Important to call it out. I mean, if we don't have more rigorous standards of information handling here, it hurts our mission overall.
I suspect that the OP stumbled upon the video, which was posted 13 hours ago, and simply assumed that it was current BECAUSE it was posted 13 hours ago, BUT failed to do any due diligence to check, reference, or vet that assumption.
The excitement triggered by thinking that Jordan "just brought up" "a great awakening" and directly relating that to The Great Awakening are understandable, but such excitement needs to be tempered and refined by applying Q-type approach to information: check, verify, research, use critical thinking, don't just follow emotional triggers.
That effort on ANY person who posts to check, verify, research, use critical thinking before posting would actually save our collective board many, if not dozens of man hours each and every day.
What I find disappointing is that while the OP made an understandable if regrettable mistake in labeling the post "just brought up", that someone on the mod team apparently stickied it without checking or vetting or applying a basic filter of verification.
Is there some protocol by which posts get vetted prior to sticky for such things as accuracy, bogusness, etc?
The OP's excitement may have over-ridden a more based application of discernment (checking, etc) but the mod should be a backstop to see that such mistakes aren't amplified.
Maybe the mod team doesn't really have that time - and I wouldn't criticize them if this is the case, but I still think the question is valid: is there a protocol or rubric in place that helps the mods to do quality assurance with regards to Sticky posting?
FYI, in the services industry, one of the largest economic sectors in the world, all sorts of measures for quality assurance play a critical part in mission success.
Do we have a QA protocol with regards to stickies, I wonder.
Not expecting the mod team to be perfect, (thank you mods) but could this be improved?

Note: Last month, there was an average of 24 stickies per 24 hour cycle. (https://fatality-gaw.github.io/2023.10.GREATAWAKENING.WIN.STICKIES.RELOADED.html)
755 stickies / 31 = 24.
Average then is one sticky made per hour.
