Question about Poo Lit surprise suitability
I created a blank page for my upcoming article User:Myocardialinfarction/Sexual Orienteering, but before the poo lit contest started (I hadn't even remotely finished it enough for public viewing). Would I be able to post it and enter for the 'best article by a n00b' category? (I've been here slightly less than 3 months). I humbly prostrate myself before your judgement and assume the position. Thx Myocardialinfarction 13:33, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
- I would love to tell you that yes that would be fine, but unfortunately it looks to me like it will be declared invalid if you put it in now. The problem is, as you say, that you created it before the competition started, a ruling on that basis would undoubtedly come out with no you can't enter it. The rules do not state what should happen if the article was practically blank at creation and stayed that way until the PLS started, I think that currently you would be told that the rules are clear, and unfortunately we can't accept it. You will have a better chance of getting it accepted if you complete the article as you would like it to be for the PLS and then state your case to Modus (the boss of PLS). If you can provide him with a link to the article's revision history to prove what you are saying then an exception may be made. Ultimately it is a tough one to call, but if you can do all of the above in time, you may well get Modus to bend the rules for you. Good luck. --ChiefjusticeDS 13:48, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
Lunar Launch Saga
Yo Chief. I just went through your review. And what am I gonna do about it? Everything! Your expert advice is much appreciated, and anyone would feel honored that it was the Chief who did the review. Please, I have a few questions:
- Should the title be simply "Lunar Launch" (drop the Saga)?
- Does the Judi Dench British VO work (the last person who would be in NASA is "M")? - how bloody absurd!
- The joke is that it's seems so amazingly impossible to lunar launch in a box-looking thing, get going an amazing speed, and safely dock with the command Module which is moving amazing fast. It's almost a joke to be told about. On Wiki they just say, "took off from the lunar surface and docked" -- simple as that!?? My Dad is retired USAF Col, and I asked him to explain HOW they docked? He didn't have a clue! I asked him why everyone just excepts this so blankly?" The joke is how bloody impossible it is to try and imagine. How to better tell that joke? I suppose the answer is to "follow the review." Is this, the PRIMARY joke, coming across?
- It basically a tiny SLICE of a script without an ending. Just 2 scenes, one external, one internal. So does it need an ending, apart from them being stranded in space, which is not the ending of the movie? Sure, I can have mission control, admitting that "We really don't know what to tell you guys, because we never thought you would make it this far!??" (there was NO training for this Lunar Launch). Is that a worthwhile angle?
- It's a script with an intro, that insinuates how goddamn hard, and seemingly BS the Lunar Launch and docking would be. And how Wiki makes it take 0.10th of a second for LL and docking. The answer is conspicuous by its complete absence! Which only leaves our imagination. So it's really an article that demonstrates how hard for us mere mortals to imagine. The script is not the subject, the unimaginability of the procedure is the primary subject. So, is it an article with some slice of script? Or vise versa? (where does it fit?).
- Again, thanks to you and other people here, I'm making progress (in something I never did before, e.g., spoof writing) - even I have 13 published books. Yaosir!!!--Funnybony 22:27, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
- OK, let's go through these questions.
- Firstly, I thought that there was no problem with the title, the use of saga does make it more dramatic, but does imply that there will be or there has been more episodes of what you are talking about, though I doubt anyone will care about that unduly. I leave the decision to you.
- The primary joke is coming across perfectly and I do get what you are saying about it. My main criticism regarded the way you described the event, I realised you were being ridiculous for comic effect, but I think you could scale that back slightly and instead of being wholly ridiculous, have one party, either mission control or the astronauts be serious and the other be ridiculous. I just thought that the whole thing seemed too ridiculous for the point you were making.
- That is a worthwhile angle if you can pad it out a bit with some more jokes; if there was no training for this lunar launch you should mention it, have the astronauts say something about it. My problem with your current ending was that it was completely beyond believability and I knew you could do better than that.
- I think you should develop the idea of the "If we had done it" book. That joke made me laugh out loud, so you could expand that idea and have it encapsulate more of the article. If that was a route you were interested in following then it could fit into UnBooks. Otherwise it is up to you, main-space is absolutely fine for it, as would UnBooks.
- Hope this helps. You have some real potential here, and some excellent work already, I hope to see more of this article in future. --ChiefjusticeDS 11:45, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Bro! Thanks a million. "I'll be back"--Funnybony 23:16, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
Updated Lunar Launch
Dude! I did pretty much everything you said. I choose 1980 as the year the script was under consideration. I made the characters as absurdly opposite as possible (A hippie, a gangster. an aristocrat, and a spaced-out director), and got all the ages right. The spoof is just a slice of movie, without end given. I really tried to stick to character styles, and make it move quickly. The real problem is that NASA never planned for LL because they never dreamed it would go this far. But the guys can work it out by themselves. OBVIOUSLY they make it back. So the set up is like this:
Lunar Launch: This impossible to imagine procedure is explained in-detail by Wikipedia, as follow:
“After the Apollo 15 Lunar Module Falcon lifted from the Moon’s surface it docked with the Apollo Command-Service-Module, Endeavor..."
WHOA!!!
HOW did that happen? What transpired from Lunar launch until docking? Did it really take only one second to launch back into orbit, get going like 110 Kilometers per second (396,000 KPH?), then catch-up and dock safely with Endeavor in outer-space? That's gotta be the most exciting movie out-of-this-World!!
In the late 1970s Dave Scott and Jim Irwin wrote a book on the experience titled, "IF We Had Done It". The book created a sensation at NASA, and has become a best seller.
In 1980, after reading the book, and realizing the great value of a "Lunar Launch" film, 52 year old Director, Stanley Kubrick, bought the rights to the detailed story and interviewed the astronauts involved. A script was created from an outline, and the first draft starts:
CAST: Proposed
- Commander David Scott (42 year old Tommy Chong)
- Astronaut James Irwin (37 year old Joe Pesci)
- NASA VO (46 year old Judi Dench)
- Score by late Rod Serling, performed by 7 year old band AC/DC (unFeaturing Bon Scott).
- If you have a chance to read what transpires please let me know. Thanks again.--Funnybony 04:34, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

UnSignpost Sometime October 2009
The Newspaper With Words n' Shit!
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.

