Welcome![edit source]
Hello, Cereals, and welcome to Uncyclopedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If not, the door's right over there... no, a little more to your left... yeah. Anyway, here are a few good links for people like you:
- Beginner's Guide
- Our Vanity Policies - why we don't care about your friends

At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:Cereals/Article about stuff) so you can edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done put the "Work-In-Progress" template - {{construction}} - onto it as well.
If the current colonization doesn't suit your fancy, then browse our rewrite and idea categories. We have lots of articles just sitting around for someone to improve, so don't be afraid - dive right in!
If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Additionally, the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced editors straight to you. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to join. Again, welcome! ~

Disclaimer: I am really tired right now and ain't entirely sure what I'm doing. Anyhow, I gave it a lookish, and it looks a fair bit better. Be careful with what some folks call random humour, though - it can detract from the overall joke of a piece if it stands out too much. Also, any particular reason you didn't use normal wiki references format?[1]
- ↑ Or did you not know the code? This is an example if that's the case - ref tags around the thingy, and a references thing wherever you want it to show up.
Oh, how odd... signing doesn't work inside references. But yeah. Also, I tweaked some formatty things that were bothering me; I hope you don't mind. ~ 06:59, 1 March 2011
Thank you[edit source]
Thanx for giving it a quick look. As you probably noticed, I followed quite some, if not all of your advice. I have been efforting quite a lot over the article during the weekend, trying to give it more content. I left one bullet list just because for some reason I find it belongs there.[1]
I like how you moved the first part up, kind of like an introduction. I think that's a great idea.
I am a bit lost as to what you are refering to with random humor, unless you are talking about my occasional mixing something in that appears unrelated[2][3]
The only thing I can see in regards to that right now would be my reference to the Buddhist monk[4], Steve Martin[5] or the on purpose made Geek Orthodox typo.[6]
I realize that some of the things I write about in the article require some insider knowledge.[7] The article itself is a mixture of fact and non-sequitors while trying to keep a calm, serious and professional tone.
Footnotes[edit source]
- ↑ I didn't know about the reference tag.
- ↑ Which I used to make pun about the fuzzy logic used by fundamentalists.
- ↑ But it is related anyways according to Irenaeus.
- ↑ Who protested against the Catholics which were given prefered treatment by the Vietnamese government.
- ↑ And who also was a software tester.
- ↑ If one reads footnotes 1 to 5 it almost reads like a story by itself.
- ↑ Thank you again for showing the reference tag, this is a lot easier than what I was doing.

- Eh, to be fair, about the random, I was pretty out of it at the time. If the stuff has a reason for being there, don't worry about it. Thing's coming along rather nicely, really. ~

- I can't think of anything else anymore. As far as I am concerned, this page is finished, unless you or someone else has suggestions --Cereals 06:39, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Have you seen my pages? I have about five 'finished' ones and closer to 20 horribly unfinished ones... so I certainly wouldn't know what one could do. Mind, even if something seems done, you may find if you keep coming back every few weeks/months, it'll keep getting better and better. Aleister has been doing that with something about urine for... well, awhile.
- And I really need to stop editing while half-passed out. >.< ~ 08:24, 2 March 2011
- Oh certainly, if I have a stroke of genius I'll add it. Right now I am probably having tunnel vision combined with writers block or maybe it's just vision block with a mild form of writers tunnel.
- I agree, it's better to edit when entirely passed out. Have another beer. Cheers!--Cereals 19:38, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Mmm, beer... ghah, no! Why do you tempt me? Bugger...
- Oy, anyhow, why not look around, meantime? There are plenty of other articles to give ideas (or just read for the sake of reading them, for that matter), and so much to do around this place that it's downright mad. You want to go to VFH. You want to vote on VFH. This is not a mind control attempt. You just really want t... er... What? I didn't say anything. ~ 20:25, 2 March 2011
