Gulag
From QuickVFD. Rewritten.
Rewrite --Rcmurphy 16:18, 15 May 2005 (EDT)
Rewrite- You had me until the "sews the seeds" and mention of "sweatshops" --Repairman Jack 11:50, 16 May 2005 (EDT)
<>s<>Psh.... Granted, the "preparation of Gulag Pie" section is horrible, but that doesn't seem grounds for deletion. I thought the first bit was rather clever when I wrote it, but if nobody else does I suppose I don't have any objections to it being deleted. --Spintherism 20:05, 16 May 2005 (EDT)<>/s<>
I rewrote it and took that nasty sneering Mr. T. off. It's much better now. (In my opinion, at least)--Spintherism 22:59, 16 May 2005 (EDT)
actually thought it was funnier before...ah well, this never should have been a candidate for deletion --slack 20:20, 18 May 2005 (EDT)
My theory is that it was put in quick VFD before I fixed it (as it definitely deserved to be), and certain people were overly eager in their humor nazism and weren't appreciative of my subtle and delightful wit. (Honestly though, I never have any idea if what I write is good or not; if you liked the "preparation of Gulag Pie," by all means, pull it from the history, and I'll spend time I should be doing french homework adding to it, but I'm personally unable to face any sort of criticism, and cannot, therefor be responsible for the resurrection of something that has been criticized) --Spintherism 22:37, 18 May 2005 (EDT)
I've checked the logs and you are correct article history indicates your first changes made at (01:38, 13 May 2005 Spintherism), QuickVFD diff (Revision as of 01:22, 13 May 2005 Carlb) was the update to QuickVFD this, a quarter-hour before you started rewriting it. Original article 00:03, 13 May 2005 80.232.198.178 was a one-line substub "Gulag eeerr Soviet Union Labour camp system (not sure how to explain this in english)" with no other content.

Intelligent Design
Rewritten.
I only really want to get rid of the last two paragraphs, as I don't think they add anything funny to the article. However, I have strong opinions on the subject, so I thought I'd bring it up here. --130.95.106.154 22:42, 10 May 2005 (EDT)
Rewrite Not my funniest work, but I thought they were funny. Someone can rewrite it. Apparently the pro-Evolutionists have no sense of humor, but instead a strong opinion? --Orion Blastar 10:39, 11 May 2005 (EDT)
Er, Dunno Er sorry am I missing something here, I can't see any problems with it (or anything to have an opionion about), can 130.95.106.154 please expand on his/her objections to it? Thanks --Elvis 11:56, 11 May 2005 (EDT)
- Well I kept continuity with the Richard Dawkins entry and Evolution entry, as well as built on it, to provide exceptions to ID so it supports the previous paragraph. None of it is factual, as per Uncyclopedia guidelines. Only way it is not funny, is if the person reading it has a pro-Evolution bias, which I think is the case. In case it is not funny, it can be rewritten, and not deleted. --Orion Blastar 19:17, 11 May 2005 (EDT)
- I have a pro-evolution bias. I stated as much. I think I'd pretty much admitted that that might be affecting my sense of humour. This is not to say that I don't find funny anything I disagree with. Of the articles you've written (that I've read), I particularly liked new math. It's just in this case, I didn't really see it.
- Ignoring that the additions contradict what was there (which isn't a bad thing in Uncyclopedia) I suppose my feeling was that the two paragraphs you added were not of the same quality of those two lines that were already there. It kind of diluted it, turning a funny, if short article, into a slightly longer, overall less funny article. If it was a separate article on it's own, I probably wouldn't have mind. In this case, it just seemed a bunch of links to other pages done for the sake of linking to other pages.
- I'll end this rant here before it turns into an essay, but I'll accept if my sense of humour on this issue isn't on par. That's why I put it up here in the first place.--130.95.106.154 06:18, 12 May 2005 (EDT)
- Well I am glad you like New Math, I tend to write about many different things. Eventually there is something that I write that someone will like. Would you mind if I spun it off into a new article? New Intelligent Design or something? Then let someone else rewrite or delete this article? Thanks. --Orion Blastar 20:07, 12 May 2005 (EDT)
Rewrite What's so bad about koalas? --Repairman Jack 12:19, 11 May 2005 (EDT)

Attempted to rewrite but might still want to lose the greyrat personal attacks? perhaps the various species "...scientifically determined to be products of an Unintelligent Design which also created the greyrat." should be "...scientifically determined to be products of an Unintelligent Design before quickly disappearing in a puff of logic."? --Carlb 17:29, 21 May 2005 (EDT)

Unfunny jokes about bureaucracy
Kept, consolidated into Category:Unfunny jokes about bureaucracy.
Improve - there's the germ of a good idea here, but it's spoiled by inconsistency. It should either present itself in a bureaucratic style, or should rant at bureaucracy, but not both --Goomball 07:40, 9 May 2005 (EDT)
Delete - This section wasn't funny at the beginning, and got less so. Really, people. Gartogg 12:49, 9 May 2005 (JDT)

Keep Not that looking at the edit history would indicate my opinion or anything...;) I'm confused about Goomball's inconsistency comment - it's pretty consistent from my point of view - a near endless loop of useless bureaucracy.

