# Talk:James Marriott

Hey Launchballer, was wondering if you could offer me any help with developing this page? I've seen your work on some of my favourite artist's pages including piri and Jax Jones and loved your work! James recently charted in the UK Album chart so that is why I have started a page and was wondering if you fancy helping me get it up to standard. Thank you! George (talk) 16:53, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

oh yeah, and could we possibly get it indexed too? thanks!! George (talk) 20:24, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
I really am sorry to keep you waiting for so long; the DYK section, where I do much of my editing, has been very busy. A few things stuck out; lead sections should be a summary of the rest of the article and shouldn't contain content not in the body; subscriber counts are dynamic lists and require a secondary source (and preferably a timestamp, piri hasn't had 419,000 TikTok subscribers since last year); influences should really be in their own section as well and most of the personal life section is early life and should be part of the career section and the bit that's left should either be with Artistry or timestamped within the career section; I'm leaning towards saying that the first sentence should be truncated at 'musician', because that's what he appears to best known for, though I haven't done that much googling and I could be wrong on that. I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'indexed' as the article seems to be categorised, but I plan on doing some work on this myself. (And I haven't done that much work on the Jax Jones article; I created a short stub, which was prodded and then deleted, and then overwritten, virtually none of my contributions remain in the history.)--Launchballer 17:09, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Oh, on Google! Unfortunately, they're a law unto themselves; some articles appear within seconds, while others take a bit longer (George Daniel took three days). It doesn't help that this isn't currently linked from any mainspace articles.--Launchballer 10:40, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Georgeykiwi: I've just done some work on this.--Launchballer 17:43, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Wow! The article looks great. Thanks for all that feedback too, I'll make sure to take that on board :) Also, no worries about the indexing, I think I saw something about it having to be 'patrolled'? I got sent this page: Wikipedia:Controlling search engine indexing. Really appreciate your help with the article! George (talk) 19:12, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
New one on me this, but it would appear that this needs either 90 days to elapse or someone with the 'new pages patroller' right to mark it as patrolled or edit the article. I can't do that as I don't have the right, and I suspect I wouldn't get it as I don't do much vandal-fighting.--Launchballer 12:28, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
Has been indexed now which is great! Should we potentially attempt to get this top good article level? This is the first article that I've largely contributed to so would be cool! I recon its possible with the amount of sources he has, I've tried to add as much as I can in the last few days :) George (talk) 15:08, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
Please forgive the late reply. WP:GA is an area I'm less familiar with, as I have only one article. However, there are a fair few sources I would not use personally; Sportskeeda is considered generally unreliable at the perennial reliable sources list, the Daily Mirror and Dexerto are tabloids and probably shouldn't be used in biographies of living people, and I'd be prepared to justify use of Twitter/YouTube (see WP:ABOUTSELF). I'd also look for a source that says the loophole was definitely fixed. Certainly worth nominating though.--Launchballer 13:40, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Have removed those three sources! ive also created a separate section for primary sources which is the better way of formatting it! I think i'll nominate it if you recon thats all thats wrong with it :) George (talk) 21:16, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
That isn't all of them, and I wouldn't separate them anyway. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, but per WP:BLP primary sources should really only be used for uncontroversial claims (like middle name, birth date etc.); much of the social media section shouldn't actually be there.--Launchballer 23:00, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
@Launchballer i've made sure that all of the primary sources are essentially cold hard proof of what i've written so they shouldn't be an issue hopefully? (most of them are just uncontroversial claims) would you mind helping me adapt / change the stuff that shouldn't be there & give me an idea so i can help? thanks :) George (talk) 04:59, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Yeah, but there's also the issue of it constituting due weight if no other sources have talked about it.--Launchballer 10:24, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

During the "Are We There Yet" tour of Europe James's band was joined by Louis Salanson controlling their multitrack but also playing additional guitar and percussion during the set (I was unable to find a written acknowledgement of this but I hope this segment of his live set at KOKO in London suffices). Should he be added to the "Live Members" section? Hanatic (talk) 21:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

You do need a written acknowledgement of it at minimum.--Launchballer 10:26, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
Ah okay. That makes things difficult as most acknowledgements I can find are either from James's streams or recordings of his gigs; I'll keep looking. Hanatic (talk) 19:38, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

James calls his fans pookies. Therefore, This should be included in the article. 2600:6C64:6D7F:8A6E:847A:292:AEF8:E7CB (talk) 14:35, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

James Marriot was given the nickname 'Pookie' by his Twitch chat in late 2023, when several chat members began to say that he was their pookie bear. James was originally opposed to this title but it seems as of early 2024 he is quite fond of the nickname, even beginning to state that he is, in fact, pookie.

AWTY has it’s own seperate article. Why shouldn’t DTTD? Plus, it’s a number 1 on the charts. Why not? 2A09:5E41:E47:400:8895:DBB7:F716:B14C (talk) 00:01, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

I see @Georgeykiwi: started a draft for it. I won't publish an unsourced article, but I'll expand that as soon as I can.--Launchballer 00:04, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
It's done. How likely is he to reply to a private message? I want to ask him if he'd post a selfie and release it under a CC-BY-SA license (e.g. here).--Launchballer 14:08, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Change image of musician James Mariott to a recent and nicer one. He asked for it on his Instagram story, and also he's lost a lot of weight since and looks different now. Mariachryx9 (talk) 07:27, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Change James' photo to something more recent (and better taken) as he has requested this himself Hollybott (talk) 22:11, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

@Hollybott: I did see his Instagram story to this effect. Could you ask him to publish a selfie with the comment "I release this under a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license"? An example of this is [1].--Launchballer 22:21, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Can you change the photo to James marriott running image :3 2A02:C7C:D866:4E00:9C17:EC8E:EE54:5B90 (talk) 19:11, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Which image?
