    I know this pretty much already said, but this is a major win for pony-fans. It shows that you don't always have to be a bad-ass-action-guy-show to make a major profit and be popular.
    Next up, Michael Bay makes a action movie with a mediocer guy-actor hanging out CGI humanoid *squee!*y-looking girl-ponies fighting off a CGI over-scary-looking Discord, with poinless explosions everywhere. lol

    What?! Stephen Colbert talked about the ponies?! I so didn't know about that. I'm so gonna hunt for that. lol

    I have never made edits to Wikipedia, but always have wanted to become an editor for it. Perhaps this new article will give me some more incentive to create and curate the information that is available on it. I use it regularly enough when I want to look things up or get information on topics of interest.

    To be honest, I am a little bit shocked that we have become relevant enough to the franchise as a whole to deserve our very own page. Others may also be so inclined, as well as some who will see to it to blank or otherwise vandalize the page out of spite.

    Wikipedia is generally a reliable source of accurate and thorough information, although the fact that any one user can contribute to it hurts its credibility as a 'good' source for educational purposes. Some of the community admins on Wikipedia are also a bit on the overzealous side, so one should be cautious.

    :omg:But to sum it all up, I like it. A lot. Wikipedia is now 20% cooler.
    Won't be long now before we start calling it the ponynet.:derpe:

    Surprised? I can't honestly say I personally am surprised this happened, we've become a large part of internet phenomenon the past few months and have gained much notoriety due to our sex/age and loving the show. XD

    Yeah it looks like it, I guess they merged the pages. Too bad, I didn't get to see it :(.
