Could we get an etymology or background story of the B+ Show name meaning, just not clear in English — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.51.82 (talk) 23:52, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Bassem Youssef (television host) → Bassem Youssef – The target title is occupied by an inappropriate WP:TWODABS disambiguation page and the television host[1] appears to be far more notable than Bassem Youssef (FBI agent).[2] Therefore it would seem more appropriate for the subject to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

I removed an unattributed claim in the lead stating that he "rose to fame in 2023" as a result of an interview with Piers Morgan. This is incompatible with the (also mentioned in the article) statement that 10 years before this he had been included in Time's list of 100 most influential people. Additionally, this statement had been introduced explicitly spelling "israel" with a lower case i (that this was deliberate is evidenced by the fact that it was piped over a properly written page). This is a not-so-subtle statement against Israel that is not acceptable here. If someone wants to go into his interview with Morgan and add its reception to the article, feel free, but this is not the way. Cheers. Ostalgia (talk) 17:29, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
This photo of Youssef is kinda old. I request for it to be changed to a more recent one. 76.65.45.114 (talk) 08:32, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
I added information to the lead so it is current since right now it is significantly outdated. However, User:Fragrant Peony reverted the content incorrectly proclaiming it is "spam" when it's essential information. The lead does not mention his arrest, move to the United States, nor worth since then. The last credit in the lead was a show he did a decade ago. Thoughts users?

Since Youssef as of late has been going on antisemitic rants I added a section discussing it. It may need improvement but it is at the very least necessary when discussing him especially as of late. I also want to note the most recent section shows heavy bias towards him and doesn't allow for an objective look of him or his beliefs instead insisting he is somehow being targeted. I think the "current" section needs a total overhaul Ticketthedog (talk) 20:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
