The edit suggestion highlights a factual inconsistency in the article: the Formation and Naming subsection states formation in 2004, while the lead/introduction and Timeline of Major Events use 2001, creating an internal contradiction. Research via web_search and browse_page on sources (e.g., Whitney Museum bio stating "Founded 2001," Brooklyn Museum retrospective "Ode to Joy, 2001–2013," Christie's and Artsy listing "Established 2001," Lever House and Phillips stating formed in 2004, Sleek Mag describing bubbling up in 2004 but noting 9/11 significance for beginning work) shows conflicting dates. The 2001 date appears tied to the collective's mythic/fictional origin (fictional artist's death on 9/11/2001), adopted as symbolic founding in many museum/auction bios and retrospectives, while 2004 likely refers to public emergence or group coalescence (e.g., Cooper Union graduates' activities). The article's use of 2001 in lead and timeline aligns with prominent sources; the 2004 in Formation creates inconsistency despite its supporting citations. Changing to 2001 improves consistency, accuracy, and neutrality without altering the backstory explanation. This partially incorporates the suggestion by addressing the pointed-out contradiction via targeted correction in the highlighted section. Broader issues (e.g., mismatched citation in Timeline to a 2004-source) exist but are outside this edit's scope. No bias or vandalism evident; the suggestion legitimately identifies a flaw.
