Move Article?

Shouldn't the article be moved to "List of Internet Phenomenas" as that is the plural? —Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiMan78 (talk • contribs)

No, phenomena is the plural. Phenomenon is the singular. Jay Maynard 13:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Pron

Notpron was inspired by Pron. For all intents and purposes, the reason any and all current internet riddles flourished is because of Pron, so it should be listed as opposed to its offspring. The Notpron article is currently in AFD mode for a myriad of reasons, so there should be no objection to editing this. StewartDaniels 11:43, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but can the Pron entry be sourced? Is there any way, for example, to demonstrate ts popularity? A Google search is likely to be even less useful than usual... Jay Maynard 12:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
You're correct, it can't really be sourced using a search engine, and I have absolutely no idea how to source it. Anybody else who remembers it, feel free to help on this one. I also don't know the proper course of action here, should it be omitted until it can be sourced? I see other items listed that aren't sourced, so I don't know. Incidentally, I'm rather surprised to see that youtube and myspace are not listed on this page (unless I simply missed them), those are arguably the two biggest internet phenomenoms in the history of the web.StewartDaniels 04:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

In Fiction

Do you think the two charecters Ender's siblings create as their online personas from Ender's Game merit being added to this section? dimo414 06:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Chronological Order?

Anyone know if there a chronological list of the internet memes available anywhere? I think it'd be interesting to see it optionally organized by date and not just categorically... any thoughts? --Dankind 21:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Where the Hell is Matt?

Doesn't a link belong here? The video's on youtube, it it's considered viral... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.6.238.180 (talk) 03:05, 11 January 2007 (UTC).

I think that this is a phenomenon...

Ok..I edited the page with info about Delfin Quishpe (aka Delfin hasta el fin), an ecuatorian singer who made a homage about the twin towers tragedy, but because of the goof, was involuntary comedy...but that edit was deleted...maybe he is not well-know in USA or Europe, but in Latin america, is a phenomenon...I will give you some sources...in spanish...and a link to his video... What do you think? [1] [2] [3] [4] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 189.143.77.18 (talk) 02:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC).

"large woman" moshzilla

Not to nitpick, but I don't think the woman can be considered large. She might be slightly overweight but I wouldn't call her 'large' in comparison with the average american woman. Thanks -avigon (nsi) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.242.229.35 (talk) 23:59, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

Uncyclopedia

I added Benson, a user from Uncyclopedia, to the people category, but the edit was removed. I understand that a user from a website may not be as big as some of the other people on the list, but posters on other sites are included on the list of well-known people too (like Lee Hotti), and anybody that is a member on Uncyclopedia knows about Benson. Within a week of Benson first posting on Uncyclopedia, he was even given his own forum on the site (Benson's forum), and was well-enough-known that others had even formed imposter Benson accounts. I have even seen references to Benson on forums on other sites. I feel strongly that Benson should be added to the list of people, and if asked, I will find more evidence on Uncyclopedia to prove this. Jaybenad 22:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

HSOWA, aka "Hot Skitty on Wailord Action"

Is it really that notable?
