Humour:	5.6	Hi Improver! welcome to Uncyc man! Rick-rolling... is that where somebody calls you a name, and then posts a link to a YouTube video of a pale, homely man in a suit "singing" that he doesn't actually dislike you? Intro (7): I like it, except that a normal person coming to this site will have no idea what you're talking about re: Rick-Rolling. You need to explain RR in the opening paragraph: that's why it's called the "opening paragraph". Other than that, it was still kinda funny, actually. 1 So what is rick rolling? (6): Hmm, while I agree that Rick Astley is horrible, I think that the joke went on a little too long, especially since you have not even shown us the video yet. That math equation is too much, too: it takes us from Rick to "internets" to "lulz". Trim it down to its essential elements: what is it when you get RR'd? 2 How to rick roll (5): "We're sorry, this video is no longer available." Nooooooo!!!! Rick! My love! 3 Anything Else? (5): Wow, I didn't even know that it was so complicated! I agree with what I said earlier: cut out anything that isn't necessary. You have enough content, now, I think you can afford it. 4 So what now? (5): I don't appreciate the quotes, but at least the section is a normal size now. Are you a fan of Starcraft, then? This is quite confusing if you don't know what rick-rolling is. I think that you need to actually introduce the very basic facts in a serious manner in the intro. 5 See Also: get rid of this section. It clutters up an already over-cluttered clut of clutter.
Concept:	5	It's about time we had an article on this phenomenon. However, why do you feel like you need to parody it? I think it could be just as funny if you tried to discuss this topic seriously. Go into way more detail on the video, music, or Rick Astley than is necessary. I linked your article to Rick roll, I think that that's a better forum to talk about this than what you have now. What you have now has to focus only on the youtube video, which isn't as interesting. You, my friend Improver, need to talk about the whole genre of Rick roll. Are there any famous cases of Rick Rolling? What are the close relatives of Rick Rolling? You should stay away from talking about the internet in this case. Web-based memes can only go so far.
Prose and formatting:	5	This article was tough to read. I think it needs to be cleaned up only in the very basic of ways, nothing major. My major complaint is that you need to break up blocks of text into single-topic paragraphs. Everyone needs to do that.
Images:	6	Those are the only pictures of rick rolling you could find? Well, that's okay. I took points off for having a dead youtube link. We really need to see what rick rolling is before we can understand your parody.
Miscellaneous:	5.4	{{pee|5.6|5|5|6}}
Final Score:	27	I think if you took the time and had the patience to redo this article that it could be a prize-winner and much appreciated. Come to think of it, I'm surprised that there isn't an article on this already. Like I said, mostly redo the intro, move the page to just Rick roll or Rick Roll, and break up the paragraphs to give the reader a break. Good first article, Improver!
