Hello, I'm SamX. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on DougDoug, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! — SamX &#91;talk · contribs&#93; 23:59, 23 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello! I understand why this got removed. Is there any way I can add it again while adding a source? 174.130.19.238 (talk) 03:25, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Help:Referencing for beginners is a good tutorial on how to properly cite sources in an article. If you can find a reliable source that mentions the information you'd like to add, you're more than welcome to do so. For the purposes of this guideline, stream vods wouldn't be considered reliable; you'd have to find a mention of it in an independent source like IGN. If you can't find any mention of it in a reliable source, it's probably too much detail for an encyclopedia article. Thanks, — SamX &#91;talk · contribs&#93; 03:35, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry if it's annoying that I keep responding, but, I added something new and sourced his YouTube. I added his other channels and what he posts on them, but only sourced the main channel. That's because on his main channel, it lists what channels he owns. Is linking just the Main account okay? 174.130.19.238 (talk) 03:51, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries, I'm happy to answer questions. DougDoug's YouTube channel would be regarded as a primary, self-published source. As such, it could be used for uncontroversial statements like subscriber count and number of channels, but shouldn't be used to make any other claims about living people. The descriptions of alternative channels you added have been removed (not by me) because they're not sourced to reliable, independent sources and are likely too detailed for a biographical article. If you can find a reliable source that describes his other channels, then it'd be fine to add. I'd be happy to answer any other questions you have, but you'd likely receive more responses at the Teahouse, which is a forum designated for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and its policies and guidelines. — SamX &#91;talk · contribs&#93; 04:00, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
