[Forum proposes ending the Goldstein award][edit | edit source]

You might want to voice your opinion on this. ~Jewriken.GIF 07:52, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I started to write a tome, but settled for the short version. I refuse to be drawn into a flame war, or other dickbag-like behavior. Cheers! Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 19:39, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
I really appreciate your support. Have calmed down enough (maybe enough) to reply there too. Thanks, too, for the photo to save UnNews:NY Yankees compared to Nazis. The article wasn't quite funny enough (as usual, the first two paragraphs are totally unfunny recapitulation) but it is now. Spıke ¬ 02:34 20-Jul-10
Yeah, he pissed me off. He's been a growing irritant, and I don't understand why he's even here. I was thinking about trying to PS a Yankees cap on the ape-Nazi. Maybe I'll do it yet. Cheers! Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 03:42, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
Wouldn't take much to bend the ends of the NY logo to pull it into a swastika, would it? Spıke ¬ 04:04 20-Jul-10
I'm toying with following a tried and tested methodology of dealing with all the unhappy people on Uncyclopedia. /me polishes his uberbanstick deluxe.... -- Sir Mhaille Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)
I hope you're not aiming that uberbanstick deluxe in my direction. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 18:00, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
One effect of waiting to calm down was to avoid making the charge that the voters to end the award were absent from the creative side. Wise, as my Watch List shows that Froggy (and Saberwolf) spent a lot of time yesterday completing and correcting paperwork on articles saved off VFD. Spıke ¬ 13:18 20-Jul-10
Uh, maybe I'm dense, but I don't follow. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 18:00, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
In other words, it's not that the "unhappy people" have totally transitioned from the productive division to Management. Spıke ¬ 19:20 20-Jul-10

Although I'm sure you're aware of this already, you blocked yourself for one day instead of 90s Kid21 for removing ICU tags. Just letting you know.--Sir HELPME Talk (more? --> CUN ROTM NOTM Pleb USS Pees SK ) On Wednesday, 04:22, July 21 2010 UTC

No you don't, any admin can unban himself. ~Jewriken.GIF 04:54, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
I tried, but it didn't seem to work. I called you a cunt for resurrecting me. I needed the rest. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 04:59, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
To me, it wasn't hitting yourself on the head with the banstick. It was typing the change summary into the Ban Log, Was that loud enough for you? Spıke ¬ 19:12 21-Jul-10

The deal...[edit | edit source]

...is that highlights wouldn't be any better or worse if admins picked them from the list taking turns. I'm fairly confident they would be better, in fact. -- Style Oranssiviiva.jpg Guide 11:08, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

If you mean UnNewses on VFH, Zim occasionally nominates good pieces--but to get through VFH before becoming irrelevant takes a big whoring campaign.
For the digest on the Uncyclopedia home page, in {{RecentUnNews}}, Zim mostly maintains it. It was discussed in UnNews:Newsroom, Sec. 4. We took instructions to n00bs out of the Style Guide, but a few users still list their own pieces. Spıke ¬ 14:06 21-Jul-10
No, I replied to Zim about something he asked me. -- Style Oranssiviiva.jpg Guide 08:01, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
If it were true that a cabal of admins are effectively the same as what passes for voting now, then perhaps Uncyc is doing a bad job of whoring itself sufficiently to motivate more "non-cabal" users to vote. We need to emulate Christianity by evangelising to the heathens. In any case, it's all your fault. Cheers! Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 16:07, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
Er, as an occasional voter myself, what exactly is my motivation to vote?

Buddha's never too big[edit | edit source]

Since saving it from the fools at VFD I've been playing with "Evil Jesus". No, not in the flesh, but here, in the electronic flesh. Since you created and nursed the page, what do you think? Have put it on pee just to get the seven days out of the way, and how 'bout we nom it as a collab if you like it. Evil Buddha can't be far behind. Aleister 16:00 24 7

Scaring small children[edit | edit source]

Thanks for your kick in the pants, something I missed by not having anyone take it on pee review. I've done a new workup of the lead section, making Old Man Johnson the narrator, and put in some new edits throughout. This was a rewrite that I removed the "rape" and "gore" from and greatly expanded with the pics and new ideas, but I kept some of the original language and that's where it stalled. Could you spare a few moments and tell me what else you think needs to be done? Not a pee review, but another sentence or two from you would the next best thing. Thankers. Aleister 16:50 25 7

