We should take special care to meet the highest standards of an encyclopedia with these articles lest they make Wikipedia appear idiosyncratic.
These articles are verifiable, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia, but are a bit odd, whimsical, or something one would not expect to find in Encyclopædia Britannica. Of the over six million articles in the English Wikipedia there are some articles that Wikipedians have identified as being somewhat unusual. Wikipedia contains other images and articles that are similarly shocking or udderly amoosing. Still, all such lists risk being deleted for lack of a neutral definition of what counts as 'unusual'.Ī cow with antlers atop a power line pole.
Lists of unusual things in Wikipedia mainspace (see Category:Lists of things considered unusual) should have an external reference for each entry that specifically classifies it as unusual, to avoid making it a point of view (POV) fork of original research.
