Wikipetan pic to use as example? edit

We have a Wikipetan pic as an example for catgirl, and I think we used that pic of Jimbo from the old donation banner to make an example for another meme. Why can't we put a few Wikipetan and/or Jimbo pics together to make a "is this Loss" example? Lojbanist remove cattle from stage 20:51, 28 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

You might have to suggest this at Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan. GamerPro64 00:47, 29 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Reason for minimalism edit

It would be worthwhile to have the article reflect that the reason for the minimalist/abstract nature of the parodies originally started in order to skirt around the bans for posting the strip in 4chan. This followed in the steps of an older infamous 4chan meme, "Piccolo Dick", which also became banned there and resulted in a similar minimalist/abstract ban-skirting trend (in this one, the ultra-minimalistic representation was simply one green pixel and one purple pixel). However, I have no source to back this claim. 200.2.124.162 (talk) 15:17, 3 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

That makes it original research, pretty much by definition. DS (talk) 15:01, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Spike edit

There was a big spike in readership yesterday making this the #2 read article. I wonder why? Andrew🐉(talk) 11:07, 23 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Andrew Davidson Could it be because of House of the Dragon? I haven't watched it but the synopsis of the first episode says a female character dies giving birth and the baby does not survive 86.15.177.182 (talk) 19:46, 23 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
