Reasons against CoCoMelon Deletion
User 2yechan was hired by Treasure Studio Inc, the parent company for CoCoMelon. The user has been instructed to write information regarding the history of CoCoMelon company, which does not have much media presence outside of YouTube. The CoCoMelon Wikipedia page is a young work in progress, and current lack of sources does not justify grounds for deletion. All video screenshots are justified by fair use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.169.226.132 (talk) 20:26, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

The monetary incentives will not compromise the neutrality of the subject, I hope. Leather Daddy Lenin (talk) 13:59, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Vice article
I removed the following, as the source actually said, "But not all of kids YouTube is a hellscape" and referred to Cocomelon in the context of the not-hellscape part of YouTube. The article raised concerns about weird recommendations being presented to kids, but that's an issue with kids using YouTube in general. Clayoquot (talk &#124; contribs) 05:04, 6 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Vice called the "mass-created animation" that channels such as Cocomelon and other channels like make a part of a YouTube "hellscape".

Why I trimmed the lede
I trimmed out much of the controversy, including the sentence that was in the lede. I cannot get to the WSJ article, but the Wired article is not calling out this channel specifically, but rather children's music videos in general, and I felt that it was unfair of us to imply that there is something about Cocomelon in particular that is problematic. — Soap — 22:15, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

comment on vandalism
Since June 1 2020 there has been an increase in vandalism on this page, but there have been good IP edits as well .... for example, the person who introduced the information about Netflix did so as an IP, and so I believe the page is best left open to IP editing for the time being. Hopefully the meme will wear itself out soon. — Soap — 02:21, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Episode list
Hi folks,

I think a lot of parents would benefit from a list of cocomelon episodes on Netflix with a list of what songs appear in what order. Our little one asks for specific songs all the time and it would be nice not to have to switch to YouTube every time, or skip around looking for them.

I'll ping the company and ask if they have a listing, but I super don't have the time and energy to transfer that info into a well-formatted episode list section... Dmurring (talk) 03:02, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

subscribers
SocialBlade now, for the first time, places Cocomelon above PewDiePie in subscriber count, but Im not sure that this is real, since it's not clear that YouTube's back end is providing anything other than the rounded estimate of 109 million. Even if a third-party publishes a story now saying that Cocomelon has in fact crossed over to 2nd place, I want to wait until we can see either an exact subscriber count (which I dont think is possible) or one of the channels, presumably Cocomelon, reaching 110 million so that it will be indisputable. — Soap — 14:32, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Request to change Cocomelon to CoComelon and add content
Hi, this is Eloise. I have some basic requests for this page that I hope will be able to implement.
 * 1) Throughout the article CoComelon is written incorrectly, with a lower-case 'c' in the middle of the name. The correct way to write the name is CoComelon, with two upper-case 'C's. Using the search function "Ctrl"+F you should be able to find all the instances where CoComelon needs to be changed.
 * 2) In the Intro section the second sentence should begin with "CoComelon is an animated musical children's series that specializes in 3D animation videos..."
 * 3) Please add the following as the last sentence of the Intro section: " On Netflix CoComelon was among the top ten of all Netflix shows, including shows for adults, for the year ending in August 2021. "
 * 4) In the first paragraph of the "Content" section, please add the following to the beginning of the first sentence: "CoComelon's educational videos use songs to teach children and include children, adults, and animals..."
 * 5) Please add the following as the second sentence to the first paragraph of the "Content" section: "The series is focused on a young boy named JJ, his family, and their everyday activities, such as eating vegetables, and attending school. "

Thanks so much for all your help. Eloise Moonbug (talk) 10:46, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Im sorry, I dont feel comfortable doing these edits ... and Im not sure I have a good way to word what I want to say.
 * I noticed a while back that you've been editing articles directly lately, and hoped that you'd be able to do likewise with edits in general, but the fact that you present this as a request while editing the other pages directly leads me to think there may be something different about this request I was missing at first.  While I didnt see anything wrong with the edit at first, looking at it more closely I can see two things that could be a problem ....
 * The letter casing of the name of the channel should be consistent within the article, but could create a headache for Wikipedia editors as much of the editing on this article will revolve around correcting people who type out the name in standard letter casing, as that is what they may feel the proper spelling is; at least for now, the YouTube channel still uses the spelling Cocomelon with a lowercase c. Im actually not sure what Wikipedia policy is on this, if there is one ... Im trying to think of another company with an internal capital letter in its logo that isnt a separate  word  to see if there is a precedent to follow.
 * The rest of the edit seems like a very close paraphrase of the audio interview.
 * Im not sure what else to say .... if the edit were not controversial, i would expect you'd have been comfortable making it directly, ... that implies that this edit is controversial, so Im not comfortable signing off on it myself.   Im sorry I cant say more. — Soap — 22:30, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi . I understand your concerns about implementing my requests. Please allow me to politely address each one of your concerns, and hopefully you will see that my requests are in good faith and will ultimately improve the article.


 * You are correct that the title of the YouTube channel has not yet changed to CoComelon, but that is for technical reasons, and it is spelled with two capital Cs in all other official places. Note as well that our logo has two capital Cs, and most reliable sources about CoComelon use this style.


 * Regarding my direct editing, I have limited it to extremely minor changes, such as updating the Moonbug Entertainment infobox, adding a logo or a link, fixing grammar and removing erroneous content. Whenever my desired changes have gone beyond those categories, I have put them in an edit request – not because they are necessarily controversial, but because they are not extremely minor.


 * As far as the close paraphrasing goes, thanks for catching that. I re-wrote edits #3, #4 and #5 so they less resemble the original content. Since edit request #2 only adds a few words to the second sentence, I think it is probably OK as is. If you disagree, please change it to however you feel is the best construction.


 * Here is an alternative phrasing of requested edit #3: CoComelon was one of Netflix's ten most popular shows among all programming, for the year ending in August 2021.


 * Alternative phrasing for requested edit #4: Using music as a teaching tool, CoComelon's educational videos include adults, children and animals..."


 * New version for edit request #5: The videos portray the everyday activities, like healthy eating and going to school, of a young boy named JJ, and his family.

Thanks again for all your help. I hope we can continue to work together pleasantly and productively in the future. Eloise Moonbug (talk) 10:13, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * , Hi there. It's been a while since we last spoke, and I saw that you're editing less actively these days. I wanted to just wrap up this one point, if you have a moment. How about adding the following to the first sentence of the article for now: "Cocomelon, stylized as CoComelon, is an American YouTube channel and streaming media show..."


 * If this is acceptable, I'd be happy to make the edit myself. Seeing as it's uncontroversial I would have done so already, but wanted to check with you since it relates to this previous discussion. Thanks again for all of your assistance, Eloise Moonbug (talk) 13:51, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I support this change but I really, really, need to resign immediately and forever from  this project and from all commitments  outside the very narrow issue of     the color-based   weatherbox template editing and        occasional minor edits that dont require me to read the full text of the Wikipedia page or to read a page linked from offsite.  I'm glad I was able to help  improve this article back in late 2019 when   it was in trouble but I can no longer help.    Best regards, — Soap — 13:09, 25 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Soap, thank you for your help over the years. Best of luck with your future endeavors. Eloise Moonbug (talk) 17:01, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
