Heh i didnt create that site Max Goldberg created it when he first made ytmnd. I thought it was a great article... Yonnie 21:24, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
- You think that was an article? Sorry it was not... Try like you know... Some words in your articles? MrN 21:27, Oct 19
- Fine then ill take my work to Encyclopedia Dramatica where theyd probably appreciate it. I didnt know Uncyclopedia had devolved into a wiki-nazi cesspool. Peace out. Yonnie 20:18, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
Fortran and FORTRAN
The former is now a redirect to the latter. The contents are merged, with about 25% new, based on first-hand work in the trenches. One paragraph is deleted, an almost deadpan description of the features of FORTRAN. Several "encyclopedia cliches" of the type I have railed against this week (Forum:Encyclopedia cliches) have also bit the dust. Spıke ¬ 22:47, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering, is your 9001 unit still operational?

UnSignpost Sometime October 2009
STOP... SIGNPOST TIME!!
October 8th, 2009 • Issue 67• Good things come to those who wait. So does the UnSignpost.
The End is Nigh... Once Again Yes, it's that time of the year again. Despite the hopes of many, Poo Lit Surprise did not instantly revive Uncyclopedia. We are doomed! DOOMED! But how did the great Uncyclopedia become such a wasteland, one may ask. It's all a big conspiracy, I tell you! All perpetrated by a mysterious figure, known only by the initials R.L. Perseveringly, this entity has claimed the lives of various Uncyclopedians, among them such users as SysRq, Cajek, YesTimeToEdit, Siddhartha-Wolf and most recently it seems R.L. has even gotten its grips on our own UnSignpost editor Gerrycheevers. When confronted with the issue, noted favourite Jew and Zionist ruler Mordillo barely managed to exclusively tell us the following "I tell you Socky, I'd be happy to comment about our IMPENDING DOOM but I'm too busy packing. Another time maybe? HEY! MOTHERFUCKER! EASY WITH THE VASE! THAT'S FRAGILE! Sorry Sock, gotta scram, the movers are breaking my stuff. NO! DROP THAT BAN HAMMER! DROP IT I SAID!" Expert in things that suck (no pun intended), Optimuschris, was quoted saying "Uncyclopedia hasn't been cool since 08. Ban 09's." In conclusion, UN:N. UFFL Update The previous two weeks of the UFFL action have been filled with more intrigue than a mediocre James Bond movie. Two touchdownless games by Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees cost Sternensteinenstine a win Week 3, though the team rebounded Week 4 and currently holds a solid second-place standing in the hyper-competitive UFFL. A resurgent Tom Brady and a balanced roster has led Domestic Team Name to two wins over the same period, as well as an unblemished 4-0 record. The Dudes’ neglect to change their starting roster cost them a win in Week 4, knocking the former top dogs down to a less-than-remarkable 4th place. The John Curry All-Stars have been hampered by the loss of Frank Gore, and lost last week to a rejuvenated Dibiase’s Millions that were led by a solid Aaron Rodgers-Matt Forte NFC North attack. A soft schedule has helped Oklahoma City Storm to a respectable 2-2 record, while the winless Doritians continue to struggle. Finally, The Winnerz put up mounds of points as Peyton Manning passed his way to his fourth consecutive 300-yard game…or at least would have if The Winnerz could figure out how to log in to Yahoo! and edit their roster. In a look ahead to next week’s games, Sternensteinenstine and the John Curry All-Stars will have to overcome bye weeks for both their starting quarterbacks to maintain their positions near the top of the league as they face off; Oklahoma City Storm looks to earn an easy win against a bye-week-ravaged Dibiase’s Millions; The Dudes seek redemption as they attempt to reclaim their No. 1 position against the undefeated Domestic Team Name; and the league’s bottom-dwelling, shit-eating, dog-fucking last-placers The Winnerz and Cheddar’s Doritians both search for their first wins of the season.

AWB
Okay, I've got it running, so now what? • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Friday, 02:13, Oct 16
- Have you been able to "save" a page in AWB. You can "log in" as yourself in AWB. You don't need another account (for now). Oh, there are LOADS of settings which you need to look at and understand. There will be an error when you try to save the page saying that you need to have your bot added to the list of allowed bots. When you get to that point let me know the page it needs changing. MrN 02:25, Oct 16
- I tried to log in as Necropaxx but it wouldn't let me. It says my IP has been blocked from account creation. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Friday, 02:47, Oct 16
- I just added Necropaxx to the list. Even if your name was not on that list you must have something else wrong as you should have been able to log on. Is your IP blocked??? Welcome to AWB. It's a bitch. Took me a good while to get it going. At that time the latest version did not run on Uncyc. I found a version in the archive somewhere but currently run version 4.6.0.0.

User:Sionpierre and Global warming
You reverted your revert! I was planning to see if this quote would fit somewhere (other than the very top of the article). The very new user User:Sionpierre has also struck on GMT. Someone needs to shove a Guide to Editing in his mouth before he strikes again. Spıke ¬ 03:35, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
PS--On your comment on the talk page--I reviewed Climate change and started a thread in the Forum on whether we need multiple comedy approaches to essentially the same issue. The resolution of this is that Pwnerator is eager to rewrite Climate change along the lines the IP tried to do superficially. Spıke ¬ 03:38, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Hea, I noticed that you had your eye on the page, so I left it to do as you will... As for talking to users, anyone can do that. ;) MrN 03:41, Oct 16
I've left him a note; but it's always possible that someone who types unformatted stuff at the top of an article doesn't read his Talk page either! Cheers Spıke ¬ 03:47, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
Internationalizing Global warming
I despair of the task you have laid on me, to remove the America bias from this article! Al Gore is, after all, the top world impresario of the movement (along with his bete noir, Rush Limbaugh). The intro with balancing photos and quotes of Gore and Bush is just right, especially to set the tone of balanced indecision, and I get a big kick out of the anecdote of paying the village fool to fight the Civil War for you. The section "Activists" is in fact Canada-centric (I don't know any of the individuals). And I fear n00bs will constantly add parochial references in "Things you can do."
I'll limit the task to removing gratuitous references to America:
- The reference to Hollywood in the intro's bulleted list
- In "Recent developments," change Maryland to the Netherlands. No idea if they're the same size, but they're the same shape, more or less.
- Stop referring to "I shouldn't have to pay for anything if I can say it wasn't my fault" as the US motto.
- In the awful "Things you can do," reword: references to "desert states," the Democratic Party, and the entire item about floating California out to sea.
I'm open to deleting the section on "Daylight saving time" but have not done so yet. In fact, everything including and following "Things you can do" is total crap, left in only so that a lot of people who contributed (crap) can still identify with the article. Spıke ¬ 23:13 16-Oct-09
Global warming and Gemma Freeman
Thank you for reverting an IP change to Global warming today. Virtually the identical change was added by User:Sionpierre on 15-Oct, without markup. You reverted it, then thought better of it. The kicker is that I did mark up the quotation he wants to force into the article, and it now exists at the start of Section 2. I did remove "world expert," as I Googled and found no evidence of it, and because I am on a crusade against encyclopedia clichés. I assume the fact that his text is already in the article is what you mean by your Change Summary, "READ THE ARTICLE!" I sometimes report stuff like this to BP with a not-necessarily-malicious tag. Spıke ¬ 00:07 18-Oct-09
- Dude. You are so formal and structured it actually makes me feel itchy! By READ THE ARTICLE I was telling him/her to read the article. It was obvious they had just read the fist paragraph and nothing more. We get that a lot at Michael Jackson which is also similarly subtle to this article. I do however think Global warming does need "spicing up" which was kinda what I was trying to do with my edit about the other planets. I think the article should be written in the style of a VERY informed observer who knows all the facts, but as they are blended together so well can't tell what is true and what is not. If done correctly an article like this can be funny to people who support both perspectives of opinion. Right now (in my opinion) it's a bit bland... That's why you will get edits like the one you are mentioning... SPICE IT UP!! MrN 00:18, Oct 18
- On a complete change of tone, Pwnerator is already anxious to do a complete rewrite over at Climate change. Let's see what results from this. Spıke ¬ 01:57 18-Oct-09
- I just read some of the forum about this... Sometimes it works to have different articles about the same subject written from different points of view. I'm not in-favour of merging here. Probably what you should have done was to take the poor article to VFD. If it's good enough to survive there it's good enough for Uncyc. No need to create a forum dude. Yea, let's see what Pwnerator does... I would be happy if we had 10 different articles about global warming. I fancy the idea of an article written from the perspective of us having to kill all the whales as they eat all the algae... Maybe need to ethnicity cleanse the Welsh as a result... MrN 02:11, Oct 18
- I've now run across this exact philosophy (Let a dozen style-diverse flowers bloom) in UN:HTBFANJS (Section 4, bullet 4). By the way, bullet 5 is new today; technically true, but the change strikes me as vandalism or ridicule. And I don't much like the user's name either. Spıke ¬ 22:20 19-Oct-09

You're alive
What? You're alive... That stinks...... Anyway I think you should read this, this, this, and this the new articles that have been vandalized. I'd fix it but I don't know how. --User:Killer_3.14
- Forgive me for listening in, but Watch is enabled based on our preceding talk. I too noticed "Say what you will, fart jokes are always funny" at the start of UN:HTBFANJS and was leaning toward ripping it out myself--especially having gotten a sort of push from PuppyOnTheRadio to muck with it. If just 1% of readers take that line seriously, there is going to be a lot of repair work to do. Spıke ¬ 14:04, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Have now repaired it and added a link regarding encyclopedia cliches. Spıke ¬ 14:18, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Mordillo returned to action and undid this. I reverted him (explaining in the Change Summary, which he would not read as he continued to make edits) and got an arm chewed off, in a friendly way. The link to encyclopedia cliches is still in for now. Mordillo makes the valid point that the article should not reference stuff in private namespaces and says he will take the issue under advisement; has now read our debate in Forum:Encyclopedia cliches.

Funnybony is very happy to here (hear) from Mr N
- Wow, dude! I thought you abandoned me or were unhappy. Am glad to hear from you, and hope you stay in touch. always. Your friendship and guidance is MEGA appreciated! I'll be your Noob anytime.--Funnybony 01:50, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Easy tiger. What's new? MrN 18:14, Oct 16
- Well, you were becoming my guru, and suddenly vanished. It was a terrible time. The sky was all dark even at noonday, and it started raining bowling balls. Apart from that it's still not 2012 yet. If Uncyclopedia wants to save the world, then it would be good for your best writers to continue the Mayan Calendar for another 1000 years from where they got bored and stopped. It's all based on the Mayan calendar stopping, so it would be good to take it further, and avert a serious bummer! Now THAT would be a worthy article. Best wishes.--Funnybony 18:56, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
- Did you know that there were over 8,000 books there when they destroyed the Mayan. Of them 3 survived. You should look into what those books were. Who knows what was in the others. Also, why the hell did we burn them all??? WTF? I find that hard to believe. Also, a few different people have taken different translations in different ways. Most of what you hear about the Mayans comes from Sitchin. He's not the only person who translated them. You might also like to know that the Greeks also noticed the "precession". The wobble of the Earth. They noticed this 150 years before the Mayan's did. It's not hard to spot it. You just look up in the air and measure the position of the pole star. Then your grandson does the same years later, and over generations you noticed that it moves at a given speed which can be predicted. Any people who are looking up in the air for any length of time will spot it, just like the Mayan's spotted it. We just think that they had some mystical connection to something cos they are all dead now. ;) The precession is just the Earth wobbling on it's axis. Or... Was it Aliens? MrN 19:34, Oct 17

- HAAAAA!!!! You got a point there. I hope 2012 the movie (and Uncyclopedia article) are all there is too it. Well, if the Maya are all dead then what OTHER connection could they have now besides mystical? Historical!!! I still think it a good article subject of Uncyclopedia Saving the World by extending the Mayan Calendar (must be carved in stone, mind you). No computer printouts. That's, like, way too scifi for the Mayans, man, they'll cut your freakin' head off if you whipped out a Mac Book back then. But first they'll paint you blue.--Funnybony 21:30, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

And they asked me to fill the long term non sanctioned absence form. What do I put under the "underwear" form? ~ 19:38, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

About Charlie the Unicorn
Sorry about that. I thought, however, the page appered to have been rewritten from a user's test to an article. So, I tried using it for an article. Advice? Hypnotizinghypnosis 23:30, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
- Hea, I'm not sure about the article. What I did not like was a user grabbing another users user page and moving it into the mainspace. Kinda not the done thing really. As for the article itself I did not look at it. I guess if that user is not around now then it would be fine for you to do something based on it, but create it as a new article. MrN 23:40, Oct 17
- I put back the old version from June 15 on the userpage, and created the cleaned version at a real article. On a sidenote, should The Fox and the Hound still be protected? It said it was an idiot magnet, but the same idiots fooled with the dalmatians, The Rescuers, The Black Cauldron, and even The Lion King. Also, among the ips used, the same ip that started the page started G-Force (now G-Farce for lulz). Hypnotizinghypnosis 00:26, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- I can see, but, why weren't the other pages I meantined protected? They got the same kinda dickery. But anyway, I will work with Mr. Charlie (start by adding Charlie the Unicorn 2), but the better version doesn't look as great. Because, it's more true, like the plot, it's like a three-year old was writting it for Wikipedia. Also it removed some edits I tried redoing from a new user called Defender Miz. The shoes filling thing was hilaous though, but it was still there already. Thoughts? I started a disscussion on the talk page. Hypnotizinghypnosis 00:45, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh yeah I forgot, I made The Secret of NIMH and an ip added about the aweful sequel, should we have a page for that too? It was too funny, The Secert is Out: Don't Watch This Video! Lol. Hypnotizinghypnosis 00:47, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Regarding what is protected and what's not... You may be mistakenly looking for some kinda consistency on Uncyc which does not exist. :P If you really want that page un-protected, talk to the guy who protected it... Looking at the page history I think Led had his reasons... Sorry, I did not read the article. I'm not a fan of the "write as a child" style though. It's easy to do and kinda obvious. Especially on articles about childish subjects... MrN 00:56, Oct 18
- I will write something about the movie known as Condo in my Frige and some chihuahua movie similar to G-Force on the Walt Disney page, should I do a userspace for those and the Teletubbies Gone Bad too? This is just I wonder if these had pages, would that user go away? They might have left after The Fox and the Hound was protected, but the more they go away, the better, right? Also, I think for The Fox and the Hound, someone might do something with it, as an ip, or even a new user, I think maybe you could try it. Still, if problems come back, protection can be done. Or maybe it was just it was the biggest target, and perhaps one that was edited least often. I like it's style, esspecailly Copper wanting to devour their souls lol.. Unicorn and Condo in my frige, here I come! Since they have a "the good times thing" and it has Atlantis which was already past that point, Home on the Range was the last that was traditionally animated. Hypnotizinghypnosis 01:07, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Have you read BGBU? If not read it. Also read HTBFANJS. Both are very helpful. MrN 01:11, Oct 18
- Appernly the ip that redid Condo in my Fridge didn't. Maybe there is a way to write about such movies? I might could work with it. Copy? Also I might want a copy of Wow Wow Wubbzy and Wikipedia of the Future. I think there was even a QVFDD'd article by that guy called Wow Wow Wubbzey EATS POOP and the content was POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP and The Bite Fight which said STOP BITING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. So they don't even have content. bTw, do you think Sagwa can survive? Should I work with it too? Time to do Charlie lol. Hypnotizinghypnosis 19:41, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- OK. I added to Charlie, but it still might need more. Luckly, someone might do it. I will watch. For Sagwa, I will try to make it less childish. You can still send me copies, although I'm not sure if it should be: on the talk pages or somewhere, or, perhaps, User:Hypnotizinghypnosis/Condo in my Fridge for example, since it's not mine. OR, could you post it at in my Fridge? Since it seems to be the same, merge anything that they added or made funnier. Hypnotizinghypnosis 20:33, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh yeah I forgot, I made The Secret of NIMH and an ip added about the aweful sequel, should we have a page for that too? It was too funny, The Secert is Out: Don't Watch This Video! Lol. Hypnotizinghypnosis 00:47, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Pie
Thank you for reverting one of those edits, not just because NDS was the SWotM, but because the old version was subtle and clever, and the newer version was aimless free-association. How do you feel about his other changes? I think they are also aimless free-association. And the guy can't spell. Spıke ¬ 00:15 19-Oct-09
- I did not check them. I was only defending the SWotM. Important stuff that. As for the rest, use your best judgement. It's best to use a revert reason if you do revert... A bit of time explaining your reasons can go a long way. MrN 00:18, Oct 19
- I'm torn, that's why I asked. If he were an anonIP, I would have blown them away by now. It looks like this is the second article the guy has dug in on. I am not impressed on either one, but didn't come here to burn out all the other n00bs before they can get good. We'll see. Spıke ¬ 00:30 19-Oct-09
- Upon further review..."proclaiming it's [sic] holy goodness" (of Pie, that is)--Is this humor? None of it is. Yes, it is odd that blackbirds cooked in a pie could fly out; always been odd. None of it is funny. I'll sleep on it, but it won't matter. I have not forgotten the effect of harsh words on master Funnybony, and maybe tomorrow I'll think of a non-harsh Change Summary. Thanks for your input, and it looks (directly above this) as though you really have your hands full. Spıke ¬ 00:35 19-Oct-09
- You probably should not think that different users deserve different levels of attention. Personally I try to put in an equivalent of that which I can see they have. Or to some extent. Basically it's give and take. ;) But if it's a bad edit it's still a bad edit. Maybe keep some of it, move it around a bit and blend it in. That's how ideas develop. MrN 00:39, Oct 19

- Upon further review, I can't just revert either. Because, a propos of pie-fillings, he mentions Sweeney Todd (though he misspells it).

