Is this better? I am rdm_box on the forums, by the way. rdm_box 00:18, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- I think the TV show one is better, since I do believe the Yogscast is most famous for their Youtube shows, and everything else has grown out of that. Metalbunny (talk) 10:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- After looking at the Red vs Blue page, I thought the machinima infobox might work as well. I'll put one in for comparison here:

- I like the TV-show one better personally. It just looks nicer. The machinima box looks so... unfinished. Either way they both contain virtually the same information, though I dunno if they auto-categorize, which as I see it would be the main reason to go with one over the other.

Categories
[edit]Spent some time browsing through the categories while waiting for my ride. Red vs Blue is (among others) under Animated internet series and Internet memes, so I stuck those on for sure. Stuck it under a couple others as well that seemed semi-relevant. I can't for the life of me find a category that fits properly, but I guess the categorizers can handle that once we get the article live. Metalbunny (talk) 11:11, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
References
[edit]Gonna be looking for supporting references first, to comply with the Wikipedia requirements. No point in writing a whole bunch if we can't give the references required to keep the article from getting deleted. Gotta figure out the proper ref templates too, atleast since I haven't been on en.wiki in a while. Metalbunny (talk) 10:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- Removed the links from here, the wiki don't like me saving the page every 2 minutes for some reason... feel free to dump links here you think may be worth looking into for sourcing or reference. Chances are there's still some I haven't located even after going through 25 pages of Google results. Metalbunny (talk) 13:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
Reg: "(Fixed some brackets, added most subbed info. Not sure if http://vidstatsx.com/BlueXephos/youtube-channel is good enough source)". If it's static data it should be an ok source, otherwise I am not too sure. Believe the general rule is that you should use a source till you find a better, and as long as it's 3rd party it's "ok". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Metalbunny (talk • contribs) 20:39, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Origins
[edit]I'm not sure if the origins of the name deserves its own section. Perhaps a section called 'origins', describing the way they started producing content as well. rdm_box 01:47, 19 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rdmbox (talk • contribs)
- Yeah I know what you mean. I just threw it in there like that for now, since it's basically just copied from the Yogwiki. It's also missing a whole paragraph as I see it, about how it became yogscast (it's mentioned in the 2nd or 3rd WoW video). I write (probably a bit oddly) by doing paragraphs at a time and moving them around to build the sections/chapters in a way that makes sense. Figuring out the proper headings and sectioning and such is simply easier once I get it all stitched together in a coherent manner.Metalbunny (talk) 13:41, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
Bios
[edit]Wanted to add mini-bios of the top cast members (as in, the ones in the info box), but usable sources are scarse if even existing. Not that there's a deadline for the article, but may have to leave that bit out for the time being. Got a bunch of other stuff to deal with atm (plus my monitor decided to break today so may be without computer for a while), so work is going a lot slower.Metalbunny (talk) 20:53, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
