'Mini Ladd' Grammar
Okay so in the 'history' subsection of 'YouTube career', the spelling is 'Mini Ladd', but in 'Other Projects' it's put as 'MiniLadd' without the space. Which of these conforms to the MOS and should be used? MM ('"HURRRR?'')  (Hmmmmm.) 14:20, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * "Mini Ladd" is now used across the page Idiosincrático (talk) 18:08, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Quote Edits
Obviously, Evan has been playing more games than Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto, but the quote that contained these two games kept getting edited with games not listed in the original quote.

Unfortunately, the page is currently locked to prevent any further vandalism, but the original quote is now marred by content not in the original quote.

To add extra games that Evan plays, they MUST be added outside the quote. MDGLee (talk) 05:21, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I am the operations manager for Vanoss Gaming, the company to which this Wikipedia article refers to. Evan Fong is the founder and CEO, but this wikipedia page in current form conflates information about the company with personal information about Evan Fong as an entertainment personality. We believe that there should be a clear differentiation between the two (as is customary between any notable company and its CEO), and with that in mind have the following change requests to make to the Vanoss Gaming page.

1.) ORIGINAL Evan Fong (born 31 May 1992), better known through his YouTube videos as VanossGaming (or simply Vanoss), is a Canadian video game commentator and internet personality. He produces content on YouTube centered on playing popular video games with other YouTube collaborators. As of June 2018, Fong's channel has over 9 billion video views and 23 million subscribers on YouTube,[1] making it the 25th most subscribed channel on YouTube.[2]

1.) CHANGE REQUEST Vanoss Gaming is an entertainment company producing various content on YouTube including original animations, video game commentary with other YouTube collaborators, and live-action shorts. As of June 2018, the Vanoss Gaming channel has over 9 billion video views and 23 million subscribers on YouTube,[1] making it the 25th most subscribed channel on YouTube.[2]

2.) ORIGINAL History Fong created the VanossGaming channel on YouTube on September 15, 2011. The name "Vanoss" comes from VANOS, a variable valve timing system produced by German automobile company BMW; Fong's father used the alias "vanoss62" on the PlayStation 3, which his son later adopted for his own.

Fong has been known to do work with other popular YouTubers such as H2O Delirious, I Am Wildcat, Adam "SeaNanners" Montoya and Tom "Syndicate" Cassell. Fong first appeared on camera in July 2013, in a video celebrating one million subscribers.

In January 2015, Fong began to receive mainstream media attention as he approached 11 million subscribers and a ranking within the top 25 most subscribed channels on YouTube, with commentators identifying him as a central figure in the growing video game commentary subculture.[3] Speaking at the time, he suggested that his success could be credited to the fact that "Viewers really like the authentic type of content from regular people just playing games because they can relate to that".[3] In March 2015 he appeared on his first gaming convention panel, the "YouTube Gaming Evolution" panel at PAX East in Boston, Massachusetts, alongside collaborators I Am Wildcat, Lui Calibre, and Mini Ladd.

On April 30, 2015, Fong announced on Twitter that he had signed with Jetpak, a multi-channel network founded by Adam "SeaNanners" Montoya and Tom "Syndicate" Cassell.

On November 26, 2015, Fong announced that he was releasing a new logo for the VanossGaming brand. He released the logo later that day along with limited edition merchandise released the day after. The logo was a white minimalistic design of an owl on a black background. There is also a diagonal cut through the design, creating a black letter "V". The owl design represented the owl mask on Fong's character model in Grand Theft Auto Online.

