NOT NUMBER ONE ANYMORE, CHANGE NEEDED
As of 9/25/08, Smosh is no longer the #1 most subscribed on YouTube. The article must be changed! http://www.youtube.com/members?s=ms&t=a&g=0 <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned"SuperWiki8 (talk) 19:32, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Editing smosh
Why is the page not editable? Some things need to be updated. user:ScoutingforGirls 10:42 13 February 2008 (GMT)
 * It is, if you have an account, which you have. Androo123 (talk) 17:29, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Newgrounds
They have several flash videos on Newgrounds. Should we include them in the article? snakecrack76 06:24 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Some of those movies on Newgrounds are ones that are also on YouTube (e.g. Mortal Kombat Theme). I also found out that the person who maintains the Smosh profile on Newgrounds is Anthony. Preceding 16 September (15 September and before), the profile had his age as 19, but the next day on 16 September, the age was 20, and I'm pretty positive that it's Anthony who has the profile on Newgrounds. SchfiftyThree (talk) 23:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

re-orginisation
I shuffled a few things around yesterday (thought I'd added to the talk page but must not have saved it) I put the article under some sub-headings: the list of videos and the controversy over the pokemon theme. Any veterans out there who think it was a turn for the worse please feel free to speak up. Also I added the bit about the "shut up- that song's copyrighted" themeVeggieburgerfish (talk) 19:03, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

By the way I think something needs to be done about the list of videos it needs to be updated or abolished; there are only a few there. I also think there is a template for videography somewhere I think I've seen it on some other page but I can't remember which and have no clue how to use them anywayVeggieburgerfish (talk) 19:03, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Hebrew
I made a smosh page in the Hebrew wikipedia, you can see it from the left side of the article here, in other languages: עברית. --80.230.4.130 10:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Sources needed
The article contains quite a lot of utterly unsourced statements. Among the worst (in this respect) sections, I would name "Website history", "Removed/Altered videos", "Equipment", and "Trivia". "Video history" could also be a little more precise when, for example, "critical acclaim" or "good reviews" are mentioned. While I do not doubt the truth of these statements, we should still give reliable sources for them. If none are forthcoming, I might remove all unsourced statements in a few weeks. --Huon 17:14, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Thats pretty much my fault. I've been an active part of the smosh community for over 3 years. When I saw this article I just sorta started writing pretty much everything I knew about smosh.--Ashuku 07:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Lets just cite what we can from the New York Times article, the magazine article, that interview with Anthony on the Smosh myspace blog, and the rest we can say was confirmed by the webmaster of Smosh or Anthony --Ngard039 14:39, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but no. We can't say something "was confirmed by Anthony". Even if Anthony edited the article in person (and I believe people are discouraged from significantly adding to articles about themselves), he would still need to give reliable sources in order to satisfy WP:RS and WP:NOR. Actually, I believe everything that can't be sourced is not notable enough to be included in the first place. For example, "Equipment" - is it really notable that Anthony uses a Dell? Does it have any impact on the quality of Smosh's work? --Huon 15:41, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually it is, one of the questions frequently asked on the website is "what equipment do you guys use for the videos?" The inclusion of that into the article helps to answer this and cut down on people's questions.--Ngard039 21:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't object - if it is verifiable. If it is not, then it does not belong on Wikipedia. After all, Wikipedia is not Smosh's FAQ. --Huon 12:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I have verifiable sources, but do I really have to put a newpaper quote verifying that Anthony and Ian are really 18 and attend Amercain River College?


 * If there is a newspaper article mentioning those facts, sure, go ahead and put it under "References". I wouldn't even know where to look for such an article. --Huon 15:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I actually had links to the articles in exterior links, but someone deleted them.--Ngard039 01:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, Huon. Is that better?--Ngard039 20:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's quite a lot better. I would love to add the Sacramento Bee article, too, but unfortunately it can only be read by registered users. --Huon 09:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Can we have this article locked from vandals? There's been way too much vandalism on this page.--Ngard039 20:06, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

If you used Wikipedia for anything other than creating and editing the entry about yourself you might better understand wikipedia's Semi-protection policy.

"Semi-protection should be considered if it is the only option left available to solve the problem of vandalism of the page, if the amount of vandalism is difficult for editors to keep up with. Like full protection, it is usually a last resort, not a pre-emptive measure."

