A feeling someone has does not make it true, are there any credible reliable sources for such a claim?

Goodusername007 ( talk) 08:06, 24 June 2021 (UTC) Jawed Karim (Bengali: জাওয়েদ করিম; born October 28, 1979) is an American software engineer and Internet entrepreneur of Bangladeshi and German Descent. He is a co-founder of YouTube and the first person to upload a video to the site. This inaugural video, titled Me at the zoo and uploaded on April 24, 2005, has been viewed 168 million times, as of June 1, 2021.[2][3] During Karim's time working at PayPal, where he met the fellow YouTube co-founders Steven Chen and Chad Hurley, he had designed many of the core components including its real-time anti-Internet-fraud system.

Why do people keep adding that this individual is muslim? There is no official statement from the individual himself supporting this as a fact. Until that time, it should not be added to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mafiaa2012 ( talk • contribs) 04:24, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello. In the little caption under the "Me at the Zoo" video, the word should be on, instead of in. I'm just a noob, so I can't make the fix. I hope I'm doing the right thing here. Thanks. Bholtgren ( talk) 04:07, 26 April 2023 (UTC) Bholtgren ( talk) 04:07, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

after reading the article (Top) I found a misleading information which it's the date when (karim)'s video was uploaded so please change "uploaded on April 23, 2005," to "uploaded on April 24, 2005," Yassinechaouachi ( talk) 11:15, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

what is the purpose of the "response to youtube" section? I understand that some parts might be relevant as a founder of youtube, but most of the section seems irrelevant to karim's wikipedia article Forensicswaifu ( talk) 08:22, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
The source cited for this piece of information only indicates he was fluent at one point in his childhood. If you look at this web archive link to his site, you can click on his resume, in which he only mentions that he speaks German and English, no mention of Bengali.

The thumbnail of the video has changed as of December 15th 2023, would be good to document in the article under the "Responses to YouTube" section. Possibly satire of generic modern YouTube thumbnails? High resolution image given here: [2] https://img.youtube.com/vi/jNQXAC9IVRw/maxresdefault.jpg Stebaint ( talk) 19:19, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Jawed had changed the description to
“Noob vs Pro vs Hacker at the zoo AKA I Spent/Survived 1 Day Trapped At The Zoo AKA $1 Al Elephant vs $1,000,000 Al Elephant AKA Last To Leave Zoo Wins! AKA Never Do This At The Zoo (WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WILL SHOCK YOU)”
But since then it has changed back to the normal one making me look unsourceless.

Change view count of "Me at the zoo" from "over 310 million" to "over 325 million" Marcus-iwnl ( talk) 10:14, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
It's probably not necessary to be specific about his employer(s) (if any) as clearly they aren't terribly notable (else there would probably already be more about them in the article), but it would be nice for the reader to get a sense of his current activities, other than occasionally editing his video description to attack certain moves by YouTube/Google. Does he work in any particular industry, for example? Is he retired, or living off investments? One line (e.g., "As of 2024, he is employed in sausage research and development.") would be sufficient. If nothing else, it would help make the article look more current and "complete". 100.40.29.79 ( talk) 12:53, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
According to WP:ETHNICITY, ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability. I don't think Karim is notable for being of Bangladeshi-German origin, I think he is notable for being one of the co-founders of YouTube. I have removed the phrase accordingly. But if a good reason to reinclude said phrase is present, please make it here. Zinderboff( talk) 13:21, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
I've lived and worked around a lot of people of South Asian descent, and I know how they will associate people with a religion by their first or last names, but nothing in the article says anything about a religion at all. This was the edit that introduced his religion category and a rather flat argument for it [3]. It is a stretch to say that because one of his parents was Bengali, he practices Islam. He is equally descended from East Germans, among the most irreligious people on Earth, but we similarly don't give him atheist categories because he hasn't said anything on the matter.
I propose per WP:BLPCAT that anyone who adds any personal belief category to this page without good evidence (i.e. interviews with the man himself) should be given sanctions for adding unsourced information to BLPs. WP:BLPDS. Unknown Temptation ( talk) 17:44, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Imagine nenaa ran for youtube queen and so does coryxkenshin and a few other youtubers who think they can pull it of, they will have to go live doing what the do but way better then the last time they did it. A part of their live has to be about why they Think they will be a good youtube king/queen, all of the people who watch youtube can vote for there fav youtuber once evey live is over. Im thinking this could happen every once a year or so the live will last as long as the youtubers can manage as long as is not above two days, the third day will be the voteing time. If you need help with this project (if you agree) you can hire people for no money to help manage the project. Rules? Nobody can go to another you tubers channle and spam mean messages the youtubers can report this person sending an email to one of the people you hired and ask them if they want to ban this person from voting or not. To stop them from making this acton the hired and yourself can make a video telling the details of the election. They viewer will only see this video when they first click (they cannot skip the video as it is very important) and all the people who is live for the election. Although may be young i would still like to me hired as a helper for this big event(only if you accept my offer) 204.98.64.46 ( talk) 13:43, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
