Please change the sims 4 to 'The Sims 4 (you have to put the ) to make the Sims 4 words shiny and people can click the blue text to go to The Sims 4 wikipedia page. Please also change the 'Also known as' part where it says 'Pokemon Dan daniel'. Change it to just simply, 'Dan' because people will get confused because he doesnt have the nickname 'Pokemon Dan Daniel'. Also change all the Middletons in the career page to DanTDM. If you know how, put a picture of him in 2015. Change 8 Million to 8,000,000 Subscribers to make it look better. it feels weird looking like 8 Million xD. Thanks!

Information about Daniel's wife, Jemma Middleton, is not given in the article, or information about his pets, 2 female pugs named Ellie and Darcee. Or statements about his wife having Chrohn's Disease. The info on Jemma is found from citation 5 on the article. The citations for the pugs are not on the page, but info can be found in both of Dan's current YouTube channels.

I have noticed that the numbers on how much money he makes is false. According to socialblade he makes anywhere from $1.1M - $17.1M a year. if you would like to check for yourself the line is here: http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/thediamondminecart. Please change between $213,000 and $2.15 million to $1.1M - $17.1M.

why isn't the awards section formatted like Stampy Cat's wikipedia page? Eh, maybe it's not nearly enough awards to do so. Daisy134 (talk) 04:50, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Name Source
If there a source for his name? I know the Dan part is obvious, but is there a primary source that his last name is Middleton? Something like a twitter post or interview. NOTE: On the cast list for Skylanders Acadamy, Middleton is there, and Daniel Wu is not DanTDM. I just dont know if a Netflix cast list is the best source. Skipper1931 (talk) 23:27, 29 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's already listed by plenty of secondary news articles like BBC, Guardian, Business Insider. He wouldn't even have a Wikipedia article if it weren't for such sources. If you want his primary you can look at his Draw My Life video. It's possible there's another Dan Middleton who voiced in Skylanders Academy, but that's more a specific case that would require more of those secondary sources. <strong style="color:#606060;">AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 00:48, 30 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Here's a primary source where he is announcing he is voicing in Skylanders Academy. and a tweet as well . You can also cite the episode if he appears in closing credits.

Importance rating for WP YouTube
Per WikiProject YouTube/Assessment:
 * Mid "Subject is only notable within its particular field or subject and has achieved notability in a particular place or area."
 * High "Subject is extremely notable, but has not achieved international notability, or is only notable within a particular continent."
 * Top "Subject is extremely important, even crucial, to its specific field. Reserved for subjects that have achieved international notability within their field."

I don't believe he's Top as he is not crucial to YouTube gaming, or is he in the historical sense? But he's notable for UK, being one of the top ten in the country (#4 in subscribers, #2 in views as of this post ), and he's definitely at the least Mid for being notable in his particular field. SB also has him listed as #40 in the world by subscribers, #15 in the world by most channel views. <strong style="color:#606060;">AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 14:38, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Request to make a change to the Personal Details section
To the concerned person,

Under the Personal Details section, under the photo of DanTDM, there is a problem in the Born subsection. It should state the name he was named at the time of his birth, the date of birth and place he was born in. It should not state his age because it would not make sense. DanTDM was born on November 8, 1991 aged 26. That is what it would say. If the age has to be added, please make a subsection for it. So, in short, remove the age and add it somewhere else.

 * The subject's former channel name is "TheDiamondMinecart", as stated in the article. While a redirect is possible, naming the page with slashes causes issues, especially when slashes here on Wikipedia are used to represent a directory. It's better to name the redirect by just the former name. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 15:13, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Bit late to the party and doesnt change anything, just adding to this that the channel display name was changed to include the slashes at some point in the past year (<2017) or two. I presume this was during his semi-rebrand, but it is insignificant and also awkward per the above. See this at 1:40. -- The SandDoctor Talk 05:01, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

It was originally his Youtube name, but he had to change it to just 'DanTDM' because fans kept uploading random videos from his Youtube channel. Probably best they don't rename it. Besides, the article already mentions it. Vincinel (talk) 18:08, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

I did some cool updates.

 * , please do not copy his current Twitter picture. That's a copyright violation and not released to the public as claimed. Also, his logo is nondescript now and different from the one he has printed in his merch. The play buttons don't need to be listed as awards, but can be woven into his narrative.

 * Lots of articles do. It's usually a matter of rather limited availability of non-copyright protected images. As for replacing the 2014 picture of Dan, I have found this on Flickr. That's a picture from 2016, which brings the article image a tad more up to date, I suppose. —♦♦ AMBER  (ЯʘCK)  09:25, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

I just want to change that horrendous picture.

I want to change it to a better quality, and newer picture of him. I'm hoping you will let me. Thank you.

Two suggestions
Since the article mentions MoreTDM, which has been inactive for years, I think it would also make sense to reference PokemanDanLv45, his other dead channel, in the "YouTube information" section. Along with this, I think it would also make sense to update his photo to something more modern, since the current one is from 2014

University that DanTDM supposedly attended?
A while back, I found a reference that confirmed that DanTDM attended the University of Nottingham and added it in. However, this information and reference have been deleted. In its place, someone said that DanTDM attended the University of Northampton. References were not included. I did a search on Google about this information, and it seems that some sources state that DanTDM attended the Univerity of Nottingham, while others say that he studied in Northampton. I even found a source that said that he studied at Northumbria University. What should the information really be, and which sources are actually reliable?
