Literally what I wrote are facts, can't be against Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy. No way. Cristiansr 99 (talk) 23:50, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

I didn't see you provide any sources for their nationalities, and please read WP:FLAGCRUFT — placing a national flag next to something can make its nationality or location seem to be of greater significance than other things...emphasizing the importance of a person's citizenship or nationality above their other qualities risks violating Misplaced Pages's WP:NPOV policy. They are not on that list because of their nationality, nor are they notable for their citizenship or nationality. They are on that list because they are notable for their subscriber counts on YouTube Music. Look at any of their BLP articles, and you will not see any flags, and their citizenship or nationality is just mentioned as standard WP:BLP information. I know you are new to editing, but unnecessarily emphasizing citizenship or nationality, when it's not relevant or notable to their subscriber counts, and WP:FLAGCRUFT are undue in that article. Thanks. Isaidnoway (talk) 00:17, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

The thing is that you can check their nationalities by going to their Misplaced Pages pages but you could add a source too, instead of deleting what other users add. And I see it says "can make its nationality or location seem to be of greater significance than other things" but that doesn't mean that it does, right? I think it depends in the person that is reading. And isn't their primary language also not the reason which they are on this list?

I think it's interesting enough to see their nationalities for someone who visits this page, but not the most important thing, that's why I put it on the last column (before languages). Cristiansr 99 (talk) 00:36, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

The topic of the article is most-subscribed YouTube Music artists. That's what these artists are notable for, and the reason they are on the list. They are not on the list because of their citizenship or nationality, that's irrelevant, and no, their primary language isn't the reason they are on the list. Look at these other similar articles — List of most-subscribed YouTube channels, List of most-streamed artists on Spotify, List of most-followed Twitter accounts, List of most-followed Instagram accounts - no countries or flags, because they are irrelevant. You also wrote on the talk page of the article - a user called 'Binksternet' deleted it without any reason, but that's not true, he did give a reason → removing flags per MOS:FLAGCRUFT, the very same reason I am giving. Also, when replying to an editor in a threaded discussion, please remember to indent your reply, and a friendly reminder to discuss the content, not the editor, as you did on the talk page of the article, see Misplaced Pages:Focus on content not contributor.

October 2021

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at List of most-viewed YouTube videos. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.