Jaderaid 08:15, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


 * We've been getting very large amounts of vandalism resently. I suggest have we reconsider semi-protection for this page. CRouleau 00:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Most vandalism is done by 207.216.48.71 I think we need an admin to ban him from editing pages -CRouleau 06:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong support I also agree we need to semi-protect this page. -- User: (talk • contribs) 22:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Age?
How old are the boys? What's their date of births, are they still 18 or is that info old? JayKeaton 14:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * According to the Medium article, both were eighteen in March 2006. Their birthdates seem to be difficult to trace. Maybe we should just give their ages at some important event (e.g. creation of the Pokémon theme song)? --Huon 15:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh cool, I got the dobs, just emailed them. I will also create stubs for both of them. The rationale behind it is that they are pretty well known, one of their videos is the second most popular of all time on YouTube and there is a strong possibility that their website and community may expand a lot in the future, like other sites that have turned into industries, like PennyArcade and newgrounds. JayKeaton 19:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

According to their Myspace profile (which is run by Anthony and Ian) they are both currently 19 years old. evoblur 21:12, 26 June 2007 (EST)

Ian is 19 and Anthony is 20. User:EuroJordan 16:10 November 6, 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 22:11, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Clean up
This page could also use quite a bit of clean up, I'll add it to my things to do but any suggestions, or better yet some cleaning up itself, please report here JayKeaton 19:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

It's much too breezy, in a fannish tone, and the article should not repeatedly call them by their first names. User:Zoe|(talk) 02:03, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Why can't they call them by their first names? A lot of people don't know their last names and besides, look at the "Brookers" article: Brooke_Brodack. That seems way more fannish than the Smosh one. --Ngard039 15:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Encyclopedias don't use first names except to distinguish people with the same last name. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:10, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

There's other articles that call the subject by their first name Kimbo_Slice, do they all need the cleanup stamp? --Ngard039 14:39, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Almost everywhere it said "Ian and Anthony" I changed to "Padilla and Hecox" it sounds kinda weird in some of the places so feel free to change them to "the boys" "smosh" whatever.


 * I fixed the brookers article too. :) Jaderaid 08:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I fixed the Kimbo Slice article, Ngard039, if you know of any more articles with the first name, last name problem please tell me on my talk page. -CRouleau 05:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Some of you may have cleaned it up a bit TOO Well. Look at the article. What's different? EuroJordan (talk) 19:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

"Cruft"
I fail to see how including their dates of birth is "cruft." illspirit|talk 23:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Easter Eggs, Deleted Videoes?
Should we add these? They are apart of something and would let people know. Why did we delete them in the first place?MattC13 15:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Pokemon theme song
Hey I was on youtube today and hello the pokemon theme song is still there.
 * It is not from smosh, though.
 * Well the original video by Smosh was removed a while ago, did you see one of the voice dubs in another language? A speed-up slow-down version? If you just saw the original Smosh video then it was uploaded it by someone who went to Smosh.com and downloaded it from there and re-uploaded it to YouTube. I know that that happened because I saw the video myself. 04:51, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Youtube probably doesn't care about other people uploading the pokemon theme video. Oh yeah.. for some strange reason, I didn't delete the pokemon video from my playlist. It shows how many views it had, 24,732,537. Please do not delete it, it isn't an estimated number. It is true. Snakecrack76 8:39, 21 August 2007

Grammar
Cleanup tags, such as the grammar tag that I added to this article today, are used to designate articles that would benefit from improvement. Please respect the contributions of other users as we work together to improve articles, and do not remove cleanup tags before anyone has a chance to work on the article. Maralia 03:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the mistake. I will make sure it never happens again. 24.107.66.62

Delete
Note: This article will not be deleted. The Delete section is simply for discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.151.174.208 (talk) 23:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

The article basically says that "Smosh" are two guys who post videos on YouTube. Like MILLIONS of other YouTube users. I propose the article for deletion because its subject is not notable. Devil Master 10:56, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * To note, they are also one of the biggest ones on YouTube currently and have been around longer than most of the current video posters. They also have a massive fanbase and others. Nocarsgo 18:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I say the Smosh article should be kept for reasons stated above, and because they are subscribed to by over 130,000 people on YouTube and because they have a contract with MTV or VH1 or somebody. ÇɧĭДfrĪĔпd12 03:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

this should be deleted, its ridiculous, there is nothing special about them

I'm sorry, but you don't have a contract with MTV/VH1 or whatever, so don't go telling us what's notable and what isn't. 81.145.241.67 15:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

