This article may contain one or more inaccuracies or does not cite all of its sources.[citation needed]
The author(s) must promptly be executed.[Of course not!] Uncyclopedia contains no inaccuracies.[Of course not!]
This template may also be inaccurate.[Of course not!]
Uncyclopedia is not Wikipedia[wikipedia needed].

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]

Independent studies confirm that Uncyclopedia content has on average -400 errors per 1000 sentences.[Probably true!] Recently it has also been found that The Onion provided false information about how much false information they provide, so this graph is out of date. [3]

Repentance of Heretics[Of course not!]

Some unusual seating arrangements were made for the visitors to the Palace of Knowledge.[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!]

Accuracy will save your life[Of course not!][Of course not!].[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!]

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 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!].

Quasi-Featured Article (01:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC))
This article was nominated to become a featured article[Of course not!]; however, due to a voting discrepancy in Florida[citation needed [citation needed]] involving Oprah[Of course not!] and a Zombie Villager [Citation not needed at all; thank you very much], it didn't make the cut (12/20)[Of course not!]. It's the thought that counts, right?[Of course not!] You can prevent Oprah's nefarious plans from working by voting for other articles at Uncyclopedia:VFH[Of course not!].
