Intelligent design
Am I allowed to nominate the article again, so soon after it has been removed? Weri long wang 02:15, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, you may. There only penalty for this is that the voters may hold it against you somehow. The is no rule against renomming.--<<>> 02:49, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Another PLS
The Main Page suggests that you're running another PLS. If we're still doing amazon gift certificates, I'd be willing to toss $10 in to the cause. Also, if you need judges, I'd like to throw myself in as a candidate if you need any more. --Sir gwax (talk) 05:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the offer gwax. We actually aren't hurting for money, as Wikia is taking care of that aspect of it. I have the judges lined up, too, but... well... according to some previous runners of the show, people have been known to pull out without warning at the last minute. I'll DEFINATELY keep you in mind in case that happens. Thanks a bundle for the generous offers of help, but I've got it under control for now. Maybe. I hope. /me crosses fingers.--<<>> 08:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
The amazing new and exciting VFH
My comment on Forum:8-ish_reflections_needed_for_Worst_100_Reflections_on_2006 was because of that link I provided...which lead me to realize that on the new faster VFH half of my own humble features wouldn't pass, as they were a vote for every once in awhile, just often enough to not get culled as stagnated and enough to eventually make feature (they were during the summer slow period, so I may be reading more into this than there is). I can only speak from my own experience, but I found that to be disquieting; however, if I'm the only person in this metaphorical boat, then it's not worth kvetching over. On the plus side, it lead me to go back and reread them and they hold up fairly well. But then I'm biased.--Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 23:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- Heh, I've found that all of my articles are works of art as well. ;) Since traffic ebbs and flows, the only way I know of to judge the articles is how they're doing vs articles from the same time, or judging, as objectively as possible "how popular is the article?" (VFH is, after all, just one big popularity contest for articles). If a whole bunch of articles are voted on at once and one is doing worse compared to the others than any other article on the page, it's safe to assume that article is a weaker article (at least, I hope it is, because that's what I've been doing). I'm more than willing to listen to other methods of judging (though I strive to keep it as structured as possible in the dynamic world of VFH).--<<>> 23:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Shower
I humbly accept the Urine Ninjastar, Brad. I'll continue to do what I can for Pee but I can't in good conscience sign up on the Urinizor Squad after all. Recently developing family pressures makes it likely I'll have to neglect Uncyc for days or weeks at a time over the next several months. But it is a worthy effort, and you personally have shouldered the burden like a veritable Atlas of Pee. Kudos to you, Sir. ----OEJ 17:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Feature for 11th January
No-one else was around and the article was getting not so fresh, so I put another one up. I put Wicker Man up because it was supposed to be the one for the 10th ... this is probably wrong and evil, but makes the universe seem just that little bit more heartless and random. I hope I didn't fuck anything up - David Gerard 01:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
PLS
Isn't this what {{WC}} is for? • Spang • ☃ • talk • 00:29, 14 Jan 2007
- Hmm... I didn't realize that was a template (since it's only used on one page, that seems a bit silly to me). Do you think we need to change it?--<<>> 00:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Nah, doesn't really matter :) Although when it's on a template, there's no need to go back through the main page's history to find the code from the last one.
- I only pointed it out because it's already linked on the front page, just commented out, and might have been easier for you to edit the already existing one. Didn't occur to me at the time that seeing as you'd already done it, this was a bit pointless! • Spang • ☃ • talk • 01:02, 14 Jan 2007
- Well, I've read the rules and seems that I've missed something between the jokes. Maybe they could be expressed better, but no problemo. Another subject, I've noticed you are using the Golden Shower Award. Should we make it official, pasting it in the main space? -- herr doktor needsAraygun [scream!] 00:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

NFL
Thanks for the kind words on the New England Patriots article (and now I'm a Colts fan). You weren't kidding about the NFL page; I'll work on it on and off. I did revise the Steelers' entry, though I readily admit it may have some of my fan's fingerprints over it.--Procopius 14:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- Heh, awesome. I'm kind of wanting to make the whole page in somewhat of the format of the NFC North articles, where it mocks the great history/players/coaches of each team and mentions the current players near the end (this will be easier to maintain year-to-year).--<<>> 14:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- I should mention, however, that anything you do with the page will be better than it is now, so if you just rewrite it in general, I'll love you, whether or not you take it in the direction I was thinking.--<<>> 14:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

- You can move Honey to your namespace by clicking the "move" at the top of the page. I've checked the history, and you should be good to move it yourself. Also, due to the conversation we had, I changed the PLS page so everyone can edit it (since you were having trouble with that page before). Hope that helps.--<<>> 04:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm doing my good deed for the day and replacing your title with what you should have had there in the first place. Luckily, this article doesn't exist, so it's an easy review.--<<>> 03:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Humour: | 1 | This article really could benefit from more content. |
Concept: | 1 | This article might have been a good idea, but it's too short to tell. |
Prose and formatting: | 0 | This article has no pictures, and really needs one. |
Images: | 1 | Um, switch this review with the one from before it. The formatting could have been much worse, but it's too short to tell. |
Miscellaneous: | 1 | I didn't like this article too much, but maybe that's just me. If you add some more content, you'll probably do better. |
Final Score: | 4 | Put more than an hour's worth of work into this article, and you'll get better results. Also, you should have more words in this article, as no article was ever kept at Uncyclopedia with under four words. |

