[edit] Removed "natural enemies"
I just removed the "natural enemies" group since I dont think there are any sources on this. Z00r (talk) 10:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] memes
the part "memes" is weird... "All your base are belong to us · Goatse.cx · Desu" - how is AYBABTU and Goatse.cx connected with Anonymous? both of them are not very connected with either 4chan or any other "anonymous" website as ytmnd --Have a nice day. Running 12:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- That was a mistake from me. I got over-enthusiastic adding stuff. I think that AYBABTU is actually related to Newgrounds and not directly to Anonymous. "Desu" is used a lot on 4chan, but, again, not directly related to the topic of anonymous, "goatse" is used by anonymous as an image to attack sites, but the relation is too loose since everybody uses it. --Enric Naval (talk) 06:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
What about Chocolate Rain? There are reliable sources (such as Mathew Ingram. "Who is Tay Zonday?", The Globe and Mail, 2007-08-15.) that attribute its initial popularity to 4chan. Ayla (talk) 15:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- It has the same problem as the other memes: it's not specifically related to Anonymous. That would belong on 4chan article as one more meme spread by them. --Enric Naval (talk) 03:38, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] YTMND
Hum.... I'm not sure about keeping this one on the template, maybe Walfulz is right on this one. I see that scientomogy.com lists them as a place to find Anonymous[1], but the "Scientology" entry on partyvan.info lists them as an entity separate from Anonymous, and ED's template on Anonymous does not list them --Enric Naval (talk) 04:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, from ED's entry on YTMND, it seems that it doesn't really qualify as reunion place for Anonymous. It did participate on a atack against scientology and other stuff, but it's more a place to be trolled than a real reunion place. I'll remove it now for lack of sources showing a real link. --Enric Naval (talk) 17:51, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] I removed something awful
Most Something awful goons hate 4chan and anonymous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.175.8 (talk • contribs) 19:51, 6 June 2008
- Can someone confirm or deny this with sources, instead of editwarrying with this IP over the SA link? --Enric Naval (talk) 00:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Which is funny considering they're exactly like them. JuJube (talk) 04:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Continuing to add this template to irrelevant articles is trolling. you shouldn't create a template and tag it to every article vaugely associated with anonymous. Killhammer (talk • contribs) 04:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- so, it *is* associated, right? :D --Enric Naval (talk) 04:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm talking about ALL the sites you have added this too. seriously this is abuse. Killhammer (talk) 04:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- If I'm reading this correctly, you are saying that we shouldn't use the template on *any* page, because you don't like Anonymous, and that associating any page with Anonymous is an abuse, and you don't have any source that goons hate Anonymous, right? --~~
It should be added to 4chan, 7chan, 420chan and encyclopedia dramatica as anonymous make up the majority userbase of those sites. Killhammer (talk) 01:35, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- What do you think of the last change I made? I made a new separate action for places where the actions are publitized and there are calls for action, and moved several links there --Enric Naval (talk) 01:49, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I think it is a fair compromiseKillhammer (talk) 03:48, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