The List
All looked fine to me - nice one! When your eyes have uncrossed, feel free to check more if you like, although lay off the self-check for a while - that tended to work best with Saberwolf when he was getting going. You should find you get used to it fairly soon if you do it again. On the other hand, if you thought it was too much trouble, fair enough! --UU - natter 09:08, Oct 16
- OK, I'll do one of mine, for the simple reason I've already entered the averages, but in future I will avoid checking my own. Glad I haven't broken anything. Thanks for checking. --ChiefjusticeDS 09:12, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the edit conflicts
What? Why would I be thanking you for something like that? It's because we're both welcoming new users at the same time. When I started doing that a few days ago, I felt overwhelmed at the backlog. Now it looks like it's virtually caught up. Cool! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 16:45, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Awesome, I have actually been secretly drawing my plans against you, having watched your VFH success and reviewing with envious eyes. I think you will find the edit conflicts that crashed into the Uncyclopedia common will soon grow into huge blood harvesting alien death machines. Totally original eh? --ChiefjusticeDS 16:48, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Hey, that was my secret plan! You stole it! Give it back! If you don't give it back I'll call my Mommy. MOMMY! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 16:52, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
Last night's PEE Review
Am pleased to have heard from the author who got the harshest of my 4 reviews and he is calm and informative. I remain enthusiastic about teaching and learning from other writers, but unenthusiastic about filling out PEE forms and supplying what will essentially be random-number grades (which might cut more deeply than the most caustic review by way of text). I have read the guidelines, and understand and agree with what y'all are looking for in a "good article," but don't see the utility of a "report card" and would prefer a format in which I could respond in prose, as I did. Spıke ¬ 17:03, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- PS--Am getting less pleased, as FunnyBony has just filibustered on my talk page by way of offering up ISKCON details to justify the article I reviewed. Have politely told him I cannot respond at that level. After barely a week interfering in your august Forum, it is approaching a full workday just conscientiously reading the correspondence! Yikes! Spıke ¬ 17:29, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm not suggesting that YOU MUST CHANGE NOW! The necessity for filling the table is purely logistical. When you complete reviews in that fashion the review doesn't move to the reviewed section and the writer can be left confused as to whether you have done the review or not. That isn't even getting into the complexities of updating the list of PEE and attributing reviews and calculating scores up. I realise that a lot of people reject the idea of dishing out an arbitrary score for PEE reviews, people who believe that a complex opinion cannot be quantified with a number. You are also not the first to raise an objection to the scoring system. My suggestion would be to continue what you are doing, but click the review now button, and give 0 for all the sections except the final one, you can also put all your comments under 'Final Comments'. Just explain to the writer what you are doing. This way we are all compromising, you don't score except for one out of 50, and I can still continue to update the review list without having a nervous breakdown. Acceptable? --ChiefjusticeDS 17:40, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, that works; thanks. Spıke ¬ 17:46, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not a big fan of rating something subjective with a number either, but understand that's the way much of life works. An entire semester's work is reduced to one letter, and four years' work is reduced to one number, etc. But I think giving a 0 on everything could be very discouraging even if it is explained. What if instead, Spike, you look at Uncyclopedia:Pee_Review/Guidelines, which does give subjective reasons for numbers, and base your numbers on that. "This article's adequate/average, so 7 in each section which will total of 35." Or even, "Prose and Formatting are adequate, so a 7 there, but Humour might be feature level, so an 8 there." King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 17:53, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Essentially it is his decision, it might look discouraging, but writers will just have to adjust for it. Spike is quite a promising reviewer and it would be a shame to lose his support. He could just bob in a note at the top, similar to your one for introducing yourself, and explain his style. --ChiefjusticeDS 17:58, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- If you don't want to use the scoring system you don't have to. You can just leave a comment above the review box, but that will still leave the review "open" so other reviewers will find it. Adding the scores "closes" the review to other reviewers. WE need some system of saying a page has had 'enough attention' for now... Obviously anyone can comment on anything whenever they want. Either the above, or just say whatever you want to say on the talk page of the article thereby avoiding the Pee Review system and just using it as a place to find pages to look at. I'm sure the author will be grateful for your feedback wherever it comes. MrN 18:00, Oct 16
- That works too. --ChiefjusticeDS 18:15, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Done now. I have a B.A. and would never give anyone a 0 at anything without an explanation. Not that I ever got one. The four reviews I made last night are now done "formally." The one left in the backlog I am not competent to review. (As apparently I didn't have enough inside information to do justice to ISKCON either--though the input I provided was useful and was well-received.) Spıke ¬ 18:17, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
PS--Did I just have, through an intermediary, a conversation with User:Why do I need to provide this? on the topic of why I need to provide this? Spıke ¬ 18:20, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Hey, you're being clever and funny. Stop that! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 18:23, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
On the process
The one negative Pee Review of the four I gave out--leading to the dialogue in the next section of this talk page--can be interpreted in two ways: (1) I viewed the article as a big long insider joke and (2) I lack the inside information I needed to review it. User:Funnybony has protested the review and gotten a fresh one.
There was a fifth article in the Pee Review queue--a proposed alternate ending to a TV show or movie I had not seen. I declined to review it for the exact reason. But the intro for the fifth article made it obvious what inside information I would need in order to enjoy it. My negative review of ITSCON tried to indicate that the intro was unsuccessful even at describing even what I would need to know to enjoy it.
Nevertheless, Funnybony and I had a cordial discussion on my talk page on what the article was about. Then you folks insisted that I complete the formal review process, but not necessarily with meaningful numbers. Funnybony communicated with me and many of you (below) less than cordially. Since then, he has read comments on my talk page and says he understands what I was trying to say.
What I take away from all of this: The number-grade Pee Review form looks like a BAD REPORT CARD. I think it (and my desire to blow off accurate numbers and just point him back to my text review) made him overreact (though he at one point accused me of identical emotionality).
I propose that your advice above, that it suffices to give reviews in prose and skip the numbers, is sometimes insufficient. There should be a way to complete a Pee Review without issuing a "report card" that will look like failure. (Keep in mind that, in US public education with its grade inflation and emphasis on self-esteem, every American expects to get 8s, 9s, and 10s at everything.)
Have not heard back from the other three authors I reviewed, and there is a risk they too will take it the wrong way. Spıke ¬ 00:36 18-Oct-09
- I think that if that is how you feel about doing the PEE reviews then you would be best obeying Mr.N's suggestion above. Also what you need to understand about PEE review is that writers sometimes don't contact the reviewer afterwards. From looking at the queue it looks to me like one of the authors has taken your points to heart and simply done what he usually does and requested a second opinion. I cannot see eye to eye with you the PEE system however, I think some authors do value the numerical scores as an instant indication of how far they still need to go with their article.
- As far as I can tell what has happened here is that we have all not behaved very well, long discussions on your talk page about why you should fill out the form, and then you get what anyone who does PEE reviews gets at some point, an unhappy author complaining about what you have said. Funnybony has spent a long time on the ITSCON article and was just hoping for a bit more feedback in the review, and was understandably frustrated when he didn't get it. You, on the other hand were doing your first ever PEE review and were just unlucky that it was that one you picked up. I hope you can continue to contribute to our feedback system, but in a way that suits you best.--ChiefjusticeDS 09:00, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
ITSCON
This is a Pee Review??? Sounds like a pissed-off diatride by an angry person, without a clue of the subject, who wants to dish out some shit just for the hell of it! Is this a "Pee Review" or just taking a Piss? This is a bull shit review!--Funnybony 19:26, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- (As I also replied on the Review page) It is I; I have admitted not having a clue of the subject; as we have already discussed it amicably on my talk page. Perhaps you could ask to be reinserted into the queue to see if someone who knows ISKCON will review your article. Spıke ¬ 19:31 16-Oct-09
- OK hold it right there and breathe, before we all stray into the realm of drama and arguments. If you aren't satisfied and want someone else to take a look at it just resubmit it to the queue, there is only one other article there right now. I understand your frustrations, but please, try to go easy on a new reviewer who is still finding his feet with the PEE system and the guidelines. Shove it back on the queue with the title "ITSCON (2nd look)" and someone else will pick it up for you in the next couple of days (I will if nobody else does). Is that an acceptable solution? --ChiefjusticeDS 19:33, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
I suggest you erase my review, and Funnybony's dissatisfaction with it, from the PEE Review page so the new reviewer starts out fresh. Spıke ¬ 19:53 16-Oct-09
- Hi Spike, I am not going to delete your comments, someone else can do that (including you). Listen, I know LESS than you about making a Pee Review, so I have no hard feelings. I'm just used to a more friendly approach. This is just jokes. No one gets famous. No one gets paid. There is nothing to gain except a laugh. And there are many subjects in Uncyclopedia I know nothing about, or have no interest, and I just don't bother with those. Everything's not for everyone. But I appreciated that you tried to help, only I couldn't make out what to do. It was a "complaint" more than a review. Man, you must of been on the rag last night. Whew! Hope you're feeling chipper today!--Funnybony 20:11, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
Baby Boomers
Chief. I'm a new comer, but as far as I can make out you are the most expert and senior cat on the block. I took all your "constructive" advice (it was ALL constructive) on Baby Boomers and it's already for a 3rd Pee, or a Nom, either way is fine with me, because it just keeps getting better. Thanks--Funnybony 19:58, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- I'll take another look for you. --ChiefjusticeDS 20:10, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- SUPER!!! Also I ran it through a grammar checker and got all the terrorists--Funnybony 20:13, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- OK, that is a bit better. Main things to look at:
- Good start with the running joke, but it needs to go further and integrate more seamlessly with what you already have. Try not to just tag it on, write it in, also, do it differently each time. In one case say: "Uncyclopedia would be unExistant." then in the next say "Have I mentioned that they gave us Uncyclopedia?" Then for the next say something like "If I had to choose one thing that BB's had given us that wasn't Uncyclopedia, which they gave to us by the way etc etc". See what I mean?
- Second, good work removing the Steve Jobs image, but the problem with the Gene Simmons image and the S.A.T. test are still causing you a problem with formatting.
- Otherwise good, so almost there, just not yet. --ChiefjusticeDS 20:51, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
OK, Chief!
I think Baby Boomers it perfect now, with the Uncyclopedia joke running through-out the article. And some NEW funnier stuff. I again moved up the KISS picture, and it looks OK on my Mac. Does it still screw-up the formatting as appears on your computer? If so then I'll just delete it. Thanks again.--Funnybony 21:41, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Perhaps that is the problem, it's still looking screwed up on mine. Your additions are pretty good too, I would say that you are good to go wherever it is you want to go with that. Remember that VFH is a tricky bet at the best of times, everyone is different so be prepared for some criticism. But you have my very best wishes whatever you decide to do. --ChiefjusticeDS 21:54, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
EVEN BETTER AND BEST
Chief, I reworked the entire Uncyclopedia spoof in from the start now, and it's about the funniest joke in the whole article. I even removed "Fuck one!" and replaced with "look them up on Uncyclopedia". I further integrated the Uncyclopedia joke through out, and I don't think it's over done. I ditched the KISS pic, now does the format look OK? If all is well, the only place to go is VFH. Hope to see you there. Thanks a million.--Funnybony 22:06, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Looks fine to me, if you were being picky then I would say you can use the space created by removing that image to space the others out a bit, just stops the article looking scruffy. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:10, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
The... home... stretch...
Hey Chief, hope you're still here. I've edited the Malema page again, got some hints from the WhyGuy. If your happy and you think it may be time, I can start thinking about considering relocating it to the Main Space? --BlueSpiritGuy 21:22, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Absolutely, there are far worse articles festering away in main space. Remember, it is a jungle out there, or a nuclear wasteland depending on how you look at it, and your user space is like a safe haven for your articles. You will likely encounter vandals and people with their own view on Mr Malema, keep an eye on it. But yes, I'd say the time has come. Do you know how to move it? Or would you like me to do it for you? --ChiefjusticeDS 21:26, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm going to try to move it. It's supposed to be a big moment? If I don't manage I'll come running back to you for help... Should I keep a copy in my userspace? --BlueSpiritGuy 21:31, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- It isn't compulsory, some people prefer to. For reasons like: to try out new ideas without affecting the main space one, also it means you can still retain the original style of the article if people vandalise it badly. But since you can undo edits there is no real need besides extra security and sentimentality. --ChiefjusticeDS 21:35, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- I see, If I wish to keep a copy, should I still move the page or should I create a new page in the main space under the name and copy and paste everything. --BlueSpiritGuy 21:46, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Just copy the article to a text document, move the one in your userspace, then just paste the text document one back into your userspace. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:08, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

