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:Cheese midge/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 you want to write and don't know where to begin, consider contributing to Uncyclopedia's current colonization of the week, a group writing project to improve a single popular article. Anyone is welcome to contribute, so come help out!
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! -- 23:26, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
A for Affort[edit source]
Ok, as you requested, I looked at the pages you created. Here's what I can truthfully say: You can tell that lots of wuv went into them. Here's what I can't truthfully say: they'll still be around in 30 days.
You see, the thing about Uncyclopedia is that the articles, ideally, are funny. Not in the Pineapple Express "wow, that guy was smoking something funny" way. They're supposed to be funny because people can figure out what the article is about, and how it uplifts their life or some such wonderful thing.
But -- and this is a 'but' the size of Rush Limbaugh's but -- the article didn't get insta-huffed. Why? Because of the wuv. The other admins, the ones who actually log on more than once a year, must have seen the promise in your articles. Maybe they see the Catman as a possible new meme. Most importantly, though, your articles aren't 100% vanity -- they're about 49%, and that was enough to give them a stay of execution.
I don't think it'll last, though. So here's what I would do in your sex position:
- Copy the articles to your user space, like maybe User:Cheese midge/Catman of greenock and User:Cheese midge/Weirdest words. That will preserve them for future scholars to write dissertations about the decline of the American empire in the third millennium.
- Keep hanging around adding a new viewpoint to existing articles. I think you've got something to give, and Uncyclopedia will take it like a third-grade bully behind the cafeteria.
- Floss. Don't wait until your dental hygenist calls the dentist over to discuss your "malodor". Don't ask me how I know, I just know.
I miss this place. Thanks for giving me an excuse to pontificate again. -- Sir BobBobBob ! S ? [rox!|sux!] 18:11, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
