Please change the sims 4 to 'The Sims 4 (you have to put the [[]]) to make the Sims 4 words shiny and people can click the blue text to go to The Sims 4 wikipedia page. Please also change the 'Also known as' part where it says 'Pokemon Dan daniel'. Change it to just simply, 'Dan' because people will get confused because he doesnt have the nickname 'Pokemon Dan Daniel'. Also change all the Middletons in the career page to DanTDM. If you know how, put a picture of him in 2015. Change 8 Million to 8,000,000 Subscribers to make it look better. it feels weird looking like 8 Million xD. Thanks!

You can add a picture on Wikimedia Commons, just follow the instructions when you click "Upload", and after that you can add it here in the article. But it must be a photo which is in the public domain, or a photo which you have taken yourself a give to the public domain. Copyright images are not allowed on Wikipedia.

Semi-protection reinstated

Sorry guys, but ever since the previous semi-protection expired two weeks ago, this article has been assaulted on a near daily basis. I have therefore decided to reinstate semi-protection for the upcoming six months.—♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 17:13, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Information about Daniel's wife, Jemma Middleton, is not given in the article, or information about his pets, 2 female pugs named Ellie and Darcee. Or statements about his wife having Chrohn's Disease. The info on Jemma is found from citation 5 on the article. The citations for the pugs are not on the page, but info can be found in both of Dan's current YouTube channels. KatieTDM (talk) 15:11, 3 March 2016 (UTC)KatieTDM

 Not done Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a fan-site - trivia such as the names of his pets is totally inappropriate.
Personal information about peoples families is also usually with-held unless it is particularly notable, extensively covered and relevant to the article. - Arjayay (talk) 15:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

 Partly done About the only thing I can add to the article so far is that there is an interview that confirms Jemma is his wife and that he got married in March 2013. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:52, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

I have noticed that the numbers on how much money he makes is false. According to socialblade he makes anywhere from $1.1M - $17.1M a year. if you would like to check for yourself the line is here: http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/thediamondminecart. Please change between $213,000 and $2.15 million to $1.1M - $17.1M. Gamingzann (talk) 22:26, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Hair dye and motto

Can somebody change his picture because he dyed his hair? And his motto is 'grow old but never grow up.' https://twitter.com/diamondminecart--Daisy134 (talk) 01:06, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't think there are any more appropriately licensed pictures of Dan available, other than the one already in place. Furthermore, I don't see the point of adding his motto, unless there is critical commentary about said motto in reliable sources.—♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 10:47, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. This isn't a catchphrase he always signs in and out with, and it should be mentioned in secondary sources independent of the subject. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:10, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Subscribers

Can someone update his subscriber amount? it's 10 million now. Daisy134 (talk) 20:22, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

BTW, I think his play button thingy should be updated, he got the diamond play button. And shouldn't the silver play button be added too?Daisy134 (talk) 14:17, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

 Not done I'm waiting until he gets the actual diamond play button award, like, posting an unboxing video or it appears on some local newspaper. See how the gold one was sourced. There's no source for the silver button. Can you provide one? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:29, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

blue peter

He was on the TV show Blue Peter. He said so in one of his videos. Daisy134 (talk) 16:21, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

It's a guest appearance on the show. [1] [2] Should it count towards his filmography or not really because it's a talk/variety show apperance? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:08, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

channel name

Now that I think of it, he changed his channel name to just 'DanTDM.' Daisy134 (talk) 21:25, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

The channel itself is still TheDiamondMinecart https://www.youtube.com/user/TheDiamondMinecart , since https://www.youtube.com/user/DanTDM does not exist. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:14, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Just wondering..

why isn't the awards section formatted like Stampy Cat's wikipedia page? Eh, maybe it's not nearly enough awards to do so. Daisy134 (talk) 04:50, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

It's because two of the awards are Guinness World Records so they don't fit the award show format. And the other two could fit in that, but there would only be two entries. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:32, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Subscriber count

Shouldn't the subscriber count be updated for February? Daisy134 (talk) 04:44, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

 Done I usually wait until the subscriber count goes up by 0.1 million. It's not a figure that needs to be updated every day. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:37, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

2010 Channel(s)

Middleton had a channel before he was even DanTDM, so, he was active since 2010. Here's a link to the 2010 channel; https://www.youtube.com/user/PokemanDanLv45 User talk:M briglia05 March 15, 2017 4:14 PM (EDT) —Preceding undated comment added 20:14, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