- I'm going to try to move it. It's supposed to be a big moment? If I don't manage I'll come running back to you for help... Should I keep a copy in my userspace? --BlueSpiritGuy 21:31, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
Why?:Has God Forsaken Me?
Just curious--on your user page, it says that Why?:Has God Forsaken Me? is an article you wrote or helped write. Yet the only editor I see is Gas Pump (other than me as I just made a few small edits). Are you/were you Gas Pump, or was this written on some user page? I really liked the article, by the way. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 21:42, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- I was never that user, it was written before I created my full account anyway. I'm taking a liberty saying I helped to do it, mostly it was just suggestions in that general direction as an IP editor and then IRC whining. I wasn't ever really involved in the writing, I just whined (like IP's do) until a user got up and wrote something for me. Shortly afterwards the idea occurred, why not make an account? So I did that, and the rest is history. --ChiefjusticeDS 21:49, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- OK, cool. Glad you signed up; you've helped me a lot. (I didn't vote for you as UotM for nothing, you know.) King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 21:56, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm glad I did too. It certainly helped while away the long summer hours. Thanks for the vote by the way, should have said earlier. Like I always say, here to help. --ChiefjusticeDS 21:59, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, you don't have to thank me for voting for you. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't truly believe you really blackmailed me. OK not really. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 22:12, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

It is harder than it looks
If I want to keep a copy, do I first move the article then copy everyting afterwards? --BlueSpiritGuy 22:02, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Copy it into a text file on your PC in case Uncyclopedia crashes or "locks the databases". Then move the one in you userspace. Then just paste the text document back into your userspace. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:06, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- I see. Thanks for the help! Just one more thing, after moving the page, I see that the current page becomes a Redirect page. Is it necessary to change all links linking to the User space page manually so that they link directly to the main space article?--BlueSpiritGuy 22:12, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Not really, the only real problem we have is with double redirects: redirects that link to redirects. Since nothing is currently redirecting to the User space one there is no need to go and change the links, you can if the text saying "Redirected from" offends you in some way, but it isn't necessary. I checked for double redirects so there is no need to fear being banned for them. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:17, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Hmmm, no it isn't that offending if you don't say it like this: REDIRECTED FROM. Thanks for checking for the double redirects. And thanks for all your help on the article. I will create a nice template saying just that but with more emotion and a deeper meaning, which I will post on your talk page for all to see. But not right now. All I'm going to say now is: Dude, thanks. Thanks a lot. --BlueSpiritGuy 22:29, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- No problem. Now I'm off to do this thing on Cajek's list for Why? As he is convinced I'm cheating in our review race. I'm not, obviously. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:32, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Say, I just realized, if I claimed I did Pee Reviews that don't really exist, you'd have to spend so much time looking for them you wouldn't have time to do reviews. Hey, CJ, I just did 12 more reviews. You'd better find them or I'll accuse you of lying! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 00:15, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Hi Chief. OK, improved further. And pics are spaced apart. Does the format look OK on your box? If it's good can you nom it for me? Or can I self NOM with three Pees behind me? Gotta cross the finish line at least ONCE out of 22 articles--Funnybony 22:33, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Feel free to self-nom, just link to the PEE's when you do. Try to space the pictures equally, so the white space between each is pretty even. Don't worry about coming back to me after, just go for it. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:40, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
I came here for a reason
And then I read your archive summaries and wondered what conversation you refered to that we had. So I looked and laughed at my own jokes nd then forgot what my reason for comming here was. There definitly was a reason, and a reasonably constructive one at that, but now I can't remember... Orian57 Talk 15:16 18 October 2009
Ah Yes!
Orian57 Talk 15:20 18 October 2009
- Thanks, and it's no problem, it's one of my favourite articles /me massages Orian's ego/ and it causes mighty rage within me when IP's vandalise it. As to the thing with the archived conversation yes, it was terribly amusing, but you have had better things to do recently, I imagine. It does, however, remind me of this conversation. --ChiefjusticeDS 17:19, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Really? I think it's one of my worst. Leagues -- lightyears -- better than what was there. Anyway, thanks for keeping it acceptable, I'm glad you and Necropaxx like it even if nobody else does. Orian57 Talk 18:01 18 October 2009
- Also I've probably asked before but do you have a 360 with Live? Or are you one of those PC gamers? It's just me and a couple friends were trying to do a campaign on expert and it's hellish, were kinda hoping to find a competant fourth person. Orian57 Talk 18:04 18 October 2009
- You haven't asked me but I'm one of those depressing PC gamers, I slugged my way through all the campaigns on expert in single player, I haven't quite gotten the determination up to get through Crash Course on expert yet, I'm sure I will eventually. Is Crash Course the one you are doing? But I know the pain you are going through, the Computer is horrendous to play campaigns with, sorry man. --ChiefjusticeDS 18:09, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- We tried to do Blood Harvest it took us seven hours to get to the last chapter and we even managed to get good at getting to the farm house but it was impossible. Eventually we had to give up. It was really dissapointing. But oh well, get a 360 faggot. Orian57 Talk 18:12 18 October 2009
- Do No Mercy, it is far and away the easiest to do on expert, just barricade yourself in the cupboard in the room with the radio and light the tank on fire and run for it, they always die in 30 seconds when they are on fire regardless of difficulty. I have a PS3, and I'm quite fond of it, it's just nobody else has one. --ChiefjusticeDS 19:17, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Just Ah
Hey Chief. Upon Checking my e-mails, I discovered that some IP edited Julius Malema. Disgruntled and ready to revert pointless vandalism I hastened myself to the article, only to discover that this particular IP actually added something funny to the article! In my surprised excitement I just had to tell someone, and I figured you would either care, or pretend to since I am your n00b. So the article is coming to life! --BlueSpiritGuy 21:17, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- I noticed, in fact I was so interested that I was sat here watching them do it, my revert plunger at the ready. It just goes to show that IP's are sometimes useful and productive, indeed they fix loads of small errors in articles and even write impressive ones, but you will have to watch out for vandalism too. Also you might be interested to know that it looks like the IP is in the same country as you. --ChiefjusticeDS 21:23, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- I figured, since that Caster Semenya thing is very recent and I don't think many people outside of South Africa know about it. And thanks for adding it to the recent articles on the front page. --BlueSpiritGuy 21:26, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry that was my bad, hit the wrong key--BlueSpiritGuy 21:28, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- No worries, you edit conflicted me fixing it, I had written such a hilarious edit summary too. The error was that you closed the line command with this \ not this /. So my hilarious response was "Watch your slashes, do a PEE review if you want to be indiscriminate". You didn't need to know that but I'll be damned if nobody was going to find out about it. --ChiefjusticeDS 21:31, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh I forgot to delete it, so it went in anyway, admittedly it isn't funny at all now but who cares? --ChiefjusticeDS 21:34, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- I do--BlueSpiritGuy 21:37, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- And how do you know this IP is in the same country, Chief? Are you trying to access the Secret Knowledge? 86.854.32.179 04:28, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, I'm just smarter than the average