They have a contract to do two videos a month or something like that. And for your information, oh great "I'm going to tell everyone what's wrong because I'm always right", they had a video on MTV's TRL. So they're obviously bigger than just YouTube. They also have their own actual website, They created video's and hosted Logitech's "How Not To" contest. It's obvious they're more than just a couple of guys on YouTube. You're obviously just jealous because you'll never be as loved as them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Most subscribed and most viewed (before being taken down) video is notable enough. More people watched that video than there were people that tuned in for Lost last week. JayKeaton 02:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

But are they original? Like that one video with them stamping those manila envelopes, did that have something to do with lick-less stamps? What did that have to do with American River College, anyway? Didn't they graduate? Is Smosh political or something, like nobody knows about it? What do they have to do with that ACT test thing?

Maybe Youtube is the right place for them. And did you notice their Smosh.com site? Is their page format new or was it always like that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.157.235 (talk) 07:48, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * No, there seems to be some kind of tie-in with that ACT test Black Chalks deletion thing. There is a Padilla family in the Sacramento area who has made its fortune from multiple bail bonds agencies; if the Smosh Padilla is from the same family, then the Smosh videos can be seen to be unoriginal, just recreations of bail bonds arrests.  If a different Padilla family, then no.  But the whole Smosh success is hinged on Black Chalks? What a sad commentary on California education.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.145.32 (talk) 11:23, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

If Smosh is deleted every other Youtuber page (including Youtube Celebrity main page) should be deleted! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.47.134.10 (talk) 13:09, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Guy in background
Does anybody know anything about the guy who is almost always in the background of a shoot? After the camera switches and goes back to the original camera, the guy is gone. Examples: Reunited? and Assassins. In Reunited? the guy is standing across the street when Teabag pulls his gun out and in Assassins he is sitting on a fire hydrant in the escape scene. Who is this guy?? Guus Hoekman 08:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I believe that's the man whose sister started Black Chalks at American River College. I may be wrong.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.153.52 (talk) 15:36, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

He's a friend of Anthony and Ians and a founding member of Smosh.

Check out their video called "that damn neighbor" he is the damn neighbor, people are asking questions like this on youtube alot and I keep having to answer them.


 * The neighbour who doesn't move on-camera, see videos "That Damn Neighbour" and "That damn Yard sale"

Link to a review site
Hi,

yesterday I deleted an external link from this article's page. It was a link to the page http://tilzy.tv/. Specifically the tilzy-page on this article's topic. I came to the idea of deleting those links as such a link was also added to Ze Frank's wikipedia page, and I expected that there wouldn't be much new information on such an external site, as Ze Frank's show ended more than half a year ago.

I got a mail now by one of the founders of tilzy.tv. He explained to me relatively convincingly that he didn't post the link, and that he thinks of his site as adding extra information.

Whether or not we re-add this link should probably be based on External_links.

I am actually not sure whether tilzy.tv is a ''Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons.''

Does someone else know this site?

My main concern was, that there should be several sites that aggregate links to vlogs. Even several sites that aggregate links and add write a small review about them. So I wasn't sure whether tilzy.tv is in someway special or provided better information.

Could maybe someone post his/her opinion on that, so we can decided whether or not to include the links to tilzy.tv.

Thanks, -- JanCK (talk) 09:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

YouTube chronology list
I kind of don't understand why the chronology of Smosh's videos keep getting deleted. Their videos are from YouTube of course, and I believe that's the source. If we keep it, then it would provide the title, release date, and the "Shut Up!" intro (probably), among other things. Those users who still delete that stuff, like Mikkalai, could be wrong... SchfiftyThree (talk) 00:27, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, just a second ago I was wondering why the Smosh page was so short and I scrolled down and saw there was no chronology list and that's one of the major things people will look at. We need to fix this! 76.185.52.212 (talk) 18:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Just because he thinks it shouldn't be there doesn't mean it should be deleted all together. Arogi Ho (talk) 20:33, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The bad news for me is that this page is now fully protected, and can only be edited by administrators. Mikkalai is an admin, and because of the page protection, he can probably decide whether it can be on there or not. I'm not an administrator, but I wish to be one someday, so I can edit fully-protected pages and block bad users. Maybe I'll discuss this with the person who keeps reverting it. SchfiftyThree (talk) 23:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I think ther should be a chronology list. Having a cronology list for smosh is like having a discography for a band.