N00b read his talk page and converted Sweeney Todd to a link.

Sun Bees and Flaming Potatoes
The Sun Bee article has one of those Wikipedia link thingees {{wikipediapar|Bug (1975 film)|Sun Bee}} that apparently randomly changes. A couple of times it's been the Wikipedia/Uncyclopedia world/potato symbol which bursts into flame. Is there an easy way to make this come up on the Sun Bee article every time? Something bursting into flame just seems to fit. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 06:20, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
- Got to Template:wikipediapar and view the source. Cut and paste the whole kit and kaboodle into your page, substituting your {{{1}}}{{{2}}} to your destination and the display text. Cut up the <choose><option> at the start so that it displays just the image that you want. Or ask a geek. Pup
- Thanks for your advice! But Hyperbole just did it for me. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 21:33, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
Thanks to you, MrN9000, for marking Sun Bee as featured. Yes, I know you're just doing your job and would have done that whether you liked the article or not. But thanks for doing your job! I think you should get a 5 percent raise in pay! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 22:30, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Jack Bauer Facts
Dude, I don't really want this on Pee review or Nom, but can you make sure it can't get huffed as a "list"? - Because it's an article ABOUT a list - a list that is endless! Much appreciated (I hope you like it too). I'm afraid to check the scoring on Dead Dick - how fucking absurd!! As if it really mattered! Maybe I have too many employees, and that's where the free time comes in. HAA!!!--Funnybony 21:30, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Dead dick is going to flop I'm afraid dude. It was just not ready it appears, so I'm going to have to pull the nomination. People have read it, but a lot who have were undecided, and did not leave any comment which is often what happens at VFH. I did think it was a close one. It can make it but obviously it needs more betterness first. I was thinking about this earlier today actually. My suggestion would be for you to concentrate on the articles you have written and work on improving them rather than starting anything new for a bit. I think many of your articles could be VFH one day but they all need that extra magic. I do think your articles suffer generally as you tend to write with lots of headings and short sentences. OK, it's not really that big of a deal, but I have noticed it across a lot of what you have done. I get why, you have a lot of good ideas. ;) It's tricky to lay things out. But... I think you have "it" or whatever that means. You just need to make your articles that little bit more encyclopaedic in appearance and it will make a big improvement. As for Jack Bauer. Lolz. Unfortunately there are limits to even my power (that's for Dexter who is reading my talkpage). I can't stop other admins deleting things. I'm not going to delete it, and I doubt anyone else will now... We have some awesome list type articles. One of my favourites is Schindler's Listcruft. But again, as I'm kinda saying that Schindler's Listcruft article is awesome. It needed to be to fight off all the voters at VFH who said "It's a list". Also.... USE THE GOD DAM PEE REVIEW THING. Lol. No seriously, I have put everything I have every written onto Pee Review at some point. Also, and something you might like to think about.... I found that by reviewing other peoples articles I learnt a lot about being a better writer myself. UN:PRG has a lot of handy tips which relate not just to reviewing, but also actually writing. I have been watching a few 2012 vids of late actually... Interesting stuff. Especially the bit about the sun lining up with the center of the Galaxy. MrN 21:51, Aug 24
- I'm not reading your talkpage! MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 22:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Dude! I'm not really surprised, it being such a weird topic. I mean, an article on live dick is weird enough... then DEAD DICK! Basically gross subject, but also a real look at values in the Vietnam war game, thus significant even from a literal viewpoint. I'm glad you found the humor in it. 'Cause it is a good hook. I know I "have it" because by age 19 I had already signed a world-fame contract in London (I'm from California) with Phillips, so I saw big business taking me seriously - as singer/song-write - and investing major league. I mean, we were freakin HOT BAND. So by age 19 I already proved my worth. But the VN draft screwed it up ROYALLY, and I was a fugitive in India for 12 years. It's already a book and screenplay. My situation now is even WAY better under Royal Patronage in Thailand as jewelry designer and gemologist (for the King), with 13 books published on gems. So I must have "IT" to start with in 1966. One song I wrote has so many honors that it has it's own Wikipedia page (for the song). The Band was put in Wikipedia, by Wikipedia, from the start. My Wiki page is under "Rick Brown" (in case you're interested) I'll work on one old article at a time and consult with you on each one (if you have time). I don't need to be featured, but just really good pages that stick is my goal. Much appreciated.--Funnybony 01:57, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

God wants to talk to you
God wants to talk to you about your removing the VFH nomination for the God article because it didn't get enough votes. Please don't think this is from me. I'm just delivering the message. God said, "VOTES? NOT ENOUGH VOTES? I DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' VOTES! I'M GOD! I CAN MAKE VOTES OUT OF NOTHING! YOU THINK I WAITED TO SEND MOSES AND JESUS AND MUHAMMAD AND WHATEVER THAT OTHER GUY'S NAME WAS UNTIL PEOPLE VOTED FOR THEM? HAH! AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT 'I'M JUST DOING MY JOB' CRAP. YOU KNOW HOW OFTEN I HEAR THAT? YOU TELL THAT MRN9000 I'M COMING OVER TO--NO, I'M ALREADY THERE. I'M EVERYWHERE, YOU KNOW? JUST TELL, JUST SAY I'M ALREADY THERE. YOU LISTENING, MRN9000?

BTW: Because VFH rejected God, does that make them atheists?--Funnybony 23:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
I my self voted against "God" article, because it failed to include the mono-theistic religions of the East, e.g., Hindu Vaishnava, and Shinto, and a batch of other. If the article was the "Western View of God" then I would have voted yes, but the subject is too lopsided as is, for such a vast subject as God. You need a scholar of comparative religion to help out.----Funnybony 23:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- I partially agree with you. This is about the Abrahamic God. But some people wanted it even narrower, cutting out any reference to anything other than mainstream Christianity and Judaism. Also when I worked on the article I talked a lot to my "uncle with too many degrees" the religion expert. He said Vaishnavism isn't monotheistic because it recognizes other gods. But he also said he doesn't think Trinitarian Christianity is truly monotheistic either. Maybe if somebody writes articles on other "one Gods," the God page could be made disambiguous and could link to "God in Abrahamic religions" (which is what is used in Wikipedia). If we put everything Godly in this one article, it would take over all of Uncyclopedia. DAP Dame Pleb Com. Miley Spears (talk) 00:51, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Also, if you would be so thoughtful, ask God if the BIG BANG was intentional, or just a fuck-up? If He can part the Red Sea then He could just "appear" on the feature page... And even change the name of the this website to Godcyclopedia. Don't put it past Him. Getting rejected by VFH might piss Him off so bad that the wheels leading to Dec 21 2012 are set in motion. The whole fucking world gets fried because of goddamn VFH.--Funnybony 21:44, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- Don't forget either that this is a parody, and we try and keep it light to increase the accesibility. I'm having trouble with the end result at the moment because it's already too complex, add in other theistic concepts. (You notice that nobody is screwing with Islam here either!) Pup

Hey, is it possible to lock a page so only people with rollback rights could edit it?
I don't know why I thought of it, but I wanna know if it's possible... MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 21:42, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Not that I know about... MrN 00:20, Aug 27
- I don't think that is possible. (I tried it messing arround at the unadmin wiki) However, it would be a good idea for wikia to implement. --Mn-z 05:17, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Technically possible (implemented in the Hebrew Eincyclopedia). Do we need it? No. The concept of free editing, as much as possible, needs to be kept. By implementing that you create yet another level of novelty (that wasn't even voted for by the community). Rollback is a simple anti vandal tool and should be kept as such. ~ 06:15, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- You could have a level of "trusted users" that could edit "3/4 protected" pages, and do such tasks as update the featured article when no admin is around. Basically, the idea would be to allow some protected pages to be lowered to "3/4 protection". Also, if possible, I would support removing the pagemove limit on the rollbacks too. Of course, we'd probably need to talk to Sannse about it and get community consensus. --Mn-z 06:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- <edit> Looking at my bot powers, there may be quite a few minor user rights should be given to a "trusted user". For example, with my bot account, I have no pagemove limits and I can suppress redirects when moving a page. --Mn-z 07:06, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- I'm going to be harsh here, so don't take that personally (it's coming due to the fact I saw that implemented in other wikis). So here goes - Over my dead body. We're not going to implement another level of "pesudo-administrators", or "trusted" users. We are not having another level of bureaucracy people can aspire to rather than writing articles. Who is going to make a decision about "trusted users"? Another voting? More drama? More whoring? Let it go, the added value is minimal in comparison to the stink this will raise. ~ 08:37, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hea, why leave it there? We could have 10 levels to show how important a user is? Depending on their importance they could have a different hat?... Na. As said... That's not a good idea. Thing is, we do have rollback. I do think the page move limit should be removed for Rollback users. Suppress redirect also probably. Also, there is an option which allows all of the subpages of a page to be moved in one operation. Now that should be turned on for just admins. Unfortunately after the experience I had when I was told in person that we could have checkuser, made a forum about it, and was then told: "Oh you can't" I find dealing with Wikia staff somewhat frustrating. We REALLY need checkuser. Often Admins don't bother with Sannse & checkuser for many of the cases of socks (takes days for a reply, and by then the sock has had their fun and left), so we are full of them. Also, when I suspect someone is a sock, I REALLY don't want to advertise that fact to everyone on the entire Wiki generating drama. It's bonkers. /end rant. MrN 09:56, Aug 27
- Ok, the "3/4 protection" thing might be a bad idea. But like MrN said, giving rollbacks unlimited pagemoves and redirect suppression might be a good idea to fight pagemove vandals when an admin isn't present. I do believe that with such user rights, a user could move the page back to its original location by moving (& blanking) the vandal created redirects into userspace or a "designated trashbin space" and placing them of QVFD. It is kind of silly that I could do that with a bot account (which isn't for fighting vandalism) while rollbacks can't. --Mn-z 15:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Well with redirect suppressed there is no page created, so it's possible for a rollback user to repair everything done by a page move vandal without needing an admin at all. Currently we need an admin to delete the redirects. That's why vandal trolls do it. Cos it requires an admin. I'm not sure what you are talking about regarding userspace or "designated trashbin". You can just move it back. MrN 17:25, Aug 27