Pimp Daddy Welfare
Deleted --Uvula Donor 10:52, 10 May 2005 (EDT)
I might be missing somthing, but what I get from the article and external link is this: Pimp daddy welfare is a real person, but his music is meant to be funny. He is not famous enough that I have heard of him, nor could I find a reference to him at wikipedia. I do like the line
- His early childhood of drugs, alcohol, and elmo would corrupt any impressionable mind and make them evil. Pimp D. was no exception.
But thats the only thing I found funny. The song titles appear to be actual song titles. This page also seems to have some inside jokes, which is bad. --Paulgb Talk 15:23, 1 May 2005 (EDT)
(On second look, that sentance isnt even funny because the elmo jokes aren't original either) --Paulgb Talk 10:43, 7 May 2005 (EDT)
Delete Just not funny. --Uvula Donor 08:41, 4 May 2005 (EDT)
Rewrite It isn't very uncyclopaedic, but I feel it's just enough for someone to turn into a good article. --EvilZak 08:04, 6 May 2005 (EDT)
Delete This evidently real rapper gets 534 hits on Google. He's basically not worth an article in general, and I don't think the humor in this attempt justifies its existence either.

Leave alone (Changed Vote) --Elvis 04:06, 29 Apr 2005 (EDT)
Merge I fired up a google fight on the two, and it seems that Cthulhu is the "winner" in terms of popularity. Cthulhu has promise and is properly stubbed. Cthulu needs to die. I vote to replace Cthulu with a redirect to Cthulhu. --Famine 21:35, 29 Apr 2005 (EDT)
Leave alone I happen to think Cthulu is the funnier of the two, but have no real grudge against Cthulhu. Are we only allowed to have one joke version for each real meme? --Menace3society 00:21, 30 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Pae Do and Paedophile
I'm bothered about these articles. (a) because it's difficult (but not impossible) to make the subject amusing, and (b) because of the legal risk of listing people's names under 'famous paedophiles'. Overall they aren't tremendously funny, just a play on words. --Goomball 07:43, 28 Apr 2005 (EDT)
Keep Bear in mind that of the famouse peadophiles, 1 is a convicted child pornographer and the other two are fictional........--Elvis 07:54, 28 Apr 2005 (EDT)
- Can a paedophile be described as 'famous'? Infamous, surely.
Borderline - the red links in particular need to go - David Gerard 09:09, 28 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Keep --Abbot Vesuvius 15:03 28 Apr A.D. 1503 (EDT)
Merge I don't believe there's a terrible legal risk for satire, as long as we're not randomly calling anyone and everyone a pedophile. Hell, we featured an article about assassinating the president and didn't get in any trouble, and I believe that was a lot more "risky" than this. However, two pages for this joke is one page too many, in my opinion. --EvilZak 19:04, 28 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Uh oh, someone needs timeout as the page is disappearing right now. Maybe they decided to rewrite the whole article. --Repairman Jack 09:58, 28 Apr 2005 (EDT)
The little Romanians are getting terribly restless. The last edit I reverted was along the lines of 'Romania is a European country' with a link to some facts about the place. All very nice, but I think they've missed the point of Uncyclopedia. From the page edit history I've traced 14 unique IP addresses from various locations in Romania. They must have some kind of club going on. --Goomball 10:37, 28 Apr 2005 (EDT)
Keep Currently, it's ok. Not great, but not anywhere near the worst page I've seen here. Just needs some TLC. --Famine 16:25, 28 Apr 2005 (EDT)
Keep Famine is right, it's not the worst page here. It's giving the Romanian trolls a sandbox to play in. When the novelty wears off, we can go in and mop up if it needs it. --Uvula Donor 18:18, 28 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Rewrite or Delete The concept of someone being nicknamed "The Lastnameless" is actually pretty good, but the article as it stands is too incoherent to survive without a rewrite. --EvilZak 19:04, 28 Apr 2005 (EDT)
Tweaked I tweaked the Lastnameless page, and created Category:Lastnameless. My appologies about being so reckless with my edits - I forgot both checking minor edits and making summary notations while adding the category to pages. Regardless, I think this has a little bit more of a place now, although I kept it stubbed in hopes of a bit more editing from the masses.

Good call Chronarion. The lyrics were decent, but I was about 50/50 on whether it ruined the page or not. My only remaining gripe is that a 403 is "forbidden", and while more in line with "you can't touch this", that's currently at odds with the text on the page. (The page you are looking for is currently unavailable.) I guess my vote now is for someone to find an "authoritive" 403 page to hack some more appropriate text from. --Famine 22:19, 20 Apr 2005 (EDT)
