Big news! I, personally have sent an application for a new Статья for Fanpop on Wikipedia! Hopefully, within the month, Fanpop will have a Wikipedia Статья for Ты all to check out and add onto! Additionally, this may help make Fanpop еще well known.

Boy, I can almost TASTE it- a big, beefy record of history about Fanpop's past, present, and future!

If Ты want to see proof, just click this link.

Just scroll down to the little Internet section.

latinlover yay good thinkin hun i cant wait to c it yay goooo fanpop!!!!

germany123 hasnt this been tried before!?

DoctorSpud If it has been, I didn't know.

waichingliu81 this is great news indeed. hopefully, there will be many other people discovering this site and knowing that with fanpop there IS an alternative to the likes of facebook and myspace. this website deserves more exposure and hopefully, getting an entry into wikipedia is the first step towards fanpop's impending popularity later on.

Snerkie Go [url=http://www.fanpop.com/spots/fanpop/links/876966]here[/url] and you will see that yes it has been tried before and such.

fanfly So what if it's been tried before? I say kudos for trying again! And good luck. :D

germany123 yes..just saying...people have tried...thats not a judgment thats a piece of information. i know pkmntrainerj tried not too long ago...i dont know why it got removed exactly..but he might be able to help and tell you..

Cinders That's super, and good luck, but looking at the Wikipdia logs, it would seem it has been deleted several times: * 12:50, 11 March 2008 Kimchi.sg (Talk | contribs) deleted "Fanpop" ‎ (Speedy deleted per (CSD A7), was an article about a web site, blog, online forum, webcomic, podcast, or similar web content that didn't assert the importance or significance of its subject.) * 23:34, 28 December 2007 Accounting4Taste (Talk | contribs) deleted "Fanpop" ‎ (CSD A7: Person/group/organization/web content; doesn't indicate importance/significance: It is an article about a web site, blog, online forum, webcomic, podcast, online game, or similar web content that does not [[Wikipedia:Criteria for spe) * 21:48, 5 July 2007 Anthony Appleyard (Talk | contribs) deleted "Fanpop" ‎ (content was: '{{db-web}}Fanpop (http://www.fanpop.com/) is a website made by Dave Lu, Dave (aka Papa), Cliff and Michael.

Just keep making the Wikipedia Fanpop page until they let us stay. WE'RE HERE! WE FANPOP! GET USED TO IT! WE'RE HERE! WE FANPOP! GET USED TO IT!

DoctorSpud :D

Jonapello23 yeah, I've tried to create it several times, but it wouldn't work.

hm94991 coolio. If they go through with it, Fanpop will soar! EDIT: And about the "already been tried" issue-- So what? Lets try again. They can't really ignore us forever, can they?

harold The impression I get is that it's not that we're being ignored, but that Wikipedia is very sensitive about providing ad space for corporations. As such, they're unlikely to approve articles about companies (or company web sites) below a certain cultural awareness threshold. Thus it seems to me that the way to get Fanpop listed is to get more people using Fanpop. For instance, Wikipedia's [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites]list of social networking sites[/url] uses Alexa's list of top 500 web sites as its basis for information. Thus it would seem that getting Fanpop onto that list would be a prerequisite to getting a Wikipedia entry approved. And [i]that[/i] means that we should all be using the invite and share link features more often, to get more people on the site!

Just Stop Asking

posted by Snerkie

Once again members of Fanpop new crazes are coming here and the same things are being сказал(-а) and done over and over again and I really think it only needs to be сказал(-а) once или not at all. Lets start with the list...

Question: "Would *insert name* дата me?"
Answer: No. It's not because your age, it's not because your race, it's probably because they don't even know you. So stop asking.

Question: "Do Ты know *insert name*'s phone number или email?"
Answer: No, I doubt they even have an email или phone number for Ты to call, no one here knows so stop asking. Instead Ты could ask for Фан addresses where...
