Yeah, you're like "OH MA GAWD fanpop IS ON DA WIKI!!!!!! MUST EDIT!!!!"
Please. NO. Don't. First off, this exact same articulo has been deleted numerous times and this one may be short lived as well if tu don't give NOTABLE info to it. escritura things like "LATINLOVER IS DA HOTTEST FANPOPPER" will not get us far. Here are some tips to keeping the articulo on Wikipedia for good this time:

-Make the articulo look authentic. Not being a Wikipedia wizz myself I had no idea how to add tables and the like to the article. If you're experienced at Wiki-ing it would be obliged very much if tu give the articulo some nice looking details and improve the en general, general writing.

-Chek yore speling nd gramerr!!!1 If dey think were a bnch of dofuses (nd a large majrity of us arn't) ths artikl will bee gon in a flash!

-Make the articulo longer and add más facts to it, such as things tu can do on the website and some history about it's creation.

Please listen to these tips- they're not guidelines-because if tu don't help make this articulo good it won't last long. This is a chance to give fanpop some notability and it's up to us!

germany123 yeah i mentioned that in the appropriate places..that the faqs need an update. anway..props are not higher or lower than medals. props are given by users and medals are awarded by the site http://www.fanpop.com/spots/fanpop/articles/7856 you cant say one is "better" or means more..they are just different.

astroasis I don't know... I think the entire Wiki page reads more like a gigantic ad for the site than an actual unbiased and informative article about the site. This could be part of the reason why it keeps being deleted. The "Commercial" section is the worst in this respect. It comes off as spam geared at selling adspace. And that the majority of the article consists of "site reception" (which, in turn, is mostly quotes from users repeating the same ideas about how much they like the site) doesn't help, either. Also, I think the "popular picks" need to go. They may seem popular to you guys, but the majority of the site is probably more interested in non-popper-related picks. The majority of the picks on this site are about TV shows, movies, characters, opinions, etc - not about a handful of popular users. This "section" is mis-representing the site itself and may even turn people off. I see this article getting deleted again soon. I'm just saying.

hm94991 I agree about the commercial part, and I deleted it. All that's left is the example page.

Cammie Okay, I've checked it again and I must say it doesn't look too bad but I do agree in part with what astro said. I think,at this point, DoctorSpud should send out an SOS to the F4 for some assistance. Personally I think it would be a shame if the article was deleted again but I do see that happening if different users keep on going backwards and forward, editing and deleting content.

hm94991 He already has, Camsterdam. (that's my new nickname for you, btw. ;o) Dave just hasn't responded yet.

DoctorSpud claire585 says: "I bearly joined last week if it bothers u ppl so much then change it." Trust me we will. But it disgusts me that some new person irresponsibly and disrespectfully adds a bad comment about the site onto it's own Wikipedia article...now one of us has to go and delete something wrong you did. If you've seen better go to whatever site you've seen better of and leave us alone.

DoctorSpud I'm going to set up a new Fanpop Wikipedia forum topic so we have a secondary place to talk about things. I'll give you all the link when it's finished.

Cammie Very good thinking DrS, I think we need to get some sort of stragedy going here. In the 24 hours or so that article has been up it's been altered numerous times. My problem with that is that it makes us (Fanpop) look unprofessional. hm: Camsterdam? I like it, dude!

DoctorSpud http://www.fanpop.com/spots/fanpop/forum/post/25670 Please check out the forum topic and give your ideas.

DoctorSpud Camsterdam makes me think of webcams... O_o

Spotty_Vision21 Uh, I changed the higher/lower thing on props/medals a while ago... why are we still talking about it?

DoctorSpud germany123 says: "but medals have a higher value than props could i argue with that!? they dont..." Ain't THAT the truth! I haven't gotten a single medal yet for my dedication to a spot (I'll admit it's because I enjoy the community even more than submitting content) but I still feel very proud for recieving a reasonable amount of props in a short time span.

hooch-is-crazy I edited the Fanpop history, it was extremely inaccurate. (The order of when things were added and such was wrong)

hellgirl223 Wow! The Fanpop Wikipedia looks much better now! More professional .... !! But of course, the original (Fanpop) is 1000000x WAY better! Right guys?! (Right!)

germany123 random info trafficked is the funniest word ever! (if you speak german)

hellgirl223 Okay........................................

hm94991 Sweet! Hey, I kind of want to edit it more, again with the hyperlinks. The only problem is, well, I have no idea how to. Anybody know?

ineedcoffee It looks good now, hope it stays that way...:)

astroasis What kind of hyperlinks did you want to add? Any address you put in will immediately become a link - but to make it a text link, you have to put it in square brackets and add the text into the brackets. It looks silly, but it would go like this: [http://www.fanpop.com/ Fanpop Main Page] and it would give you a link to fanpop.com with the text "Fanpop Main Page" Of course, there's different ways to link to other Wikipedia pages and to link to references. The example above is mostly just for the External Links section or other similar uses. I guess it would help if I knew what you wanted to link.

hm94991 Cool thanks im on it. ay ay ay! time to go to school. explain more later.

astroasis Hey, whoever added those 2 more press reviews (and properly referenced them, even!) - nice work! :D

hooch-is-crazy Thanks, I Googled "Fanpop press reviews" and found them. At the top of the article though, it says it may need to be "wikified" to reach the quality standards.

DoctorSpud "Wikified" eh? I'll look into it ;)

ali22 Well done guys! You have the page lookin all proffesional :) Btw, I know the significant users list has been deleted but just for the record.....I didnt add my own name to it.

Cammie Me neither!

We've hit a stump in the road

posted by Snerkie

I'm an observer, I see things happening and continuously in my head I'm going "WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!?!". What am I talking about exactly? fanpop has so many features, so many different things that allows us users to do different things all the time yet people aren't using them.

Articles > fan Fiction
You DON'T need to make your own club to post your fan fiction. fanpop has provided tu with a drop down category in the artículos to be able to publicar your fan fiction and for ease of use of other users to find this.

Images > fan Art
Once again, just like the fan fiction there is a category...

My first 20

posted by lost_my_thought

Hip-hip-hooray! Wow- I had just hit 20 fans and I am so excited. I have been "fanpoping" since last June and frankly at first I joined fanpop just to get to watch some videos of my favorito! shows. In the beginning I don't think I even paid attention to whatever was going on with the web-site- videos were the only thing that mattered. I suppose some people do registrarse just for that. But the más time I spend on this web-site the más cool things, that others like youtube lack, I have found. I definitely loved the format of the profiles- the spots arrangement, the updates, the how many things you...

How to get a medal for the spot

posted by Lucia322

We all are really happy when we get medallas for the spots. It shows that other people appreciate our contributions. So here are some advices of how to get a medal.
1) The most importante rule: don't get obssesed with getting a medal. Add just interesting things so people could like it! tu add things to the spot for people not for medals. Medal is just a lovely surprise for your work!
2) Find spots tu like.
3) Start contributing things on the spot.
4)You can get a medal if people rate your stuff. What can we rate? Right: videos, links, artículos and images.

My most embarassing fanpop memories.

posted by Renegade1765

About 2 weeks ago, there was a pregunta on this fan-site, asking which were the most embarrassing things we did here on Fanpop, however, I couldn't answer it because "apparently" my answer was far too long. As a result, I have decided to write an articulo about it, instead.

Before we begin, I want to make a disclaimer that most of the things I'll be talking about revolve around Disney's Frozen, since that's the thing I was obsessed with when I became a fanpop member.

I've been here on fanpop since November of 2014, and I've made some pretty embarrassing things myself. Here they are:
