The Yard

The Yard should be mentioned and probably get its own subsection. Its now nominated for a Streamy, and one of the most popular podcasts and patreons. Other podcasts of a similar size might even have standalone articles, yet this one isn't mentioned at all. jonas (talk) 23:15, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Under Awards and Nominations, the result of the Esports Awards 2023 should be updated to "Nominated" from "Pending", since he lost.

I'm a regular viewer of Ludwig and I watched ludwig's video where he answers the internet where he refers to himself as american .I noticed this line in here " He considers himself to be primarily Swedish despite not knowing the language, " . I have not seen anywhere where he claims he considers himself primarily Swedish , he mostly just mentions his parents are European and his ethnicity. Therefore I request the removal of this line.

Is information about his owned property worth adding to the article?

found an article that seems reliable about his property : https://robbreport.com/shelter/celebrity-homes/youtuber-ludwig-lists-socal-house-for-2-4-million-1235549498/ Http iosue (talk) 15:57, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Robb Report seems to have over 700 transclusions in Wikipedia already and is owned by the Penske Media Corporation, which also publishes Variety and Rolling Stone. I'll go ahead and add this. UppercutPawnch (talk) 04:14, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

There needs to be a relevant reason to include property in the article. If we are just listing that Ahgren purchased/sold property, then that is irrelevant as people do this all the time and Wikipedia does not catalog this. However, if the property is significant in some way (i.e. childhood home, historic, major event happened there), then sure. --WashuOtaku (talk) 04:49, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Susan Wojcicki and The Yard

I wouldn't call it accurate to say that Wojcicki appeared on The Yard Podcast, she appeared for an interview on the set of The Yard, but it was only with Ludwig himself and only appeared on the primary Ludwig channel rather than on any of the podcast's platforms. 2600:4041:5B12:6C00:513F:F507:445:15C5 (talk) 03:24, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Not done for now: There is little information about the Gaymer Awards on Wikipedia and on the internet as a whole; appears to be only from a single publication (the direct source). As it appears more of a publicity stunt and less of a legit award, so it does not appear to be notable. If other editors disagree, they should respond here. --WashuOtaku (talk) 15:14, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Ludwig has directly acknowledged this award in several videos such as the one i have linked one below. I therefore believe this gives further reason for this to be added.

Controversy about Hall's departure from Offbrand Games

The paragraph about Offbrand Games says "after several of the company's recent releases were review-bombed by players." as an explanation for Hall's departure but the claim of review bombing by both Ludwig and Hall on X has proven to be false. Review history can be consulted on steamdb website: https://steamdb.info/app/2217000/charts/#reviews I think this paragraph should mention the false claim or at least treat the review bombing as conditional. Onzebleu (talk) 12:43, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Under the Philanthropy section, end of paragraph 1, change "Gamers for Love" to "Games for Love". This appears to be a typo from the cited source.

Ludwig Anders Ahgren said in his stream that he wants to change the profile picture in Wikipedia page, because it is very outdated, so please can You change it to the most recent one? Picture can be even from his Tip2Tip series.

Proof is in this YouTube shorts video posted by him (his verified YouTube account): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xKrJ76jwnJE Lietuvis321 (talk) 00:52, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

 Not done. Here is the problem with images/media on Wikipedia, they need to be allowed by the Copyright holder. For example, the current profile picture from CDawgVA was a screen capture from a YouTube video; the video had the license listed as Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed); that gave Wikipedia editors permission to use it and meets WP:IUP. Editors can also use Wikipedia Commons to upload their image or source it from another site that gives permission (note, if not the copyright holder or source does not give approval, it will be deleted), then use it here (for example, here are my pictures taken from the Trash Taste tour, available to use by anyone). Important note, once the Copyright owner gives Creative Commons permission, it is irrevocable. Hope that helps. --WashuOtaku (talk) 01:32, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

In the paragraph that currently states:

"In March 2025, Ahgren and fellow YouTuber Michael Reeves went on a journey across Japan, which was documented through a series of daily vlogs, titled "Tip2Tip"

The series title is incorrect. The 2025 Japan series is titled "Tip To Tip" (with "To" spelled out). "Tip 2 Tip" refers to the 2026 China sequel, which is mentioned later in the article.

Please change "Tip2Tip" to "Tip To Tip" in the 2025 paragraph.

The paragraph:

"In March 2026, Ahgren and Reeves filmed a second series of "Tip2Tip". This time the pair traveled across China, starting their journey in the south in Yangjiang, Guangdong and ending in Erenhot, a city on the China–Mongolia border."

should also be modified to reflect this.

