Before undoing my edits please consider

Tweets from the brands using the meme are used as sources for the post, why should the official artist's Tumblr not be considered a source but brand Twitters are? Avienby (talk) 03:57, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Avienby Because they are not WP:SECONDARY sources, and sourcing information using only primary sources does not establish it's notability in the article. I believe that even if you did find a secondary source talking about Bank's merch, it still may violate WP:NOTPROMO, but it depends on how well its neutrally phrased. Oh, and you're completely right that using a brand's own tweet/reel/post would be a primary source as well, which for some reason I wasn't thinking about. I'm removing that information now. Thanks for the heads up, and cheers from another fan of chill guy 🙂 Johnson524 05:24, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bluesky source

Hello @Royiswariii: I hope you are well 🙂 I see you added an unreliable sources tag on the page, and I wanted to ask you about your reasoning for doing so so I can fix the issue and remove the tag. The source in question on BlueSky was made by the author of the artwork, and comments on the one mistake he saw on this specific Wikipedia page, being that his artwork wasn't based on anything like it was reported. I wouldn't consider this statement an "exceptional claim" that would violate WP:ABOUTSELF, but what do you think? Especially since the author made this comment on BlueSky as a way to help clarify some incorrect information on how he made his art, I think it's important to be kept, but if you still disagree I can remove it. Cheers! Johnson524 07:18, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Johnson524! I'm being neutral that the "exceptional claim" should be applied, however, Bluesky is a social media and inspired from Twitter and it's on WP:SOCIALMEDIA. But, if you want to keep the source, you should search some support reliable sources of articles on he claims. Thanks! Royiswariii Talk! 07:28, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I really have to edit some pages on Wikipedia because some of them are poorly written.

Hello, can you please specify what specifically you want on this page changed/corrected? Johnson524 20:39, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. FifthFive (talk) 21:36, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?

Usually we don’t make articles for specific memes without a good reason. Why does this page exist? 65.112.8.16 (talk) 01:38, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While a number of memes are not notable enough to covered, this topic had enough Relaible Secondary citations for it to be covered. Cheers! Johnson524 10:23, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

but does it really need to be here? many people talk about chris chan yet he has never had an article here Skunkiix (talk) 06:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Skunkiix: How does Chris Chan having/not having an article affect the notability of a completely unrelated topic? The vast majority of memes don't have enough coverage to become articles, but enough reliable and secondary sources exist (ex. USA Today, Indy100, etc.) to establish the notability of the page. Also, being a "b teir meme" as you stated below is not grounds for deletion. If you have any other concerns I'd be happy to answer them. Cheers! Johnson524 09:35, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

His name is "My New Character" and he is a capybara. HE'S NOT A DOG. HE IS A CHILL GUY THAT DOESNT MEAN THATS HIS NAME. Eggknight (talk) 17:31, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Eggknight: and thank you for reaching out! The nickname "My New Character" was removed by an anonymous account a few days ago, and has since been reverted. The artwork's name is Chill Guy, however, as stated by the creator Banks himself (please read the description section of the article). There is also no source I could find that called the artwork a capybara, with every source saying it is a dog. I hope this clarifies things, and if you have any more questions feel free to reach out. Cheers! Johnson524 04:10, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 13 December 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the history section, there is an incorrectly written sentence:

"The artwork only became viral later on August 30, 2024, however, when a TikTok user under the username "blitzerzz" made created an edit with the artwork, utilizing other memes at the time including the Roddy Ricch song "Ricch Forever", and the American adult animated sitcom Family Guy."

Wording used to describe that the TikTok user has fabricated an edit appears twice to describe this act. The repetition is the words "made" and "created", as they are used right next to each other. I suggest removing one of the two words and personally, I would keep the word "made" and remove "created".

Unrelated to the repetition, I am unsure if the referred post made by ".blitzerzz" (the dot is indeed part of his username) should be called an edit since way more often than not, the term "edit" on TikTok refers to a video composed of scenes and/or pictures with transitions and effects. And what the TikTok user made is not a video but what is more commonly referred as a slideshow. In the phrase I cited to be corrected in the beginning of this edit request, both of the citations (citation number 4 and 5 in the wiki page) used to back up the claims calls the post a slideshow.1 2 So I also suggest replacing "edit" by "slideshow", and remove "Another" in the following sentence or rephrase the beginning of it.

Lastly, is "however" placed correctly or should even be used in the aforementioned sentence? NoahRider67 (talk) 20:07, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NoahRider67: Good catch! The phrase "created an edit" has been replaced with "made a slideshow" in two parts of the article, and the dot has been added to blitzerzz username. Also, thank you for citing the phrasing of "slideshow", as I previously thought it could be used interchangeably with "edit". The only thing I didn't change were the words "Another" and "however", as I can't think of a better word to go in their place/I think they read fine now, but let me know what you think. Cheers!

I really want to edit this on Wikpedia about this meme character for a short time.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made specifically to this page. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cheers! Johnson524 23:22, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

really need to know why this is significant enough to have its own page

b tier meme really. why is this here Skunkiix (talk) 06:18, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original Image?

I found an image that purports to have been the origin of this meme.

If it could somehow be verified, I think it would make for an important bit to add to this article. OzzyMuffin238 (talk) 22:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OzzyMuffin238: This appears to just be an edit of the meme, as it was posted only a day ago. I'd also be nice to have at least one reliable citation stating this was the meme's true origin/inspiration, but as it stands, nothing suggests that Banks wasn't the original creator. Cheers! Johnson524 00:12, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OzzyMuffin238: So I was doing some digging, and I actually found this report talking about the alleged plagiarism allegations. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! 😀 Johnson524 00:17, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
