Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Notability

I was told that multiple refs showing the subject's notability is enough. See the two refs. Buc 21:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look at WP:Bio - to be honest, just because they've been noted in two different places doesn't automatically make them notable, but it's probably borderline in this instance. I'm left thinking "so what" after reading the article, which is a pretty good indication (to me, anyway), that WP:NN isn't being satisfied. Giles Bennett (Talk, Contribs) 21:52, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

how about if I provide more links [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bole2 (talk • contribs) 22:11, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Written by fangirls

I know 'charlieissocoollike' from YouTube, and I enjoy his videos, but is this article necessary? It's a complete mess, it's full of original research, and it's like it's been written by fangirls. Either it be cleaned up, or it should be considered for deletion. 92.10.19.59 (talk) 20:13, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

This article is constantly being vandalised. It seems like I have to come back here at least 2-3 times per week to remove more of the vandalism. Does anybody else think it would be a good idea to lock off this article to newly registered users? There seems to be quite a few Charlie haters out there. TheTwoRoads (talk) 13:48, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clean Up

As this is a biography of a living person. I will remove all poorly sourced or uncited material. WP:RS WP:NOR Hetelllies (talk) 23:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I am particularly bad with Wikipedia so I'll leave the editing to you guys. However, I think the most important part of cleaning up this article is some organization. We need a section for "Projects" under which we can have several subheadings for Chameleon Circuit (linking to the main article), Chartjackers, Challenge Charlie (with the strange challenge facts fitting in here), and his work with the RNLI. A section for "Trivia" may be added for the bits of information that we feel cannot be left out. "Early Life" should be another section. Since he has not been in a formal interview, I suggest someone do one by email. I am sure he'd be happy to oblige. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.11.47.244 (talk) 21:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He has been in a formal interview, but remember that Wikipedia is not a place for original research. Kevin Smith (talk) 16:07, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BlogTV

Can someone please mention that he does a live show on blog TV, at 8pm on a friday and a monday. Its become part of his reputation now and needs to noted. Any opinions?

86.11.47.17 (talk) 15:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is far more important that Reliable sources be added to this article. Without them, it is a valid target for deletion. I recognise that he broadcasts on BlogTV occasionally but is there an independent source for that information? DoubleBlue (Talk) 20:22, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hair shaving

Should the fact he is shaving his hair for charity be put on? (Note- by the time you read this it is likely it will already have happened.) For a more knowledgeable and relaxed Wikipedia- Nemesis646 (talk) 18:28, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you can Cite your sources, please do. DoubleBlue (Talk) 18:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is this necessary?

Contributing To the points already been made, I would also like to point out Charlie McDonnell already has a page on the DFTBA wiki wich is pretty sufficient. I would also say that Youtubers, even as legendary as Charlieissocoollike, are not significant or notable enough to have a page. I sugges this page be deleted. If anyone would like to put the points made into another peice, go ahead.

92.16.38.250 (talk) 19:47, 12 July 2009 (UTC) Rob (No account)[reply]

Agreed. Also, why in the world is his number of Twitter followers interesting?
On his "Twitter" page Charlie has received 33,178 (Aug 5th 2009) followers from advertising his page on his Youtube channel.
80.203.42.168 (talk) 20:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Come on now. Is this whole damned article necessary? I guess it is the permission to anyone write articles about themselves. By the way, I killed a big hairy bug yesterday and think it's enough to create a page about myself. Will anyone persuade me? 189.83.124.81 (talk) 16:12, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well I looked him up. Doesn't that say at least something. Would people look up you to find out about your bug killing.. aside from people who would do it as a joke? Kanjo Kotr (talk) 22:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously - is this necessary?

As per below, this article is full of original research, is poorly written and should be cleared up properly or more realistic, considered for deletion. Bigup sim (talk) 16:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please start at discussion at the bottom of the page from now on. It has already been established that Charlie McDonnell is notable, so trying to delete this page because it is poorly written is well, dumb. If you don't the writing in this article, or you see "unsourced or poorly sourced" contentious material (as the BLP box says above), consider doing something yourself.

Chameleon Circuit

Namesake: "In reference to the TV show Doctor Who, the Chameleon Circuit is the component of a TARDIS that allows for a distinct change in shape in order for the ship to match its surroundings and remain inconspicuous. The circuit on the Doctor's TARDIS has malfunctioned, leaving it stuck in the shape of a 1950s-style British police box."

Chameleon Circuit is a band which is composed of four British YouTubers: Alex Day (Nerimon), Charlie McDonnell (charlieissocoollike), Chris Beattie (Ginger Chris) and Liam Dryden (littleradge). These four teens started their band in August of 2008, and evidently they created a new genera of music Timelord Rock or Trock for short.

The four teenagers wrote about songs of the British television phenomenon Dr.Who, the 2005 edition and recorded and produced their first album which is composed of ten songs which are avaible to buy on iTunes, or as a hardcopy on dftba.com. The bands first, and only album includes the songs: 01. An Awful Lot of Running written by Alex Day

02. Gallifreyan History 101 written by Chris Beattie

03. Count the Shadows written by Chris Beattie

04. Shipwrecked written by Alex Day

05. Type 40 written by Alex Day

06. Blink written by Charlie McDonnell

07. Exterminate, Regenerate written by Charlie McDonnell

08. K9’s Lament written by Chris Beattie

09. Journey’s End written by Alex Day, Charlie McDonnell

10. Friends of the Ood [Acoustic]written by Charlie McDonnell

Song Meanings

An Awful Lot of Running: being the Doctors companion and the thrill of traveling with him. How much better is it living life with the Doctor in comparison to their previous way of living.

Gallifreyan History 101: title suggestive, a history of the race of the Timelords.

Count the Shadows: based on the season four episode of Silence In the Library/ Forest of the Dead.

Shipwrecked: based on the beginning of "Rise of the Cybermen" in season two. When the TARDIS is said to be 'dead' pronounced by the Doctor. The song expresses the emotions of the Doctor after he believes his time-machine is no longer working.

Type 40: the TARDIS's point of view on the scheme of things.

Blink: expresses the Dr.Who episode 'Blink'

Exterminate Regenerate: a Doctor and Davros duet. (Charlie McDonnell- Davros, Alex Day-the Doctor)

K9's Experiment: a song for K9, expressing his want to be like a 'real' dog and chase sticks.

Journey's End; brief summary of the season four finale, 'Journey's End'

Friends of the Ood: symbolizes the race of the Ood and freedom.

This band was formed so that these four boys could have fun singing about one of their favourite shows Dr. Who. As it stands, it is unsure whether Chameleon Circuit is going to produce a new record in the near future. However, the band seems to have become a smashing hit among these YouTuber and DFTBA fans.