I will check it out when I get my Sunday UnNews scut work done. Cheers! Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 17:23, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but this is the best I could muster on todays medication levels. See [[Talk:HowTo:Frighten small children|here]]. Cheers! Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 18:28, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Zim, I've got to ask...[edit | edit source]

Why do you link every fifth word in every UnNews - even words like "us" and "that" and "two"? Obviously, every article needs at least two or links so it doesn't dead-end, but does it really need six links per paragraph? And links to crappy articles like THEM (which is the redirect from "us"?) and That (which is almost inarguably VFD quality)? Is that good for the wiki in some way I don't see? Also, if we're parodying Wikipedia, shouldn't all the links be on words for which a reader might conceivably want more information? Tinymasaru.gifpillow talk 18:38, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

I like to link a lot as a nod and courtesy to other writers, and because I've developed a bizarre aesthetic sensibility that demands them. Admittedly my mental affliction leads to links to some awful articles, and were I not such a lazy Chief Janitorial Services Editor, I'd follow up all links in all UnNews articles to assure quality control.
However, I feel justified in doing things the way I have done, and point out that I am not a reluctant stick-in-the-mud, and that zi_methodology has and continues to evolve. Now, since you bring if up, wouldn't it be cool if somebody were to somehow get through these shamelessly terrible articles, fix them or VFD them, and fix said link in the UnNews articles?

I'm glad you bring this to my attention. Thank you and cheers! Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 19:14, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

UnNews:UnNewsAudio Flagrant self-promotion[edit | edit source]

I didn't revert an Admin this time, not because I didn't want to, but because reverting someone baring his own bat-fuck soul might be touchier than reverting an Admin using an index to bare the soul of a soulless audio that shouldn't be on the list anyway.

Now then, is there any reason your entire bleepin' resumé has to be in your entry on the personnel list? Is there any reason someone inquiring as to the Audio personnel wants to know that you are also our cartoonist? I can score a baseball game. But no one cares. If they want to know everything about us, our user pages are literally one click away.

Separately, Gert5 has done some work that potentially increases the user-friendliness of UnNews more than Specialty Indexes. Please read my write-up in the UnNews:Newsroom, contribute your reaction, and ensure that he doesn't do it "the wrong way" (if there is one, that is, if you know of things to avoid) and that it is properly integrated into UnNews. Spıke ¬ 01:35 26-Jul-10

Good choice. I'm in full-on whoring mode, both of myself and Uncyclopedia in general. This also includes whoring you, if you're a good boy. I'm getting touchier too, if you haven't noticed. Also, I'd have had to ban you, and I hate doing that.
I will peek in on the Newsroom, and weigh in on whatever you're on about, but no guarantees for timeliness. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 05:07, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

UnWikiLeaks[edit | edit source]

Hi Rev. Hope you're hanging cool. I was wondering about the above disservice. You're the best Admin to ask about this. It seems WikiLeaks is in the news these days, in a big way. UnNews is kind of like that, but perhaps UnLeaks could be different than UnNews (just like Leaks differ from News). What do you think of introducing that to UnNews, like the oil spill section. As UncycloLeaks, or UnLeaks, or UnWikiLeaks. That could be fun. What do you think? For example, some of the leaks coming in the news should be UnLeaks too. Hehe. GRIN. Cheers!--Funnybony Icons-flag-th.png Agnideva-small.jpg AGT-logo-small.jpg 19:20, Jul 26

I am cool enough, thanks; hope you are too. I like this idea a lot. Leaking absolute bullshit... nice. I think it should be it's own section. Do you want to lay something out in your user space that we can discuss in Newsroom? Cheers! forgot to sign Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 18:40, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
I think this would fit nicely as a column, provided we can have a series of leaks. I like it. Cheers! Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 18:40, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Evil Jesus[edit | edit source]

I'm getting to really like where the page is at, and since it's past due on Pee review maybe time to launch it. Do you have any major objections to anything? Thanks. Aleister 23:25 30 7

