[@NuckElBerg]

The thing about Wikipedia is that they have very strict guidelines for what information is allowed to be included, more specifically that they can't use any information you've told about yourself in content that you are also the creator of (since it has to be "verifiable" and "peer reviewed" to an extent). As such, they have to rely on information you've presented in interviews with published sources, verifiable databases (such as imdb), and so forth. This is why they cannot really talk about your early career, since original research is forbidden on Wikipedia. For that kind of information to be included, you'd have to have someone write an article about you, researching your career, or something similar, where that article does the original research, which Wikipedia can then use as a source. It's a bit weird when it comes to internet personalities, but it DOES stop Wikipedia from turning into a fan-wiki.

[@arnsta9208]

Yes, many people don't realise this due to wp's reputation, but the rules there are surprisingly strict if you aren't a very active/respected user.

[@NexusBecauseWhyNot]

I find it to be a good thing that there are strict rules, but for somebody who only creates his own content and doesn't do interviews it's kinda dumb to have a barren wikipedia page but a 20 pages essay about their life on a fan wiki, doesn't help with the information about the person at all, only there to exist. Some people had straight up false information that won't be changed because "it was officially stated by a *trusted* source" (and for that I have an example: Tim Pool, known youtuber that presents news, had on his wikipedia page that he built a zeppelin, which is false and easily verifiable to be false, but writers and moderators would refuse to correct it even if he stated in other sources that he didn't do it, to the point that moderators kept it up out of spite. They took it down after he announced he will be making a zeppelin to make the wikipedia page accurate, as a joke).

I really appreciate Joey for making this video and observing motivations the human experience of the backlash. As far as Drama for current productions go think this a good learning experience for audiences. Oshi no Ko is Meta in all the Best ways.

[@Dark-faghter]

Is it just me or Joey's voice somehow sounds different in this video

[@sulphurfetish464]

EXACTLY

[@studiofandomonium1535]

He sounds different to me too

[@pochita7004]

I don't think so

[@sandilemlambo5701]

It really does, it sounds very light for some reason

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Totally amazing video and fantastic job Joey.

4:10 in the episode connor was telling about his experience of giving a presentation at his elementary school, you gave an invitation to your school to "hit you up" to do something similar. Then you quickly rescinded the invitation after realizing how nsfw your channel is.

On the photo issue they get very very specific about having properly licensed stuff - if you can CC license something or perhaps upload a photo to commons and assert it's your own work it can be used.

[@moniquegreen9567]

I had just looked up your Wikipedia page Joey.............I am IMPRESSED with some of the info about you.

[@Dappis]

Joey gonna have a awkward talk with his dad after this lmao

As far as anime blowing up in popularity when you were in highschool, I was born the same year as you but grew up in Canada and starting around when I was 8 or so the local cartoon channel started airing a lot of anime around 8 pm on Friday nights. Shows like Naruto, Bleach, FMA, .hack//Sign, Inuyasha, Zatch Bell, One Piece, Eureka Seven, etc. With Dragonball Z and Pokemon so ingrained into the consciousness of that generation (+ digimon, yugioh, etc.) I think everyone I knew growing up watched anime, even if it was just mainstream shows. The idea of anime as weird or unusual would be unthinkable and it blows my mind that you were in highschool with kids that had never watched any anime in their entire lives.

In Croatia, there's actually a solid community of anime/manga fans and appreciators of Japanese culture, that is actually quite big, relative to the country's size and population. There's also a con (Pandakon) that is held yearly, I believe. There are also two universities in the country (Zagreb and Pula, I believe) that offer university education in Japanese language and culture (as well as Chinese, in Zagreb). The community is really dedicated, so I don't find it as surprising that there is a page about Joey in Croatian :D Also take into account that there is a large community of Croatians who emigrated to Australia sometime during the previous century, one example being Lorde (her mother is of Croatian descent and our previous president awarded Lorde with a honorary citizenship) :D Congrats, Joey! :D

[@Kolket1389]

We have that sort of thing in Serbia too. There is actually a famous language gymnasium in a city called Sremski Karlovci where people can start learning Japanese language and culture in high school! Also I was really surprised to find out that there is quite a large anime/manga community. I honestly thought this type of stuff hasn't caught on here in the Balkans, but I guess it has...

@@Kolket1389 Now you guys in the Balkans just need to watch Attack on Titan so you stop killing each other

[@lucedrobac]

@@Kolket1389 oh, that's actually really cool! In Croatian linguistic gymnasiums ("jezična gimnazija"), depending in the region of the country, you'll probably be offered one of the more "popular" languages, such as German, Italian or French. The only case that stands out from this, as far as I can remember, is one gymnasium from northern Croatia that sent their students to an Esperanto competition somewhere in Europe :D but that sounds very extracurricular-y and probably depends exclusively on the good will of a teacher or two who organised their time for teaching Esperanto. As far as the anime/manga community, I believe there were actually more activities a couple of years ago, compared to now, due to the pandemic, but hopefully it'll pick up again soon :D

[@samuraijosh1595]

Croatia counts as Eastern Europe right? I've been noticing this... I find it suprising that anime is decently more popular in Eastern Europe than Western Europe. Anime/manga culture hasn't picked up properly yet in UK, Germany, etc. But it's quite popular in spain, France and Portugal which are exceptions to this trend.

I don’t know about Australia, but we were watching anime on Adult Swim in the US back in 2002. We’d have to go rent anime from specialty game stores. It’s been interesting to see it so mainstream with my kids’ generation.

[@TimoKanal]

Hey Joey, something seems wrong with the bitrate. The video looks quite "blocky" even at 4k. Don't know if it's just for the camera though.

[@MarzoAlive]

I thought it was my internet 😅

[@ydopeoplelovetotalk]

Indeed!!

[@samuraijosh1595]

Same problem.

[@pinkywholng6421]

Same, I tried changing the res, still looked like a choppy dvd

[@yiqingtan4079]

I love how here I am 3 days later, and Wiki has actually effected some changes as commented by Joey

[@jjpark98]

Whoever made or edits Joey's wikipedia page is going to see this video and change or add a lot of stuff (hopefully)

[@ravenwraith1017]

Oh, counting by the number of recent and rapid-fire edit reversions the past few hours, that’s definitely been attempted. I feel sorry for the senior editors who are taking down copyrighted images as they are uploaded in particular…Joey may not mind having an image of himself up, but that doesn’t change one of the biggest legal rules on Wikipedia…

[@snow.flower]

I checked his wikipidia, and there’s not only a picture now, but also a VERY EXTENSIVE career description!!!

[@Setton-kl2sj]

Joey, the last article was not Russian but in Ukrainian.

[@TheDVDwr]

To be fair both Russian and Ukrainian uses a variant of the Cyrillic script so I can't blame him, one can confuse Japanese with Chinese.

[@Setton-kl2sj]

@@TheDVDwr lt understandable, but I wish he do a little research before saying.

[@awa8757]

@@Setton-kl2sj how lol, study Cyrillic? To be fair most of us would think that is Russian too before somebody from Ukraine point out. Just like Malaysian, Indonesian and Filipino, how can you tell apart if you aren't actually studying the language or a person from that country?

You can only upload photos you made on Wikipedia, so you can't just take a photo from Google Image search because you don't own the copyright to allowed it to be included in Wikipedia. So it would have to be family or friends or someone who you probably met at a convention. 4:55 well, that list is alphabetically. 12:59 I checked it was added by someone from an Australian IP-address in 2020 15:12 what is interesting is how the date of you moving was on there way before the part about your father. By someone from the same Autralian ISP.

The fact that your own family leaked your information is so hilarious like im weezing