Give a poop
Hello! Thank you for giving Poop a Pee Review. Anyway, I have one or two issues with your review and am hoping you might see your way to listening to them. In order of the Pee Review:
1) Scat stuff. Fair enough. Though, in the article's defence, it uses the scatological references lightly (Esp. when compared to, say, Poop Cuisine!) As such, it's not that scatty, IMHO.
2) If you think it's less funny than Poop Cuisine, fine. I have no problem with your opinion, and you've been doing this Uncyc thing a lot longer than I. Saying it READS like that article...I don't see it. That's a food article, this one is a band/music article.
3) Lists. Sir Todd warned me about that. I'll clean that up pronto...though it's part of the long-lived, washed-up band joke, again IMHO.
4) Images - thank you! I like them also, though I don't see a single one on Poop Cuisine that matches any on Poop. See #2.
5) Fair enough, and thank you for your opinion. I wasn't looking to add to the scat lore, I was looking to create a long-lived band and run jokes around them.
- Check the date of the pee review. My review came before the article you created existed. (Jan 6)--<<>> 02:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Also, sign your posts please, smart guy. ;)--<<>> 02:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Crazy! How does that happen? The Pee Review just showed up today... Ok, my bad. I hope that when & if the new Poop article gets Pee reviewed, it does better than that! I won't change a thing unless I feel like it. :-) Smrt-guy 02:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, it turns out that articles are submitted to pee review by the authors that wrote them, and they aren't moved to the page's talkpage until one month after the review (so give another user a chance to review them, if they wish). Notably, anyone that thinks they understand what it takes to get featured at Uncyclopedia can review an article, and we're always looking for more reviewers. So feel free to post anything at pee review you want, and review someone else's article, too, while you're at it. ;)--<<>> 02:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- I did as you suggested, and got a great Pee Review! Thanks for the suggestion. Now, I'm sticking my head firmly into the giant smashing machine by nominating Poop for VFH. When you have some time, I'd like to get your vote (preferrably for, but a constructive against is ok as well) for it. Thanks! Smrt-guy 19:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

poo lit noms
I'm just a bit curious as to why you disqualified my n00b nomination. It said, "Was in original namespace," what does that mean? --AmericanBastard 22:13, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- The article was on Uncyclopedia before the competition began, so it was disqualified, as that was against the rules. The rules were posted in terms that most people agreed were very clear, and were only removed Yesterday, which is why I find it odd that you're asking this now, of all times. The rules can still be found in the history.--<<>> 22:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

- a little out of place yeah, not horribly. i couold do it myslef but i thought i'd let you, since you did the rest of the work - jack mort | cunt | talk - 11:48, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Heh, ok, I'll work on the picture section. The reference section, I may just change the title though, as big words lose legibility if you misspell them more easily than familiar words.--<<>> 12:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations!
You are the recipient of the Mhaille Award For Excellence for the month of February 2007.
I know its not "up there" with the great awards of Uncyclopedia, but its a way for me to show my own support and appreciation for what people are doing out there to make this place better. Your continued level of commitment in that regard is, I feel, to be commended, and that you do it with an even hand and good heart makes you all the more worthy. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- Thanks, Mhaille. I'd give you a Mhaille Award for Excellence, too, except that apparently I'm not allowed to give those out. But, of course, you already won UotY, so you don't need any more damn awards, do you? ;) (Seriously, though, I do appreciate the kind words.)--<<>> 22:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I had expected, with how busy several of the people I'd asked to judge were, that someone wouldn't be able to judge, so no harm done. I'm glad to see you're back online.

Darwin Rule
More just curiosity. What is the meaning of the "Levels" you put at the summary of de-VFDed articles? Ex.: "Darwin Rule, Level 9". -- herr doktor needsAraygun [scream!] 19:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Levels explain how far something is is from the nearest score above or below. If there is a +10 above and a +7 below, a +5 article would be removed at level 2, for example, instead of level 5. I try to remove the highest level first. I pull the newest article with the same highest Darwin level (since it is assumed more votes will come the longer something is on the page, something losing early is worse than losing late, so to speak. Anywhere, there you go.--<<>> 19:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

This is *your* fault
Hey Brad, here's the rough content...any thoughts?--Shandon 11:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- You asked for thoughts, so here are some.
- It's a little long for one sitting. I don't know how you'll fix this, but I do know the longer it is, the more it has to be absolutely hilarious/brilliant to keep your audience's attention.
- Piglet should stutter more. Maybe have him stutter every time he says a curse word. While that lowers the "edginess" of the character in this context, that's sorta the idea of putting him in as verbal.
- I personally think "bear shit" would be a funnier thing to call pooh than "nigger bear," but that's up to you.
- It's not a bad start, but it definitely needs some more work still.--<<>> 13:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
