Users have tried to add a different images to this page many times recently. Can we decide on an image(s) to use so that there is consensus backing these removals? i said 04:50, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
← Well, technically there are restrictions on that license, so it's not any and every use. And there are other images that have just as good of a license. As for it being the ideal image, I don't even get what it means. i said 08:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh the depth of misunderstanding revealed in the above comment. It's like a previous commentator who, midweek, searched 4chan in vain for a caturday thread! 4chan has nothing to release or to license. And 4chan would no more undertand the meaning of the word license than God (or Anonymous) would understand the meaning of the word limits . Meowy 01:34, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

How is Time magazine any good for internet memes. It is quite obvious that 4chan created this meme like so many other memes but on wikipedia little is show about 4chan. 4chan has made a huge impact on internet culture. Maybe you should try reading about the history of the chans instead of what some middle aged journalist from time magazine that doesnt even know the internet is a series of tubes. Why even write about this as it takes at least a year to understand the chans and their many memes
I thought it was proclaimed that 'everyday shall be caturday' in the rules of the internet. -Anonymous --68.9.193.246 00:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Caturday preceded "lolcat", "lolcat" is a product of the noob media.] also how do i god damn sage here... -Anonymous --84.54.161.164 17:21, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
This is less a case of wikiality than a case where the popular press is using a different word from that the vocal minority of 4chan users is pushing. However, once again, sourced information about the origin of the phenomenon would be more than welcome. There's no way to demonstrate the that your account is a "factual" account without those sources. MrZaius talk 09:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I can has solution? If the article is about a phenomenon that DID start at 4chan as "caturday," then why does no one reference archived threads from 4chanarchive.org? It can't be that difficult to search for the word "caturday" and find a reasonably old thread. The internets aren't as difficult as you people make them out to be.

Let me preface this by saying that I don't have extensive knowledge of Wikipedia's policies, and I'm bringing this up as an honest concern. I thought Wikipedia wasn't supposed to reference itself, yet the first image does just that. Or another way of looking at it, I thought Wikipedia's content was supposed to be independent of the media it's being stored on, that the data should be just as meaningful if printed on paper as when hosted on Wikipedia's servers, yet, outside of the context of Wikipedia, that first image is not a particularly good example of a lolcat. Isn't this a problem? D-Fluff has had E-Nuff 20:12, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
← Ah, I hadn't checked the history to see the reverts. Sorry. But at any rate, there are only two lolcat images (that I know of) now, the other one was deleted. I dont really know how I feel about the WP one as opposed to the shopping one; I know yours, so we should wait for other opinions. i said 01:10, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
While I realise that WP is not supposed to be a link collection, I do feel there's a need for more relevant links to the cream of the crop regarding lolcats sites. As the WP article is ranked 3rd on Google when searching for "lolcats", a lot of people will come here to find some quality links, rather than browse through the abundance of trash sites every 11-year old and his brother have made. At the moment, three sites are being linked to and only one of them is actually worth anything (icanhascheezburger.com). However, any changes made to the links are immediately reverted, usually by anonymous users. Lasse Houmøller 17:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
That's precisely what he wants, and he's got solid ground to stand on. Arguably straight in line with WP:EL. Again, the only reason those other commercial sites were posted to the external links was that they were repeatedly mentioned by our cited sources. Please review WP:EL. MrZaius talk 16:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
For consideration: roflcat.com. The term roflcat was used heavily before icanhascheezburger.com pretty much made the term lolcat official in Jan 2007.
Also for consideration: ihasahotdog.com It seems to be related to icanhascheezburger.com.
Is it time to prune the external links again? They've crept up to a total of 11, from 3, and there's ongoing revert wars on positioning. TRS-80 (talk) 21:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
How about Catchan? --80.58.205.97 (talk) 16:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Not that I give a hoot - but IHasAFlavor.com gets my vote as it's the only one that doesn't make your eyes hurt when you look at it lol -Trevor
I Has A Flavor should be added to this list permanently. a) It is the only site that is custom made (opposed to an open source blog) b) looks good and c) It takes a much different direction then the rest of the sites. Thanks!
Any editors willing to help at I Can Has Cheezburger? would be appreciated! --Iamunknown 22:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Hard tellin', and doubly hard finding WP:RS to find anything to back up 4chan-related claims, apparently. That said, the vast majority of the posts to the site were funneled through the Cat Factory and the site itself is posted under a Creative Commons license (noncommercial, strangely enough). Unclear as to whether or not he asserts that the license applies to the photos as well. MrZaius talk 16:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
We really should use this image somewhere:

Hello ^_^ when i searched "Lolrus", it sent me to Lolcat ;_; I wanna read about the lolrus! not the lolcat! T________T ~ Hanii Puppy / !!!Chris!!!
Pretty sure lolcat doesn't count as a portmanteau word. x-ref with page for portmanteau. --64.9.12.65 17:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm in agreement on this. Lolrus would be a portmanteau, but "lolcat" doesn't sound like anything more than just two words butted together. There's no doubt a better word for it than the inaccurate portmanteau. Howa0082 18:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Either way, lolca
