This page was originally okay: Revision 91557803. Somebody came along and slapped the LGPedia page on here instead. Can't we just go back to the original, stub-length version. Also, if copyright is an issue: Greg Goodfried, Miles Beckett and Mesh Flinders are also direct copies of LGPedia pages. --JayHenry 15:57, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The LGPedia has copyright protection? Um, I probably contributed to part of the Yousef page on LGpedia, as well as other pages there. Am I entitled to royalties because someone copied it here? NO. If I am, please send money now. --Milowent 18:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New photo

Today, I uploaded the new photo of Yousef in 2017, with the express permission of Yousef to upload under the appropriate Creative Commons license. This is a screenshot from his "Washed Up YouTube Star" performance on 21 May 2017. Apparently the performance will be publicly released in 2018.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 12:51, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Its a bit dark, can you brighten it? thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 13:46, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I cropped it to show the face, but that doesn't completely help. I think under the license people are allowed to make a derivative lighter copy, hopefully someone with better skills than i might attempt it?--Milowent • ^hasspoken 18:16, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues and classification

The "Post-YouTube career" has the subject currently working on Out of the Blue. This content was positioned after a source but that source is IMDb which is also listed in the External links. A second use of IMDb as a reference is also found. Note: the subject only has a bit-part listed as Local Guy #2

A problem is that the site is generally considered unreliable through the WikiProject Film/Resources, and include:

Almost never, with exceptions for writing credits (marked with "WGA"), that are supplied directly by the Writers Guild of America and links on a subject about that subject.

Links "... should not normally be duplicated in an external links section".

Repeated at WP:IMDB-EL.

The site is also listed at the information page: Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources (IMDB), which has been fairly stable with 420 editors even though it contains; "It may reflect varying levels of consensus and vetting"

Sourcing issues can result in maintenance tags that can result in a reassessment to C-class pending issue resolution. -- Otr500 (talk)