I was talking about writing over the redirect and issues of multiple moves. I think a regular user can move "Page A" over "Redirect B" if and only if "Redirect B" redirects to "Page A" and "Redirect B" has nothing else in its history.
Now, if the pagemove vandal moves Chuck Norris or "Elderly Right Wing Nutcase" and edits the now redirecting page of Chuck Norris, the new Chuck Norris page must be deleted to make way for the move. However, a rollback could simply move (and blank) the new Chuck Norris page to, say "User:IHazRedirectSuppressionRights/garbage1", clearing the location. Then the page could moved back, and the blanked relic redirect could be put on QVFD.
Also, If a pagemove vandal moves a page twice, it is not possible for a regular user to move it back directly.
For example, if a pagemove vandal moves Chuck Norris to "Elderly Right Wing Nutcase" to "Old Crazy Bastard", it would not be possible for a regular user to move "Old Crazy Bastard" back to Chuck Norris over the redirect. The user would need to move "Old Crazy Bastard" back to "Elderly Right Wing Nutcase" and then back to Chuck Norris. After thinking about it, undoing the move in reverse order would make the most sense for double page moves, as it would clear the unneeded redirects automatically. Although, the "clear the original target via a supressed redirect move" method might make sense if the same page is moved several times my multiple socks of the same vandal.--Mn-z 18:16, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Well, rollback is an anti-vandal tool which is intended to reduce the need for admins. I'm totally against granting additional editing rights to rollback users, but I see no problem removing the page move limit and allowing suppress redirect. I remember trying to fight page move vandals before I was sysop. It's a right pain in the arse, and not much fun. Fighting vandals is fun when you know that it's taking you less effort than the vandal. Giving rollback these extra rights would allow that. MrN 19:27, Aug 27
Wow. I just wanted to know if it was possible... I didn't in anyway intend any more of a discussion than a "yes" or "no" or "Shut the fuck up and get back on your knees and do your job!" reply... I mean really... Kinda like with A wizard did it... I didn't expect it to be very well-known at all. Just a funny stub if you see it through Special:Random... Maybe I should keep everything I say under 100 words... MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 19:28, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Shut the fuck up. MrN 19:31, Aug 27
- On the plus side, you can now move pages without creating redirects. Hopefully the rollbacks will not go mad with power now. --Mn-z 05:02, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Would there be a way to change the protection settings of featured images so that the image description is only semi-protected (if that) while the image itself is protected from being uploaded over? There have been several times that I couldn't add a category to an image because it was fully protected. --Mn-z 16:47, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Forum:Protect featured images? was where this was decided apparently. Um, not that I know about, or without needing to create 2 pages for each image. I'm happy to edit what needs changing if ya let me know when it does... MrN 17:35, Aug 27
- I can't think of anyway to do that off hand. I'll try messing around in the unadmin wiki for ideas. The only I could think of right now would be to have the licensing and category info for the images in templates. --Mn-z 18:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think it can be done, short of wiki update. And reworking the licensing and category data via templates would be more trouble than its worth. However, we might want to reconsider reducing the protection of those images to mere semi-protection. I can see the issue with vandalism risks, and they are on the main page. But, because the featured image is randomly chosen, vandalizing a single featured image wouldn't do much harm. I also suspect that the community wasn't considering the issue of image categorization when they decided to protect the featured images. We leave most featured articles unprotected for much the same reason, i.e. a regular user might see a minor fix that needs to be done. --Mn-z 18:35, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yea, with two pages (one a template or whatever) it could be done. I don't think the issue is risking having shock images on the front page, more the fact that the image itself IS featured, so should never be changed or uploaded over. This would happen if it was not sysop protected from time to time. Personally I'm favouring keeping things as they are, but thinking about it, I'm not sure I have ever featured an image myself! If there is someone to convince about what we do with images it's probably Modus who tends to be the man at VFP these days. Maybe have a word with him? MrN 19:18, Aug 27
- I don't think it can be done, short of wiki update. And reworking the licensing and category data via templates would be more trouble than its worth. However, we might want to reconsider reducing the protection of those images to mere semi-protection. I can see the issue with vandalism risks, and they are on the main page. But, because the featured image is randomly chosen, vandalizing a single featured image wouldn't do much harm. I also suspect that the community wasn't considering the issue of image categorization when they decided to protect the featured images.

- I can't think of anyway to do that off hand. I'll try messing around in the unadmin wiki for ideas. The only I could think of right now would be to have the licensing and category info for the images in templates. --Mn-z 18:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Pedobear
Hi! Can you unhuff Pedobear talk? I'm working on writing a new article. I put the talk up first so I could remember who huffed it and get their opinions. I've got more than one idea for how to do this article, and wanted to get their help. Thanks! DAP Dame Pleb Com. Miley Spears (talk) 01:35, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Did you know you're one of the 9.5 people who huffed Pedobear? (I say 9.5 because one huffed it twice. And yes you're all getting this message). Well I'm trying to write an article that won't be huffed. I know I'm treading into dangerous territory, but I've gone into Huff Land before and survived. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to see them at Talk:Pedobear. Thanks! Danger Girl <font="Times New Roman">Miley <font="Times New Roman">Spears (talk)
- I did not huff it! I huffed the talk page. However, my suggestion would be to do it as though he was a British politician. That would give you lot's of scope to talk about his campaign election, his polices, and the stuff he gets up to on a day to day basis. It would need to be written in a VERY strong encyclopaedic (maybe deadpan) style for it to work. That's my suggestion... ;) MrN 05:36, Aug 29
- Thanks for your suggestion! I hadn't thought of the politician angle, and might use it. And I see it wasn't you who huffed the article, it was your evil twin User:Dr. Skullthumper. DAP Dame Pleb Com. Miley Spears (talk) 07:50, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Canteen Dash
we can see how the article might be a tad bit vain, any ideas on how to make it better?
luiz127
- Dude, read UN:VAIN VERY carefully. Think about why we (as in Uncyclopedia) have that "rule". We want funny stuff. We don't want stuff which is funny only to a few people (like you and your friends). I recommend you trim down the article taking out those bits which you think might not be funny to most. Your "in jokes" make us wince. Also, it looks ugly as hell. You need to sort the formatting, layout and pictures and such. Also... and you may not like this... I'm going to merge both of your articles about this onto the one. The article about the players is really past the point of vanity (but I giggled reading it so could not delete) so... You can keep the content, but it's got to go into the one article. I suggest you trim them both down a lot... You can do the merge, or I will do it myself and delete the other page if you have not done so at some point when I can be arsed to do so... Sorry about that. Nice article though. You are doing well to manage to get such obvious vanity kept on Uncyclopedia for so long! Congratulations! MrN 05:44, Aug 29
- What's the matter with the formatting, as in, what specifically. I just trawled through it adding links...and we're working on more pictures of it
- luiz127
- Look at UN:BEST for examples of good formatting. Don't have long lists. They suck. Loose most of that math stuff at the end... That sucks. As I said, you need to decide which bits are not as good as the others and trim it down. I'm not going to delete it though, so don't feel like I'm telling you to. That's just my suggestion. With some more pictures it will look better. Oh, trim it down to only 3 quotes. Loads of quotes at the top also screws the formatting. Oh, and don't forget about merging the other article please as I will do it later if you don't. MrN 01:38, Aug 30
- I've fixed the formatting...hopefully...could you take another look and see if it's all good?

