For: 8	NOM&FOR I like it. You will like it too. --~  16:47, January 31, 2011 (UTC)  For. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 17:14, 31 January 2011 For. Another of POTR's excellent code-intensive articles. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 17:24, January 31, 2011 (UTC) Withdrawn Nominally Humane! some time For. The joke is really just one, but its so well done I must vote for it. Dr. Fenwick 00:09, February 1, 2011 (UTC)  For. Funny, code magic, and it links to Microsoft Knowledge Base, another Puppy masterpiece. Aleister 00:56 2-1-'11 Its really good. Would be even awsomer if programed to give a couple different responses somehow...no? --Shabidoo 18:37, February 1, 2011 (UTC) For. Once again, Pup used simple code brilliantly. And, no, if there were different possible inputs, it would bee randomized. I suppose it could use a _GET param...  —DCCLXXVII (complaints • resume • • • • WP • UMF • GoogHelp • AWA • WA) 07:51, February 3, 2011 (UTC) For. Since the front page is tied up with last years articles for a while, could there be a few more translations? Still worth a vote anyway, however. --Sog1970 14:19, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
Against: 6	Against. I'm sorry, it looks like the beginning of something that could be creative and cool, but I don't think it is now. A lot of Puppy's articles have pretty amazing coding and are funny, this one really isn't either. I think the idea is a good one, but I don't see where the humor is, and the coding really isn't "intensive" or "magic". It is just a box with a smaller box that has the text, and a .gif of a blinking cursor, then the "translate" button link. For me, there is nothing wrong with it being simple coding, I just don't see why this should be featured. → I am greatSoup? 21:01 1-Feb-11 ←  Against. I dinnae get the joke captain Gen. Fudgem0bile Is playing Urban Terror 00:53, February 2, 2011 (UTC) Against. I, uh, wha? That, er, wha? Nope, not getting it. Button clicked, blank expression remained. --UU - natter 14:21, Feb 2 Against per what I said last April. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 14:25, February 2, 2011 (UTC) Against.

Comments	Abstain. I don't get it. 1234 ~ 00:49, 1 February 2011 I didn't think the joke was that subtle. Of those who didn't get it, dd you hit the translate button? Nominally Humane! some time It was very confusing. 1234 ~ 03:45, 2 February 2011 Yeah, I clicked on it, Puppy... I just don't get it. And even if you explained it to me, I don't see why this should be featured. If 1/3rd of the voters didn't get the joke, do you really think it should be on the front page? → I am greatSoup? 20:32 2-Feb-11 ← Only if 2/3 of the voters is a clear majority, and of those 1/3 not all of them don't get it, they just don't really appreciate it. Having a look at previous VFH noms for A wizard did it about 1/3 of the vote was against, so your logic does have one or two holes. But my issue is not about it being featured, but about what I thought was a blindly obvious joke not being understood, so that I can use the feedback here to improve it. FA or no FA, this obviously is in need of tweaking, at the very least. Nominally Humane! some time Sorry, I don't take part in VFH very often, just did a few of them at the beginning of the week, so I didn't know about the voting system very much. From what I read, all of the againsts, and Lyrithia's abstain all basically said that it was the joke that was the problem with it. I see what you mean, and as I said above, the biggest thing I have a problem with about this is the writing making the joke not apparent enough. It looks fine and you did a good job making it look like translation webpages. → I am greatSoup? 21:04 2-Feb-11 ← Okay, now I'm curious... just what is the joke? 1234 ~ 22:09, 2 February 2011 It's exactly what it says on the tin, a Fuckwit-English translator. As in "something that translates Fuckwit to English", ya know? —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 23:33, 2 February 2011 Thank you, but I doubt anyone was stupid enough to not understand that. That much is pretty clear. The unclear part, for me, was what exactly is funny about it? How does the rambling about an ad translate into "I am a tool" and all that rambling? And what is the connection to the ads everywhere? → I am greatSoup? 23:42 2-Feb-11 ← Rambling was a quote from a random vandal that was brought into the mix a little while ago, and the ads everywhere are to make it look like one of about 30 different online translator sites. The one I used as my model actually had that ugly pink background. Nominally Humane! some time 02:52, February 3, 2011 (UTC) Yeah, I still don't get what's funny about it, sorry. Are 'fuckwits' supposed to be funny in general? 1234 ~ 03:12, 3 February 2011 I hope nobody minds, but I'd like to withdraw this for the moment as there are more than a few changes I'd like to make to it. Nominally Humane! some time 23:21, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
