Has anyone else ever noticed that Wikipedia and TVTropes often mislabel things that are not memes as memes?

EDIT:
Thank you for fixing the title!

That's where KYM comes in.

Exactly. People try to use Wikipedia and TVTropes (more) to force memes.

Title fixed.

And wikipedia says this is a meme.

But wikipedia can never be wrong. [citation needed]

But, we can edit it to say theyre not memes. Both of them.

I have tried on multiple occasions but meme forcing idiots always revert.

Do you mean EDiots? :P

I guess.

It's usually an unregistered user, right?
Unregistered users need to GTFO wikis.
Especially Uncyclopedia.

I'm pretty sure I know what you THINK is wrong with them: They're not INTERNET memes.

You can argue that their memes aren't popularized on the INTERNET but you can't argue the fact that most of the memes listed there are VIRAL, REMADED and/or PARODIZED.

I'm just stating my POV. Hey, I got my Spinzaku from TVTropes and it's still hovering on Submission…

Just an example:
1) That's what she said
2) Guevara (or whoever that guy is…)
3) D'OH!
4) Worst. [sumthing]. Ever.
5) Stupid. Sexy. X. "It's like wearing nothing at all…"
6) The internet is for [y'all watched that episode of 2nd Avenue, ryt?].
7) This is an endless recursion of time
8) Ah~? Nani~?(Huh, What?)
9) This is an endless recursion of time
10) Ah~? Nani~?(Huh, What?)
11) This is an endless recursion of time
12) Ah~? Nani~?(Huh, What?)
13) GAR <- So manly, even the manliest people came…
14) People die if they're killed
15) BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! IF NOT, BELIEVE IN ME, WHO BELIEVES IN YOU!
16) YOURS IS THE DRILL THAT PIERCES THE HEAVEN!
17) "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!!" ATTACK
18) You can't grasp the whole form of Gigyas
19) Everyone is X for Y. <---- Planning to document this.
20) Timotei… Timotei… Timotei…
21) X died for your sins
22) Screw the Rules; I have money
23) I'm in despair. [Know Your Meme] has left me in despair.
24) Making yourself taller
25) Summoning your Persona

I'm pretty sure there are other popular memes that will never be here JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT FROM THE INTERNET

This kinda made me lol

At the 2009 VMA awards, Taylor Swift's speech--

• "Yo, TV Tropes, I'm real happy for you, I'mma let ya finish, but Wikipedia has one of the best meme lists of all time!" shrugs

I still want a "Nani~ Mai Hunni?" but I'm not getting that.
Also ZETSUBOU SHITA is most definitely a meme.
