This template may also be inaccurate.[Never Heard About It]
Uncyclopedia is not Wikipedia[wikipedia needed].

Uncyclopedia is the truth[1]. Therefore, everything in Uncyclopedia is true[O RLY?]. If something in Uncyclopedia is not true[O RLY?], then it must be corrected so that it is true[O RLY?]. However, this will never be necessary because everything in Uncyclopedia is true[O RLY?].

The Golden Age of Information: Pax Uncyclopædia[O RLY?][O RLY?]

“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][O RLY?]

We live in the Pax Uncyclopædia[O RLY?]: Uncyclopedia is filled with informative content of indubitable veracity[O RLY?]. This unmatched accuracy was a product of a most ingenious technique[O RLY?]. The Founding Fathers of Uncyclopedia foresaw that people would despise authority--that they will do whatever they were told not to do.[O RLY?] 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.[Never Heard About It]

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been found that The Onion provided false information about how much false information they provide, so this graph is out of date.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[O RLY?]

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

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[O RLY?], 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)[O RLY?]. After several days, during which screams of joy (at realizing the truth) were heard from the Palace, the truth-deniers repented[4].

Scientific Research[Never Heard About It]

Many studies have been done to prove the accuracy of Uncyclopedia[O RLY?]. 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%[O RLY?] 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.[O RLY?][Never Heard About It][Chuck Norris can't lie][suspicious quotes]

Cite Your Sources or Die[O RLY?][citation still needed][O RLY?]

Accuracy will save your life[O RLY?][O RLY?].[O RLY?]

To ensure superior credibility[O RLY?], (if you can be bothered to do so) all sources must be cited[O RLY?]. (Write {{cn}} at the end of every sentence that doesn't have a [O RLY?]citation[O RLY?]; It will show that what was being said is really a big fat greek lie[O RLY?].[big fat greek lie]) All articles that do not have proper citations will be instantly deleted[Never Heard About It] and its authors will be devoured by those scary rainbow things that I keep on seeing everywhere.[O RLY?][7]

You must use MLA format for some citations[Never Heard About It]. Unfortunately, for some mysterious reason that we cannot even begin to understand, the Modern Language Association has failed to create[O RLY?] a format for some obviously reliable sources[O RLY?]. For those, use these Uncyclopedia guidelines[guidelines don't exist yet unless you know how to scroll down].

Controlled Substances[O RLY?]

  • Hallucinogens should be cited with the following format:
    • Name of Drug(s). Dose. Last Name of Drug Dealer[O RLY?], First Name of Drug Dealer[O RLY?]. City Taken In, Year[O RLY?].
    • LSD. 200 µg. Guy, Some. Los Angeles, 2002.[O RLY?]

Electronic Sources

  • SPAM emails:
    • Last Name of Sender, [O RLY?]First Name of Sender. "Title of Email." Email Address of Sender. Date Received.
    • Wilde, Oscar.[O RLY?] "I am the truth"[O RLY?] minluv@newspeak.oca 25 December 2005.

Interesting People Whom You Meet[O RLY?]

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[Never Heard About It]. You can just give a description of them[I think he had two arms and a nose].

  • One Person:[O RLY?]
    • Description of Person. Year.
    • That Guy Who Was Passed Out and Smelled of Vodka. 1998.[O RLY?]
    • That Person the Martians Want to Get. 2002.[O RLY?]
  • 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[Never Heard About It][8]. This rule will always work, unless you have a sentence without the letter "e."{{cn[O RLY?]}} If that happens, just cite the source[O RLY?].

For example, let's say that you were adding content to the article You:


"You have a small penis [1].[O RLY?] 'You' has 3 letters [2].[O RLY?] An ant is absurd [3].[O RLY?] The last sentence did not have an 'e' in it [O RLY?].

If[O RLY?] you[O RLY?] frequently find yourself conversing with giant cats who terrorize cities, you can use the cat's wisdom to improve the accuracy of our encyclopedia,[Never Heard About It] but only if you cite your sources[Of course you can't!].

    • Name or Description of Demon. Date of Possession.
    • Ethereal Dinosaur with Multiple Horns. 5 May 1999.

    • Loch Ness Monster. 'Beware of geese.' 1873.

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