What happened?
The chronology doesn't really need to be deleted - it could quite easily be sourced with the actual videos.SouperAwesome (talk) 03:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Just as we don't list huge lists of articles published by professors and journalists, some of which have 100, 200, 400, ..., publications, there is no reason to list all 2-4 minute videos, unless they have been discussed by someone somewhere. This follows general wikipedia rules of "common sense" and "notability". But I will not object to this list, if it will be supplied with external links and all notes of kind "First video to have extra cast" or "Longest video", etc., must be with references as well. Please create a draft of such table here (not necessarily complete), after that I will unprotect the article, you yourself will copy it there (so that your glory will be in article's history), and hopefully all subsequent fans of Smosh will follow the established pattern in the list. `'Míkka>t 02:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * P.S. What the heck is the ' "Shut up!" Intro' thingy. If it is something of note, please provide an explanation (of course, with a reference), otherwise it has no place in the table. `'Míkka>t 02:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * If you think all the tables were fancruft, then isn't Lonelygirl15 like the biggest piece of fancruft that exists at the moment? Because Smosh is WAY more known and popular than Lonelygirl15. Also, check the Geriatric1927 article. Arogi Ho (talk) 14:33, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

um its at the start of like every video its when thers a funny noise or quote that relares to the video and then either anthony or ian yells "shut up!" they change throughout so they should probably stay i dont understand why the page has been protected and all the chronology deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.15.19 (talk) 04:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed, that is no way for admin to act, I'm pretty sure fascism is not part of Wikipedia's policies. For Mikalai, I suggest to reconsider your actions and reverting the article back to the state where the info has not yet been deleted. There was bunch of referenced parts that got deleted by your rash actions. Also you are using admin priviledges to force your own opinion that has no wide support. --Sapeli (talk) 18:08, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Can anyone inform another admin to fix this? Arogi Ho (talk) 20:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * There's nothing to fix. Mikalai did the right thing. If you feel another article has similar problems, put an appropriate notice on that article. "There's a lot of worse junk on Wikipedia!" is never a justification for having bad article content. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  16:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I hav to disagree.... Wikipedia is an informational site... All the admins did is delete info... and thats unfair to Smosh because they are a bigger and more popular Youtube Channel than TWK or Chris Crocker (who mite i say has a giant wiki page compared to Smosh) and if u just say "If u think the other channels have the same (nonexsistant)problems as Smosh tell the admins to delete there info too to be fair," Thats just deleting creditable info. Wikipedia is meant for info... so why would u delete almost a whole (creditable) page and then lock it so it cant be fixed! This page had no problems it just makes Wikipedia look bad to Smosh Fans! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.47.134.10 (talk) 13:06, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

At least add a Trivia section or something. Chris Crocker doesn't deserve his own page anyway.

Let's remove Mikkalai's so called "fancruft" from other pages as well then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arogi Ho (talk • contribs) 11:44, 22 February 2008 (UTC) The Chronology may have been unneccessary, but what about the pokemon video being taken down, and the the later comment on the "SHUT UP!!!" intro saying "SHUT UP- THAT SONG's COPYRIGHTED". The shut up theme is a notable feature on all of there videos and therefore it is information that should be included in all their articles. There was lots of valid information in the parts of the articles deleted. Trivia_sections says "If information is otherwise suitable, it is better that it be poorly presented than not presented at all.". This was not a trivia section but the idea still applies to it- do not delete valid information because of poor presenation- do all you can to improve the presentation and sift through unwanted information. Smosh are probably the most famous people on the internet and warrant more than 7 lines. The current state of the article is pathetic. There are no sections, just short sentences that are basically just trivia but instead of bullets put into a paragraph in individual sentences. Rever the article, and if you don't like the current state of it-  YOU  make on in your userspace and then upload it when it is fit for wikipedia. Because this isn't. WP:IDONTCARE - Just because you aren't interested in the subject matter- doesn't mean it is worthless --Veggieburgerfish (talk) 12:24, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I am ambivalent regarding the complete deletion of the chronology table, but come on everyone, look at what that table used to say in December: "First video to have a chance of death" etc. If we can make a clean, Wikipedia-appropriate chronology without fancruft such as "Shut Up! intro" and the like, then I am all for it. ~ Hyuugamoto (talk) 23:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