User:Canteendash has this morning rolled back an attempt of mine to make Canteen Dash something more than a vanity page (which is fair game, though I disagree with the comment in the change history, "IT WASN'T FUNNY") and, in lieu of notifying me on my talk page, has vandalized my user page to describe the episode in snide terms as though written by me--to which I object. --SpikeFromNH 10:38, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

- Actually - how about Wilde grabbing a hapless Uncyc member by the (krhm) throat and snarling: "Now go and EDIT." Note he doesn't have to add the "STFU" since the other is gasping for breath. -- Style Guide 14:12, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
- Well, it's to go at the top of the page here. I'm planning a bit of an overhaul of that page. I'm going to organise it with links to recently edited articles and generally encourage people to edit the wiki a bit more. I guess this would be a banner to go at the top... Like, someone clicks the "Things you can do" button and it's like.... EDIT SOMETHING!!!! You get the idea I hope... As for what to do... Um... Hmm, yea probably does not need the STFU. Maybe "Edit Something Dammit!" ??? -- Not sure about "now go edit" ... It's going to be the first thing people see when they click the "things to do button". It needs to not be too deep (so as to not take up too much space), but can be the width of the screen. I guess it's a banner really. MrN 10:29, Aug 31

Yellowstone National Park
Hey, I'm way new to uncyclopedia. I've read articles for a while but just started to write them so I need some help. You said that my yellowstone article was too random, but I based everything on fact and attempted to humorously make up some of the origins. Could you help me get some ideas to fix it up so it dosn't get deleted? – Preceding unsigned comment added by Trumpetskittles (talk • contribs)
- I re-wrote the opening paragraph for you. The a lot of the rest of it looks like it was copied from Wikipedia, but then a someone added some totally random stuff in. Totally random stuff is not good. Especially if it's about but fucking and Asians in the article on Yellowstone national park. Is there much but fucking there? More so than in other places on average? Probably not. Cos of that, it's not really funny, cos it's kinda obvious. I'm not just talking about the but fucking, but generally be more subtle I guess is the trick... It needs some more links and a bit more work I think... MrN 10:16, Aug 31

Dear MrN9000
The pages you deleted, Category:MNU Approved, Template:MNU Approved, and District 9, were not corporate advertising. MNU is a fictional corporation from the movie District 9. I just wanted to make some decent parody/meta-humor. The lack of articles may have made you confused, but it was just that I was about to post new articles to vary things up. I'm sorry if this matter really fucked you badly in the brain.
markchung
- Yea, I see that now. However, it still all just looks like an advert to me. We are a humour Wiki. I notice that UU has noticed you also, so I'm going to wait for your reply on your talk page. Basically, what you have done is not looking like it's suitable for Uncyc. I'm not saying that you are trying to advertise the thing, just that what you have done does not look suitable for us. MrN 13:16, Sep 1
Project Doggystyle with the Devil
First of all, I am NOT paid by any marketing firm to do this, nor am I a diehard fan of District 9. I did watch the movie, and I found it pretty decent. However, the real fodder for my articles is the ridiculous viral marketing campaign of that movie. Not only they built a fictional corporate homepage and a fictional blog, at this year's Comic-Con, they even organized a protest outside, chanting for non-human rights! If that wasn't batfuck insane for you (chances are it wasn't), even the bathrooms in the Comic-Con barred non-humans! I just want to lampoon the over-the-top viral marketing like how Stephen Colbert travesties real bloviators and how Josef Stalin parodied 1984's Big Brother. If Jimbo Wales got to make fun of Uncyclopedia by creating Wikipedia, I should at least be given a chance to make fun of District 9.
Second, if the sheer lack of articles and/or organization is making you batfuck insane, here's my ultimate plan for Project Doggystyle with the Devil:
MNU Banned: This category is for articles that your usual oppressive corporation would not want you to read.
- MWB: MWB, or Menslike Weerstandbeweging (Afrikaans for Human Resistance Movement), is a human-supremacist organization opposed to prawn rights. I made up MWB myself, so it does not show up in the movie. However, it is a parody of Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, an actual white-supremacist movement in South Africa. The humor of the article will be that although it claims to welcome humans of all colors, subtle cues throughout the page will reveal the implicit racism of MWB as well as its explicit anti-prawnism.
- District 9 (bootleg): This article is about District 9 as written by a prawn. The prawn is not very good at English, so the article will be really shitty grammar. Still, the prawn is able to expose horrible conditions in his home district. All other articles ending with (bootleg) will share the same characteristics.
- District 9 (MWB): Similar to the bootleg article of District 9, but with a flair of anti-prawn hatred. You guessed it: All other other articles ending with (MWB) will offend even the BNP.
- I'll think of more articles...
MNU Approved: This category is for your everyday corporate propaganda, the exact opposite of the above.
- District 9: This is an introductory article, linking to human and non-human versions of MNU's article on District 9.
- District 9 (human): This is where MNU gets to redeem itself through sugar-coating its role in the history of the prawn reservation.
- District 9 (non-human): Same as the above, with a catch. If you notice the highlight and the summary of the non-human text images, they are very similar to their English counterpart, but instead of euphemisms and nice words like "Violators will be subject to international criminal law." and "Have a nice day!", non-human text will have commanding, more explicit content like "Violators will face the death penalty." and "Strength through unity, unity through faith.". My goal is to be subtle, like the white "nothings" in the Andrei Tarkovsky article
- Still more to come...
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask, just not literally in front of the computer screen. I just want to be understood, that's all.
Your truly,
markchung
Need a Notability Check for a British Subject
Dover Grammar School for Boys has a wikipedia page, but it only has a enrollment of 718. Is that notable enough for a uncyclopedia article? --Mn-z 15:52, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
- It's more a question of does the funny outweigh the lack of notability. We would allow an article which was clearly personal vanity if it was hilarious enough IMO. I have noticed that page before. It looks well organised, and looks like it's got someone maintaining it from time to time who appears to understand what Uncyc is about. I'm sure it needs a UN:VAIN trim though, which is obviously the problem with this kinda thing as it tends to attract it. Only a VFD could rule on the funniness... MrN 16:24, Sep 1
- I don't think that one is VFD bad, its more of an issue of should we have articles on (non-notable) high schools at all. They would be natural cyberbullying magnets, and nobody really cares about most of the content in those type of articles. --Mn-z 05:36, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

- Hea. It's looking good. Just needs a few pictures and to be expanded a bit. People have noticed it. ;) The fact that it's still here after 1 day means that things are looking good for this article sticking around! I'm certainly not going to be deleting it. As for expansion, I recommend you check out wikipedia on the subject. I find reading through the serious stuff often inspires me to some new ideas for humour. Enjoy. :) MrN 16:15, Sep 2
- Thank you so much. I'll do that now. --Ozymandiaz 16:18, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

UnSignpost 4th September
The newspaper that missed an issue and no-one even noticed.
Date September something-or-other, 2009 • Issue 63 • Nobody reads this bit anyway
Left alone to write the entire UnSignpost, Ape delivers sub-par, mostly self-referential issue "What happened to the signpost?" was the question on literally nobody's lips this week, as Uncyclopedia's favourite newspaper which everyone loves to read but no-one can be bothered to write for took another step on the long slow descent to obscurity. However, our intrepid hero, i.e. me, soon discovered the enormity of the task that lay ahead of him. Boxes had to be filled, interesting and thought-provoking forums had to be discovered and linked to, block logs had to be accessed and trawled for witty comments (unsuccessfully, as it turned out) and this article and presumably another one below it had to be written. "I never thought it could be this hard," Ape told himself, with sexual innuendo very much intended. "How did Gerrycheevers keep finding stuff to write about? There doesn't really seem to be much happening around here. I mean, I could start whoring my newest articles under the flimsy guise of self-referential irony, but that would be shit really. Who wants to see that? Nobody, that's who." However, in the absence of anything funny or clever to say, our hero, (who is gradually being revealed to be more of an anti-hero, like Alex in A Clockwork Orange, except with no sense of style) proceeded to do exactly that, shamelessly whoring two articles (which, if anything, evince his decline as a comedy writer), eliciting a universal chorus of groans and boos from all who had the misfortune to read it. An appeal to the Uncyclopedia community Seriously guys, if you don't want any more shitty issues like this I'm going to need help, or else the signpost is going to die like all the other well-intentioned projects that nobody bothers with. What we need is:
Thank you for your time. |

Eric Clapton
I enjoyed you Clapton article, but amazed you failed to mention The Yardbirds. The Yardbirds is when he was called GOD, and The Yardbirds is where he made his bones. The Yardbirds are famous for having the three guitar gods, viz., Clapton, Beck, Page. I grew up listening to Eric Clapton and the Yardbirds, and when my band, The Misunderstood moved to London in '66 is when Eric had quit the Yardbirds, made an album with Blues Breakers, and started Cream. I heard them live several times, including a rehearsal, and I must say, Clapton couldn't even touch Jeff Beck, who I shared a London flat with in '67 when he had quit the Yardbirds and had Rod as singer and Ron Wood on bass. I was very unimpressed with Clapton. He was better in the Yardbirds, then just got worse. Cream was what we call "exploitive Psych music"; they weren't psychedelic, they were Heavy Blues, but they had to dress psychedelic to be cool. Clapton was a "bluesman" at heart.
Who am I to judge Clapton's playing? I'm a guy who fronted a group with a guitarist whom Rolling Stone Magazine compared to, "Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page rolled into one". You can hear for yourself on http://www.myspace.com/themisunderstood1966

