Imma make this quick, because if I write/talk for a long time, I ramble. Anyhow, we need a new forest fire week. There are a lot of shit articles still on the site, and this is probably the fastest way to find a ton of them and kill them, WITH FIRE! So fuckers, lets get our flamethrowers at the ready!

New Forest Fire Week?

  Might I point out the hypocrisy of the people who are voting "against for more VFD activity" are very rarely actually seen at VFD. Even after my own griping on the issue awhile back. -- Thankful Kippy Share blessings Bountiful harvest 17:06, Aug. 15, 2013

Proposition for Illogicopedia

If we're going through deleting articles like crazy than we're bound to find some articles that might be perfect for Illogicopedia; I've looked and there's a template for moved stuff, I feel like not only will this benefit Uncyclopedia but this will also benefit Illogicopedia as a whole since we'd be increasing it's article count 10 fold and saving all the articles that are amusing terrible instead of just terrible. I will try to spork a template for a "move to Illogicopedia" template for this FFW; in fact from now on I'm going to be tagging such articles as requesting to be moved to Illogicopedia just so the few said articles can be saved. After all, there's a better place for those articles right? It'll also reduce the clutter in VFD and allow it to save space for those truly terrible articles. Sounds like a good idea right?

Boner. Sir CuteReshiramOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0) • Stuy'16] 09:38, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Boner. Be sure to make a category that the template will put the articles into and make sure the admins know about it so it can be taken care of. We're also going to have to have a small review process probably because I don't want people to be thinking we can just throw any old bullshit onto Illogicopedia. Good for ?pedia as they're suffering inactivity and I want them to stick around. -RAHB 15:33, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

What will the criteria for inclusion (transfer) be? Sir CuteReshiramOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0) • Stuy'16] 15:35, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

A few editors who are also editors at Illogicopedia should probably decide whether the article are up to their standards. -RAHB 17:13, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

I can haz Green Eggs and Spam???

You know these spam pages we've had flowing in lately? I say we keep them and then nominate them for FFW for shits and giggles. -- Thankful Kippy Share blessings Bountiful harvest 16:54, Aug. 15, 2013

I think if you check you'll find it's mostly shits. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 18:49, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

image burning?

I think we should look in our multimedia collection, too. Images could be burninated if they are low resolution, poor quality, copyvio, pornographic, obscene, ... We traditionally look solely at text content (articles) even though our image-to-article ratio is currently 96,299 to 29,979. (This probably happened because people keep uploading new images without first looking in the gallery for images that would work just nicely – and are probably better.) Sir CuteReshiramOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0) • Stuy'16] 11:23, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

There's no rule or anything against burning images in the FFW bonfire. It has been a few years now since Lyrithya and I burned Special:UnusedImages to the ground; everything in there needs to be huffed. -- The Zombiebaron 18:23, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

oh yeah. How come nobody does it? (And by the way some unused images are good quality.) ｡◕‿◕｡ 02:56, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

It's a heavy undertaking and subjective in some areas so most of the time we don't spend much time on it. Also, generally speaking we're not deleting pornographic images solely for being pornographic. That was like, a big thing, remember? -RAHB 03:35, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, really the only images that are fare game for burning are images that are unused. If you encounter unused images that are of good quality you should use them on a page. -- The Zombiebaron 18:38, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Shabidoo burning

Could we use this opportunity to carry out the well needed task of burning everything shabidoo has written, his unsolicited comments, his verbial attitude, his annoying tournament and any and all traces of his presence on the wiki for once and for all?

Score: 4

• Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Please. --ShabiDOO 03:32, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
• Fuck yeah! LOL -- Mattsnow 18:22, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
• And what about Shabidoo himself? Anton (talk) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
• Yes. It is a must. --Happymonkey39 Dah Meme Master 21:17, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

  Llwy, no, of course not. Why should we not burn Shabidoo and all his belongings? It is he who gave us the idea! Anton (talk) 09:55, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

  Shabidoo has become intollerable and I think a slow death by fire is too compassionate! --ShabiDOO 11:19, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Incense burning

I think we should use this opportunity to burn all of the incense sitting in the back closet. It would be a nice way to brighten up the Forest Fire week and perhaps cover the smell of burning corpses. -RAHB 03:39, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Pee burning

It burns like Hell when I pee. We should capitalize off of this by combining FFW and Pee Review in some way. -- Thankful Kippy Share blessings Bountiful harvest 09:45, Aug. 18, 2013

• Boner. I'm not sure how that would happen, though. ｡◕‿◕｡ 10:08, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
•  For. The idea is cool. Anton (talk) 13:50, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
• I'm going to set your pee on fire after you wet the bed tonight. --ShabiDOO 19:12, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

When will this be held?

I think we should hold FFW during the week of August 25. I already started compiling a list of pages I intend to tag. ｡◕‿◕｡ 09:22, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that is the plan. We will start rolling out all the fancy templates and sitenotices over the next week. -- The Zombiebaron 18:36, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Why don't we make it two weeks this year just so that there will be more time to tag all the crap that accumulated? Then it'll be "Forest Fire Fortnight" or F-Cubed. ｡◕‿◕｡ 11:32, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

There's an article I want to tag

I want to tag Pokémon (video games series), but it's protected. (Bumping should be OK for this forum since this is FFW.) ｡◕‿◕｡ 13:31, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Done. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 16:12, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
