Hey who started this artcile, I put the in the news up. I did it from school, so I risked getting in trouble. You're doing well on the article.
- That would be me. Thank you! I saw the actual show in England, so i have some vague experience with it. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Now all we need is some photos.--epynephrin 18:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
This is the person who made the in the news section. I just got an account. I made a new prize.
- Nice. please do fix up the prizes. They are a tad lame at the moment. The only ones i'm desperate to keep are the two cows and the cannibalism one. --epynephrin 15:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'd like to note that I rewrote this rubbish, many thanks to my current girlfriend for the idea. I guess there's a really cool online game of the same title or something. --EMC [TALK] 00:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- ...uh, "Rubbish"? ...Thanks. I actually was slightly proud of what I'd written, but acknowledged that it needed a little fixing up. I also wrote this long before that game-thing came out, and refused to give the game credit because the idea was here on Uncyc circa last year, maybe earlier. --epynephrin 12:54, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Also, one of the things I did like about my original article was the Somalian overtones that were present. They really--I think--made the article. So, yes. thanks. --epynephrin 00:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- And, looking at the history between my last version and the current, I find it interesting that the only words I "wrote" that remain are a few "the"s, an "a" or two, and the article title. Your collaboration skills are fantastic, if "fantastic" is synonymous with crap. Your lack of response to me is also fairly telling. I'd honestly have less of a problem if I'd been at least consulted before someone comes along and goes "wow. I like the concept but am going to erase everything about this article and write my own based on a crappy flash game--interestingly after the article's original writing." I also don't care at all who showed you the game, it sucked. --epynephrin 22:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- I apologize for the erasing of your material. By all means, if you feel that your version of the article was better, then please feel free to revert all of my edits. I apologize for not responding to your queries; please use my talk page. Perhaps we could work on my fantastic collaboration skills together and make this article meet its potential. --EMC [TALK] 23:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

From Pee Review[edit source]
Strict but helpful criticism appreciated. --EMC [TALK] 00:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
| Humour: | 7 | This is pretty funny, and I really enjoyed reading it. It appears as though you just took text from the "Deal or No Deal" Wikipedia article and changed the words around. Don't get me wrong, that's perfectly fine; I've done it too. However, you have to make this less noticible by making the article more outlandish. |
| Concept: | 8 | It's a great concept, and you did a good job explaining it. |
| Prose and formatting: | 8 | Good format, overall. That table for the case values bothers me. But, on the plus side, your citations are actually funny! |
| Images: | 5 | Eh, this is not so good. The photo of the "Meal or No Meal" show at the top right corner is funny, but it's your only image. Try throwing a picture of a bum in there, or photoshop a bum's head on a contestent from the show. |
| Miscellaneous: | 8 | Article is a good one, it just needs a little fine tuning. Then it will be VFH in no time! |
| Final Score: | 36 | Expand the humor. That's really all that's needed. Make sure to add some good pictures (I could help with that if you wanted). |