I'm disappointed
I'm disappointed. I'd assumed that Uncyclopedia had picked up on the one useful thing that those hacks at Wikipedia had going for them - that when one person starts an article, others will extend it. So, when I came back to see whether anyone had added to the seeds I planted at Jennifer Ehle, I was dismayed to see that it had been deleted with the message "Looks like you have given up on this one for now. Let me know if you want a copy of it back to work on it some more..." I kinda thought the point was that others would work on it more if they wanted to. :( ColinEdwards 00:11, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
- MrN9000 hasn't been around for a few days. Anyway to answer your question, wiki-style co-operative writing doesn't work that well for humor articles. Almost of of the good articles on this site have had one primary author, or were a collaboration of 2 or 3 authors. Most of the articles that were created by several authors are quite random and self contradictory. --Mn-z 05:01, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Uncyclopedians Continue Hostile Takeover of Wikimedia
This week, noted user Electrified mocha chinchilla got a short but somewhat hostile reply from the lackluster Wikimedia Foundation. After telling truths to the company such as taking control over Wikipedia and how Uncyclopedia is 104% fact, a Wikipedia Foundation employee under the subtle disguise "Philippe XXXXXX" replied in a manner that was both honorable and robust. Confounded by the foundation's kindness, e|m|c quickly replied with a rebuttal seeming more like a terrorist threat like a thank-you note. Even though Uncyclopedia has not managed to even get off Wikia's back, some users have a bright, world domination-esque outlook to the future. UFFL Update Week One of the UFFL season was full of thrills, spills, birth control pills, and shitty rhymes. The John Curry All-Stars bested The Oklahoma City Storm 93.08 – 74.54 after a sub-par performance from offensive giants Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Turner on the Storm side, not to mention the controversial decision to sit starting quarterback and country singer enthusiast Tony Romo. The appropriately-named Dudes edged Cheddar’s Doritians 98.42 – 96.06, despite the fact that Dudes manager Frank Zappa was high the entirety of the game. Injuries to key Doritian players Donovan McNabb and LaDainian Tomlinson made the loss extra-hard to swallow. The not-so-domestic Domestic Team Name blew out DiBiase’s Millions 112.82 – 67.16—a loss which caused Millions’ manager Woody Onfire to question the not-sucking-ness of his team publicly. Finally, Sternensteinenstine annihilated the ironically-named Winnerz 123.92 – 0.00 after Winnerz manager Al Davis forgot to edit his team’s starting roster for the week. The lop-sided German victory was aided by a career day from Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees and round-the-clock Luftwaffe air cover in conjunction with concentrated armored thrusts at the enemy’s flanks. Lead Editor Returns to UnSignpost Office, Demands to Know Whereabouts of Bundt Cake This week Active Lead UnSignpost editor Gerrycheevers stumbled back onto the Uncyclopedia scene amid much celebration and hooplah. While settling down to his usual routine of getting UnSignpost issues polished off stylishly late, he noticed that his office at the UnSignpost wing of Uncyclopedia had been raided, and his delicious bundt cake had been mercilessly stolen. Gerry immediately declared a halt to the UnSignpost presses, which involved Sockpuppet of an unregistered user using several pints of holy water and a rubber chicken, in order to plea for the safe return of his tasty cake. Please, mystery pastry thief, don't leave Mr. Cheevers cakeless and hungry! |

UnSignpost: September 24th, 2009
The Newspaper With Love In Every Paragraph!
September 24th, 2009 • Issue 65 • The Newspaper that Oscar Wilde Might Read Were He Still Among the Living
UnSignpost Subscriber List Trimmed; Remaining Subscribers Urged to Archive Issues, Settle Outstanding Bills, Refrain from Tipping Paperbots This week, the hideously long UnSignpost subscription list was hacked down even further than The Woodburninator and others apparently hacked it down several months ago. This has resulted in a mass decline in the number of useless edits performed by paperbots and brave, bored souls who have nothing better to do than manually edit dozens of userpages on a weekly basis. The dregs that were cast off included those who have not registered an edit in six months, those who are permanently banned or close to it, and those with large, scary dogs that prevent paperbots from completing their routes unchewed. The remaining faithful readers are asked to archive their talk pages if they are excessively long due to many hilarious editions of the UnSignpost, as paperbots are slowed down by the large load times of such pages, and paper-delivering users are likely to be distracted by uproarious back issues. Subscribers are also reminded that the monthly fee for talkpage delivery is seven Uncyclopedia credits. Extremely outdated Uncyclopedia currency, such as Yoinxx, will be subject to exceedingly unfair conversion rates. On a final note, readers are implored to avoid tipping paperbots, as it seems any sort of regular income tends to give robots inklings of sentience, and the last thing we need is Fnoodle organizing the paperbots into a rudimentary union again. UFFL Update It was another exciting week of UFFL action this past Sunday, with 75% of the league’s games qualifying as “blowouts.” Sternensteinenstine bested DiBiase’s Millions 161.54 to 78.94, with the one-two Nazi punch of Drew Brees and Chris Johnson outscoring their helpless opponents alone. The John Curry All Stars had similar success with the Philip Rivers-Marques Colston-Frank Gore combination, and knocked out Cheddar’s Doritians 123.74 to 71.64 in the fourth round. The bout between Domestic Team Name and Oklahoma City Storm went the distance, with Domestic “Team” Name coming away with the split decision 78.14 to 77.28. Finally, Frankreich “The Dude” Zappino demolished his opponent 126.42 to 0.00 in a spectacular first round knockout due to the fact that LL was once again unable to select his starting roster. Standings:

Soma
Bro, hope you're OK. Long time. I wanted to ask about an article I didn't write (but contributed to and had linked to other pages) that was pretty good called Soma. It got huffed. Can we revive than article and fix what's necessary? It seems a shame to lose it completely. Thanks again.--Funnybony 18:26, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
Hey Dude
It's almost October. When are you planning on making another sweeping return? 20:36, 26 September 2009

You have over 9000 edits so can I have your autograph?-- 21:35, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

UnSignpost: October 1st, 2009
Now With 0 Trans Fat!
October 1st, 2009 • Issue 66• Now With 40% More Pictures of Cats with Humorous Captions!
Users Turn to PLS to Rescue Uncyclopedia from Decay, Doom, Worstness The Eighth Semi-Annual Poo Lit Surprise Writing Competition & Brownie Bake-Off begins this Monday, October 5th when Olipro emerges from his house. If he is frightened by his shadow, writers are required to send him love letters; otherwise, writers have two weeks to squeeze all of the humor they can out of their mostly insignificant humor glands. This year's categories include Best Article, Best Illustrated Article, Best Kanye Joke, and Best Rewrite. The list of judges includes both esteemed Uncyclopedia veterans and former PLS winners; they will be sequestered in a two-star hotel for the duration of the competition in order to ensure the most convenient environment for receiving bribes. This year's PLS Master of Ceremonies and Executive in Charge of Parking, Modusoperandi, humbly expressed optimism when asked about the quality of this installment: "This Poo Lit will be the Greatest PLS ever," said Mr. Operandi exclusively. "Anyone who says otherwise is as much of a liar as they are dumb, and they are plenty dumb. Ergo, they are also plenty liar. That made more sense in my head." Other users, who wished to remain anonymous since they regularly read the unflattering commentary often associated with being quoted in the UnSignpost, expressed hope that the PLS would revive the life-support-laden VFH and also stimulate the lagging Uncyclopedia economy. Users Agree: 'Uncyclopedia is the Boringest' This week, Uncyclopedia users denounced the recent lack of activity on the wiki. Necropaxx initiated the conversation, noting that activity on VFH, similar to the pants of the 'hip' crowd, has dropped to unacceptably low levels. Other users have responded, and the general consensus does indeed seem to be that overall, the site's quality has dropped below acceptable levels. Not since June '07, November '07, February '08, August '08, December '08, March '09, and May '09 has Uncyclopedia seen such a blatant claim that the entire website will imminently burst into a ball of some sort, with 'flame' being the most likely sort of ball. Trusted UnSignpost undercover investigative reporter, DogNewspaper (pictured), infiltrated one such group of doom-saying users in order to obtain some first-hand declarations of the impending death throes of the wiki. "Yeah, with the number of quality articles readily available, I'd give Uncyclopedia two months at the most until it is absorbed into another humor website," said one user. Further commentary from this group of users was unavailable, as undercover investigative reporter DogNewspaper's cover was at this point compromised, as his unwavering loyalty to Uncyclopedia caused him to seize the infidel user's lower leg in his mouth and shake his head viciously. Please stay with the UnSignpost for up-to-the-week coverage of the impending(?) death of Uncyclopedia. |

Everyone agrees that we are polluting the planet. Dumping crap into the sea and driving animals to extinction is clearly a bad idea. But that's not what this is about. This is about global taxation of carbon emissions. MrN 20:59, Oct 20

This administrator abused his power.
See, this one guy banned some guy for 10 minutes for a small mistake. That's far too long considering the offence was accidental. Now, I think you should ban him for improperly using his administrator powers. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 23:56, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
Banning.
This is Tom Servo the Great here. I was wondering why you banned me and accused me of being a sockpuppet. The reason I use different IP adresses is because I edit Uncyc from a variety of places, such as from school and home. Can you please get back to me on this? 38.116.200.57 13:52, October 23, 2009 (UTC) (Tom Servo the Great)

UnSignpost 22nd 23rd October 2009
The Newspaper That Wonders What Happened To You. You Used To Be Cool.
October 22nd, 2009 • Issue 68 • Semi-endorsed by Journalism Union #448
Invisible UnSignpost Issue Confuses, Annoys Readers As a gag/publicity stunt/desperate cry for attention, last week's edition of Uncyclopedia's most beloved and 3rd most cherished newspaper, the UnSignpost, was rendered invisible before being delivered. After the issue was wrapped up, UnSignpost contributing editors Dexter111344 and Socky used their inherent superpowers or something to cause the issue to not appear on user's talk pages when delivered. In addition, further enhancements rendered each user's talk page history to not be altered upon delivery, thus completely erasing any evidence that the issue was delivered or even existed at any point. Feedback thus far has been overwhelmingly negative, with angry subscribers sending death threats and exploding telegrams to the UnSignpost office for the past four days. UnSignpost Executive in Charge of Sniffing Mail, Dognewspaper (pictured), luckily suffered only minor burns and a singed tail. The UnSignpost staff would like to formally apologize to its readers, and assure them that each subsequent issue will be at least partly visible. Poo Lit Report After giving the writers time to work on their pieces, and Modus taking time enjoying the disqualification of entries for failing the mandatory steroids screening, the 8nd Edition of the Poo Lit Surprise is in its final stages – judging. This is the time where writers who entered play with their genitals out of anxiety and nervousness, and attempt to bribe the judges with sexual favors and pie. This PLS saw a great number of entries in the Best Alternate Namespace Article. The reasoning for this, some believe, is that everyone is utterly bat fuck insane and forgot how to write regular namespace articles. Despite being held just prior to the Turkey Day Ball and Conservation Week, the turn-out was overall not bad; Modus' corporate-funded campaign for the PLS is primarily to blame for this. Speaking of corporate funding, it was indicated that there will be prize money for this edition of the PLS despite Wikia's refusal to hook a brotha' up. All irrevocable blame for Wikia's unfortunate decision has been directed at Sannse for good reason. UPDATE Winners have been announced; congratulations to all of them. According to Modusoperandi, the next PLS is expected to be held, "When the next guy remembers it's late." Fantasy Football Update Things are really heating up in the UFFL as midseason nears, and Week Six’s storylines were of upset, domination, and redemption. Led by Tom Brady, the always-solid In a look ahead to next week’s games, Sternensteinenstine looks to stay atop the UFFL rankings against a resurgent Cheddar’s Doritians, Domestic Team Name looks to retake the #1 spot against a very solid John Curry All-Stars, Oklahoma City Storm and The Dudes face off, and the bottom-dwelling dog-fucking last-placers Dibiase’s Millions and The Winnerz will look to see which one of them is shittier. Standings:
IT'S OVER 25,000!!! Maybe. Uncyclopedia just might make the mark of 25,000 articles. Sometime soon. Maybe tomorrow. Surely it's yet another milestone that only puts us that much more ahead of Wikipedia, Conservapedia, and Das Kapital combined in content. However, thoughts from the rest of the community on what this means for our beloved wiki have been varyingly expressed as joyous, apathetic, dismal, and downright nonsensical. "But even with 25,000 articles, we're still 65,000 short of being strong enough to fight Captain Ginyu," says the attractive Guildensternenstein as we stop him on his way to Planet Namek. Others offer real conversation of a possible reskin and doubts that the mark will actually be reached with Forest Fire Week probably happening sometime. Maybe. Discussion started by an attention whore in Miniluv over the Welcoming Committee and their welcoming template(s) has sparked the particular attention of many Uncyclopedians, most of whom by their own admission have never read the welcoming template, HTBFANJS, BGBU, any of the other things the welcome template advises new users to read, or have heard of Uncyclopedia. The recent round of QQ'ing and debating over the alleged poor quality of Uncyclopedia, as highlighted in the last edition's piece about the end being nigh and a Poo Lit Surprise nomination, can come to a close. It is this writer's observation that Uncyclopedia is the worst because nobody cares about editing guides which make confusing acronyms. Obvious correlation is obvious. On our final stop in our stroll through the Village Dump, to your left you will see that a n00b was just kidding, jeez, and to your right you will see that Rockstar Games reads Uncyclopedia. In the former, users urge the poor fellow to read HTBFANJS and BGBU (the same ones that they probably haven't read). If anything is to be drawn from this, it is that true editing comes from within. Or something. |

Hey
I came here as refugee from suckish Polish Nonsensopedia, and I want to contribute articles here (I had over 230 in Poland). Well, you have a bit different rules, so I want to ask: How to put article to Did You Know legally? :) Ptok-Bentoniczny 22:51, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

- No, no. I mean you have Did you know section. ITs on main page. There are links to articles. So, what are rules that allow to put certain article on the list there? Ptok-Bentoniczny 23:02, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

2012 solution
All the small lists on 2012 are funny and not important - they can stay, but the BIG LIST solution you have already figured. I never heard of them doing tantric in Mayan astrology. but to understand it we must unravel the TRUTH. What you had suggested was a limited number, so I deleted the 10 weak-most methods -= not more than 20 methods, in a fixed template. If you could weed out the B level jokes methods, and spread the final best of list--Funnybony 05:17, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
Why do I even bother?
Did you perhaps see that pee review I got?
I can't say I'm reacting rationally, but I think I should just quit while I'm ahead. Whenever I try to do things in the main space, or submit something for a pee, I get crushed, bashed and insulted. :( – Preceding unsigned comment added by Luvvy (talk • contribs)
- Please calm down a little, Luv - you have a good sense of humour, and write some funny stuff - I was looking forward to seeing you nail a few articles down - that tea one had real promise (OK, I may be biased). So one person's opinion wasn't all that great - wow, wait until you meet Romartus!

October 29th, 2009 • Issue 69 • Hehehe, 69
Better than ED, of course After having hit the 25,000 articles mark, it's worth knowing what other people think of this wiki as it's walking down the sidewalk in its high heels and short skirt. So here are some Google searches for hits on Uncyclopedia in the last week and what it came up with: A Star Control II forum or something-rather found here remarks on Uncyclopedia's SC2 article and other entries. Lauding such as "Uncyclopedia rocks..." overshadowed the naysaying remarks about the wiki being immature and for poopfaced doo-doo heads. The most insightful comment, by a user dubbed "Son of Atares", says, "It definitely beats Enyclopedia Dramatica in terms of funny, but that really isn't saying anything at all." Agreed. On a Polish forum for Polish things, Polish people, and Polish things that Polish people do, some Poles or something have a great laugh at Uncyclopedia making fun of their homecountry. One ED fangirl attempts to advertise her nonsense, only to be ignored over the lulz and tears shed from reading Uncyclopedia. Finally, a forum for progressive rock fans also enjoys some laughs at the prog rock article and the article about their own forum. That guy from There Will Be Blood blatantly lies in an attempt to seem better than thou by boldly claiming, "Uncyclopedia is not funny." Our official response to this criticism? He likes Miley Cyrus. Been there, done that, got the genital warts. The last post to the forum by the gender-confused dinosaur Littlefoot from The Land Before Time reads, " I actually think the prog articles and ProgArchives pages on Uncyclopedia are generally embarrassing attempts at funny by people who do not understand subtlety or delivery in comedy." And then a smiley face, because I guess he pwnt us or something. Fantasy Football Midseason Meanderings In real sports, midseason is typically when “experts” make “predictions” about how “the rest of the season” will “play out,” and the UFFL is no exception. Here are this author’s predictions for the rest of the season, by team: 1. Sternensteinenstine (6-1): Already a game ahead and looking forward to a soft schedule in the coming weeks, Sternensteinenstine’s dominance of the UFFL will continue for the foreseeable future. In all likelihood, the Nazi Juggernaut will sweep the rest of the season with relative ease, become overconfident, take on the world’s largest nation by land area, and eventually be defeated by an international alliance in mankind’s most destructive conflict ever. Finish 13-1 (#1 seed), at the cost of 3.7 million casualties. 2. The Dudes (5-2): Facing a similarly weak series of opponents in weeks hence, The Dudes look to continue their winning ways. At about Week 11, though, they’ll run into trouble, and spend the rest of their season getting high. Finish 8-6 (#4 seed). 3. Domestic Team Name (5-2): A solid team built around consistent players, the team of housewives and aprons does relatively well the rest of the year, but gets screwed Week 8 for not having the foresight to draft a quarterback that doesn’t have a bye in Week 8. Finish 10-4 (#2 seed). 4. John Curry All-Stars (5-2): Another solid team, the All-Stars will play well for the rest of the season, but wane down the stretch when their manager loses interest in favor of watching hockey. They still make the playoffs, however. Finish 5. Oklahoma City Storm (3-4): OCS is a hard seed to crack. Despite possessing one of the league’s most devoted managers, too much depends on inconsistent and disappointing players at key positions, not to mention the team’s susceptibility to tornadoes. Finish 6-8. 6. Dibiase’s Millions (2-5): The victim of not one, but two running back busts, Dibiase’s Millions have been struggling to find their stride all year, and given the production of Matt Forte and Steven Jackson, will continue to do so. Finish 4-10. 7. Cheddar’s Doritians (2-5): Though they have won two of their last three games, Cheddar’s Doritans will more than likely miss the playoffs due to their slow start. Putting too much faith in one team probably doesn’t help, either. Finish 6-8. 8. The Winnerz (0-7): Ironically enough, the Winnerz can't win. Even more ironically, if the Winnerz could figure out how to select their starting roster, they wouldn’t be half-bad. Unfortunately, signs point to the team not being able to figure that out, at least for this and possibly next season. Finish 0-14.

Anothersock is vandal
I know there's a place to put this, but as you just reverted edits done on article changed by Anothersock, you might want to know it's a vandal. (Other edits were page blanking). King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 05:19, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
- Dude...
23:23, 6 November 2009 MrN9000 (Talk | contribs | block) blocked Anothersock (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of infinite (This takes me less effort than you. That's funny.) (unblock | change block)
Ya can check his block log ya know. ;) Thanks for the tip anyways... MrN 05:26, Nov 7
- Well, I guess I figured as nobody had fixed his three vandalisms, including blanking pages, that it wasn't known yet. But I'll try to check block logs in the future. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 05:36, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
- OK, this is weird. When I checked the articles right now, the history says that Anothersock's edits were reverted right away, just like you said. But when I saw them a few hours ago, I reverted them. Yet my reverts don't show up in the log. I think I had this happen to me before, and I'm trying to figure out what happened. Any ideas?

- I bet you're right. Now that I think about it, shortly after that I tried editing and got an error message saying something like the site was down right then. I tried again in a minute, and it worked fine. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 18:01, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

No, I haven't given up on the article yet... I was just busy... FakeInfo 00:18, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, OK. cool. I put a copy of it here for ya. I needs a fair bit more work, hope you enjoy doing it. When you think it's ready, move it back to the mainspace. Till then if you keep it here it will not be deleted again. Cheers. MrN 19:52, Nov 9
Okay, you mangy colonists.
I've been commissioned by Mooshy to rerererevitalize IC. I'm to be the glorious leader, etc. because Sissy, Gerry, and Opty have all fucked off. So, I have a few general ideas to start with on what to do. First of all, no fucking infighting. What's said by the authority figures goes. This is Imperial Colonization, not Imperial United States Congress. Second, there should be more of a limit on articles for nomination. Somewhere between 5 and 10. We'll never get to all 17 that are up there if people's votes are so scattered. Third, an active recruiting drive. It fits the name. We're going to draft Satirical Soldiers to deal with the bloody natives at those shit articles on IC. This said, I still want to hear all of your opinions on what to do. Either drop me a line on my talk page, or I'm on IRC damn near all day very weekday. So lets get going, Colonizers! Where the Wild Colins Are - LET THE WILD RUMPUS START! 16:50, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
Range block
Not sure it's a good idea to block that whole range, it's a bell-south network and you might end up banning thousands of people for this one miserable git. ~ 20:04, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm. I kinda looked like a big open proxy to me. Maybe I'm wrong. I changed it to reduce the submask so it's blocking less people, and blocked anonymous users only. Also it's only a week now. Feel free to undo this block if you fancy it's still in error. MrN 20:23, Nov 11

I am (obviously) referring to the fact that MrN is happy for Mordillo to change his blocks if he thinks it's a good idea. That was all. MrN 20:32, Nov 11

- This may be related, which is why I'm putting this here. This is just me learning how things work here. I notice Dddie was banned. As the edits seemed reasonable (at least what I saw), I'm assuming this is because of the sockpuppet issue that was listed. I'm a little concerned about the banning IP issue, if that's what was involved, as I know someone who was was a very production user who was banned indefinitely because of this (not this wiki; another one). When the user tried to get the issue looked at twice by admins, it was refused. Of course many users used shared computers, such as at schools or public libraries; and some services such as AOL share IPs; other services change the assignment of IPs fairy frequently; many security programs use shared IPs; etc. If you block anonymous users for IP issues here only, though, I don't see that as much of a problem--but of course Dddie wasn't anonymous. Again, please consider this as an attempt by a user to learn how things work around here. (There's also a real irony that I got blocked for an hour for gloating, my first block here, right as I was trying to post this). King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 00:50, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Say what? Attempt to consider this to be a noob who is ignorant of the rules? I doubt it. Rather, I believe that this is an experienced vandal who's intentionally causing disruption- his use of multiple IPs would demonstrate this all by itself, as he's obviously and intentionally using tools to evade his blocks. In addition he blanks pages and replaces pages' content with his own crap. Speaking as someone who often has to revert his edits and list his pages for deletion, I think blocking this idiot is completely justified. --Andorin Kato 00:54, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- The person I know was blocked indefinitely for the same exact thing. Only that user was very production and had nothing to do with the one who was really vandalizing and sockpuppeting. My point it an IP, an IP range, even a variety of IPs used by the same user doesn't mean they're the same as someone else who's used the same range of IPs or even the exact same IPs. They could even be in different parts of the world. If you want to edit wikis from China, for just one example, using a variety of IPs and/or proxies is about the only way you can do it more-or-less safely, and even then it's safer if you use encryption. I list other examples above. I hope this helps! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 01:03, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- I understand that you're attempting to make people see the issue from other angles; I've done similar things before with other issues on other sites. The problem remains, however, that whatever this person's intentions, they are still disrupting the wiki with their unwanted edits. If you want to talk to this person and offer them a chance to explain themselves, then you're free to post on talk pages of one of his sock accounts- even if you're banned you can post on your talk page, if I recall correctly. But don't be surprised when you just get more vandalism in response. --Andorin Kato 01:07, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, if my experience is any indication, when you're blocked here you can't post period. I've seen it done differently at other wikis, where you can post on your talk page unless you've been really, really heinous. I'd like it if it was that way here too. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 01:20, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

- Not going to happen. When someone is blocked, he's blocked for a reason. If he needs to communicate he has email and IRC. ~ 01:25, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- In my case, I've never gone on IRC here nor do I have any admin email addys. If I were blocked indefinitely, I'd simply be gone. I imagine that would apply to other users as well. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 01:31, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

- When you're getting blocked the details of how to use the email option from an admin page or how to access IRC are very clear. You don't need to know any email, you just need to click the "send email" on the left menu and your email will be send. Most admins have the email option turned on. And by the way, if you're blocked indefinitely, the intention is for you to be gone. That's what blocks are for. ~ 08:59, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you. But I will repeat my point that people can be blocked by mistake, and may not know to go looking for someplace where you can send email or where to look--I didn't know, and I've been editing wikis since 1999 (I was one of the originals at H2G2 back when Douglas Adams had it, before the BBC took it over in 2001 and claimed ownership of everything posted. A lot of us left in 2001, not coincidentally the same year Wikipedia began). The options you state are not options at some other wikis, and people won't necessarily know them. Ironically, the sockpuppet vandals are probably the people most likely to know how to use the system. The innocent may simply be lost. If someone's blocked indefinitely, I would suggest putting a message on their user page letting them know what they can do to show their innocence. Otherwise, it can be guilty until proven innocent, and you're not told how to prove you're innocent. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 19:09, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Read the text. It's all there. ~ 22:09, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- So I am to understand that if a blocked user tries to get edit a page (or maybe even log on), they get a message that links to this? If so, then good. If not, then I think the link should be put on their user page. (Also I'd like to add that my incessant whyning really is sincere and out of real concern, and is part of an effort to both understand and help this site.) King of the Internet Alden Loveshade???

- Good, I'm glad they have a chance. As to me, I was in the middle of writing a post about users being blocked, which is one of my posts above. I checked the block log and saw I was ironically blocked at that very moment for gloating over being right about Wikia policy (I admitted I was gloating when I made the post, so I suppose I deserved the block). So I did something else and came back later, and never really looked at the block message other than what was posted in the log. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade???

I think you should know I've been cloned
A new user apparently unintentionally chose a user name that's virtually identical to my own. As irony would have it, I was the one who welcomed Whydoineedtoprovidethis, who looks productive and who even apologized here. Any suggestions on what could be done about it? I don't want that user to lose credit for any edits, but it will make it rather confusing with two of us with virtually the same name. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade???

Can you unblock this dude?
I mean this dude, of course. He just popped into IRC asking why he was blocked, saying he's new and didn't mean to cause trouble. In addition, some of his edits weren't all that funny, but I don't think they were block-worthy. --Andorin Kato 00:52, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