Hi Chief
Sorry to be a bore.... Thanks for helping out with archiving BP. But... Please Do Not do that again. We keep the number of people who are "allowed" to do that to a minimum. Thanks for all your help with the welcoming and such, but please no archiving of BP, QVFD or VFD. Thanks. MrN 13:50, Oct 19
- Sure thing, I just noticed that it needed done and was thinking of this at the time. I did BP once before and nobody objected so I figured that once everything had been checked there would be no problem with it, but I understand why I shouldn't do it in future. --ChiefjusticeDS 14:48, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
ITSCON
Hey Chief, pass the pipe, OK? Well, I finally got past the spikey-style review of SPIKE, and got it through my thick skull what he was trying to tell me. Accordingly, and following Spike's advice, I completely rebuilt the page on ITSCON. And it's apparent that he was right, and now it's WAY better.--Funnybony 14:38, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
- Good, do you want me to leave it on PEE review or are you happy that you have enough feedback right now? --ChiefjusticeDS 15:00, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm really glad it was reviewed by Spike. He was 100% correct. So you can take it off Pee review. I'm not suggesting that it's a nom for feature, but at least remove the stub from the end, and if you like it then by all means nom it. But that's not important as is removing the stub at the end so it can be a main space article. Respectfully and reverently submitted to H E ChiefJustice. Thanks dude--Funnybony.
- No problems. Oh also, the ICU tag should expire on it's own and someone will check it when that happens, it looks to me like it should definitely be kept. Worst case scenario: if you do find that it is deleted just contact the admin that does it and see what they say --ChiefjusticeDS 17:34, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Question
I'm not complaining, but when I was checking the maintence list to see if my reviews were good, you said 2 of them needed more information. What do you mean by that?--- 03:12, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Essentially it means that in my judgement 2 of your reviews didn't have enough information for the writer on how to improve their work. Me saying no doesn't mean the review is a pile of crap, it just means that it isn't going to be considered an in-depth review. For someone who has now done 13 reviews I didn't think you had put in enough information. Hope that helps. --ChiefjusticeDS 07:42, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
My Lie
Hey, Chief, GREAT!!! Sorry I took so long to answer. What started out as a short review by Spike turned into the most and best help I ever got from any Uncyclops. He turned a pile of information into a really neat and good article about a very spoof-worthy cult. I have been keeping up with him, and it's now ready for either another Pee or a NOM. But after seeing all the work that Spike has personally put into ITSCON, and the editing top to bottom, I can only take about half credit, which is fine by me, and I really can't imagine how any one could improve on what Spike did. He didn't just write a review, he rewrote the article. And I am mighty pleased with him.
Back to My Lie, I went through and made it all baskets, no blood, no babies. I think I covered all your points. I tried to copy the template you mentioned from Wiki but I couldn't get it to work on Uncyc. I'm no code wiz. If you know how it works please drop it into My Lie. Whatever you want done to this article is fine by me. The subject matter is so horrible that there was nothing to add from Wiki article that didn't make it more horrible. I deleted and rearranged. Added the "VC Basket Family" Pic. and moved the quotes around. Please take another look if you have a chance. It's so terrible that it just must be in Uncyclopedia.
BTW: In the ITSCON article we also have a bold plug for the almighty VFH. Thanks-a-mil!--Funnybony 20:57, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Don't copy stuff from wikipedia, it drips and leaves stains on the carpet. My thoughts were that you could take advantage of one of our existing ones, like this one or maybe this one or, if you are feeling daring, even this one, but not this one. Hope that clears things up on the info box front.
- Well done on the rearranging and rewording, just a bit of tidying up to do now. Good luck. --ChiefjusticeDS 21:16, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, Chief. I ditched the black bar and put in the info box. I hardly know anything about code. But it seems I got it all working, except the image. Is the image too big (need to resize)? What's wrong with the pic? Thanks again--Funnybony 21:56, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Fixed for you now. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:04, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

For donating high quality material to the Pee Review.
Maybe you can build a little fort out of all these rewards you must get- apparently you do a lot of PR? And I see why- your review was awesome. When I'm more than half-awake and capable of implementing the changes you suggest, I will immediately do so. Thanks again! --Andorin Kato 11:23, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

This is the part where I thank you for everything you have done for me up to now. It goes something like this:

Don't know Wikus? Go watch District 9 loser
I also want to inform you that I will be taking a sabbatical until 14 November. I will be here now and then to respond to possible messages and to see that Julius Malema doesn't run away, but I won't be doing much editing. So I guess this is possible goodbye for a while? Thanks again for everything --BlueSpiritGuy 18:32, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
- No worries, enjoy it Uncyclopedia and indeed myself will be here when you have time, unless I get shot, in which case it will just be Uncyclopedia here. Drop me a message when you do return, it will remind me that I need to do something quite important. Enjoy! --ChiefjusticeDS 18:49, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
- I will do. Unless I get shot, like 2 of my friends recently, or kidnapped, like 2 of my other friends recently. But they all made it, so you'll probably see me again then. In the meantime, I'll be on Uncyc not entirely unlike a Blue Spirit of some Guy would be. Until later --BlueSpiritGuy 18:54, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Pee Review: The War That Never Was
In regard to our non-existent contest, I may have to concede. At first I simply wanted to help with the backlog; then I thought it would be fun to have a joke contest with you, especially as it could only help Uncyclopedia; then I wanted to do 12 PR's this month for a total of 15; then I did 15 this month. The problem is I have things I really should be working on outside of Uncyclopedia. I do Pee Reviews because I think they're helpful, but at this point I should take a break. (Of course that doesn't mean that after I finish what I should be doing now I won't sneak back in and do another two or three at the end of the month). King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 22:38, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
- Don't worry about it, at the end of the day the most important thing is that writers get some feedback. In the wise words of Under user "Very few people manage to sustain a high volume of pee for too long, real life tends to intrude in one way or another. Hell, it's stopped me doing as many reviews as I want to each month as well. I'm very grateful for the help you've given over the last month, and wish you all the best with the stuff that really matters.". Which is what he said to another young PEEing member on his announcement that he would have to stop for a while, I think he really nailed the point. Basically this is secondary to real life and we will all still be here when you decide to stick your head round the door again.
- P.S. I WON! I WON!!! OMGZ I WON!!! --ChiefjusticeDS 07:47, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
Now that I've announced a cease fire....
I was minding my own business, when I stumbled across the request for Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Star Trek. I thought, "No, even though I've seen every one of the original episodes, even though I saw all the original cast and the creator Gene Roddenbury at the Star Trek 25th anniversary, even though I voted for this as an Imperial Colonization project, and even though once it wasn't voted for the next project I said I planned to work on the article in my user space, and even though then I thought I'd be too busy to rewrite it," there it was, a shiny, fresh, gleaming apple on the tree of temptation begging me to take a bite. Well, I bit and wrote the review, the bite heard round the world. I hope you'll forgive me! Please don't cast me out into outer darkness where there's moaning and groaning and clenching of teeth! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 04:55, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
- It's OK, work ran over by 4 hours yesterday so I didn't get in until late so wasn't monitoring anything carefully. I guess I'll add it to the list then. I think I'm still winning though. Live long and prosper. --ChiefjusticeDS 07:48, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

UnSignpost 22nd 23rd October 2009
The Newspaper That Contains Neither News Nor Paper.
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. |

HowTo:Rewrite Be Homeless in America
Thanks for your review. I didn't think about my mixing HowTo and Why, so will give that some thought. I'll take a break from it for several hours or a day to give myself some distance, then go back to it. Thanks! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 15:05, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
- In Prose and Formatting you wrote, "I would suggest that you avoid squeezing text between two images, it looks scruffy." I looked at it with two different browsers, and didn't see a place where text is squeezed between two images, so I suspect it's due to your using a different browser than I tried, or maybe our computer settings being different. Can you tell me which images squeeze text between them and I'll try to fix it, then you can tell me if it works on your computer? Thanks. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade???

Go to the fucking intel guys who wrote the bloody press release in the first place and call them out on that. Goddamned tool(s). Correct the damned punctuation yourself.

- Look, if you are going to complain about my review do so in a way that isn't one long stream of anger. Now I don't care if the Intel press release was wrong, all I can review is what is presented to me. If there was a problem with the grammar then it was your responsibility to sort it before you submitted it for review, you can't just submit it without checking and then come whining to me if I review it and say that there is a problem with the grammar. I won't correct the grammar myself because it is not my article, I wouldn't care if it was deleted and never seen again. I pointed out the difficulty to help you, not so you could come to my talk page and have a tantrum about it.
- I also never once told you that your writing sucked, I did the entire, quite lengthy review, in a way that was meant to be supportive and constructive, never once did I claim that your writing was poor, in fact I stressed the point that I knew you could do much better. I accept that my own spelling and grammar has problems of it's own, but that "Goddamned bulk of text" was intended to help you, and took a considerable amount of my free time to put together. I do not expect such immature behaviour from an established user who quite clearly should know better. I will be getting an administrator involved if you ever address my talk page in this manner again. --ChiefjusticeDS 18:42, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
- I'll be willing to apologise to you on one condition. Do not ever, ever again consider writing a pee review of my writings again. EVER. I will also most politely request that you dedicate some time to consider working out a way of presenting your opinions in a less blunt way, with constructive suggestions for improvement. And since your sense of humour is obviously not of a compatible kind with that of us high-brow Brits, I hope you keep your paws off of what you do not understand.
- I can't change my vote on that whatever vote of yours, since I don't know you, I don't know your work except for that which has so insulted me today on top of all the rest of the stress and worries in my life. But I'll revoke the calling names. You may not have deserved quite that expression. -- DameViktoria 19:32, 30 Oct
- And before you get tempted to respond: let's leave this there for now. You might wanna stay away from Luvvy and her stuff for a day or two, but hopefully we can put this behind us without too much more fuss, provided people don't go clashing any further, OK? I'm not gonna get in to who's right and who's wrong, because that's not helpful (and it's a very grey area anyway), so let's just leave it here for now. 'k? --UU - natter 19:35, Oct 30

Pee Review Wars: October 2009
Well, the totals are in, and I have to admit, you won. You did a whopping 22 Pee Reviews for October while I did a measly 21. If this were a vote (and we ignored the other candidates), you got 51% and I got 49%.
Now this is my chance to show how gracious of a loser I am, and how I will follow the will of the people, and how I give you congratulations and such. But hey, did you notice that your review of Abraham Lincoln was filed in the same minute mine was?

