Semi-protected edit request on 14 August 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The line: "The meme began to grow in popularity after it was used on Reddit in October 2010 in a post titled "LMBO LOOK @ THIS FUKKEN DOGE."[2][8]" does not mention that the original post does not feature Kabuso, but instead an image of a corgi. An archive of this post can be seen here: https://web.archive.org/web/20101023170519/https://www.reddit.com/r/ads/comments/dsxz3/lmbo_look_this_fukken_doge/

The comments on the post also clearly indicate the dog was in fact a corgi.

Given this paragraph begins referencing Kabuso, it should be clearly stated that the original post that is referred to does not actually include Kabuso. Trevorchedda (talk) 01:48, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done The second citation given for this sentence says just as much, leading me to believe the first citation is incorrect, resulting from a hasty conflation of the word with the image. With the factual evidence you present being backed up by the source already given in the article's sourcing, I've updated the wording accordingly as you've asked.

You're probably looking for the Doge disambiguation page, which it is already linked on. Ringtail Raider (talk) 07:54, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