Give me a bit to look it over. Thanks. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 23:28, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
You're talking about putting it on Pee Review. right? If so, yes I think it could use some water sports. Cheers! Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 23:34, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
It's been on pee for over a week, I was thinking it's ready for a VFH nom. What weak points do you see, taking into account we have different senses of humour (which is a good thing for a collab)? Aleister few minutes later
Did it get reviewed? I can't find the review. 98.217.88.250 01:44, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
No, it didn't get reviewed. Some things stay on pee review for three weeks or more. This will probably be one of them, so we have to eyeball it ourselves. And Zim, the drama may be moving to the UnNews department soon, so alert Spike and get ready to unleash the hounds. You guys did so much work on the main unnews page and made everything so nice looking and accessible. Good luck. Aleister 5:02 31 7

UnNews Main Page[edit | edit source]

I was not aware of the redesign although I have since looked it and as far as calling it a "redesign" goes, it looks a heck of a lot more like a hack-up of my previous redesign. -- Prof. Olipro Icons-flag-gb.png KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 20:33, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm not pleased with it either. I asked because to me, suddenly Gert5 announces at the Village Dump that there's this reskin being tested. Then suddenly there's another in Beta, which I've never heard of until it pops up in the dump. I feel like the moron in an episode of, "I didn't know I was pregnant". Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers


Anal sex[edit | edit source]

Since the failed VFH nomination of anal sex in mid-July, I've taken to fixing up the page. ChiefjusticeDS got around to reviewing it, scoring it 42/50 and making a number of recommendations. I've taken his suggestions to heart and improved the page in the areas he pointed out. The fact that it scored so well on Pee Review, combined with my personal opinion that it's a pretty good article, is causing me to ask: What made you vote against it? If there were any changes that could be made that would turn it into an article you could support, what would they be? --Andorin Kato 18:58, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

UnNews:Women Allowed to Go Topless in Public after Supreme Court Case Boobs vs. United States[edit | edit source]

Welcome back, from wherever. As I wrote to Andorin Kato, who was the first to intervene on this--

I thought that, rather than slap ICU on stuff like this, we did "mercy moves to userspace"--an option impossible in this case as author is I.P.Anon. This article doesn't read like news, isn't based on news, and is merely a vehicle for a bit of three-tit soft-porn. Or, to stop beating around the bush, it isn't funny. I'd message Zim but he has not been in the building for a couple days. Spıke ¬ 14:22 7-Aug-10
Yeah, it's crap and soon to be deleted if anonymous user or someone else doesn't fix it up. Cheers! Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 17:52, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Evil jesus[edit | edit source]

There's now a drunken pee review of a drunken Evil Jesus. I will work from it and continue to improve and expand the page (we mainly need more parables, and I'll add two more at least). Have you looked at the article as yet? Thanks. Evil Al 20:56 9 8

UnNews:Ted Stevens leaves mortal body to become one with Internet[edit | edit source]

Hey, thanks for posting on my talk page. I have a question. How do I get my UnNews article on the Main Page? (Not a featured article, just on the UnNews list on the main page) --BoctorRodotnik 23:58, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not Zim and don't speak for him. But step 1 is to write a funny story. You have correctly sensed that UnNews is one of the few places where you can joke about someone two days after he goes down in a plane crash. But this story is a jumble of random thoughts and memes--as though the mere mention of Sarah Palin were instant comedy--that have little to do with either the news, the Senator, or the Senator's career, and don't begin to explain the thesis that the Senator has survived death to merge with the Internet--why we think it's true, or even what it means. For instance, if it were Al Gore, you can see why it would make sense. I wish you would take it back and try harder to make it hang together. (I did today's UnNews Front Page, and passed over your story also because we had two stories relating to the start of the month of Ramadan, so I wrote a third and made that the theme of the day's issue.) Spıke ¬ 00:25 13-Aug-10
SPIKE, as always, has conveyed the gist of what I'd have said. A warm welcome from the Chief may be a good start. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 15:50, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
("As always" except for those times when you wrestle with the idea of banning me!) In fact, I was afraid this would be seen as Bad Cop--but, with diabolical obsequy, it would let the Chief play Good Cop, apologize for my brusque remarks, and induce Boctor to (shudders) write a few more articles.
PS--You will have heard that New Hampshire is not a good place to joke about death via plane crash; a rep candidate who wished Palin had been aboard the flight has had to apologize, and a sitting rep who said, That would only make Palin more formidable, has "resigned" his rep seat (for the off season) and "suspended his campaign" (not that a Democrat from Durham ever has to campaign). Still on the ballot but forgotten until next Inauguration Day. Spıke ¬ 16:45 13-Aug-10
No, I wasn't aware of all the hubbub. Ugh, these politicos provide us with such a gigantic, dank pool of fetid behavior... I can scarcely believe some people can respect them. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 17:03, August 13, 2010 (UTC)::
Wait a minute, what? I thought I posted a reply already. Oh well. Directly replying to SPIKE's first reply:

