Semi-protected edit request on 26 August 2021

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

‹ The template Edit semi-protected is being considered for merging. ›

Please change the phrase "...the meme saw a resurgence in popularity due primarily to its association with Dogecoin..." to something like "...the meme saw a resurgence in popularity.", possibly adding in something like "that was boosted by the comeback of Dogecoin in 2020.

While doge did get mainstream attention because of dogecoin, it was already popular from a comeback in 2017-2018 from memes in subreddits like okbuddyretard. Okbuddyretard's name comes from a doge meme, and doge memes were so popular that a spinoff subreddit called dogelore was created by kirbizia, the person who made okbuddyretard.

Dogecoin did not become popular again until 2020 and it would not have happened without the ironic memes. It's false to say the resurgence is primarily because of dogecoin.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:03, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE: Look at the part where it says "Dogecoin did not become popular again until 2020" and reconsider. It did not say sources should be included in the article. They support why attributing Doge's comeback to Dogecoin should be removed. Furthermore, there isn't a source for this false claim whereas I have provided references.

PastelButterfly2 (talk) 22:00, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: The changes you're requesting are essentially the same as the text already reads. It does not attribute the meme's resurgence entirely to its association with Dogecoin, only primarily. ––FormalDude talk 23:10, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add redirect: "For the cryptocurrency named after meme, see Dogecoin." Billyfu33 (talk) 16:07, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I don't think anyone is going to reasonably mistake the meme article with the article on a cryptocurrency. The cryptocurrency is already mentioned in the article. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:15, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Doge (meme) → Doge (internet meme) – The article for meme is about an idea passed on from one person to another. The article about internet meme is about memes like this one. こもれびーさん_{Leave me a message!} 19:18, 26 December 2022 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE – robertsky (talk) 14:17, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose don't think we need to be this specific when there is no other type of meme about Doge. Soulbust (talk) 21:09, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose is there a non-internet doge meme?—blindlynx 21:37, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
