YTMND edit

My eventual goal is to get this article to featured status, however I know that is a really long way to go. My current plans include fixing all the bad prose, finding suitable references from the unreferenced, and get a comprehensive lead section written. Other than that, what needs to be done to the article? —THIS IS MESSED OCKER (TALK) 01:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After having run across this article a few times on RC patrol, I'm always left with the thought of "I don't get it." I know that internet memes don't follow any sort of particular pattern, but this one particularly mystifies me. I'd like to see something added (probably brief) that gets at explaining this site's popularity. No WP:OR, of course, but I'm sure somebody has written something about it. Why the huge appeal over such inane creations? Am I the only one confused here? Aaarrrrgggghhh!!! Tijuana Brass^¡Épa! 02:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In other words, the article should be stricter about WP:MOS DEF and be more explanatory about why the article is more popular. I'll get right to it as soon as possible. —THIS IS MESSED OCKER (TALK) 02:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It has unnecessary date links. This can be fixed quickly: simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work. This will give you a 'Dates' tab in edit mode. Hope that helps. bobblewik 18:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.

There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.
- - Thing is, there isn't a very specific group of people, and it's not very formally organized either. General people either believe in this, or general people believe in that. It's not as if these factions have any names, or any specific leaders, however they are all part of the YTMND community. —THIS IS MESSED OCKER (TALK) 06:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