Well it's not like any other news articles are any better now. And Sarah Palin does have something to do with the story, as it happened in Alaska. Alaska = Sarah Palin's house. And it makes perfect sense to use the Senator for this. When the average Internet user thinks about Ted Stevens, they automatically think of this video. It doesn't matter one bit about the Senator's career, what he did in his life, or the things he did wrong in real life. They just see some old guy talking about how the Internet is a series of tubes, with awesome techno music in the background. Thus the 'Series of Tubes' meme sprouted forth and people talk about him as if he's the Ambassador of the Internet, and if you'd pay attention to the comments on some of the videos, some will declare the song to be the Internet's 'National Anthem'. And this UnNews article is based almost entirely on the meme itself, therefore it simply wouldn't make sense NOT to use memes. --BoctorRodotnik 09:15, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

I had not seen that video. Have now read Wikipedia:Series of tubes and concede that the story is about something. But it is still a "a jumble of random thoughts and memes." Even if all of them relate to Stevens in some way, merely throwing them on the page is not humor; and writing about Some mountain somewhere and Who cares isn't a guaranteed laugh, it just makes it read less like news. It might help if the story started with Stevens' real-life quote, which I have now added. No, the story is not the worst ever. Spıke ¬ 10:13 14-Aug-10
In fact, neither of the August 13 stories merit feature treatment either. "Guaobamamo" is not even in UnNews style, something I'm not going to spend the time to rectify. However, the "shcool" story was vandalized overnight--Typing crap into the lead paragraph may support the theme of bad scholarship, but it makes the story not read like news--and I've just reverted it. Spıke ¬ 10:25 14-Aug-10

Well, if you hadn't as much as even seen the video, you probably don't know enough about the meme to really make a decision (No offense at all, though). And I'm not 'merely throwing them'. The article's based on a meme, the Internet, and Ted Stevens. Therefore the article has an Internet theme, and, as the Internet is mostly memes, it adds to the theme, but notice that there aren't too many (Don't want it looking like an ED article). And if you don't like how it includes things like Some old mountain, then by all means change it to what you think is funnier. It is a new article. --BoctorRodotnik 00:28, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

People rarely know everything that would help them make the decisions they have to make, in my case, which stories to feature for the August 13 edition. I have a conceptual problem with the other August 14 story (Ground Zero), as I set out on its talk page. As I'm doing nothing but listening to the Red Sox game, I'll do an edit on it. Still, UnNews is drive-by humor: We write a hopefully funny take on today's news, and in the rare case that something is nominated for VFH, it will be day after tomorrow long before it gets 15 votes, and we'll all be working on the next thing. Spıke ¬ 00:40 15-Aug-10

So you're saying my article CAN'T be featured even if it was the funniest thing ever, 'cause I'm too late? --BoctorRodotnik 01:02, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

I think that is true. I also think it is not the funniest thing ever. Above, I am using "featuring" to mean the three stories we do graphics of on the Front Page. I rotate them when Zim is occupied, as he has been lately. There is also a list of recent UnNews stories on the Uncyclopedia home page. There is also VFH or FA treatment, which means the whole story appears on the Uncyclopedia home page. That almost never happens to an UnNews because the news is stale before the story can win a vote. Spıke ¬ 01:11 15-Aug-10

Your little hiatus[edit | edit source]

I take it you are still at the bottom of your aquarium, trying to feed your pet fishes by waiting until they will take food out of your mouth. I have been rotating the Front Page almost daily. I have hyped my own work because a couple of the stories (Papua New Guinea and the Bouncers' Convention) are more quaint than funny. However, PeregrineFalcon999 has written two based on Middle Earth; they too are of niche interest but I've promised him that one more story and I'll give him all three spots on the front page, just to have a gimmick. Spıke ¬ 19:52 17-Aug-10

Gimmicks are good, especially for UnNews. Yeah, as I had said a while ago, I'll probably be floating in and out for a bit, so thanks for taking up the slack. My health has been unpredictable lately, so that's the way it has to be. Cheers! Prosit! Shenannigans! Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 23:45, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

This particular gimmick has been in place since about 6:55 our time today. Whether I flip it back tonight or tomorrow morning depends on who's filed new stuff when the UTC clock flips over. Are you returning soon? This could get tedious.

