In fact, in the entire video, he does not mention RiceGum by name once. iDubbbz proceeded to analyze and criticize him in a format inspired by the seven deadly sins.

BTW i'm not purposly trying to destroy the idubbbz wikipage.

I'm just fixing some information that might be wrong, Ian himself states that his birthday is "July 27" and I'm trying to change it back to that from "October 1" which could be another Ian entirely. MrCboY1997 (talk) 21:57, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies to any edits I messed up. MrCboY1997 (talk) 21:58, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request via Twitter

I have been contacted on Twitter by somebody who says that their IP address is blocked and would like to request an edit. Obviously, I'm not going to make an edit in response to an off-wiki contact but the request seems plausible so I agreed to post it here for consideration:

'You edit wikipedia right? Edit this. In one sentence of this article it says "idubbbz apologized for using racial and homophobic slurs" Instead of saying that it should say "racial and anti-LGBTQ slurs" because idubbbz apologized to transgender people too.'(Original tweet)

Please do with this whatever you think best. --DanielRigal (talk) 02:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@DanielRigal:, This was a blocked editor trying to get someone to edit on their behalf. They have now apparently turned to sock puppetry, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/BarneyTheFarmy MrOllie (talk) 19:20, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 8 May 2025: BLP issues in the last part of the "Career" section

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at IDubbbz. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please remove the following last paragraph of the Content Cop section until better sourcing is supplied: In April 2025, iDubbbz premiered the first new Content Cop episode since 2017, covering h3h3Productions. The episode caused significant controversy and criticism against iDubbbz, which led him to completely step out of the upcoming Creator Clash event.

These statements, as they're currently sourced, seem to me like a straightforward breach of WP:BLP (specifically with regards to WP:DUE and low-quality sourcing). The paragraph is sourced to two things:

1. an Express Tribune opinion;
2. a Dexerto article.

The first one has no authorship associated with it, and can be found within a publication that seems to allow anyone to pay for one's "articles" in it. But even disregarding this, the source being an opinion article makes it a primary source. According to WP:BLPPRIMARY: Exercise extreme caution in using primary sources. [...] Where primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source, subject to the restrictions of this policy, no original research, and the other sourcing policies.

The second one, on the other hand, and as stated on the reliable sources noticeboard, is a publication that has no consensus on reliability and where the following is explicitly laid out (emphasis mine): Editors agree that it is a tabloid publication that rarely engages in serious journalism; while it may be used as a source on a case-by-case basis (with some editors arguing for the reliability of its esports coverage), it is usually better to find an alternative source, and it is rarely suitable for use on BLPs or to establish notability.

This sourcing seems poor, or outright insufficient, given the associated claims (particularly the second sentence); this is unacceptable for a BLP. I would remove this section myself, but a cursory look at the contents of the articles seems to show this is related to WP:PIA; thus, following WP:ARBECR, I am making this edit request. On that note, I apologize if the template is wrong; I wasn't sure what to use given this page isn't actually extended-confirmed-protected, but this particular edit seems to fall under the ECP topic area.
