There is also a new channel, Vsauce 3, about PC and web games. It was mentioned in Vsauce 2 channel, and Michael has also appered in some of them. It is presented by a guy named Juey (though i don't know his last name, so i can't contribute to the article much).

Videos, Subscribers, Views
Hi, I'm new to this, but is there no way the values for the number of views, videos and subscribers (as well as any other figures like them) can be updated automatically from the YouTube website? Purpleshankar (talk) 10:36, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

List of Vsauce videos
Should there be a list of all episodes? Many are covered by media. Wumbolo (talk) 10:45, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

DONG or D.O.N.G?
The title occurs both ways on their channel. Which should we go with? I made it DONG consistently. Pursuedbybaer (talk) 16:26, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

I agree with you. Read MOS:POINTS. Cheers,  Ꞷ  umbolo   16:52, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Pursuedbybaer (talk) 17:00, 21 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I noticed that BOAT and IMG! aren't italicized but other segments are. Also, punctuation around segments should be removed. Cheers,  Ꞷ  umbolo   17:03, 21 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Excellent. Will do. Pursuedbybaer (talk) 17:15, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

One more copy edit pass
I will make one more copy edit pass later today to check consistency in italics and lack of italics and quotation marks on titles, as this entry is pretty complicated. Other than that, I think I've done a complete copy edit. Pursuedbybaer (talk) 17:01, 21 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Whew. I believe I've consistently styled titles. If not, don't hesitate to let me know. This one is really complicated. Pursuedbybaer (talk) 18:39, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Pooplicker888 and Roper and Lieber's personal channels
These channels are not a part of the Vsauce network/brand and thus, I believe the section 'others' should be removed. BishopsHouseofHorrors (talk) 06:59, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I moved the section; I wonder if that's alright. w umbolo   ^^^  09:42, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that fits well enough. BishopsHouseofHorrors (talk) 18:35, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Issue regarding the article page and more specifically D!NG
I will first talk about D!NG, and the major issue with it being part of the Vsauce article. In order for D!NG to be included in this article or on any page in Wikipedia, it must have a reliable source citing the contents that is being discussed about D!NG. A link to YouTube channel summery or description page, is not considered a reliable source (in the way that it is being used due to reasons relating to the fact that the majority of the Wikipedia article is relying on WP:UGS or WP:SELFPUB), this is because that content is considered WP:UGS. The other article that is being cited from the cite, Jewish Link of New Jersey, is also unreliable source due to the same reason. There is a link on the top of the page to submit articles, thus making it fall under WP:UGS. As for the Mammoth Gamers citation, I asked WP:RSN about it, and it has come up as a non-reliable source. . For this reason, I went to look and see if I can find any reliable sources for the YouTube channel DONG/D!ng. Unfortunately, I could only find blogspot WP:UGS, and Social Media pages of VSauce talking about DONG or D!NG WP:SELFPUB(the clause to allow it fails (at requirement #5) as the section in theory would only be relying on the Social Media which is not allowed; requirement of at least one or more sources that are not UGS or SELFPUB).

As for those that want to refute this claim over failing requirement #5, the next sub-section will explain why it fails requirement #5. As for the reliability of the Jewish Link of New Jersey, according to, it passes requirement points #3 and #4 definitely. Unsure about it passing #2. But it definitely does not pass requirements #1 and #5. The reason why I claim that it fails #1 and #5, is due to the fact that on the About US page of the website, it states that "the paper is a forum and voice for the unique..., diverse, ... counties of ...." It does not say on that page, or on another part of the website about anything relating to, "It has a professional structure in place for deciding whether to publish something, such as editorial oversight or peer review processes."

Vsause Article issues being persistent
The Vsauce article is currently NOT endangered. There is currently no reason why it should be deleted. However the content in regards to its sub-sections is problematic such that, a lot of citations are just Vsauce videos, or citations to other WP:UGS websites. There are however reliable source websites and even reliable source news websites that have been cited in the article. Due to these multiple issues, it can be inferred that the article itself has a citation issue. I hope that somehow this issue will get fixed, as this issue has been ongoing for this article for a many months or even more than a year by now.