I added 2010 to the reference where he talks about Pokemondan, however, the infobox stays at 2012 because it is referring to his primary channel, the one that gets all the views and subs. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:50, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

By the way, it's Pokemandan, not pokemondan.. Daisy134 (talk) 22:07, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Whatever. It's spelled correctly in the article. Doesn't have to be for talk page purposes. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 06:18, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

2017 US tour

Shouldn't something be added about his 12-week tour in the US and something including Danielle Tabor. (the source would be I went there, but that's not a very reliable source.) Another source may be a video or the numerous ticket-selling websites.. Daisy134 (talk) 22:13, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Please find a news article about the tour, and then it can be added. Considering how his New York City tour got in the papers, this should be easy to find. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 06:19, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Daniel "Dan" Middleton

Why did you just erase the "Dan" part? User talk:MattWorks 18:10, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Per MOS:LEGALNAME, "If a person has a well-known common hypocorism, used in lieu of a given name,[2] it is not presented between quote marks following the last given name or initial, as for Tom Hopper which has just Thomas Edward Hopper." AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:46, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Name Source

If there a source for his name? I know the Dan part is obvious, but is there a primary source that his last name is Middleton? Something like a twitter post or interview. NOTE: On the cast list for Skylanders Acadamy, Middleton is there, and Daniel Wu is not DanTDM. I just dont know if a Netflix cast list is the best source. Skipper1931 (talk) 23:27, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes, it's already listed by plenty of secondary news articles like BBC, Guardian, Business Insider. He wouldn't even have a Wikipedia article if it weren't for such sources. If you want his primary you can look at his Draw My Life video. It's possible there's another Dan Middleton who voiced in Skylanders Academy, but that's more a specific case that would require more of those secondary sources. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:48, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Here's a primary source where he is announcing he is voicing in Skylanders Academy. [3] and a tweet as well [4]. You can also cite the episode if he appears in closing credits. But it's better to source Wired UK magazine: [5] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:57, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes, his name is in the Skylanders closing credits in the "with" section. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Importance rating for WP YouTube

Per Wikipedia:WikiProject YouTube/Assessment:

• Mid "Subject is only notable within its particular field or subject and has achieved notability in a particular place or area."
• High "Subject is extremely notable, but has not achieved international notability, or is only notable within a particular continent."
• Top "Subject is extremely important, even crucial, to its specific field. Reserved for subjects that have achieved international notability within their field."

I don't believe he's Top as he is not crucial to YouTube gaming, or is he in the historical sense? But he's notable for UK, being one of the top ten in the country (#4 in subscribers, #2 in views as of this post [6]) , and he's definitely at the least Mid for being notable in his particular field. SB also has him listed as #40 in the world by subscribers [7], #15 in the world by most channel views. [8] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:38, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Not sure if this is Dan trying to throw us off, but he tweeted that his middle name isn't Andrew Ditto/ (Talk) 14:52, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Dan Middleton → DanTDM – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Most people do not know Dan's full name, and titling this article as such would confuse an ordinary reader. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 16:30, 14 July 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. Winged Blades ^Godric 09:38, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose His full name is already listed in numerous news articles and even in his book. [9] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:41, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support per common name. Most recent coverage refer to him as DanTDM more often than his full name. Sekyaw (talk) 00:21, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Can you provide evidence that most reliable sources independent of the subject are referring to him mainly as DanTDM? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:46, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

His full name is a public fact, so it may be mentioned in news articles, but a simple Google News search would show that headlines include "DanTDM" and not "Dan Middleton". Here's a few for starters: [10][11][12][13] Sekyaw (talk) 02:40, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

• Support. "DanTDM" is far more common in Google News, and "Dan Middleton" returns a large number of irrelevant hits for other people of that name ([14] vs. [15]). His tour, book and YouTube channel, which are why he's noteworthy, all have him as "DanTDM".--Cúchullain ^t/c 15:09, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Request to make a change to the Personal Details section

