I just created my Wikipedia entry under the pro-ana section. I've added this entry to what they already have. I created the "Promotional Website" section. This is what I wrote:
== Promotional Websites ==
There are also independent "thinspo" promotional websites that have surfaced the internet over the past decade. These domains are specifically created to promote eating disorders (though sometimes are disguised as "anti-ana" and "anti-mia" with disclaimers written in the main pages) and often include the following:
*gossip about thin celebrities followed by pictures of them at different weights in their life
*links to websites of various diets and weight control products such as "Hoodia Lollipops"
*starvation tips*products that are sold to promote anorexia and bulimia, such as a "pro thinspo piggy bank" (every time a person wants to eat, they put their money in the piggy bank as a reminder to diet)
*links to music, lyrics and musicians that relate to body image and encourage weight loss*poetry and stories related to anorexia and bulimia
*pictures of not only celebrities, but men and women from different countries that suffer from eating disorders
*pictures of food and obesity to discourage people from eating
Such websites are not affiliated with online groups such as [[Xanga]], [[LiveJournal]], [[Facebook]] and [[Myspace]].