How do we go about getting this article unprotected? There really is no reason for it to be protected as it wasn't ever vandalised. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_is_not_paper says:

"There is no reason why there shouldn't be a page for every Simpsons character, and even a table listing every episode, all neatly cross-linked and introduced by a shorter central page. Every episode name in the list could link to a separate page for each of those episodes, with links to reviews and trivia. Each of the 100+ poker games can have its own page with rules, history, and strategy. Jimbo Wales has agreed: Hard disks are cheap."

If you actually try buying something on the Buy Our Stuff section of the Smosh website, it will say the item is unavailable; and U.S. civil lawsuits aren't the same as criminal/juvenile cases. I don't want to make this too complicated but they still could have been sued back when they were 18 or whatver, but it would be suing their guardians. They would have probably sued Youtube for hosting the video anyway. Waffle77 (talk) 00:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

A note needs to made in the article again About the "SHUT UP!!!" Intro to each video. I haven't added it to the trivia section because I'm not sure if that would be appropriate. It really is a notable feature of their videos, so I think it may even warrant its own section. Any comments? Wikipedia veterans and/or admin would be welcomed. --Veggieburgerfish (talk) 20:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Reception section?

Chronolgy
So from reading the results of discussion, the general consensus is that a chronolgy section is good, as long as it is of a good standard, and using the propper template, sounds good, but I for one have no idea how to do that.

The Spectre of Deletion
I can see that this article was proposed for deletion two years ago, and the result was to keep it. However, after two years, I can see that the article really hasn't come very far, constituting all of two paragraphs of non-information. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a directory of You Tube content. If it's so important that we keep this article, I suggest that the propontents of this article actually contribute content to this article, lest it face deletion yet again. Brash (talk) 17:38, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I've nomed this for deletion, it desperately needs reliable independent sources to establish notability.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon 18:01, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Some of the articles from the afd should be added to this article as it proves notability with reliable sources.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon 20:56, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Longer article needed

Unsatisfied with article
This article used to be much more informative when it included a chart listing their videos and any notes about them. I believe it also had a history section. I would like to see these return. Maybe there could be an article for List of Smosh Episodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.77.11.53 (talk) 03:48, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * a listing of there episodes is not needed Wikipedia is not a blog to show everything that people had done.  Cheers  Kyle1278 04:10, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

It's obvious that people are coming to this article not only to gain background information on Smosh, but to also read up on a history of episodes. I would like to see a list of episodes myself. There is nothing wrong with this, and I don't think of it as being blog-like information. It is no different than a discography or a list of tv episodes for a popular TV show.

Smosh is far older
This is clear evidence that Smosh was around since at least 2003. I noticed this a long time ago, but it wasn't until I found this that I knew that it was the same Smosh. &mdash; Coasterge ekperson 04 ' s talk @Jul/09/09 17:25

Smosh Is number 5

Edit request on 1 January 2012
The YouTube channel "AnthonyPadilla" has just uploaded a new video on December 31, 2011. The months active should change from "November 2006 to February 2011" to "November 2006 to December 2011", or it should say there are three active accounts.

Characters
I think we should add a characters subject to the page. Smosh has several different characters that make occasional appearances on the show. Examples include: Anthony, Ian, Billy, Billy's dad, Billy's mom, Sgt. Anous, etc. I feel this would add more substance and possibly help remove the "stub" label from this article.

Think it would make the page look tidier if there was a section on the page which had a brief synopsis of each channel, and would avoid the huge paragraph at the top of the page (while also giving the deserved nod to the rest of the Smosh team including the Smosh Games crew, Mari, El Smosh characters and additional recurring characters in Smosh videos.