To the concerned person,

Under the Personal Details section, under the photo of DanTDM, there is a problem in the Born subsection. It should state the name he was named at the time of his birth, the date of birth and place he was born in. It should not state his age because it would not make sense. DanTDM was born on November 8, 1991 aged 26. That is what it would say. If the age has to be added, please make a subsection for it. So, in short, remove the age and add it somewhere else. Regards, TheFirstTimeTraveller TheFirstTimeTraveller (talk) 16:29, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

@TheFirstTimeTraveller: If I am understanding you correctly, that is a standard practice across most biography articles. As such, this is not the appropriate venue to bring this up. I would recommend bringing it up (in general terms) at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard and see what they say. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 02:12, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

We should keep this named "TheDiamondMinecart // DanTDM

So it can be including his old name. thanks, User talk:Sonic Probe —Preceding undated comment added 09:31, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

• @Sonic Probe: Do you have any evidence that the YouTuber ever used this combined name? (If so, we might add it as a redirect, but not as the main title of the article. See the naming conventions.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:03, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
• The subject's former channel name is "TheDiamondMinecart", as stated in the article. While a redirect is possible, naming the page with slashes causes issues, especially when slashes here on Wikipedia are used to represent a directory. It's better to name the redirect by just the former name. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 15:13, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
  • If he didn't use the combined name, there's no point in creating a redirect. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 15:31, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

His common name is DanTDM, in fact, the article was renamed to that recently. The channel name when typed in by the youtube name is still https://www.youtube.com/user/TheDiamondMinecart He might have labelled it with the slashes at one time, but it's now labelled DanTDM, but it doesn't change the channel name or location. Please read WP:COMMONNAME AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:18, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

@AngusWOOF: Bit late to the party and doesnt change anything, just adding to this that the channel display name was changed to include the slashes at some point in the past year (<2017) or two. I presume this was during his semi-rebrand, but it is insignificant and also awkward per the above. See this at 1:40. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 05:01, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

It was originally his Youtube name, but he had to change it to just 'DanTDM' because fans kept uploading random videos from his Youtube channel. Probably best they don't rename it. Besides, the article already mentions it. Vincinel (talk) 18:08, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

I did some cool updates.

I recently replaced the image of DanTDM to his Twitter pic! And replaced references with achievements! It's SOOOOO much better!!!! Ibrahim imran worrior (talk) 10:27, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Ibrahim imran worrior, please do not copy his current Twitter picture. That's a copyright violation and not released to the public as claimed. Also, his logo is nondescript now and different from the one he has printed in his merch. The play buttons don't need to be listed as awards, but can be woven into his narrative.

Main Picture

we need a better up-to-date picture of DanTDM — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.158.174.200 (talk) 19:54, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Lots of articles do. It's usually a matter of rather limited availability of non-copyright protected images. As for replacing the 2014 picture of Dan, I have found this on Flickr. That's a picture from 2016, which brings the article image a tad more up to date, I suppose.—♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 09:25, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Gotcha. Replaced the image. Ibrahim imran worrior (talk) 10:27, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

I think that there should be a more up-to-date picture of Middleton. Maybe one from 2017 or 2018. And, as for Amberrock's copyright concern, we can take a photo from Getty Images. Minecrafter0271 (talk) 00:38, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

I just want to change that horrendous picture. Like I know this is petty but seriously I've been watching him since 2014 and he's went through so many changes since that picture and I just get irritated every time I see that old thing. I want to change it to a better quality, and newer picture of him. I'm hoping you will let me. Thank you.

P.S. I know that if I were him, I'd want that changed. Plus, he probably wants it changed too. TinTheWikiWarrior (talk) 03:34, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Two suggestions

Since the article mentions MoreTDM, which has been inactive for years, I think it would also make sense to reference PokemanDanLv45, his other dead channel, in the "YouTube information" section. Along with this, I think it would also make sense to update his photo to something more modern, since the current one is from 2014

P.S. you may want to capitalize the i's in "Personal information" and "YouTube information" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tealyt (talk • contribs) 05:14, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

University that DanTDM supposedly attended?

A while back, I found a reference that confirmed that DanTDM attended the University of Nottingham and added it in. However, this information and reference have been deleted. In its place, someone said that DanTDM attended the University of Northampton. References were not included. I did a search on Google about this information, and it seems that some sources state that DanTDM attended the Univerity of Nottingham, while others say that he studied in Northampton. I even found a source that said that he studied at Northumbria University. What should the information really be, and which sources are actually reliable?