2.) CHANGE REQUEST The Vanoss Gaming channel was created by Evan Fong on September 15, 2011. Fong also voices the central character of Vanoss, an owl with a human body, used throughout the channel’s content. Vanoss Gaming has been known to collaborate with other popular YouTubers such as H2O Delirious, I Am Wildcat, Adam "SeaNanners" Montoya and Tom "Syndicate" Cassell. In January 2015, Vanoss Gaming began to receive mainstream media attention as the channel approached 11 million subscribers and a ranking within the top 25 most subscribed channels on YouTube, with commentators identifying Vanoss as a central figure in the growing video game commentary subculture.[3] Speaking at the time, Fong suggested that its success could be credited to the fact that "Viewers really like the authentic type of content from regular people just playing games because they can relate to that".[3]  On April 30, 2015, Vanoss Gaming joined Jetpak, a multi-channel network founded by Adam "SeaNanners" Montoya and Tom "Syndicate" Cassell.

The logo was a white minimalistic design of an owl on a black background. There is also a diagonal cut through the design, creating a black letter "V".

3.) ORIGINAL Other projects On July 25, 2015, Fong announced that he had been working on a game called Dead Realm for "the last six or seven months" as a creative director, alongside other YouTube collaborators such as Daithi De Nogla, Terroriser, MiniLadd, and TheSyndicateProject. It was released via Steam as an early release on July 30, 2015.[5]

3.) CHANGE REQUEST On July 25, 2015, Vanoss Gaming announced a collaboration on a game called Dead Realm, alongside other YouTube collaborators such as Daithi De Nogla, Terroriser, MiniLadd, and TheSyndicateProject. It was released via Steam as an early release on July 30, 2015.[5]

4.) ORIGINAL On August 25, 2017, Fong released a remix of "U-Rite" by hip-hop group They under the name Rynx. Fong released his debut single "Want You" featuring Miranda Glory on December 12, 2017. On April 18, 2018, Fong released the official music video for "Want You". On June 27, he released the music video for his second single "I'm Alright" featuring Jimi Ono. On August 15th, he released a remix of the Alison Wonderland song, “Cry.”

4.) CHANGE REQUEST - please delete this as Rynx is completely separate entity that has nothing to do with Vanoss Gaming.

5.) ORIGINAL Personal life Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Fong is of Asian descent, his mother being Korean, and father Chinese. Fong graduated from Richmond Hill High School. Fong claims that he was not introduced to video games at a young age, but that he played games "here and there" which included children's adventure and puzzle titles such as Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam. After attending high school, Fong studied economics in college, but later dropped out in his second year to focus on his YouTube channel as a full-time commitment.[3] Fong claims that his parents were initially concerned that he was neglecting his studies in favor of producing content for his YouTube channel, admitting that "Even though there's a lot of potential for somebody starting a YouTube channel it's obviously not a guaranteed path."[3] Outside of his YouTube career, Fong continues to play ice hockey recreationally, and also plays the guitar as another hobby. Along with that he is known for owning the most massive pair of balls in history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SlidPitGaming (talk • contribs) 21:10, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

5.) CHANGE REQUEST. Please delete as this is not relevant to Vanoss Gaming as a company. This information could go on a seperate Evan Fong, entertainment personality, entry. Garethupton (talk) 00:26, 1 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for disclosing your conflict of interest. I've moved your request over to the COI edit request queue to get editors with that expertise looking at this request. &#8209;&#8209; El Hef  ( Meep? ) 19:14, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Your edit request could not be reviewed because it is unclear which references are connected to which claim statements in the text of your proposal. When proposing edit requests, it is important to highlight in the text which specific sources are doing the referencing for each claim. The point of an inline citation is to allow the reviewer and readers to check that the material is sourced; that point is lost if the citation's note number is not clearly placed and references are not clearly provided. Note the example below:

  The sun is pretty big, but the moon is not so big. The sun is also quite hot.

References

None provided.

The example above is identical in form to your request. No references have been provided, and the claim statements themselves do not indicate which references apply where (none were provided). These links between claims and their source references must be made clearly, as shown in the next example below:

✅  The sun is pretty big,[1] but the moon is not so big.[2] The sun is also quite hot.[3]

References

In the example above, the links between the provided references and their claim statements are perfectly clear. Kindly reformulate your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience.