Abraham Lincoln by Gerrycheevers reviewed 16:57, October 31, 2009 by ChiefjusticeDS
Yours was apparently filed a matter of seconds after mine, and I didn't notice you had done it when I did one more for what I thought would be a tie. So you won the war for October, but hey, I'd already conceded a week or so ago anyway, hadn't I?
Also thanks for the ninja star and the Golden Shower Award. At least I got the consolation prize. Congratulations! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 04:36, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
- And I still end up with a consolation prize! Pup
- Thanks, admittedly your thinking it was a tie was partly my fault, because your review went in at the same time as mine did, I didn't add it to the list until I noticed you said on your userspace that you had done 24, which prompted a whole lot of head scratching, checking lists of numbers, and eventually realising what had happened from me. Unlucky in our competition but thanks again for working the queue. --ChiefjusticeDS 08:51, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Street Fighter review
For donating high quality material to the Pee Review.
Mad props! It was exactly the summation I was looking for. My concern with the repetition aspect is that I did not want this to fall apart because of the same thing I was using for the humour, so I've probably softened the blows too much. Oh, and in regards to the factual nature of the article, with a few minor changes (changing the word dash to apostrophe, having a ten button control instead of six buttons, changing dates, etc) it is predominantly true.

UnSignpost 29-10-2009
Woop Woop! it's the sound of the Police UnSignpost!
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.

Review
For donating high quality material to the Pee Review.
Superb review sir. I am much obliged. Re: deletion of the original reviews, I was following the guidelines on the Pee Review guidelines section which quite clearly state: 'If you get a lousy review, just revert it and ask for another one'. This needs to be changed if this is no longer the case. --Knucmo2 19:11, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh damn. We have a user here who actually reads and follows the directions? What is this site coming to! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 19:19, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, cheers for bringing that to my attention, I shall reword it. Thanks for the award too. Yeah, what next? We will have to start wording all our policies to prevent people escaping bans on technicalities, I won't be able to sound smart any more --ChiefjusticeDS 19:22, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I'm sure you'll figure out a way to sound smart.

Works great at parties! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 19:37, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm going to try an experiment Chief - I am going to revert to an earlier version of Allah's law, which had a totally different tone and scope. As I am the only one to have worked on it a lot, the revert will upset nobody as its all my work. All I need you to tell me, if you could be so kind, is to say whether you think the earlier 'model' is better, or offers better scope for comic potential. I await your response! --Knucmo2 19:39, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
- From what I can see, the older version gets bogged down in tangents and is trying to be far more scientific about it. One of the best parts of the new version was the idea of explaining it from the perspective of a devout follower, I thought that, if done correctly, could be far more amusing than a maths equation with disbelief and punishment instead of numbers. The tone on the old one is in difficulties too. You could maybe use some of your old ideas and maybe merge some of it in, but I think the new version offered a better way to be funny as well as a more original one, first person is tough to pull off, but if you can do it then it is usually very amusing. Hope this helps. --ChiefjusticeDS 19:47, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

How To: Commit Suicide
Perhaps, but your blanket revert didn't help either. One of the problems of the article is that it's pretty much always been way too listy. Kind of hard to avoid in a HowTo of this type, but I generally remove stuff that people have just tossed in off the top of their head that doesn't head anywhere. The intro-list itself was getting a bit long and there were a couple of bush->obama->bush ad nauseum edits that didn't really add all that much to the humour. I'm not wedded to the edits I make on the article; but at the very least, I would prefer the jokes to actually be funny. Quasispace 05:20, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
- I admit the revert was stronger than I intended it to be, the main target was the intro paragraph which I thought looked better before you changed it up. Perhaps that's because when the word porn appears in an article it is usually vandalism. I haven't set a constant watch on the article and I welcome your future contributions to it, I would just recommend that if you are going to maintain it you work at your tone a bit. I apologise for reverting parts of it, that was done in error. --ChiefjusticeDS 08:15, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

For the review. That was the shortest twentyfour hours of my life I must say. Also what did you mean by "a oretty" surely you were being ironic with the lack of "an" before a vowel word. But I don't know what it means anyway. You're absolutely right about that first image, it was thrown together just as fast as the article. And I probably could crowbar in some more self-conciously cool MTV style stuff, I just kinda forgot about that the first time around. And also the presenter does remember before the invasion, so I didn't want to overstress it. I will have another look. As for the first line I'm a real beliver in starting in the middle (theres a French term for that that sounds a whole lot more sofisticated but I can't spell it), however what I've written does seem a bit of a contradiction, will see if I can make it a bit clearer. Anyway, tanks very much. Orian57 Talk 14:59 5 November 2009

Thanks
Hey Chief, thanks for the review, I'm glad I got it reviewed at this early stage (although I'm not sure if you realised it wasn't finished?) as you've given me a lot to think about and some good ideas for direction and how to improve what I've written already. I suppose I should have emphasised that it was concept and format I was most interested in criticism of, I know the details are still lacking and humour is one of these details. Anyway, thanks for the honest appraisal and I'll try to implement it into the next draft :) --El Sid, the lazy one • parlez-vous franglais? 19:43, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
- I figured you can't have been finished with it, but I find that if I review it with that mindset then I start allowing far too much for it, I once let an article get away with loads of errors because it wasn't finished, so now I review them all as though they are completed so the author knows where the article stands. Glad the review helped. Good luck with it. --ChiefjusticeDS 20:49, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Hey Chief. Just checking if everything is still here. Congrats on the Uncyclopedian of October thing. You deserved it. And now you are a knight of the potato shaped table. Upon checking the main page I noted someone wrote a nice piece there at the n00b of the month space. I really like it, but I don't know how to find out who wrote it. Can you maybe help me? --BlueSpiritGuy 21:03, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
- Mordillo wrote it, if you are going to offer him thanks then do so on your knees because he is pretty much the boss around here, he is probably even spying on this conversation as we speak. But seriously, yes Mordillo wrote it and congrats on NotM. Remember to let me know when you get back from your spell away, I still have that thing I need to do.

Peeing on Pineapple
I'm going to Pee Review UnNews:Pineapple Is Most Suggestive Fruit but it's so short I know my review will be short. I want all mine to be counted as in depth. Is that a problem? Also I know who wrote it cuz Whyner figured it out. But the user posted under his IP so where do I put a note saying I Peed on his Pineapple? DAP Dame Pleb Com. Miley Spears (talk) 23:54, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
- Ultimately it is all optional, write as much as you feel is necessary to allow the user to improve on their article, I have seen reviews longer than the article they were written to help. I will obviously take into account the article's length when I judge the review but what I would suggest to you is that you try to aim for a paragraph per section, as a guideline. If the user posted under their IP deliberately then just use the IP talk page for it, if they did it accidentally use their user talk page. It doesn't really matter since most people will have a watch on the page anyway. In-depth reviews are sometimes not possible, but we tend to take more factors than length into account when we judge them, so as long as you are making some effort to help and be constructive you should be fine. --ChiefjusticeDS 00:03, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
- You might want to have a glance at my own An Article Written by Somebody that Didn't Read How To Be Funny And Not Just Stupid: A Retrospective. Reviews can definitely be longer than the articles they're reviewing... 00:33, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
- Or have a look at the majority of my reviews. I do tend to have longer reviews for longer articles, but some of my earlier reviews where significantly longer than the original article. Take this as an example. Pup

DofE
Thanks for the PEE. I entirely agree about the repetition and the foreign visit thing. I'm trying to move it around so that all the foreign visiting is a Gold Award thing. But since each level of the DofE requires the same skills practised over different lengths of time it may not be possible. I've tried to make the community service thing go bronze - parentys serving you, silver other kids serving yopu, gold - the world serving you. I also altered the need to walk up mountains too as you were also spot on there.
I will try to spot the remaining typos (though this isn't something I have a good record on) and try to keep the tone consistent. The only thing I didn't quite get was the need to reference the real award - after all, the real award is split into 3 levels, each requiring physical, skill, expedition and community service, like the fictional one.--Sog1970 17:00, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
- Soggy, I know you've been trying very hard, but let's face reality: do you really think you're ever going to write an article good enough to be featured? For some people, no matter how hard they try, things like "Featured" and "Writer of the Month" are just beyond their ability. Have you thought about basket weaving?

