Nonneutral phrasing[edit]

A lot of the phrasing in this article doesn't appear to be from a NPOV. A rewrite of stuff like "most important youtuber", " truly popular", and "Unlike other Youtube channels concerning similar topics, Manley has the advantage" would be good. Treesniper (talk) 21:15, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should we add his twitch info here?[edit]

Not really a Video Game Youtuber anymore[edit]

"On his YouTube channel, he plays space-themed video games, usually Kerbal Space Program,[2] while he explains much of the science involved. He also makes videos discussing other science-related topics and news, mainly concerning up-to-date rocket science developments.[3] He uses his scientific background to help teach science while playing games."

About 2 years ago Scott announced that he would stop releasing regular Let's Play/video game content and focus on Science/Space/Rocketry content. He is primarily a science communicator now. I think this page should reflect that.

OK, I'll bite: why do many Wiki talk-page comments have no name, date, or url?

In this case the utility is obvious; what is "About 2 years ago..." supposed to mean? Two years from what?

Astrophysicist?[edit]

Hullo; I'm a Scott Manley fan and subscriber, but honestly now, check yo staging.
Fly safe.
