Youtube video Climate Town, other article

I put back the paragraph about the Youtube video by Rollie Williams on his Climate Town channel. The paragraph I wrote was first removed by an IPv6 user without explanation, reinstated by WhiteTailedEagle only to be vandalized twice by IPS and finally to removed again by Zefr who wrote unreliable - no Youtube, WP:RSPYT.

To quote from WP:RSPYT: "Most videos on YouTube are anonymous, self-published, and unverifiable, and should not be used as a reference. Content uploaded from a verified official account, such as that of a news organization, may be treated as originating from the uploader and therefore inheriting their level of reliability." and from the 2020 discussion a remark by Levivich that others in that discussion quoted: It's a medium not a publisher or author. Nota bene: Since that discussion the number of links to Youtube content grew from 170tsd to 271tsd.

I fully understand that Youtube videos as a source demand extra scrutiny, but this is a video "originated from the uploader" who is also a verified official account. I see the video's creator to classify as science educators (Williams does have degrees in climate science & policy and biochemistry) and/or journalists who do their research, which should be well within the scope of "such as that of a news organization". If there's doubts about the quality of the video, hidden in it's description is a link to the creator's website with a long list of sources used for the video to allow viewers their own research for verification.

There's also a fact check article in Newsweek that I will add to the paragraph. -- TomK32 (talk) 15:24, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Williams-Climate Town Youtube video is only one person's opinion (and apparently yours), and is associated with extensive advertising. It has no place in Wikipedia, WP:RSPYT. It's not a defense of the writing for the Landman Norris character, but that discourse on windmills is the "art" of writing in the show, and is adequately criticized by the Newsweek article, which meets WP:RS.

Reception of female characters

There's quite a bit of content out there concerning the female characters on this program being presented as shallow stereotypes. I'll start on that soon, but any help is appreciated. —Confession0791 ^talk 04:34, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
