Line 13:
* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] does the research on every game, system, etc. he reviews.
** Out of character, [[James Rolfe]] shows a ton of work in his movie reviews. He's especially knowledgeable about the horror genre.
* A small group of people on [[Nation StatesNationStates]] (mostly comprised of members of [https://web.archive.org/web/20131009093454/http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?act=idx NSD]--though one does not necessarily mean the other) love to showcase their work in roleplay posts and ''especially'' designs. This is taken [[Up to Eleven]] in several designs, the Ur-example being the [[Nak Ã]]­l, then surpassed by the [http://forums.joltonline.com/showthread.php?t=547939 Lince]{{Dead link}} (it takes up most of that page). If you have time to read all that, I ''pity'' you.
* The gamemaster ("Serris") of the forum based RP, ''[[Darwin's Soldiers]]'' apparently does his research when it comes to the sciences. Not to mention weaponry.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20110831160107/http://twilightsucks.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=twilight&action=display&thread=638&page=1# 46524 This thread] shows a lot of effort and research to show that ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'', no matter what the fans say, and what happens in the book, a lot of the actions in the book are wrong and the Vampires in the series ''don't even qualify'' as Vampires, [[Our Vampires Are Different]] notwithstanding.
* ''[[OrionsOrion's Arm]]'', extensively, critics of the setting's assumtions are advised to bring a solid familiarity modern science.
* Frequently in ''[[New York Magician]]''. There's one arc that opens with a detailed account of firefighters fighting a gas fire. Instead of just "they pour water on it", Michel's narration notes the use of foam as a suppressor, and using water mainly to douse any flames that escape the foam. This does beg the question of why a financial guy would even know so much about firefighting, but one can presume he simply looked it up between the end of that story arc and writing it down.
* [[ThisTV Very WikiTropes]] often falls into [[Did Not Do the Research]], but those are [[Natter|usually corrected]]. The [[Useful Notes]] pages are an obvious example, but one can learn a surprising amount of useful facts just by going on a [[Wiki Walk]] here. Now, head over to [[Television Is Trying to Kill Us]], [[CowboyMedia Bebop at HisResearch ComputerFailure]], or [[You Fail Indexes Forever]] and learn what television doesn't know.
* ''[[Small Problem]]'' has had a [http://smallproblemblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/falling-lessons.html few] [http://smallproblemblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/q.html posts] discussing the science of being [[Incredible Shrinking Man|tiny]], including [http://smallproblemblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/some-basics-about-square-cube-law.html this] one about the [[Square-Cube Law]].
* The ''Transformers'' Wiki in general applies this by listing continuity errors within episodes, even pointing out obscure [[Mythology Gag|Mythology Gags]]. ''Very'' obscure.
* Some roleplays such as ''[[We Are Our Avatars (Roleplay)|We Are Our Avatars]]'' and ''[[The Massive Multi Fandom RPG]]'' show this trope at times. For the former's example, in the "Revenge of the Spark" arc, [[User:Arcadiarika]] used her knowledge of ''[[Power Rangers]]'' and ''[[Super Sentai]]'' by helping to confirm the power of the [[Power Rangers Zeo|Zeo Crystals]], finding out how the Morphing Grid works, and creating the [[Canon Foreigner]] Lunara Knight from ''[[Rescue Sentai Go Go Five]]'''s Beast Demon-Hunter Sieg's suit and giving it to [[Gender Bender|Catherine]] [[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue|Grayson]]. She then did it again by creating the Red Legendary Ranger, whose powers are based off of Aka Red--specifically, she can transform into any past Red Ranger at will, from [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|the original Red Ranger]] to [[Power Rangers Samurai|the Red Samurai Ranger]].<br /><br />[[User:Hydronix]] has the knowledge of ''Quest 64'', introducing characters from the game and sticking to their powers.
* [[Warning! Readers' Advisory|Derek the Bard]] does a lot of research about the books he reads.
** Especially in regards to vampire mythology, as detailed in the Anita Blake video.
