Biases
- Contrary to the guidelines of Wikipedia, this wiki allows original research and has a publication bias favoring appreciative criticism.

- Geography: Europe, United States, cross-fertilization between the Anglosphere and Francosphere.
- Geographical bias: Eurocentrism, Francophilia
- If the wiki were a city, it would feature prominently nightclubs, record stores, a red light districts, museums, second hand book stores and comic shops.
- Notability criteria are different from Wikipedia's. They will be along the lines of artpopcult's POV; see these themes and sensibilities and keywords, canonical artists and theorists
- Body genres
- Preference for otherness and alterity
- Namesakes: importance of homonymy and paronymy are important and strenghten self-referentiality of the wiki.
- General: bias towards the cultish, the transgressive and the nobrow; stereotypical representations
- Music: bias towards black music and underground music, see category World Music Classics
- Film: bias towards cult films, a total disregard Academy Awards
- Fiction: bias towards cult fiction, disregard for Nobel prizes, a bias towards film adaptations
- Art: bias towards the transgressive, erotic, fantastique and grotesque