Pee Preview Problem
In regard to my latest Pee Review, I didn't know what to do with it. It sounds as if most of the article were translated from a different language by Babel fish or some other computer translation program, or written by someone with a very limited command of English. On much of it I was guessing what was meant, so I don't know if my review was very helpful. I tried to do the best I could with it. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 06:13, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
- Basically, there isn't much you can do besides recommend that they submit the article to UN:PS, you can just try to emphasise the importance of using good English and going the extra mile to fix it if you aren't to sure of the language. If you are concerned about your in-depth review numbers then you should bare in mind that I do look at the articles before I check them in. Hope that helps. --ChiefjusticeDS 11:03, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm glad you look at the articles too. I thought about UN:PS, but in this case I don't see it as a matter of fixing spelling and grammar, but of completely rewriting the article. And as I said in the review, in many places I couldn't even tell what was intended, so wouldn't know how to fix it even in a rewrite. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 14:17, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
- In that case, consider referring them to here where they can see if someone can translate it for them, or at least rewrite to a standard where they can take it on to UN:PS. They might also find an uncyclopedia for their own language there. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:37, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

- Another place to go is straight to Siddartha-wolf's page. He has done significant work on FO and he may be able to give advice on what can help. There may also be an issue in not just translating to English but also in humour translation as well. He may be better off sharpening his wit in mother tongue first and then coming back to English later. Pup
- Thanks for both of your advice (is that advices or advici?) I'll tell the reviewee about those options now. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 02:38, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
A further tiny request
Could I get you to do a proof-read on Street Fighter for me. I have been a little sloppy with my grammar in it, and there have been a number of users going in and tweaking bits and pieces, and changing to US English. I have a tendency to be a little grammar blind on my own stuff, and I'd appreciate the help. Pup
- Sure thing, I can do it now, would you rather UK or US English? --ChiefjusticeDS 23:36, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
- US for the simple factor that I wrote in AU and then someone translated to predominantly US. Having said that the game is Japanese translated to US English and marketed at US markets, so it does seem more fitting. Pup
- OK, I'll refrain from changing spellings to UK English. --ChiefjusticeDS 23:49, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Hi
I don't stop by often enough and just say hi and good job, so hi, and good job. I really appreciate the way you have taken on the PQ. It may sound selfish but as much as I enjoy doing the reviews, I prefer to write, which lead to the one and only almost reprimand for a review. But by the same token I feel horrible when I see that escalate out of control. Knowing that I have you to lean on to get rid of a bulk of those reviews is fantastic, and I can't thank you enough. So, thanks.
I'm now going to write something random and purile somewhere to get this wierd taste out of my mouth. Oh look, I actually wrote it here! Pup
- It's no problem, here to help, I always appreciate your help when you are around to give it. Nice job with conservation week by the way, I noticed that you were "winning" as it were. Appreciate the thanks, I'll do my best to keep it up. --ChiefjusticeDS 15:28, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
So I was just wondering...
You're a big fan of Daddy, There's a Zombie in the Garden, right? Well I'm asking because I'm really scratching for ideas and I was sort of wondering what your feelings towards a Daddy, There's STILL a Zombie in the Garden, and by nescessity a Daddy, the Zombie is BACK in the Garden, might be. You know because the best known Zombie movies were a trilogy (and another one). To clarify I am being mostly serious. Orian57 Talk 06:42 9 November 2009
- I think that if you could pull off a second one that can stand on it's own but also provides some extra amusement for people who have read the first one then a sequel would be a good thing. The main problems with sequels is that fans just want the first one again, but different and that is difficult to do. I would be in favour of you trying another one, as you won't know how good you are at the whole sequel thing until you give it a go. The UnBook certainly has the potential for it, there is a lot more that you can do with the idea. Hope that all makes some sense. --ChiefjusticeDS 08:34, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

HowTo from Why?
Chiefster, I did some work on HowTo:Be Homeless in America based on your suggestions. I moved a pic around so I didn't have one right on top of another, and also did some rewording to try to change the tone from How instead of Why? I appreciate your suggestions, as it helped me change the focus with just a few rewordings here and there. If you have a chance and could look it over briefly, I'd really appreciate it.

Why Why? is being a jerk
Chiefster, I appreciate your comment on my gloating. I did admit I was gloating, and furthermore this goes back much further than the current discussion. I approached an administrator four weeks ago about this issue and a related one. In one case, he said "discussion closed" and refused to discuss it with me, and on the other he wouldn't answer my question or give me suggestions on what I could do, even after my post had been there for four weeks. I tried other options, and got no results.
Some people here tend to have a "we can do whatever the hell we want" attitude, but site policy and applicable laws say otherwise. I like this site, and respect you; but as much as people like to think this site is separate from the real world, it isn't. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 22:47, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not trying to oppose your view on it at all. I'm completely prepared to accept what Sansse said because she is in charge. I just think that we won't write anything funny if we are at each others throats. I am all for the upkeep of the law of whatever region you happen to be in, and I fully endorse the idea that laws should be applicable to this site. I also understand why people are angry on both sides of the argument. My comment wasn't to condemn what you were arguing at all, I respectfully disagree, but I'm also prepared to accept what the decision of those better equipped to deal with the situation is. I respect you as a user and the last thing I want is to see you and Colin banned for arguing over an already closed issue. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:55, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
- Well, as I posted on the discussion, I deserved your comment and your "slap." A month's frustration kind of came out at once. I should have said something like "I respect Sannse's decision to remove the image in support of Wikia policy"--no, that still would have been gloating. Oh well. Right now I'm more concerned about a user being banned for deleting other people's posts in the discussion. I'm hoping that was an accident (no, not talking about you or me). King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 23:06, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Questions on this...
Which given it's a review of my work you should have been expecting. I have had a couple of thoughts, and a few slight changes to what I would be looking to do here.
- "Provide more time for the reader to see everything that is in (the error messages)" It was partially due to the limitations that I had in putting this together, and partially due to trying to adjust timing to get it spot on. I rushed this slightly as I was trying to get a couple of things into PLS at the same time, so this is not perfect from that perspective. The best solution I have come up with so far is actually a three fold thing.
- Have multiple images coming up in different parts of the screen, so that the old error messages stay there when a new error message comes up. (The only problem here is that the images at the back will still be the same colour scheme, unless I do some really complicated stuff with the gifs to have it go back to "background" pop-up message.)
- Set these up as a {{click-inline}} (similar to my signature) so that when someone does click on the image while they are trying to click on a link it stays on same page or navigates to a different part of the document
- Have the background stuff as a sub-page that you can navigate to from the main page, so that if you follow the link the error messages disappear and you have a more in-depth article about Microsoft KB and error messages, etc.
- "The main problem that I found was that once you get past (the error messages) there isn't much else here" And that is because the bulk of the humour was really in the error messages and the feel of the knowledge base. If I do look at the above potential solution, this of course means that we get deeper into the text, and that alone doesn't really hold a strong article. There is a joke hidden amongst the hex stuff that you may not have picked up, the Latin is fairly accurate as to where that links to, and there are a couple of other little things in there, but it would need to be significantly longer to be treated as an article of it's own merit. So what I'm thinking is to combine Windows Error and a few other Microsoft related articles together with this one, and have them all redirect to here. Even half thinking about incorporating Microsoft and Windows into this as well.
As for the squeezing at the top, I've made a couple of modifications. I think that should be a little better on that aspect (and I also need to do something to improve the look of it on internet explorer as well).
What do you think? Pup
- I think what you have come up with is pretty good. While I was writing the review I kept having to remind myself of the constraints that the different format places upon you, so I apologise if it came out sounding harsh. I also did realise that there was a lot more behind the error messages than met the eye, but I still think it needed more, because as funny as the error messages were, they didn't really do enough for me on their own. I think your ideas are all pretty good, and the only thing I would caution against is losing the current feel of the article, which is excellent. Like I said in the review, I don't think this feel should be sacrificed for greater depth, what I think would be best is some kind of medium between the two, perhaps providing an appearance of depth in a similar way to this would be most advantageous. --ChiefjusticeDS 20:52, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks and Questions
First off I want to thank you for your review. I'm not dissapointed in the score as this was one of my first articles made, actually it was my third Other than First!!!! and Brute and I never did read the HTBFANJS (even today I read like 50%). However, I have some last questions to ask you. Here they are:
1. You said to cut back on the nonsense. Do you mean like cut back on made up stuff or something like this: Having been the star of both Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica (as seen above), naturally she was going to star in Resident Evil: Extinction. That was before she realized that nearly none of it related to the game, and told them to fuck off. Thus, she was replaced by not-nearly as hot Ali Larter
2. What are somethings I should keep and what are somethings I should best get rid of? (except Claire adopting Sherry as I think that should stick because the girl is an orphan and Claire is like a mother figure to her, and the band thing, for comical reasons)
3. Should I keep the video or replace it with a funny paragraph?
You can answer them on my talk page so it doesnt take much room on yours. Mine need s to be filled anyways. Again thanks for the review.--WILLYOU 333 05:18, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

