[edit]

Add citation under Filmography > Film for "Anomaly Found - Chase Brody": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AW33Nzmr1g (link to the film on YouTube, jacksepticeye, October 31, 2022) If this needs additional citation regarding creation, production, etc., this might suffice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23su4pTJ_XY (YouTube, jacksepticeye, October 30, 2022, "It took me 6 years to do this...")

Possible GA nomination

[edit]

I'm considering nominating this page as a good article, I've expanded the lead and reorganised the content in the internet career section. Does anyone else think there is anything else major that needs improving? Shapeyness (talk) 15:58, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add he created his channel in 2007

[edit]

He created the jackepticeye YouTube channel on February 24 2007, but it isn't mentioned anywhere here from what I can tell. Maybe add this tidbit at the beginning of the 'Internet career' section? 108.27.60.251 (talk) 18:24, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Diaphonemic transcription

[edit]

@Nardog I disagree with the removal of the second pronunciation. Since [x] is a rare phone in majority of English language dialects, and only appears in loanwords, I see [x] being pronounced inconsistently, even among those who speak the same dialect. I believe this to be especially true for non-native speakers. However, I was never formally educated in linguistics, so I would be happy to be shown wrong. 👍 Ca talk to me! 13:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What does he himself say? If he produces [x] then that is the correct pronunciation, period, and it is up to every other speaker (every reader) how to adapt it if they don't have /x/ in their own accent. Nardog (talk) 13:25, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He says it like /məˈklɑːklɪn/ like the second pronunciation of this dictionary entry Ca talk to me! 14:24, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a link? (And I seriously doubt it's /ɑː/ if he's Irish.) Nardog (talk) 15:08, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shapeyness put a link above. I just copy and pasted the pronounciation key from the dictionary, so the fine details are wrong. Ca talk to me! 15:27, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the link https://www.wired.com/video/watch/autocomplete-inverviews-jacksepticeye-answers-the-webs-most-searched-questions Shapeyness (talk) 17:39, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And he says /məˈɡlɒklɪn/! Which is one of the minor variants given by the previous source (Longman Pronunciation Dictionary). Problem solved. Nardog (talk) 04:38, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
