Mega64 on YouTube (January 17, 2023). "Mega64 Podcast 672 - Interview With @hbomberguy". Mega64: Can we officially get a a date of birth for you on camera here? Hbomberguy: Oh yeah thank you yeah so my Wikipedia page doesn't know what year I was born and I can't just tell them I can't just edit it and it has to be an official source so I can use this as a source if I say I was born on September 19 1992. So it currently it says 92/93 so hopefully we can clear that up thank you very much there.{{cite news}}: CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (link)

I previously added a line in the Somerton section about the second apology video he uploaded (and deleted a day or so later), but my initial source was considered unreliable (fair), so I replaced it with the Citation Needed thingie. It was brought to my attention that's not the right way to go about it. So I was wondering if someone here has a reliable source for this. Due to more recent events, it's become quite difficult to find sources about the second apology video. CrimsonRainFlower (talk) 15:53, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

The following line is present in the last line of the James Somerton section: "On 5 March 2024, Somerton staged an apparent suicide note for his social media, sparking concern; however he was later confirmed to be safe on 11 March by Kat Lo, an editor and producer who works with Brewis."
The source that was cited here does not state that the note was staged. All that is said in the source is that Kat Lo, Harry's editor, said that Somerton was alive and physically well after the note was posted. She did not feel comfortable disclosing more. This does not mean that it was staged; it just means that James did not end up doing what he said he would in the note, which could be for a variety of reasons.
The language in the above quote does not appear to be accurate, nor is it as neutral as it should be. It extrapolates from available information to come to conclusions about Somerton's intentions which may or may not be accurate. This line should be changed to contain a less accusatory phrasing.

Alternatively, it's possible that the quote was accurate, but the information contained within was not in the source they cited. If this is the case, a new source with that info should be added. PretzelDinosaur (talk) 03:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

"In addition to the plagiarism accusations, another YouTuber, Todd in the Shadows, released a separate video soon after Brewis's where he fact-checked Somerton and debunked claims he made about queer culture and other topics."
Is this necessary information? Isn´t this part on Somerton a bit much information in an encyclopedia, I mean this is supposed to be an article about hbomberguy. He wouldn´t like this focus on an individual situation, I guess. It borders to bullying. Also the article is missing out a lot of different critiques, like the golden one or Ben Shapiro or the climate and vaccine deniers etc. pp..
And should hbomb really redirect to hbommberguy instead of hydrogen bomb. He obviously referred to them when he named himself, I am sure. ~2026-38473-78 (talk) 17:26, 6 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
