I'll review this article soon.100cellsman (talk) 08:21, 26 December 2018 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- I couldn’t grasp the information of Forbes revealing his identity easily. The section could be worded better.
- What does the section “which had been previewed by the duo for a long period” mean?
- “Marshmello's and Dotcom's associating with Shalizi, and the uncovering of their similar tattoos and birthday.” I found this wording awkward.
- "Having done that,” unnecessary statement.
- ”During the mid-year” A more precise date would be useful.
- ”on which he” in > on
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- The article uses present tense words inappropriately at times.
- ”in which Mexican rapper Omar LinX is featured”
- ”singer-songwriter Wrabel is featured”
- ”His next single, announced on Twitter, is a collaboration”
- Pitchfork’s review for Joytime II as mentioned in the lead, isn’t in the article body.
- The appearance and musical style sections should be joined together as an artistry section.
- ”Marshmello released his last two singles of 2018” is a dated statement.
- Alone being released under the label Monstercat isn’t in the article body apart from the lead.
- The article uses present tense words inappropriately at times.
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Is it verifiable with no original research?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
- ”having reached the top 10 in more than 20 countries.” is not in reference 24.
- ”released through Joytime Collective,” is not in reference 25.
- ”in which American singer-songwriter Wrabel is featured.” is not in reference 35.
- Not certain if YourEDM is a reliable source, and reference 16 citing the Ookay, Noah Cyrus and “Chasing Colors” section can be dropped as Billboard is much more reputable.
- C. It contains no original research:
- D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
- The infobox says that he has his own YouTube Channel for gaming and cooking besides music, and I can’t find that being mentioned in the article body aside from from his video views.
- B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
- “He is managed by Moe Shalizi of Red Light Management, who also manages artists such as Jauz, Ookay and Slushii” I don’t see the need for the other artists under his management.
- Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato are very well known so its not really necessary to refer to them as a “singer and actress” and a “pop singer” respectively. And Bastille can just be referred to as a “british band” instead of a “British indie pop band“
- “He covers his identity similarly to other electronic music artists such as Deadmau5 and Daft Punk” There doesn’t need to be a comparison in the lead.
- “which features Marshmello's pet mouse, Joel (Deadmau5's first name)” Totally unnecessary.
- A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
- Is it neutral?
- It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
- Questionable POV writing:
- ”with the late rapper, Lil Peep,”
- ”from established and well-known DJs like Skrillex”
- ”an organization which aims to help refugees and immigrant children”
- ”with fellow producer Jauz”
- The lead mentioning the many artists he collaborated may come off as promotional. Also “his second most-successful career single” is maybe POV?
- Questionable POV writing:
- It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
- Is it stable?
- It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
- It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
- Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
- A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
- B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
- The images in the article body are kinda cluttered in the article in my opinion.
- A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
- Overall:

- Unfortunately, this article constitutes as a quickfail. I found too many problems than I had anticipated. Hope these problems get resolved for this article to be nominated again.100cellsman (talk) 11:32, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Image change
Hi,
I was wondering if it would be worth changing the image at the top of the page as his helmet has added capabilities and he dresses differently now. The last picture was from 2016 and Marshmello has come a LONG way since then.
I can complete the edit just wondering if it is worthwhile.
Thanks

User Dopeboi333 has recently vandalized this page replacing Marshmello's birth name of Christopher Comstock to Lance Dominik Nicholas in addition to changing birth place from Philadelphia Pennsylvania US to Cranbrook British Columbia Canada. Also added a hyperlink to his Facebook on Line 74. Unsure of other vandalized aspects, but this user has repeated vandalized several other pages. Mgrigori562 (talk) 00:02, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

hey can u let it be a mystery instead of writing the name chris comstock. ~2026-23823-98 (talk) 12:52, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
- Hello, please see WP:NOTCENSORED. Reliable sources say he is Comstock, so it remains as such. Viva la horde, ~ GoatLordServant(Talk) 12:57, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
- so u are telling me that wikipedia is based off on sources instead of actual known information? his team or himself have never confirmed him to be chris. let people or fans interested in finding out his identity find it through social media posts, infos rumour that he is chris or somebody else. this page can provide the facts that he is rumoured to be chris and etc. ~2026-23823-98 (talk) 13:05, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
- With the amount of reliable, vetted sources that claim he is Comstock, yes. Wikipedia is not intended to carry original research or make conclusions on its own, we consider that synthesising our own content and original research. Instead, Wikipedia is based on the concept of verifiability, meaning that we will always reflect what the media publishes over what is neccessarily 'correct'. This idea is summated on the second of our five pillars, and it states with finality that
[...] editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong on Wikipedia.
- In short, on Wikipedia, reliable sources can say Marshmello is Comstock with certainty, and the article will reflect that. Comstock is not required to confirm his own identity. Viva la horde, ~ GoatLordServant(Talk) 13:17, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
