[@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).

But why is it on Japanese Wikipedia then? If information is there, it should also be allowed on English Wikipedia.

Joey never fails to pronounce "prevalent" wrong and I can't stop noticing it lol

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

[@sulphurfetish464]

EXACTLY

He sounds different to me too

[@pochita7004]

I don't think so

[@sandilemlambo5701]

It really does, it sounds very light for some reason

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

[@kurokamikage_official]

17:15 it's in Ukrainian btw, which is even more interesting considering that mostly people from post-soviet countries tend to write in Russian on sites such as Wikipedia, yet here we are

[@89qn85mn]

Yes, that surprised me the most.🤣

[@dexterrkk3711]

Hi son, i did write your wikipedia. Hope you like it son.

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

[@gigitrix]

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.

[@PatriciaSigaki]

I'm 34 and thought anime had always been popular (but I'm also a Japanese descendant and grew up in a city full of of other Japanese descendants). I used to have Sailor Moon backpacks (and my brother had a Saint Seiya one). My dad used to watch some anime as well (also Brazilian born and raised, almost 62 now).

[@AkumaDayo]

Tbf Brazil has a high population of people who are of Japanese descent so it would make sense I do know for a fact tho that over here in the US, anime didn't really become mainstream til like say 2014 or around that year Before that, I'd get teased a lot for liking anime and manga haha Anytime I'd be doodling in a sketchbook I'd get asked if I was "drawing anime" even if I wasn't drawing in that style lmao Then the popular kids started watching AoT and I got teased a little less 💀

Congratulations! You got your Wikipedia page edited as of yesterday. Making it more extensive.

[@VnomGT_]

If you go to the "Talk" tab in Joey's page, the first comment starts with "I am Joey's father and would like the following edits made". So.. yeah there's that x)

As someone that used to listen to you and Aki's SBS pop Asia podcast, there are a few details I remember from that. So perhaps another listener from back then. Fun video, thanks Joey

I couldn't help think of Sheldon Cooper from 'Big Bang Theory' saying "Bazinga!" In the early 1990s, I remember going to Best Buy in the Bible Belt and purchasing the more risque anime on VHS. Cosplay and Anime were introduced to Americans at least a decade before that.

[@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…
