52.217 (talk) 22:10, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- Found "a thoughtful, funny, ferocious feminist unafraid of having an opinion" in a The Daily Dot WCW quote, not good enough for a cat before Leia. Besides 60+ guys trying to overrule her own judgement could infuriate her (references on demand, it was in the audience stats and at least two other videos, 36+ is strictly out.) –84.46.52.44 (talk) 05:50, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- "‘Villians’ strikes us as being a bit of a feminist album" by Lisa Hafey was always the best Villains review, not yet evaluated:[6] I'd love to know how Emma reacted to my favourite riot grrrl John Oliver yesterday:[7] –84.46.53.98 (talk) 11:49, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Missing info
There should be something about tattoos, hamsters, Zelda, WWE, The Sims, Lush, Reddit, … (skipping the fisting list, etc.) Her half-siblings are also AWOL, ditto Leia. Please suggest good sources, but not yet another self-published video, I'd know where to find that:[8] –84.46.52.217 (talk) 03:41, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- Step-sister added,[9] ex not added, declaring a CoI: Dramatis Personae is fiction in the Diamond Age. –84.46.52.44 (talk) 04:18, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- For the ASA×Oreo issue in 2014 I'm lost, is this relevant? The Guardian reported it, mentioning Blackery in passing.[10] IIRC she mentioned it in a video. Her former #FartOfNoise in Catch you later… 💩 could be more interesting for some phans. –84.46.52.197 (talk) 01:49, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

- Image to the right added by 84.46.52.28 (talk) 04:27, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- There are no Feel good 101 reviews in reliable sources. Two here unusable candidates are [11] (podcast with Emma Gunn × Emma Blackery) and [12] (april is the cruellest month, blog). Two usual suspects TenEighty and WeTheUnicorns are based on the announcement, no reviews at all. –84.46.52.195 (talk) 19:55, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- Zelda added: The podcast covers tattoos, but an attempt in that direction was so un-encyclopedic that I killed it after a preview. I don't recall if that podcast directly covers Triforce as an example, but after all it's visible on many of her videos (incl. one now lost mirrored Twitter video with the Triforce on the wrong side.) The Sims are covered as one of her most viewed videos, I'm not really interested in Lush, the hamsters belong to the "skip the tattoos trivia" (after Zelda), and Leia is a pet/cat, unsuited for this BLP until The Guardian decides otherwise. –84.46.53.186 (talk) 23:33, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- BTW, the Triforce is also visible on several c:category:Emma Blackery photos, no video required, and explaining what it is in #Personal life should be okay. –84.46.52.28 (talk) 04:20, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- Self-proclaimed Slytherin could be
funinteresting, but not at the price of another self-published video in this BLP. –84.46.52.28 (talk) 13:43, 7 April 2019 (UTC) - I've added Liberty in North Korea 2015 instead of North Korea, because one source not belonging to the usual suspects ("official phanzine" TenEighty, "140 billion" WeTheUnicorns, CelebMix) would be this. I like it, but it's not my bold day. –84.46.52.219 (talk) 04:15, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
- More missing info could be Draft:Daniel Hardcastle in #See also iff promoted to a proper article (almost hopeless), and SEEVIC found on an external source (not used anywhere on enwiki, presumably no RS, but lists two former channels and other details I didn't know). Maybe useful for a dewiki translation / another complete list of all Villains Tour locations:[13] –84.46.52.203 (talk) 08:49, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
Villains
After checking Villains (album), Villains (Emma Blackery album) is a nice red link. I tend to unlink red links with only one incoming link as on Special:WhatLinksHere/Villains (Emma Blackery album), but for this convoluted (but correct) name that would be unfair. @96.48.148.177: If you need help with creating a Draft:Villains (Emma Blackery album) holler, it's no rocket science, I've tested the procedure elsewhere. Listing Villains on the article wishlist is apparently easy (compared with my Talibam! entry), added. –84.46.52.138 (talk) 09:06, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- Just in case, if all you want is a fair-use cover image, this is also no rocket science, but requires somebody willing to log in for Special:Upload, a lo-fi variant of the cover image scaled down to whatever is usual for non-free images of album covers here, and a fair-use rationale explaining why this is required on exactly one enwiki page Emma Blackery, switched to the album page later (after the album draft was published and survived the AfD). –84.46.52.197 (talk) 18:21, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Unrelated, I think I just found the 4th wannabe-author using the same phrases "flirts with tropical house" and "Emma is forced to consider her own part in her downfall", some major copy and paste adventure without credits from "Dirt" via "Icarus" ending at "Villains". –84.46.52.203 (talk) 09:09, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

I've sorted the cats from well-known to utter dubious, see above for the removed feminism category until somebody finds a source better than a deleted podcast or similar.[14] It's the same mess as on Sasha Grey, where I have so far removed 8 cats without getting any answer to why they were added, mixing completely unrelated concepts including location, religion, gender, sexual preferences, and former job.
Fortunately the zealots have not yet discovered Blackery, we are not forced to produce Christian or Atheist out of thin air—I'd consider both as insult, libel, and in conflict with BLP policies—unless there are some solid sources, plural. Actually I could guess what the "correct" cat would be, and could also find the video, where she stated that this belongs to the topics she does not discuss in public.
The (now) first eight categories are simple, 1991, living, Basildon, Musician+Essex, female record producer (Emma, that's Kate, say "hi"), wellness writer, female blogger, and FWIW Revelmode. The "female blogger" is based on December 2018, there is no "female blogger" on Yoko Ono, I killed this stupid cat here: The gender is perfectly irrelevant for blogs in the 2010s, otherwise please show me the "male blogger" category, and the enwiki-manual for transgender blogger categories with wikilinks to a verifiable community consensus.
Without female blogger the female YouTuber could make sense; as of 2011, when it maybe was not yet perfectly normal. Please show me the "male YouTuber" category while at it, again with a verifiable enwiki-community consensus about transgender YouTuber etc. BTW, do we have any source for "female", e.g., how sure are we that she is no younger brother of the Kenyan Obama?
With female YouTuber "in" for whatever reason I'm not sure about English YouTuber, how often do categories repeat the same info female, British, women, English, … in absolutely no predictable way? I get that English is sharper than British, if asked I could sing c:COM:REDCAT, above all avoid loops was a part of my UseNet/FidoNet religion, and graph theory is the one topic in math/CS I never forgot.
That's already three YouTuber categories, Revelmode+female+English. The "comedy" is not state of the art, I removed it on probation, same idea as former "adult"/"porn" on Sasha Grey. Ditto English video blogger, the article says "has not posted since May 2018" about vloggery. Maybe English vlogger would be sharper than English YouTuber, OTOH vlog is not necessarily YouTube. –84.46.53.140 (talk) 22:09, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
Brentwood Festival
Brentwood Festival on 14 July 2019 needs a reliable source beating WP:CRYSTAL.[15] –84.46.52.203 (talk) 00:16, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
Villains Tracklist
I just finished up a quick grammar pass and noticed that the formatting for the Villains tracklist looks more than a bit messy. It may just be my browser, so could one of you chime in and confirm? I'm extremely new to this whole editing thing, so I'd admittedly need to leave that fix to someone more experienced. However, while I'm writing about it, is that tracklist notable enough to include in the first place? NinjaPenguinDan (talk) 04:41, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- That was my bad idea for two reasons: (1) Somebody suggested a page for the album, cf. #Villains, and that page would need a track list. (2) The singles actually list all tracks of the EPs, because I never figured out what was "really" a single, or "only" a music video showing up in the "Emma Blackery topic" or EmmaBlackeryVEVO channels on YouTube.
For the Villains LP it's clearer, and it would be odd to exclude the 11-4=7 tracks from the LP, but list almost everything else (some early demos and royalty free tracks are not mentioned at all, Blackery deleted her bandcamp account in one of her irregular history clean-up exercises ;) I've replaced 12em (4 columns for me) by 15em (3 columns for me), does that change anything for you, and is it better? –84.46.53.175 (talk) 06:05, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- Gotcha. Thanks a bunch for the info. I suppose I would have found your first point about Villans had I read through the rest of the talk page in more detail, so we'll just say 'lesson learned' and leave it at that. Thanks for not slapping me down harshly. I'm still not entirely sold on its necessity in this particular article, but as a newbie, I'd probably best not debate it further until I have a good bit more familiarity with the style guidelines. As for your formatting adjustment, that does look neater, so thanks for the effort. However, I glanced at a few other album-related articles and found a guide at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Album_article_style_advice#Track_listing, and after some examination it just doesn't seem to match stylistically. A simple numbered list without columns would work, though aesthetically I'd prefer the {{Track listing}} template that they list. That's purely a matter of personal preference, though, so take it with a grain of salt. Yes, I do realize that this article isn't strictly within the scope of WikiProject Albums, but I'd wager this specific usage falls close enough that we can follow their style manual. Any thoughts? –NinjaPenguinDan (talk) 06:41, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