I thought this might be some nice info to add to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SeeminglySubdued (talk • contribs) 23:04, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Cinedigm Deal
In November 2012, Alloy Digital partnered with the company Cinedigm to create Smosh content that will eventually be released in movie theaters (http://www.tubefilter.com/2012/11/02/smosh-alloy-digital-cinedigm). Should this be mentioned? Reb525 (talk) 23:39, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * What's Tubefilter? How is it a reliable source? 117Avenue (talk) 05:53, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, it's linked to several times on the Alloy Digital website, which is one of the main companies involved, but I'm guessing that probably doesn't count for anything here. There is an article about the Alloy/Cinedigm/Smosh deal published directly on the website of Cinedigm, which is the other company involved in the deal (http://investor.cinedigm.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=717505), so that's coming directly from one of the companies involved. I'm still not sure if that's considered "reliable," though; I couldn't find anything about that kind of scenario on the Identifying Reliable Sources page. (Sorry, I'm really new here!) Reb525 (talk) 17:36, 26 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Tubefilter is an established source for reporting on online video, but if the article is just puffery based on press releases, the "deal" may not merit a mention. Think of it like a future movie, unless there's proof its really happening, it might be too soon.--Milowent • hasspoken  19:24, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Kalel
I think that in the channel's section there should be some mentioning of Kalel's (Anthony's girlfriend's) channel WonderlandWardrobe, because her rewind blogs often feature Anthony and sometimes even Ian, for example in rewind blog #3 (Video), she goes to the youtube HQ in LA with Ian and Anthony and films some behind the scenes of Rewind Youtube Style 2012. 212.111.145.20 (talk) 07:53, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

About the vlog shared by Kalel and Anthony: It is said the vlogs are daily, but they are only in daily spurts, and many times not daily at all. It's my opinion that the "daily" be changed to another word or deleted altogether because it is not true. 76.221.158.199 (talk) 07:56, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

This is an encyclopedia, it explains things both in a historical, and present, context. The channel was once used for vlogs with Anthony, it should be mentioned, as well as other work the duo have done in the past. Also, just because neither Ian or Anthony have appeared in the videos uploaded to that channel recently, does not mean Kalel no longer interacts with Smosh. "Shut Up! Cartoons" recently released a video, promoting the fact that Kalel voiced a character. 117Avenue (talk) 05:07, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello, my request is that in the section in which is says: "Over the course of the next few years, Smosh began to diversify. They started making short YouTube skits, such as their annual video series Food Battle[16] and That Damn Neighbor." be changed to: "Over the course of the next few years, Smosh began to diversify. They started making short YouTube skits, such as their annual video series Food Battle[16], in which Ian and Anthony compare foods at doing every day tasks. Another seires Smosh did was, the That Damn Neighbor series, where a strange appearing neighbor causes havoc for two county neighbors."

Hi. I am requesting two things. 1. Part Timers be removed from their schedule. Part Timers a few weeks ago or so. It's not longer being done. 2. The part where it says Smosh French's schedule varies should be updated. Their schedule is clearly mention in the link below. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFrenchSmosh/about Thanks.

DeWarioFreak (talk) 06:33, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * According to their about page, the main videos are uploaded every Sunday, and EBEs are uploaded every other Friday. But looking at the video release days in June, the main videos were released on Sunday the 5th, Monday the 13th, Monday the 20th, Wednesday the 29th, and none the week of May 29, and EBEs were released Friday May 20, Friday June 3, Saturday June 18, and Saturday July 2. I think that isn't a regular schedule like the other channels. 117Avenue (talk) 01:25, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Change treatment of Smosh as a "duo"
This article still describes Smosh as a duo, but several new members have joined in the last year or two; there hasn't been a video featuring only Ian and Anthony for a long time. "Duo" is no longer accurate. Someone please get on this.  Deus vult!  Crusadestudent (talk) 20:19, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you think the article should be about the two founders, the cast, the YouTube channel, or the production company? There are several definitions of Smosh. 117Avenue (talk) 03:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It's obviously not just the channel, they've got several that are all clearly part of "Smosh", and this article would be back to stub territory if all that were deleted. I think it should be about the "comedy group" instead of the (former) "comedy duo"; that would allow for the article to reflect that members have come and (potentially) gone over time, like with the Journey (band) page (and probably many others). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crusadestudent (talk • contribs) 07:38, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I think in order to avoid turning the article into original research, on what Smosh is, we should defer to sources discussing it. From what I've seen, news articles discussing Smosh have focused on the two, and saying they run a company. Have you seen sources that refer to the larger group as Smosh? I know that the article, as it is currently written, can not handle explaining a member leaving. 117Avenue (talk) 02:04, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * No, I haven't seen other sources refer to the whole group, but I haven't seen any sources besides themselves talk about them at all. What I have seen is in several of their recent "fan prank" videos, when "Smosh" shows up, it's not just the original duo but the whole group.  idk how much of a "source" that really is, but it's something.  I'll be on the lookout for reliable sources on this.  Deus vult!   Crusadestudent (talk) 11:22, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I see both the duo and the squad calling the squad "Smosh squad" in both video titles and while talking. 117Avenue (talk) 04:26, 1 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree; Smosh is no longer a duo, no matter how you look at it. Sure, they’re the founders, but this article says that Smosh is a duo which consists of Anthony and Ian and not that Smosh consists of many more persons than just Anthony and Ian. ―PapíDimmi (talk) 03:59, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * How do you look at it? I only see news articles referring to the two when saying "Smosh", and videos calling all the other members "the Smosh Squad", or "the Smosh Games crew". 117Avenue (talk) 03:04, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