PS--Forum:A new way to request multimedia help has just opened up, regarding ways to ask for multimedia help, and Meep's complaint that he, at the Image Help desk, is getting audio and other requests.

Ozymandiaz[edit | edit source]

Hi Zim. I noticed you have banned Ozymandiaz for good. Just reading his user page and comments about people and you in particular, he does appear to be a Prize Arse. However, just on a note, can a user be permabanned by what they say or do on their own user page? This isn't special pleading for Ozy but just something that I wanted to know. Also, and I think I have mentioned it before after my own banning experience, users are not always coherent when they get a ban and are not sure where to go. Perhaps a template could be slapped with a ban telling them where they can go to whinge/whine/legitimately complain/etc as to a ban. In fact it would also help other contributors because unless they check a ban log, they won't know what is happening to a particular contributor. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:04, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't really an important point right now. You don't have to answer this one Zim. Thanks.--Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 10:49, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Some of Ozy's drama, and the indication that he meant to pick up exactly where he left off before the previous ban, is on my user talk (Section 17.1 and 17.2). His two mainspace contributions since returning were quickly and correctly reverted. A template for permabans might be useful to notify people that a user has gotten vaped; himself too. Spıke ¬ 19:20 1-Sep-10

Ozy was a raging prick and a real cocksucker, and if his ban was admin abuse, then I'm a supermodel with beautiful plastic tits. At times like this, it is better to be grateful that he's gone than to worry about policy implications. These unsolicited two cents have been brought to you by Hyperbole. Tinymasaru.gifpillow talk 20:13, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
I actually felt badly about banning the poor, delusional kid. He clearly isn't getting the therapy he needs. Spike hit it on the head, pointing out that when he returned (and on previous occasions after other bans) he made it clear he hadn't learned a thing from a bunch of previous bans, and was picking up where he left off. Once I told a guy I was going to kick his ass. He promptly kicked my ass. Lesson learned. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 22:22, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
I would have banned him if you hadn't, Zim. --UU - natter UU Manhole.gif 09:38, Sep 2

You know the game, made famous by HIMYM, "drunk or kid"? Like "I once decided to see what would happen if I put marbles in the blender; was I drunk, or a kid?" Well, Ozymandiaz seems to be playing "mentally ill or troll?" And, honestly, he's really good at it. I can't tell. Is he acting this way for the lulz or because the voices told him to? Fuck if I know. Tinymasaru.gifpillow talk 19:52, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

We all have times where either due to personality differences or just plan rampant asshattery a situation develops where people just can't get on. Usually an admin steps in and lays down the law, even if that is just "suggesting" that you keep the fuck out of each others way and let the dust settle. There are lots of examples where people set out to deliberately troll a situation (usually under the assumption that they are somehow superior morally and intellectually) and that their behaviour somehow reflects this. The reality is that they are victims of their own egos and caught in the same negative cycle they believe that they are trapping others into. The short answer in dealing with people you believe to be trolls is to ignore them, or ask someone else to deal with them. Don't waste your valuable time or energy in something that either isn't bringing you enjoyment or is a valuable learning experience... :) -- Sir Mhaille Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)

UnNews:Archive[edit | edit source]

I don't know if you ever bother(ed) with maintaining the UnNews Archive, however, since I've just done away with the previously very onerous process, here's the low-down:

  1. Go to the edit page for the month's archive... such as UnNews:Archive/October 2010
  2. Simply add {{UnNews:ArchiveGenesis|October|2010}} to the page's content (where October is the appropriate month and 2010 is the appropriate year) and save it.
  3. Update UnNews:Archive to link to the newly created page.
  4. Profit.

