Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

[TVB]

No original research

And Wikipedia has a "citation needed" template. They couldn't use that after that sentence?

To be fair, most Wiki editors barely bother or care for adding in sensible or important citations to keep on subject. Would anyone notice if there was no template to begin with?

That, and site jannies don't even bother reverting them.

There is a 20,189 word page that lists in detail every single episode of the web series the Angry video game nerd with a summary of each one, every DVD release, every single video posted to the Cinemassacre website with notes, summaries of multiple smaller shows James has done and his Youtube shorts but still no Chris Chan page.

This is one of the most autistically detailed pages I think I've ever seen. The fact this person went through hundreds of videos and took notes to do this is stunning. I say this as someone who loved AVGN since 2007.

I'd rather have the train-obsessed type of autist over the narcissistic troon type of autist. It's refreshing to see autism in this thread that doesn't revolve around tranny cabals injecting their politics into every article.

Compared to a lot of the shit that is autistically detailed on Wikipedo, this is rather tame. Feels more like the "article for specific Pokémon" thing compared to "blatantly political propaganda disguised as an encyclopedia article" that often gets brought up here.

Notice how the last article has a complete orgy of "citations", having more links in the first sentence than both the previous retarded conspiracies combined.

It's quite funny to see how desperate the wikipedos get to circlejerk over their own insane bullshit. They know they can just ban anyone who questions the first two but the last one is meant to be used as a weapon against "chuds" who might disagree with the orthodoxy so it needs to have as much ammunition as possible to gish gallop their way over any discussion.

Yet Nostalgia Critic's episode list has been deleted for years.

Yet there is no Asian Art in Western Collections, Western Art in African collections, etc.

I'm not autistic enought to bother doing it, but I'm happy to bet a nice sum of money that every conspiracy theory/wrong thinker/evul politician has ten times the citations than a page of a similar person or thing.

Given what we know about Wikipedia's fixation on it such as the Holocaust having less text than January 6th BoomerFest I would put that as a given.

Also quite interesting how there is no equivalent to the "X art in Y museums" equivalent. It actually sounds like something the usual suspects of this sort of thing would make. Guess they don't give a shit unless it means they get to complain about whitey and colonialism.

"How dare those white men put shit in museums for everyone to see. Those tribal savages should have kept their idols so they could be plundered in any civil war about to explode in Africa."

I find it sad to see museums cucking to this shit and sending artifacts back to unstable, corrupt, third world shit holes and then going shocked Pikachu face when the returned artifacts aren't put in a museum or some shit. Here is one paragraph from the Benin Bronzes page. QRD is that the German government mandated a bunch of museums to return thousands of artifacts to the Nigerian government.

A few months later, on 23 March 2023, departing President Muhammadu Buhari declared by decree, that all restituted objects from the Benin Expedition belong to the Royal Family in Benin City. Effective for objects that have been restituted and those to be restituted in the future. The Royal Family alone should be responsible for safekeeping and management. The bronzes were thereby turned into private property, to the exclusion of every other person and institution.[25][83] Oba Ewuare II announced his plans to put them into a future museum on, or near, his palace grounds. European journalists noted that the ″Edo Museum of West African Art″, for whose construction Germany had pledged 4 million Euros, would most likely remain empty. Swiss ethnologist Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin concluded that Germany's 2022 restitution policy was a fiasco.[25][26] According to journalists, the German government returned the Benin bronzes to Nigeria under certain conditions which were ignored by the Nigerian president.[25]

If it wasn't for this tribal king, no one would see these again, and probably won't given that the museum doesn't actually exist yet and these funds will probably be laundered. There's also this hilarious paragraph.

In August 2022, an African-American slavery reparations activist group in the US, called the Restitution Study Group, petitioned against the United Kingdom's Charity Commission repatriating the Benin Bronzes to Nigeria. The group argued that in the country's history, African people had been complicit in selling captives into the Atlantic slave trade. Instead, the group suggested that descendants of enslaved Africans should have co-ownership over the Benin Bronzes in Western museums.[84]

I think artifacts should in general be repatriated to functional countries with a history of actually honoring them, like Egypt. But not to African kleptocracies, where you might as well just throw them in the ocean, especially the Muslim countries that have a good chance of just destroying them in a fit of Pisslam rage about "idols" or some bullshit.

It would even be nice to have the exhibits do something like a "return home" tour where they can visit other museums and such to spread awareness and let other people see the treasures before finally coming to rest.

Egypt hasn't been stable since the 2011 Revolution, where infamously, the Cairo Museum was looted and artifacts were lost to the black market of antiquities. Also Egyptian archaeologists are becoming infamous for essentially gatekeeping Egyptology.

I was thinking the same thing. The Muslim Brotherhood still has a strong grip in Egyptian society, and there is always a strong chance that they could engage in an iconoclasm if the current regime decides to go blind again. And even if a government is "stable," that still doesn't mean anything, as I remember a story a few years back of Chinese nationals stealing Tibetan Artifacts from museums so that the CCP could destroy them (unsurprisingly, the anti-museum crowd cheered about "liberating cultural heritage from the imperialist thieves).

Even if these places had stable governments and cultures which respected them, I wouldn't want them returned. Turkey is a good example of this where they demand everything back, even from millennia before the Turks moved to Anatolia, and have a horrific track record of preserving and researching archaeological sites.

I don't want any of these artifacts being returned to these countries except on specific loans where they are legally still museum property, because it seems to deter most criminal theft.

And if they fail to live up to their obligations, they're off the list and finders keepers applies.
