Rick Astley reveals: I've never been Rickrolled

Idea

Is it too unencyclopedic to wish that every wikilink in the article just rickrolled the person? Ohh how devious. I won't but its hard not to. Hooper (talk) 01:03, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Error in Article

I don't know much about rickrolling, but some of the information in the article is contradictory: "Lichtblau, by varying online accounts, treated his inner circle to surprise Rickrollings as early as September 2006, close to the inception of Youtube[11]". The citation given makes no mention of 2006; furthermore, the introductory paragraph of this article states that the concept of rickrolling was established May 2007. Also, YouTube was founded February 2005. --76.168.214.69 (talk) 10:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