Do note that I've done away with title links to specific dates in the archive because they are, for all intents and purposes, useless. -- Prof. Olipro Icons-flag-gb.png KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 13:44, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

No, no! Do not be sorry. So a few brains go flonkers, so be it; I went through many more passing through the Library the first time and what you are creating is strangely similar. You are putting poetries to the words, the likes of which I have not seen in a goodly long while. Perhaps I am already dreaming, but this is heading in a direction in which it is all so beautiful... a direction in which it all comes to pieces. Or falls together, one or the other. ~ Pointy.png *shifty eyes* (talk) (stalk) -- 20101110 - 05:25 (UTC)
It's intriguing, how you say this about that. There is a sort of poetic thing going on, I suppose, although I'm not used to thinking in those terms. After a gazebo counting accident, my university career came to a halt, and I don't know anybody personally who "gets" what I do. I've been left in my cave to rot, and have arisen as bat fuck insane into full daylight. How do you think this reflects on you? giggling in the kitchen Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 06:15, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
Poetry is relative... like how some folks'll call an algorithm beautiful. To everyone else, it just works or it doesn't, and the whole thing may well be a pile of mongoose shed as far as most are concerned. But to those who see it for what it is, it is clean and elegant and beautiful.
So, er... what exactly do you do? And love, I've no issue with being mad. I built an entire Madness, after all.

Spike, I'm pretty sure what Zim's thinking of doesn't involve UnNews, just bats... perhaps nibbling you to death, or something. Unless it's an UnNews involving that, but he already wrote one of those, so it doesn't seem that likely. *eyes zim ulator suspiciously* 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 01:08, 29 January 2011

Banning Aimsplode[edit | edit source]

Hooray for the ban! Look at his Contributions and virtually none are on content. However, Lyrithya and I debate what the effect (of various things) might be on his future behavior, on Mordillo's talk page. Spıke ¬ 17:59 28-Jan-11

I think I was pretty nice, giving him such a short ban. I will be less nice if he continues. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 18:01, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

On this transaction, I don't care about how nice or un-nice you are. Continuing discussions on Mordillo's and Zombiebaron's pages, the point is that a lot of our new, young users are coming here to chat and/or to have someone pay attention to them. A ban, even one that they are begging for, explicitly ask for, or richly deserved--especially when accompanied by a scolding--means that an Admin is paying attention to them. For a problem child, this is rich reward. Whether or not you want them to go away and write content, or just go away, the ban renders it less likely. Spıke ¬ 23:39 28-Jan-11

Uh... okay... Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 23:48, January 28, 2011 (UTC)
What did I do?? (literally, im not being sarcastic))Aimsplode 20:39, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
The specific offense I banned you for was your comment here. I have also heard rumblings about you from others. Consider yourself paroled, and please behave yourself. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 20:56, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Sources[edit | edit source]

The deal with Froggy is that he had a joke Source and I changed it to {{Original}}, because the story was original. (I also moved his UnNews to eliminate excess capital letters, and that stands, so this isn't some sort of drama-fest.) This is Section 4.5 of UnNews:Style, Don't crack wise with the sources. It's not being "inflexible" to put an article in our style--as I did with yours, because you don't remember our new rule not to put names in bold. (That would be in your Pendaflex file under "dickery.") Spıke ¬ 23:39 28-Jan-11

Froggy notwithstanding, it seems I should reread UnNews docs. I used to use joke sources a lot. I didn't think it's dickery at all. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 23:47, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

No, no, by "dickery" I meant the drama over the change away from boldfacing.

Oh, that dickery. I wasn't clear. Zimbuddha.jpg Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 00:03, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

RecentUnNews[edit | edit source]

In other very recent news, I've changed the format of {{RecentUnNews}} by inventing {{RecentUnNewsItem}}. It works in the case in which any Audio is identically named to the story; otherwise, it has to be spelled out as before. Oh, and I got the Forum to agree that, despite deviating from the appearance of the Wikipedia main page, the entire line in {{RecentUnNews}} should be a link to the story and we should not expect the reader to know to click on the bold link, as opposed to the other links, which will send him to an article instead of the news. This is in Forum:Vote: Format of RecentUnNews. At the moment, {{RecentUnNews}} is up-to-date. Spıke ¬ 23:58 28-Jan-11

You're wrong.[edit | edit source]

About something. I forgot what. I was going to say this before, when I remembered, but then I forgot to. Oops.

In completely unrelated news, could you please put this: {{User:Lyrithya/Nothing/logo}} on your userpage? Pleeease? *kitty eyes* 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 20:00, 30 January 2011
