I'm not into fighting with somone who feels they "own" a page, but I would suggest in the future that you consider edits to be constructive and edit the new wording, rather than just reverting to your preferred language. It's a project, not a property. 12.34.92.90 ( talk) 13:34, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Considering the fact that Unruly Media is a reliable source for statistics and information about viral videos, I consider this discussion closed. Viriditas ( talk) 09:54, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
The lede fails completely to mention anything other than this is a video. There is absolutely no description of the content of the video, which makes the lede pretty weak. Since my attempt to fix this was reverted, if you could please address it that would be great. Otherwise I'll propose the same wording, at least mentioning what it is a video about. 213.1.213.131 ( talk) 23:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
