Conservation Week 2007-B
Zombiebaron
Well, I've probably deleted over 100 pages this week, thus "fixing" them "up". The best possible style of clean is spotless, which is my goal, and my accomplishment. -- The Zombiebaron 21:20, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Dude, the whole idea of this thing is so we DON'T have to delete pages, but can still keep a level of quality. Deletion is an FFW thing, and nobody, especially no admins, supported that, so the good users have gone around that level of the bureaucracy. CW 4 LIFE!

- Well, I'm sure there's one admin who supported FFW. Plus, I think my whole "new take" on this Conservation Week thing is much more creative than the way that I'm supposed to participate. But then again, I would. -- The Zombiebaron 22:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- It's not like THE and I (the coordinators) are going to let him get an award for deleting rather than rewriting. "users who do the most rewrites below get a prestigious award for Uncyclopedia which we will call the the Greasy Mechanic Award". Deleting is not rewriting, it's deleting. The prefix "re" suggests "again", meaning a rewrite is writing something again. You aren't writing an article again by deleting. You're just deleting. Also there is another rule "Make your rewrite better than the article replaced before it, but try to include funny material from the old page.". Since the word rewrite is used, any deletions you've made of old articles are voided as actual counts toward the article count. " ~

7/09/2007 @ 22:47- Sorry about that, I was a bit unclear in my response, I meant that when another FFW was suggested, nobody supported it. It was a forum topic somewhere, but I forget when it was from and what it was called. P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 23:05, Sep 7, 2007
- Wow Jocke. I could argue with you, but you've obviously put alot of effort into this whole thing, so I'll just quit while I'm not behind very much. Also, LBJ, it's almost been a year (November 2006 was the last one) since we had a FFW. I think support has probably increased since the idea was last put forward. -- The Zombiebaron 14:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- If you want to go on a personal huffing spree, go ahead. But FFW and CW aren't the same, and shouldn't be counted as such. If you want to have a score on here, you'll have to do some rewrites. If you don't want to, that's fine, but don't expect mass huffing to count towards a score of any sort. --THE 04:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah... Anyways, what I meant was this forum. P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 04:12, Sep 9, 2007
- Way to go THE. I'm glad that you feel that a day after me and Jocke worked it out you still need to rub my nose in it. Also, I move that we hand out awards at the next FFW. -- The Zombiebaron 18:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry if I offended you, Zombiebaron, it wasn't my intention :(. I just have a compulsive need to express my opinions all the time, no matter how outdated the argument is. As for awards during FFW, I'm game, though I wasn't here for our last FFW so I don't know much about how it works. --THE 20:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yah, I think Foreman will beat the crap out of Ali. It's a sure thing. Also, the shear fact that we have users who don't remember FFW is reason alone to have some. -- The Zombiebaron 22:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
