Hi! In the linked article's FAC, you've mentioned that "[Jawed] Karim’s status is a bit unclear: he is shown as a founder and then shown criticising YouTube’s actions, while readers are still thinking he’s connected." Since the 20th anniversary of YouTube is soon approaching, I'd like to promote this article to FA status before then. I need clarification on Karim's status in the article.

Also, I'd highly recommend doing the same for the rest of your review (let me know what parts need to be corrected!) TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 04:51, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in my review, the structure was all wrong (I don't have time to go over it all fully at the moment) and information had been put in the wrong places within the article. It has to clearly tell the 'story' of the subject in a clear and logical manner that leaves no questions in the mind of someone who has never come across the subject before. Have a look at The Bus Uncle, an FA on a video meme as an example (it's a 2007 FA, so a bit shaky, but it's still a good model to use). Have a look at a couple of the other culture and society FAs to get an idea on the layout, standards, approach and extent of sourcing. Once you've looked over the previous FAs, use the Wiki Library and go through every source they have. Repeat the searches at the Internet Library and Google Books to find every scrap of information you can. - SchroCat (talk) 08:35, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Taking a look at the articles you've provided me, I assume you want the article to have sections about the video, its immediate reception, and its retrospective reception (in that order)? TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 02:42, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I saw you on the FAC mentor page, where you mentioned your interest in anything. Let me introduce you to a quintessential part of modern history - One Direction. The boy band is considered one of the best-selling and most successful music acts in the world, have been attributed towards forming part of the new "British invasion" in the United States, and their impact on fan hysteria has had them compared to The Beatles and Beatlemania. I am looking forward to promoting this article to FA by the band's 15th anniversary this July, so all help is appreciated. Thank you! :) jolielover♥talk 15:57, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jolielover, while I have been a mentor in the past and am happy to do it, it does depends on the subject - and that’s one I’ll have to turn down, I’m afraid. Good luck with the nom though. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 21:19, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Thank you anyway! jolielover♥talk 02:27, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
