    Naked people exist, and might be used to illustrate an article about, say, nudism. Any page will never be 100% correct (except List of Pokémon characters). Articles about ongoing ethnic feuds are subject to ongoing feuds between ethnic groups. Some articles are crap (but you can fix it, what are you waiting for?!).