My two cents
About Suryavarman II, did you check the difference? The guy totally rewrote it, and his version is way better than the old one. For an explanation of the article, check Hyperbole's vote at the now-closed VFD nomination. Colonization Week rewrites don't need to be feature material, as long as they're a sufficient improvement. Just my two cents. Don't mean to be intrusive, just thought the article was funny. 20:03, 23 November 2009
- Again, I don't mean to butt in, but did you check the different revisions of Robert De Niro all right? 20:08, 23 November 2009
- I couldn't find the VFD vote, I had a hunt round for it but must have missed it. Having never played the game I couldn't see much of an improvement, but I will change that now. My apologies, I didn't realise that was the idea behind the article and since the VFD tag was added by an IP I figured the VFD vote may just have been binned (especially after being unable to find it). Cheers for spotting that. On De Niro, you are correct, that is my error again, probably for cutting a corner and checking by looking at this. Thanks for pointing those out, I'll be more careful.--ChiefjusticeDS 20:17, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Hey hey hey
First off:
For donating high quality material to the Pee Review.
I kinda have to give you that because your review on The Pirate Bay was really good. Very comprehensive and really made me rethink the direction the article was going.
The other reason for posting here is that I wanted to ask you to give the new page a quick once-over and tell me whether you think I resolved the problems that you pointed out in your review. From what I gathered, the definition of The Pirate Bay was a bit unclear; I was trying to establish it as an actual place but some of my jokes painted it as an organization. To that end I decided to switch the focus of the article over to the organization slant, instead of the actual location idea. I carefully considered your review and made all the changes I thought were necessary, and I think I did well; the problem is that I'm not sure if it's, well, funny. I think it's well-written and rather clever but I don't know whether others who read it will find it amusing. I suppose that's the other thing I would like you to check out. I'm not asking for another big review or anything; I just want your professional opinion on the two issues I've described to you. Thanks for everything! --Andorin Kato 12:32, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
- OK. First off my apologies for not getting back to you sooner, there have been several reasons for this, primarily that my internet has been very intermittent for the last few days. I agree that your article is well written and I also agree that it is presented with infinitely more clarity than it was before. As I read, everything seemed to fall into place much and by the end I not only had a clearer picture of what you intended the Pirate Bay be seen as, but also taht it was true enough to real life to be an excellent satirisation. You raise the question that it may not be funny after these changes, I think that that is an understandable concern, but one that is not justified, the article may not have any incredibly overt jokes or major laugh out loud points but is still amusing and enjoyable to read. My recommendation would be to go through again and try to liven a couple of the sections up, as you have now gone for a structure that emphasises the clarity of your idea yoou do get bogged down in explanations at times. If you can liven these parts up then your article will be better for it. Hope this helps. --ChiefjusticeDS 10:29, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Think tank
There is something I need your help on. I don't get to LAN that often, and when I do it seldom happens that everyone wants to play Left 4 Dead. Everyone's still doing the DOTA thing. Note the dismay in my tone of voice when I say DOTA. Anyway, understandably so, I very seldom get the opportunity to play with the tank zombie. I know that you have to attack the survivors to remain in control of the tank. So here's my question: Does a throw and a hit with a piece of large whatever it is the tank picks up and throws count as a successful attack, i.e. does it reset that counter thingy? I don't want to waste a precious tank opportunity testing this, but I really am curious. --BlueSpiritGuy 21:55, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
- When you play as the tank in Left 4 Dead the meter that appears is referred to as the patience meter, this depletes when the tank is unable to see the survivors directly or is a reasonable distance from them, essentially when the survivors are out of range of a rock throw. If the tank is able to pick up and throw a rock that then hits a survivor they should not be placed under pressure by the patience meter since they are attacking the survivors. Rock throwing is a difficult move to pull off effectively since the tank has to stand still to pick up the rock and often they are in full view of the survivors when they do this, my advice is to just get in amongst the survivors and hammer the attack button. Hope that answers your question. --ChiefjusticeDS 10:34, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
- Yes it does! Thank you. I'm asking because last time I let the patience meter run out. I don't like rock throwing, but wanted to know if it could be used as a last resort to save the meter. Now I know. Thanks man!-BlueSpiritGuy 14:26, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I'm going to give it a look over later in the week based upon advice from both you and the first Pee Reviewer, fix it up a bit, and see what you think.

- During the last month I've been looking over several of your reviews of reviews, i.e. whether a review's in depth or not. I think I've got a good handle on it, but could use your guidance in the beginning. Any suggestions? King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 18:09, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
- To be honest just because you are a Steel Kidney doesn't mean that you need to start checking the list immediately, I have a pretty good handle on it right now. My recommendation is that you stick with your reviews for a few more months before turning to the list as it is ultimately just one more job to do, and incredibly easy to do wrong and break. I would appreciate you taking a look at the reviewed list and, if you see someone giving out poor reviews, have a kind word with them on their talk page and instruct them in the ways of PEE. That would greatly speed up the checking end of the process. --ChiefjusticeDS 18:49, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
- Sure I can do that. I just thought that you're having to do a lot of work going over all the reviews, and wanted to help. But if I can best help leaving a "kind word" on talk pages, I'll do that. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 18:55, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

You are welcome to get involved if you want to help out, my feeling was that you have a lot of talent for both writing and doing reviews, whereas I prefer not to overburden myself with the writing, so I have plenty of time to do the checking, whereas you will have more time for doing more reviews, which is good and writing more articles, which is better.

I revised my article on Carnies according to your advice. I shortened and sweetened the sections on Soviet Rule and Carnies today, which I felt was the main problem. Would you mind taking a quick look, and giving me any more advice/criticism you have to give? Thanks. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 01:26, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- I will do, I have to sleep first though, so I'll take a look tomorrow. --ChiefjusticeDS 01:28, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- That has essentially solved the problem, it feels a lot less laborious to get through those sections now, and, while I still feel the rest of the article is better, it is now far more succinct. Since that was my major criticism any other problems are fairly minor and you have sorted them. I would have to sit and look at your article for quite a while to identify any further difficulties, which kind of defeated the point. The only real problem is that something tells me the article will not be received too well by the community, some aspects of the humour seem to be suited to a particular type of humour, but I have been wrong before. Well done. --ChiefjusticeDS 19:32, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you. The prior Pee Review I got was also very positive, so hopefully it fairs well. I'll nominate it tomorrow, I think. Thanks.
- Also, I feel you deserve one of these from me:
For donating high quality material to the Pee Review.
- For both reviewing a good deal of my articles, and for being two reviews away from being the number one Peer of all time. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 06:56, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
Please check my work
Chiefster, please check this and see if this is the sort of thing you'd like me to do in regard to Pee Reviews that might fall short of modern industrial standards. Happy editing! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 08:09, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- That's excellent, exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for. --ChiefjusticeDS 09:43, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Glad to help. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 19:49, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Good news--the reviewer was very nice, and made some significant expansions! (I thanked the user here) King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 20:08, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
Hey Chief
I think you're using an old version of the QVFD script. It's available as a gadget now, in your preferences. If you blank the relevant part in your js page and enable it as a gadget, it will automatically update when changes are made to the MediaWiki page. The same applies for ban patrol. Cheers!
16:12, 3 December 2009- Ah OK, I will get rid of the one I currently have then. --ChiefjusticeDS 16:14, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- The new ones aren't appearing and my Ban Patrol one went missing this morning. Do you have any idea why? --ChiefjusticeDS 16:18, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm. I've had this problem too. My internet keeps loading, but never comes to the point where it loads my enabled gadgets. Maybe it's something with the Wikia servers again.
- What browser are you using? As my ban patrol one works in firefox, but not chrome. --ChiefjusticeDS 16:24, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Firefox. Maybe my internet is just really slow today.
- The ban patrol one works in firefox when I don't have the qvfd one on my .js page. Weird. --ChiefjusticeDS 16:28, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- You should try Netscape Navigator version 1.2. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 18:56, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

You are perilously close to the edge of urinary doom
Do you realize that, right now, you're only two Pee Reviews behind UU? You know, the person who's a admin? One with real power? And you're threatening his lead? If you get one more Pee Review than UU, or even tie, God help you. I think you'd better quit for the month right now. Also this has nothing to do with your having one more Pee Review so far this month. I'm not in competition. Really. (Seriously, I'm not in competition; I really hope to have less time editing here, because that means I'll have gotten more work. Damn Recession!) King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 19:48, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunate. Speaking of doom, we have nobody for this month's RotM! We have gone through everyone. Well at least it's one less thing to archive on new year's day. --ChiefjusticeDS 19:56, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I thought about that too. The most active reviewers (those who did at least one review last month) who haven't won RotM have done like 8 or 9 reviews total--or less. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 20:04, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
- We should just nominate UU. I think that's usual practice at times like this. --ChiefjusticeDS 20:07, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Superb review! I understand completely what you mean and will put those last changes into effect soon! With regards to the island image I was refering to the painful torture of living on the island which compares to grating away at your forehead with a cheesegrater which is slow and painful.
Thanks you for helping me perfect this :).

