Is the section below that has just been deleted notable enough to be included under the "Mentions in media" section of the article? - Justiyaya ( talk) 11:52, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
On January 19, 2019,
American Congresswoman
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (
Democrat from
New York) tweeted "All your base (are) belong to us" in response to a poll by Hill–HarrisX that 45% of the polled
Republicans approved of Ocasio-Cortez's suggested implementation of a 70%
marginal tax rate for individuals making over $10 million per year.

I'm making a change to the text for clarity, as the existing phrasing may perpetuate a misunderstanding of what marginal tax rates are.
On January 19, 2019, American Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( Democrat from New York) tweeted "All your base (are) belong to us" in response to a poll by Hill–HarrisX that 45% of the polled Republicans approved of Ocasio-Cortez's suggested implementation of a 70% marginal tax rate for individual income over $10 million per year.

The marginal tax rate is on the income in excess of the cutoff, not on the individual as a whole, as stated in the original text, and this is a common misunderstanding used for anti-tax propaganda. The linked description of marginal tax rates is also unnecessarily confusing; I may tackle that next. JohannVII ( talk) 21:23, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Let's see if we can get this back to GA. I've overhauled the article to ensure it's ready. If anyone has any thoughts on this, please feel free to reply a ping me or post a message on my talk page. Thanks! MyCatIsAChonk ( talk) 01:54, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
In the game “Fat Princess” for the PSP, if your team captures every outpost on the map, the announcer proudly says, “All your base are belong to us!” Would this be a relevant reference to include? Semicolin1 ( talk) 02:09, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Will review this, should not take longer than a few days at most. — Kusma ( talk) 16:50, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
some other examples of text?
The first references could be seen in 1999 and the early 2000s when an animated GIF of the scenereferences to what? what scene?
user Bad_CRCuser of what? make it clearer that this is a username?
widespread media attentionwhy that many references? Better to have one that says "widespread attention" than to demonstrate widespread attention by many links.
The meme was addressed by Toaplan's Tatsuya Uemura (the game's programmer and composer) and Masahiro Yuge (composer) in interviews during the 2010s. HeBetter not to put the information in parentheses. Who is "He"? You just said it was two people.
Sorry, I don't think this is close to being a GA (but I did enjoy the trip down memory lane; I think I heard about this somewhere on Slashdot in 2001 or 2002, and Slashdot was full of All Your Base jokes back then). The lead doesn't fit the body, the writing is made up of choppy short paragraphs that aren't connected well, and you barely touch the flash video that went viral back in the day. There are verification issues, but there clearly are enough sources out there (and used in the article, but not exploited properly) to verify 90% of the KnowYourMeme article, which (while not classified as a reliable source per WP:KNOWYOURMEME) currently seems superior to the Wikipedia one. I hope my comments will be useful for a rewrite. — Kusma ( talk) 21:11, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
