I'm about to write an UnNews article. But first, I want to know how I'll be able to get it that much-needed front page attention. – Preceding unsigned comment added by Taco Wiz (talk • contribs)

There's a template called Template:RecentUnNews. You edit it per the instructions in order to add your story to the front page. --Mr. Monkey Pant-hoot here. 00:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

However, Taco Wiz, make sure that the UnNews is of high quality. The UnNewses that make it "in the news" are often very good. So I would recommend writing several articles before you go ahead and put them on the front page. It took me twenty before I started putting them on the front page, so perhaps you should tune in your skills like I did. ~ Readmesoon

PS, look at me now, I'm nominated for the Foolitzer Prize for the best UnNEws writer, along with Monkey Brains up there. Just a tip that you should tone in those skills!~ Readmesoon

RMS has a point, actually, Taco, I would have a few of your first UnNewses submitted to Pee Review first, then put them up. --Mr. Monkey Pant-hoot here. 00:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Repeating what I said on the big VFD debate, putting something on the recent Unnews bit has nothing to do with honing your skill. Unless it's obvious crap, as long as the writer put in an honest effort to write it, it is good. Some have the need to work on their skills, some drop those couple of lines with their first article. Both are fine. ~ 16:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I put my grocery list there. How else would I remember to buy beans? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 17:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
