Uncyclopedia:Accuracy
This template may also be inaccurate.[Of course not!]
Uncyclopedia is the truth[1]. Therefore, everything in Uncyclopedia is true[Of course not!]. If something in Uncyclopedia is not true[Of course not!], then it must be corrected so that it is true[Of course not!]. However, this will never be necessary because everything in Uncyclopedia is true[Of course not!].
The Golden Age of Information: Pax Uncyclopædia[Of course not!][Of course not!]
“It makes me want to scream, shout, celebrate, cry and laugh, to know that I live in the Age of Uncyclopedia, the most glorious period of human history, in which all is illuminated.”
– Oscar Wilde on Pax Uncyclopædia[Lincoln said that][Of course not!]
We live in the Pax Uncyclopædia[Of course not!]: Uncyclopedia is filled with informative content of indubitable veracity[Of course not!]. This unmatched accuracy was a product of a most ingenious technique[Of course not!]. The Founding Fathers of Uncyclopedia foresaw that people would despise authority--that they will do whatever they were told not to do.[Of course not!] So, the Founders, in their infinite wisdom, used reverse psychology[2] They asked for the world to write nonsense or humor and received Pure Knowledge instead.[yeah, right]
Repentance of Heretics[Of course not!]
Some have questioned the factual accuracy of Uncyclopedia.[peace and prayers be upon it] In September 2000, they were invited to a friendly debate with the Lord High Inquisitor in the Palace of Knowledge[Of course not!], a medieval torture chamber purchased by the Uncyclomedia Foundation and converted into a luxurious dining hall, complete with amenities such as warmed chairs and electrical stimulation devices for the resuscitation of those who have fainted (physically or metaphorically)[Of course not!]. After several days, during which screams of joy (at realizing the truth) were heard from the Palace, the truth-deniers repented[4].
Scientific Research[yeah, right]
Many studies have been done to prove the accuracy of Uncyclopedia[Of course not!]. According to the prestigious pee-reviewed journal Phallological Transactions of the Society for Marine Astronomy, Uncyclopedia contains up to 23.8% fewer errors than the Iraqi Ministry of Information[5] The Uncyclomedia Foundation also performed its own objective study, which found that 103.8532%[Of course not!] of the information in Uncyclopedia was "250% true." [6] Chuck Norris read this article for scientific research, and concluded it was over 9000% true, which then promptly caused him to time-travel five hundred years into the past.[Of course not!][yeah, right][Chuck Norris can't lie][suspicious quotes]
Cite Your Sources or Die[Of course not!][citation still needed][Of course not!]
To ensure superior credibility[Of course not!], (if you can be bothered to do so) all sources must be cited[Of course not!]. (Write {{cn}} at the end of every sentence that doesn't have a [Of course not!]citation[Of course not!]; It will show that what was being said is really a big fat greek lie[Of course not!].[big fat greek lie]) All articles that do not have proper citations will be instantly deleted[yeah, right] and its authors will be devoured by those scary rainbow things that I keep on seeing everywhere.[Of course not!][7]
You must use MLA format for some citations[yeah, right]. Unfortunately, for some mysterious reason that we cannot even begin to understand, the Modern Language Association has failed to create[Of course not!] a format for some obviously reliable sources[Of course not!]. For those, use these Uncyclopedia guidelines[guidelines don't exist yet unless you know how to scroll down].
Controlled Substances[Of course not!]
- Hallucinogens should be cited with the following format:
- Name of Drug(s). Dose. Last Name of Drug Dealer[Of course not!], First Name of Drug Dealer[Of course not!]. City Taken In, Year[Of course not!].
- LSD. 200 µg. Guy, Some. Los Angeles, 2002.[Of course not!]
- Non-hallucinogenic[Of course not!] drugs[Of course not!] are[Of course not!] not[Of course not!] considered[Of course not!] as [Of course not!]accurate[Of course not!] as hallucinogenic drugs[...more nee..]. However, you may cite them with the same format as hallucinogens provided that you take a very large dose[...Flying hello ok...]. To figure out what that dose would be, take hallucinogens and ask whomever you meet during your trip[....what...am.[]..I...here].
Electronic Sources
- SPAM emails:
- Last Name of Sender, [Of course not!]First Name of Sender. "Title of Email." Email Address of Sender. Date Received.
- Wilde, Oscar.[Of course not!] "I am the truth"[Of course not!] minluv@newspeak.oca 25 December 2005.
Interesting People Whom You Meet[Of course not!]
For the protection of the privacy of the valuable experts who serve the greater good of our society, Uncyclopedia does not require that you provide the name of your sources[yeah, right]. You can just give a description of them[I think he had two arms and a nose].
- One Person:[Of course not!]
- Description of Person. Year.
- That Guy Who Was Passed Out and Smelled of Vodka. 1998.[Of course not!]
- That Person the Martians Want to Get. 2002.[Of course not!]
- One person being channeled through another person through the nether realm or the Netherlands or whatever...:
- Last Name of Channeler, First Name. Name of Person Channeled. Means of Channeling. Year.
- Frenya, Skeezo. Chief Jaguar-on-Crack of the Ancient Toltecs. Yahoo Messenger (Occult Edition). 1998.
When Should I Cite Sources?
A good rule of thumb to follow is to always cite sources when you have a sentence with the letter "e" in it[yeah, right][8]. This rule will always work, unless you have a sentence without the letter "e."{{cn[Of course not!]}} If that happens, just cite the source[Of course not!].
For example, let's say that you were adding content to the article You:
"You have a small penis [1].[Of course not!] 'You' has 3 letters [2].[Of course not!] An ant is absurd [3].[Of course not!] The last sentence did not have an 'e' in it [Of course not!].