Add these sources for the claim "the son of a French mother and Swedish father.", which is in the early life section of the article.

For the claim that Ludwigs father is swedish Ludwig states this himself in this youtube video of his: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmhR922xyaE&t=1743s Saying at 29:01 im the video (stuff inside brackets [] added by me): "Uhm and then, he [Ludwigs father] would never nark. Uhm so he is definitely a cool dad. Wore sperry's because he was a big sailor from Sweden. Lived there most of his life. Well. Yeah. About half."

For the claim about her mom being French Ludwig states this in this interview with Anthony Padiulla: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpXLJq3YZyk&t=1474s Saying at 23:39 in the video "My mom calls me Ludvig. Shes French. So she has a French accent..." Allu72 (talk) 22:07, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Lead image

There seems to be a mini edit war over the lead image, though I'm not sure why? Some have stated that Ahgren dislikes the current Image A, though nobody has provided a source. Furthermore I fail to see how Image B is an improvement, given that it is lower resolution, less recent and a more unnatural image (being rotated with the background at angle). If Ludwig wishes he may upload a photo to the Commons to be used but I believe A is better for Wikipedia for the time being. --Gauzecard (talk) 21:01, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

• https://youtube.com/shorts/xKrJ76jwnJE?si=-3Zq5V-5xKREUjrf (edited: I just found this YT shorts)

I found this post on his Instagram and there seems a number of clips of him expressing his dislike. If he really dislikes the photographs. he could just do a WP:APOY without uploading to Commons.

All that being said the current file in the infobox is the best file we have of him on Commons. Issac I Navarro (talk) 22:33, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Image A (left) - Ludwig Ahgren in March 2023 (3x4 cropped)
Image B (right) - Ludwig in February 2023 (cropped tight and rotated)

I adjusted how the images are viewed here to make this easier to respond. The main issue is that a few months back Ahgren posted that he wanted an updated image of him on Wikipedia, which is fair. The problem was there needed to be an image uploaded to Wikimedia Commons that had one of the accepted Copyright statuses: Public Domain (PD), Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY), Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA), or No Rights Reserved (CC0). Various editors tried to fulfill Ahgren's wish fell into the copyright status trap (uploading copyrighted images without permission, not providing source that shows copyright, or not showing ownership of the image; and thus were removed) and as a result here we are... debating on two images from three years ago.

The solution for editors is to find recent images or video of Ahgren that meets the copyright status and upload onto Wikimedia Commons, then update the image on Wikipedia. In the meantime, this talk page should not be used as a debate between image A or B; so let us stick with one until a more recent image becomes available.

Of course, I would not object if someone in Ahgren's media team reads this response and upload images to Wikimedia Commons that show ownership and gives accepted copyright. ¬‿¬ --WashuOtaku (talk) 22:18, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Comment: For anybody not all that familiar with Wikipedia:

Besides uploading to Wikimedia Commons there is also:

• Wikipedia:Images from social media, or elsewhere
• Wikipedia:A picture of you

These two pages explains the way one's photograph could be used on Wikipedia. Issac I Navarro (talk) 23:19, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Given than he has an email address publicly available on his Youtube, would it be worth sending an email to his team requesting an image that is owned by his media team/or by Ludwig to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons - as that is, in my opinion, the simplest way?

I would be willing to send an email like that; it seems like a good compromise. End (talk) 08:16, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

Ahgren in 2026

While I also hope a photo can be properly released, here's a new photo of Ludwig from Streamer Games 2026 that I clipped from a YouTube video. It's compatibly licensed because it's from a fan's video that was uploaded it to YouTube with a Creative Commons license. While it's not super high quality, it has an advantage of being more recent than other Commons photos and is more reflective of what he currently looks like. Thoughts? DanCherek (talk) 22:33, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

@DanCherek I am not seeing a clear CC license on the video. Issac I Navarro (talk) 22:42, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

If you expand the video description, under the channel name it says "License: Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)". DanCherek (talk) 22:45, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

@DanCherek, I was using mobile and it wasn't loading fot me, I just checked and it seems to be good.

The quality is not the greatest, however, if you would like to add it to the infobox, I don't object.

Another idea, you could try and get into contact with the video uploader and ask if he happens to have a higher quality example. Issac I Navarro (talk) 22:52, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

@DanCherek I think it's too low quality to serve as the lead when we have higher quality photographs available, but it could serve well as just a normal image on the side in the 2026 career section.

An image like this but in higher quality and resolution would be ideal for an updated lead image for future reference. I know ohnePixel uploads the vast majority of his videos under YouTube's creative commons licensing, perhaps he has a collab video with Lud where he calls him on Discord, that might be eligible?
