Flesh it out more. Generally speaking, a good entry will have the following:

1) Explanation of the meme – the form it is most known for
2) Origins – how it came about
3) Spread – how it moved across the internt
4) Significance – cultural impact and why it matters
5) Derivatives – how it has changed since it was originally made
6) Humour & interest – don't take it too serious or boring

Basically, you want to answer as many questions as you can about it. If the readers are left wondering about it and have questions to ask (i.e. how many people have watched the youtube videos, and how many videos are there anyway?) then you should probably include that. The difficulty with doing that is that it makes it longer, so you need to keep people interested and entertained. Also, not everyone can seen the videos or will want to watch them – include pictures in your article, rather than just lumping them down the bottom.

My best suggestion is this: read some entries, especially those in the confirmed and featured sections, and work out what you like and what you don't like about them. Use that to make your own entry.

good luck :)