A New Channel and a New Article?
I was wondering, if in the list of channels, we could add "Smosh Speed Up," because along with the regular Smosh, it has a following. It has over 28 thousand subscribers. It IS fan run, but so is Smosh France.

My other question was, I while ago I wished to add details to a Smosh series, but was told it would be better saved for an article about Smosh's videos. Can we make an article on a list about Smosh's videos?

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeWarioFreak (talk • contribs) 17:51, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes Smosh France is a fan run channel, but it is officially part of the production company, and it has been promoted as a canonical part. A list of Smosh videos would be trivial, and not encyclopedic, in the past the list has been deleted when it was far shorter. 117Avenue (talk) 04:32, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Anthony Padilla's Name
It is listed on this site that his name is "Daniel Anthony Padilla" even though it is not. He has requested himself that you please take out the Daniel part. Lol0l (talk) 00:00, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Take out the Daniel in "Daniel Anthony Padilla" Meg.simp02 (talk) 13:50, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Padilla's name is properly referenced, and I believe it is a valuable piece of information for an encyclopedia, as all bio articles start with the person's birth name. You can find more on the policy at WP:BLP, and if you would like another party to review this article start a discussion at Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. Thanks, 117Avenue (talk) 02:35, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The reference for Padilla's name only states his legal name at birth, we don't know what his legal name is now. You found my revision to imply that he had changed his name, and I find your revision to imply that we have a reference for his current legal name, and that he commonly goes by 'Daniel'. Is there a way we can come to a compromise? 117Avenue (talk) 02:16, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Birth names are part of one's identity unless something comes along later in life specifically indicating otherwise. Per MOS:BIRTHNAME, one's birth name is to be included within opening sentence even if not what he or she commonly goes by. Snuggums (talk</b> / <b style="color:#454545">edits</b>) 03:02, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * No, it says the subject's full name should be given in the lead sentence, not birth name. Also, your revision does not indicate that he commonly goes by Anthony, are you going to change this? 117Avenue (talk) 04:03, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Minor edits
Hi. I'm requesting two things be changed on this article.

The first would be in the part where it says Channels, then Smosh, it needs to be changed from "starring Noah Grossman, Ian Hecox, Keith Leak II, Courtney Miller, Anthony Padilla, Olivia Sui, and Shayne Topp." to "starring Anthony Padilla, Ian Hecox, Courtney Miller, Olivia Sui, Keith Leak, Shayne Topp and Noah Grossman (as well as a few other actors, including Ryan Todd and Lee Eisenhower)."

I request these edits, because this is the official order Smosh has written when they appear in the videos. They can be seen below in the description. It never seems to change, and Ian and Anthony should listened in front of the Smosh Squad. Plus Ryan Todd and Lee Eisenhower appear from time to time (including this year).

My second recommendation is that it says below in the same section, "Grossman,[47] Miller,[48] Sui,[49] and Topp[50] also have their own channels, which are not considered part of the Smosh roster."

Keith is not included here, even though he has his own channel. He must be added.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeWarioFreak (talk • contribs) 21:05, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The order never seems to change because they have a template that they use every time. I don't see how that makes it an "official order". They are all actors, and they all act in these videos, so I don't understand why "Ian and Anthony should be listened in front of the Smosh Squad", I think alphabetical is a fair way to list actors. Yes Keith has a channel, but he has not posted anything, so what would we be directing readers to? 117Avenue (talk) 03:18, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
