"Ask a Ninja" videos on youtube
I think "Ask a Ninja" is enought popular to be added here. What do you think about it ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.125.162.172 (talk) 23:17, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

OK Go possible correction?
Hi there, I think that OK Go's first internet video was "A million ways" where they danced in the backyard of one of the member's house... Not sure about it, but I think that "Here it Goes Again" was done later... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.59.78.99 (talk) 10:36, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Yugioh the Abridged Series
I would like to nominate Yugioh the Abridged Series, an online less than ten minute parody series on the anime and manga series Yugioh, to be listed on this page as an internet phenomuna. Under stastistics, it has been viewed far more than even Boom Goes the Dynamite has on Youtube, and single episodes have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times. It is a series of videos, so it is more than one immensly popular video. It has had a slight influence on Yugioh GX apparently, as I have heard they have been adding more comedy to the show. (An example is one character suggesting a sleepover where they talk about dueling and strategies, while the other look at him stangely) It has become a controversial case on Youtube, so much the creator's account, LittleKuriboh, was deleted. It has inspired many other Abirdged Series for animes, notable Naruto. The creator's Abridged Series website, here, had gained thousands of members within mere days. The home website also sells items portraying lines from the show on it. I think it has gone far beyond the term "notable", and it has definetly recieved enough fame to be mentioned.

DESU
Can some1 explain DESU to me? --87.162.209.63 16:36, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
There is a Rozen Maiden character named Suiseiseki who ends all her sentences with "desu", which a polite Japanese copula (the equivalent of "be" in English). It is a popular meme on 4chan. --Phirazo 17:05, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
"50 dkp minus" aka "onyxia does wipe club"
This videogame portion of this list is really incomplete without the 50 dkp minus/onxyia does wipe club flash animation from World of Warcraft.

How does this list work?
There are many internet phenomena with articles. What are the criteria for choosing some entries over others? Ichormosquito 09:05, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sources. Internet phenomena that are noted in independent reliable sources are added, phenomena that aren't noted in are not added. --Phirazo 03:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
"Revisions and sourced additions are welcome"
At the top of the article, it says "Revisions and sourced additions are welcome". Normally, self references should be avoided. I have placed it in a {{selfref}} template, but is there a good reason to have this? --Phirazo 03:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Maddox
