For: 11.5	I caught someone attempting to follow this pee review's advice. This made me remember that this is a pretty good article. RIP Hyperbole CandidToaster. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 01:29, October 14, 2011 (UTC) For. 98.117.81.213 04:10, October 14, 2011 (UTC)  For. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 14:44, 14 October 2011 For. -- monika 05:04, October 15, 2011 (UTC) For. EpicAwesomeness (talk) 08:29, October 15, 2011 (UTC)  For. I understand and I wish to continue. . 10:42, October 15, 2011 (UTC) Very much enjoyed this. -- Black Flamingo 11:41, October 15, 2011 (UTC) For. This is so freaking awesome. -   TALK What's it like to be a heretic? 08:31, October 16, 2011 (UTC) For -- The Zombiebaron 23:43, October 18, 2011 (UTC) For. Eventually went for a Weak For as I guess I am prone to Faux Historical inspired articles. RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:46, October 20, 2011 (UTC) Weak For. A strong start, kind of dragged at the end. Still good enough. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Wednesday, 01:25, Nov 9 2011 For.  ~  The*  (say shit) (My train wrecks) Π   ~  09:58, November 11, 2011 (UTC)
Against: 3	Against. Awesome prose, but no big laughs, sorry. Mattsnow 09:07, October 15, 2011 (UTC) Unlike Funnybony, I'm not going to abstain. I'm going to come right out and vote "no". This article is dryer than cooking sherry. It has myriad grammatical errors, mangled sentences, and ham-handed attempts at humor. Most unforgivable? Three fumbled puns! Goddamnit, but this is a travesty. Ok, so Romartus and some IP have fixed it up somewhat. Still not voting "for".  ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sat, Oct 15 '11 9:24 (UTC) Against. Sorry I know alot of work went into this article, but it was like reading a boring factual article instead of a truly humorous satire? Sir ACROLO KUN • FPW • AOTM • FA •(SPAM) 11:56, October 15, 2011 (UTC) Against. Not funny at all Funnybony    11:57, Oct 15 11:57, October 15, 2011 (UTC) The joke's that the Battle of the Alamo wasn't a "pivotal event in the Texas Revolution" at all. And now that I've totally ruined the joke by explaining it, feel free to vote against. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 13:32, 15 October 2011 Sock, are you sure you ain't thinkin' of the Battle of Cinco de Mayo? My mother and all the other Texians would disagree about it not being a "pivotal battle." Anyway, whadda you know about Texas hist'ry...I thought you were Belgian. :D  ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sun, Oct 16 '11 2:12 (UTC) Well, I'm not the one who wrote it and I'd be the last person to claim to be an expert on American history. But seeing as the blatant sarcasm was obvious to me throughout the article, while there were others who didn't seem to notice it, I just thought I'd point out what the article was really about. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 08:38, 16 October 2011 I...guess I still fail to see the sarcasm present in it...oh, well.  ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sun, Oct 16 '11 10:41 (UTC)
Comments	Comment. Abstain - I think this is an awesome article - for Wikipedia. But it doesn't make me laugh even 1%. Funnybony    19:08, Oct 14 19:08, October 14, 2011 (UTC) Comment. Re-edited some lines and added a few extra ideas. Can't decide if it is a feature though. RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 12:37, October 15, 2011 (UTC) You know what? I'm pulling a reverse-Funnybony. I'm going to abstain, after having voted against. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sun, Oct 16 '11 10:45 (UTC) Feature this already, dammit!---   TALK What's it like to be a heretic? 16:45, November 20, 2011 (UTC) Footnotes
