Forums / Discussion / Meme Research

I was looking back at some of the earliest confirmed meme entries. Some of them are just a few words, or just an episode.

ITT we research these STUB entries and post the information that we find so that the admins may add it to these old articles, and make them more complete.

Who else is up for doing this? If you are, state the meme for which you shall research.

It's because the criteria for confirmation was low back then.

I'm up for this, be researching something later.

Also, sticky.

This is a great idea. Jamie also made a job ticket in our internal system about the need for expanding and improving these early entries.

Right now I'm going to go through early entries and create a list of those entries that are lacking in info. This should speed things along.

The following is a list of meme entries needing improvements. Most of these were created prior to the addition of textile editing, and before we had a set of criteria for confirming meme entries.

EDIT: Feb 8th, 2010: Moving the list of entries already updated to the bottom.

ROFLcopter:

Forget what I said about pasting your research into this thread. We're hoping to have a site update ready some time today that will allow up to 5 editors on each meme entry.

So rather than posting your research, post what entries you would like to edit. Once the update is ready, we will add you as editors to the entries needing help. You will also be able to add editors yourself to whatever entries you have created.

I'll redo all of the ones I did originally.

I'm much better at research now.

I promise.

I'll start researching a few this afternoon.

Ones I am willing to do:
-Three Wolf Moon
-Leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama

All right! We've got the multiple-editors update rolled out! Here's the announcement thread: https://knowyourmeme.com/forums/general/topics/3489--new-feature-today-add-editors-

@Watcher, I'm adding you to both of those entries now.

I'll take Nice Boat.

When I'm done with my current planned articles under my to-do list, I think I can handle tackling on researching the following articles:

- Raptor Jesus
- Picture Unrelated
- Caramelldansen

This thread rocks

Bump.

We need more volunteers.

ill do it

Which one(s)?

Okay, I added more info to the Leprechaun article. Not done yet though.

Working on my initial "bump" entry. So far I went back to 2000, with maybe something to check on the 1995 first Netiquette.
Will go further and add what I found when I'm having enough spare time to do so.

Also, I think these two need to be part of the Early confirmed meme expansion project as well:
