A fact from M+ appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 October 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that despite a legislator's warning to refrain from mixing art with politics, Hong Kong's upcoming M+ museum of visual culture has acquired 26 works by artist-activist Ai Weiwei?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2014/October. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/M+.

Reads like an ad

This entire entry sounds like it comes from press releases, even if it quotes news sources, which are chosen only for positive stories.

It leaves out the delays and problems that have been reported for 10-20 years. Some sections are factually incorrect or quoted out of context, like that the construction "topped out ahead of schedule." The debate about censorship is also missing.

I will take out obvious state/government lines like "a statutory agency of the Hong Kong government" and some of the easy errors for now. But this page could really take a larger rewriting. PumpkinKitten (talk) 12:20, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
