Internet Memes Used in Healthcare

Internet memes have also been used to raise awareness for common healthcare concerns. This was true of the COVID-19 pandemic as healthcare professionals used internet memes to spread information on the virus and also promote use of the vaccine. Allthewall4 (talk) 00:14, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Allthewall4, you need a reliable source that discusses the use of internet memes for that purpose. The ref you added doesn't even mention "meme". Schazjmd (talk) 00:22, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize, I entered the wrong citation. It is fixed now. Allthewall4 (talk) 00:32, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Origins and Early Memes Section

This section contains the line Video sharing also created memes such as "Turn Down for What" and the "Harlem Shake". Both of these were not created until 2013, and don't belong in a section about Origins and Early Memes. Wikaseki (talk) 19:25, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Modern memes section

Seeing how important the topic is to many subcultures, I think better sources are needed. Especially with the mid-2010s dating for dank memes, more exact terms, and the usage of dank to make those memes different from macros. GoutComplex (talk) 22:51, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
