Social Media Statistics

There is a proposal at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Social Media Statistics that will affect many articles within the scope of this project. Please share you thoughts there. Thryduulf (talk) 14:17, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Closed as no consensus. I didn't expect that. Well then I won't be changing the infobox for a while. I'm pretty sure that a proposal limited to infoboxes could pass, as the vast majority of discussion participants suggested. wumbolo ^^^ 09:32, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it's a fair reading of the discussion. I made a crucial mistake in mandating style in addition to substance. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 12:34, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Missed that, IPs don't read WP:VPP. IMHO WP:NOTSTATS is clearer than this archived proposal. –84.46.53.86 (talk) 12:14, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Closing shop?

@Barkeep49 and Wumbolo: How about tagging this project as dead instead of semi-active? Asking you, because nobody else answered questions here, or did anything with the project page later. I'm familiar with the List of YouTubers including Emma Blackery, Emma Chamberlain, Hannah Witton, (maybe) Kim Iversen, and related articles such as YouTube Creator Awards or SitC.

Frankly, an almost dead project is not helpful, if you look at the following unanswered questions or tons of talk pages apparently guarded by this project in the case of AFDs or PRODs, but actually nobody cares. That's of course not your or my fault, but you are entitled to say no, not (yet) dead. –84.46.53.86 (talk) 12:14, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't consider myself a member of this project and would have no opinion on what its status is. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:22, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Plan A: merge "up" to WT:WikiProject Internet culture and tag as defunct.
Plan B: Tag as inactive and recommend to replace YouTube by Internet culture in WPBS manually.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Is WP:s position on having a Youtubers number of subscribers mentioned in the article cited to Youtube directly mentioned in any guidance or similar, or is it a question of arguing WP:PRIMARY, WP:V etc? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:25, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Everything in the lede and an infobox has to be covered in the body of the article (below lead, above ELs), was that your question? Of course I cheat, e.g., hide ugly socialblade crap in an edit summary. –84.46.53.117 (talk) 21:10, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Gråbergs Gråa Sång: There's some discussion of this at WP:NYOUTUBE. I think one of the objections to citing YouTube rather than a third-party source is that subscriber counts can go up or down, so a third-party article provides a point-in-time snapshot. Using secondary coverage implies there is some, so helps establish notability better than a subscriber count alone. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 15:49, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Curb Safe Charmer, thanks, I saw WP:NYOUTUBE, it's something, but personally I think it would be helpful if this was at guideline-level somewhere. Say I remove the YT-based numbers from Angry Joe citing WP:NYOUTUBE. I may be pessimistic, but I see "only an essay, PRIMARY allowed here" reverts coming. Something like "had X subscribers/views as of 2018" cited to The Hollywood Reporter or whatever is better, but can be argued to be lacking context depending on stuation (example).
