[edit] Internet memes

I assume "bad-faith" edits when wording like "quickly being applied to every picture ever posted on the Internet" is used. The Jack Bauer article mentions nothing of the popularity on the Internet (generally a prerequisite for being listed here anyway). I did a quick Google search on "Jack Bauer" before reverting just to be safe and it didn't exactly return scads of "facts" sites. Doing a search of "Jack Bauer facts" returns a quite a bit however (which admittedly, I should have done in the first place, but like I said, I wasn't really convinced it was indeed a good-faith edit).

Please add it back, and be careful with "jokey" wording like that in the future, as entries like that are sure to be reverted (you have to understand, we get stuff like that a lot on this article). Also, it's a good idea to cite sources, especially if a parent article doesn't exist, or if the article makes no mention of its popularity on the Internet. Without a source or a parent article, the entries are sure to be deleted by somebody sooner or later anyway. Thanks. Wavy G 16:52, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