And now, a prestigious award
This here is an award not bandied about lightly on this benighted website. This here is something to be worn with pride. This here is for racing up the pee charts with positively indecent haste. It is also for continuing to review after winning RotM, and also for continuing to review while checking the list, two things I have rarely, if ever, seen. This, in other words, is for extremely solid work, and should be accepted with more than a tinge of pride. Huge kudos to you Chief! --UU - natter 13:37, Dec 7
- Wow. Not that you don't deserve it, but wow. Why didn't you get this sooner? • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Saturday, 10:30, Dec 12 2009
And now for a not necessarily completely different award
ChiefjusticeDS has now peed in depth on 125 articles, making him Uncyclopedia's most peeingest reviewer based on verified Pee Reviews. This swirling ninjastar recognizes a user that is constantly working to improve Uncyclopedia, but also has a hypnotic effect of making the recipient desire to keep on peeing.

Pee Review Records
I took the liberty of moving a number of Fresh Stains into Retirees (the page says if they didn't do a review last month, they join the smelly retirees). Also I was wondering, has Hiatus Hernia done five quality Pee Reviews now? If so, we can add her to Fresh Stains and put a template on her page. I don't know an easy way to check earlier than November--do you? King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 07:08, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
- We don't add people into PEEing, they ask and then we consider them and then myself or UU will dredge through the completed reviews to find the ones relevant. Also Hiatus Hernia is not currently eligible for PEEing membership having completed only 4 in-depth reviews, if she gets to around 8 or 9 and she hasn't put in a membership request I will go asking, but we cannot force membership either way, if she wants in get her to put a membership request on the committee page and I will take a look. --ChiefjusticeDS 09:25, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
- I've been meaning to update that retirees time specification thing - Boomer put it in place way back when, and I don't think it applies necessarily. Some folk may not have reviewed in a little while, but are still active and may well review at any time. But others are obviously gone and not coming back any time soon. I think it's more a matter for discretion than a set length of time. Just thought I'd mention it. --UU - natter 11:03, Dec 11
- All right, appreciate it. I just noticed it said one month, which I figured was an incentive for people to stay current. I've noticed that some users do one review a month, which I figured was to keep current, so thought the incentive might be working. But if you're going to change it, then I'll go by what it's changed to. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 19:56, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

Finishing touches
Hey chief thanks again so much for leading me in the desired direction with my article. I have gone over those niggling little issues and followed your suggestions, but I dont feel it necessary to put it through a whole review again. Could you just perhaps take one last glance at it and tell me if you feel its there yet and offer some suggestions on the last changes?
Thanks chief you rock.
Sir ACROLO KUN • FPW • AOTM • FA •(SPAM) 09:30, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
- I promise I'm not ignoring you, but I've had a hectic few days, I'll get back to you on this soon though. --ChiefjusticeDS 00:11, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
A fast and Furious thanks
It matters not
Thank you for your helpful review of Matter. I have made a number of changes to the article based on your comments. (Along with a few minor sentence additions and changes).
- A number of being drunk references have been removed. As far as I can tell, those that remain are essential for other reasons in their section.
- I have corrected spelling mistakes and some grammatical errors (with the help from the Guide to good English in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary. (My original "from drunken experience" sentences remain in the same format, as they were grammatically acceptable in the first place, and broken down in the way I intended them to be read).
- I have replaced several of the unnecessary jokes with links.
- The first picture has been decreased in size.
The two images in the "Classical States of Matter" section, however, I have not changed. The main reason for this is that any further resizing or spreading out of these images still results in the same issue or worse (some of which cause images to span sections, which I believe to be less tidy). Also, this issue does not occur on a widescreen monitor if the window is at full width, but I still think it is the least objectionable format. If you have another idea about this, please let me know.
I currently have no other ideas for expanding the "Classical States" section that do not deter from what is already there. (If I had, this could actually help solve the formatting above).SuperBario 20:05, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
Bob teh sperm
I got to say, this is the first time I see brown in the pee template.. Anyway, could you put it up for deletion, please? I want to see how many Delete votes will it get. SIRE FREDDMOOSHA AMUSE ME • 03:16 • Sunday, 13-12-2009
- Are you certain? Deletion is very radical, and there are better reasons to put something on VFD. I would much rather you work to improve it or stick a rewrite tag on it, as it has definite potential. I apologise for the low score but, in my view, the article could be much better than it is. I hope you do carry on working at it. --ChiefjusticeDS 22:18, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
- Personally, I'd vote Strong Keep on it on VFD, although I'd vote against it on VFH. And I suspect that a plurality of Uncyclopedians feel that way. There's such a thing as a pretty-good-but-not-great article, and I think Bob the sperm is an example. 06:33, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Again going into the VFH isn't and shouldn't be the epicenter of your writing. It should be your level of fun - did you enjoy writing it? Than why do you want to delete it? Pee review as well should be another opinion of what could be improved - and not an indication of whether or not it should be deleted (which I don't think was Chief's intention at all). Personal example -I thought this was a good VFH candidate and it was massacared. I was a bit pissed off, but the thought of deleting it never crossed my mind because I had a great time writing it (and photographing it as well). Last but not least, VFD should be used as a testing ground. What if will get deleted? What did you achieve by it? Your article will be removed and you will be pissed off even further. ~ 11:23, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Well, when it was up for vfh, two users voted delete, so yeah, I wanted to see how many others thought that way. But, I was totally sure that it'll get way more than three keep votes, so I didn't have to worry about it getting deleted. Also, you're right; vfd should not a testing ground, vfh is not the pinnacle of funny, and I really enjoyed writing this particular one. SIRE FREDDMOOSHA AMUSE ME • 15:31 • Monday, 14-12-2009
- I did voice my opinion over that voting style. And by the end of the day - you enjoyed writing it, why VFDing it? ~ 16:50, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- I was high on kittens at that time. SIRE FREDDMOOSHA AMUSE ME • 17:17 • Monday, 14-12-2009
- I thought I'd just chip in with my opinion. Whilst it may not be of the right style for a featured article, it is still an amusing piece of work (It made me laugh a couple of times). I think the article could be better, but I would rather have it left in its current form than deleted - not all articles can be featured, and some probably ought to be left alone rather than pander to the strict stlye of the "featured article".

Pee Review maintenance lesson please
Chiefster, I noticed that on User:Cajek/Pee under Maintenance that some reviews have a link for Override and some don't. I'm curious how that works. Thanks. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 02:35, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Those are my own reviews that I have checked myself. The override link is both so that UU, in his infinite wisdom, may quickly change a judgement on one of my reviews and secondly so that new reviewers do not feel that there is no way my reviews could be deemed not in-depth, it is a question of fairness and no user, except UU, having free reign over PEE maintenance. --ChiefjusticeDS 18:02, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

I, User:Happytimes, have been giving this new-fangled Unlegal department some of my best thoughts lately. Some things have come to mind... (Lawyers speak in third person right?) Ahem, ~H~ *CA* lack of organization, *CA* no legal dictionary set-up yet, *CA* lack of significant pay for ~H~. See summons if it be to please you.
Cajek's List
Ok, I never knew this existed until a few minutes ago. I never expected to see you hiding in my toilet and watching me pee (and passing judgment on my posture). You could have told me, you know, that my review was too harsh or not detailed enough, instead of commenting about it on a page that I never even knew existed. But now that I know it exists, you don't have to tell me anymore. I've always known I tend to be a bit harsh, though, mostly because I didn't think I need to edit and reword my tone in a review like I need to in an article. So, yeah, in the end this post doesn't really have a point. I just want to express my shock and awe at what you guys do in PEE (it's not an acronym, why is it all capitalized anyway?). ~
10:10, Dec 15, 2009- My apologies, I tend only to take my criticisms to your talk page should you repeatedly give out poor reviews, for the most part you are doing OK and I thought there was no reason to risk alienating you by coming to your talk page and announcing that I knew best. My criticisms tend to be on the basis of experience, I have had several nasty backlashes from reviews that people felt were too harsh on their work and I find that an encouraging tone that expresses confidence rather than cynicism is the best way to work. As for PEE it is the start of the full acronym which is PEEING (People for the Evaluation of Excrement and Influencing Nominations for Greatness. Hope this makes things a bit clearer. --ChiefjusticeDS 13:17, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Review
First off, thank you for your glowing review of my article, which I moved to the mainspace. As for the reason for the inconsistent tone and lack of conclusion, I tried to mirror the tone of the Associated Press to the T, and their fact check articles often lack a true conclusion. I will make additional minor changes as you suggested. One question- Do you think this will hold up well on VFH? Again, thanks!--You know what the music means... Our time is up. 01:00, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
