MTV Europe Music Awards
The MTV Europe Music Awards have been rickrolled when 4chan, as well as several other forums (I believe ultimate guitar forum actually started it), voted to have Rick Astley nominated. He accepted the nomination and may quite possibly win, which would be probably the largest rickroll ever. Someone add this to the article, I'm not sure where to add it in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.106.103.47 (talk • contribs) 01:53, 4 October 2008
Video
the wiki page should forward to the video or embed it in the page so they would be rickrolled.
- The purpose of this article is to provide information on the phenomenon, not to perpetray it ourselves. Users can find the proper YouTube link (and several variations on it) in the article or at the bottom in the reference list if they need to. Stoney3K (talk) 16:08, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
2002?
I just stumbled across this 2002 reference in an article about a busted child pornography ring: There was Richard Roll, a male nurse and former scoutmaster from Jamestown, N.Y., who called his pornographic films "Rick Roll Videos."[1] Don't know what to make of that. Could there possibly be a relation?--87.162.48.147 (talk) 10:47, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Barrack Roll'd
Why is this page protected? I want to add a segment called "Barrack Roll'd", which highlights the new video on youtube that has Barrack Obama (from various speeches) appearing to sing the song Never Gonna Give You Up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Epithanyseeker (talk • contribs) 00:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- it is protected so that people won't spam all over this or add something stupid. Estemshorn (talk) 00:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
April Fools' Day 2008..? Vandalism?
Some of the April Fools' Day 2008's data has lost somewhere, such as information about Kongregate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rickrolling&oldid=202976134#April_Fool.27s_Day.2C_2008
See, it's over there in an old edit. Kongregate uploaded a game called "Kongai Launch" which they said to be their new card game, "Kongai", but it was actually a Rick Roll. I am a long time member over there, and now I saw that it has been deleted.
So, could somebody please add it back?

EDIT: Oh yeah! Found it!
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rickrolling&diff=204659986&oldid=204659246
That's where it was deleted.
--Juze (talk) 15:21, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Somebody add this:
The online gaming community [[Kongregate]] launched a new "game" called Kongai Launch, which featured a special card to be won, once the link was clicked, the link led to being rickrolled.{{Fact|date=April 2008}}
I can't change it my self, I am logged in, but the semiprotection won't let me edit. :(
--Juze (talk) 15:27, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I was finally able to edit it. :) April Fools' Day is coming tomorrow again!

- No way. This isn't getting into the article. This article isn't a place for you to advertise. Until you can find a reliable secondary source to reference for this, it's not getting in. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 12:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
