Hello, I'm interested in crime-related articles, as that subject isn't covered as extensively as most others are. I also fix typos on occasion.

I am opposed to "In popular culture" and "Misinformation and conspiracy theories" sections being on articles, as they are increasingly hogging up space with useless, unencyclopedic information. The way I see it, if something is referenced frequently enough in pop culture for the referencing itself to be deemed noteworthy, it should have its own article (e.g., Titanic in popular culture) or be left out entirely. "In popular culture" sections are a space for users to build a collection of self-promotion and all mentions of the topic in obscure podcasts and B movies until another editor comes by and decides to clean it up (this rarely happens). Likewise, "Misinformation" sections are a quick way to fill a page with paragraphs of "Did you know someone out there believes false things about a recent event?" Unless these beliefs have historic or cultural significance, why bother?
