Mighty impressed by your Extreme Olympics. I had hoped someone would do that, but didn't even dare to dream that it would be done so thoroughly.--TheTris 08:47, 6 Apr 2005 (EDT)

• Re: redirected links such as "Banks", "Fraternities", "Enemies", etc.: Just to let you know that my intent was (hopefully) to cut down on calls for submits to pluralized titles (which tend to be crappy), especially in the cases where we already have (or will probably soon have) decent submits for the singulars. Is this OK?, or should I desist? --DWIII 15:23, 31 May 2005 (EDT)

The only links I'd removed were the ones pointing to pages which do not exist... oops. As for the "most requested article" page, the proper fix would be to edit the pages that had linked to that pluralized title (for instance if you see "Banks (666 links)" it's the pages that are linking to Banks which need to be changed to (preferably) not link to non-existent articles or (at least) not link to the pluralised name. Yes, changing every page with a link to Banks (for instance) is more work (unless you're a robot) but would need to be done even if a live article were being moved from Banks to Bank. --Carlb 15:48, 31 May 2005 (EDT)

I would have thought that redirects would automagically compensate for future article moves; however, I will, in the future, consider editting the original links themselves (where appropriate), instead of redirecting. --DWIII 16:09, 31 May 2005 (EDT)

You've been nominated for adminship. Please indicate acceptance or rejection, and bring a salad. --Splaka 02:12, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Template category bug

Templates with categories don't auto-update the categories on the pages they are on, with a reload or purge. You must null-edit every page the template appears on (that hasn't been edited since the category change). See this. --Splaka 01:29, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Ok; will try that... thanks, Splaka --DWIII 01:31, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Rollback?

Btw, it seems like you are reverting the hard way. If you look at a user's contribs or on the differences in a history, you should see a [rollback] button now that you are admin. This undoes the edits of the last editor (back to the first edit not by them) and is sufficient for most cases. Give it a try ^_^. --Splaka 22:58, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Hmmmmm... didn't (as yet) think to try out that option. I assume it is set to autofill revert-info (of ___ to last by ___), correct? --DWIII 23:07, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Yep, puts in this message: MediaWiki:Revertpage. --Splaka 23:27, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Awesome; that's going to be more convenient. T'anks! --DWIII 23:32, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)

"The Disease"

Hi there. Is there a reason why names need to be free from quote marks? (do they mess up code or something?) If not, the quote marks in this article's title were deliberate - the name of the condition is "The Disease" not The Disease. --Wyattj 08:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

n00btube/burger-flipping

Ah, I get it -- think the thing through and write more than couple of pars before you post it. Bloody n00bs, eh? Anyways, I've expanded n00btube and burger-flipping. n00btube is a bit (well, a lot) silly but without getting all Whitney Houston, it kind of has a message too. You can think of it as a low-rent Disney animation. Hope you decide to let it live, but if not, huff away! --Armando 04:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Amsterdam (verb)

I agree with you that verbs are actually ment for a dictionary, but this case is different, since the city council has placed a huge "I Amsterdam" sign on the Museumplein. This just *asks* for an entry in Uncyclopedia... PPP shut up!

Thank ya

Thanks for the offer of, what is that exactly, like protecting that page so that it can't be recreated? I appreciate that. Sorry if I was kinda going off and I realize, based on what you said, the motivation in overruling a QVFD. It's just not often that a page on here rattles me like that and I got a little pissy. 'Twas nothing personal and I know you gotta a job to do and standards and protocol and whatnot to uphold, so hey, good looking out. It got deleted pretty quickly anyway, so no harm done. Thanks again. -- Imrealized 23:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

No prob; at any rate, I deprecated all name-space links to the page in question (which usually suffices to hold back recreations of bad material). If this one ever comes up again, it's definitely CVP. --DW ^III 00:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

RE: UnNews:Bush vetoes Voting Rights Act (Audio)

I'm so pleased you enjoyed my audio rendition of your fine reportahge. Thanks for the feed back, and the secret code phrase this week is "right rogering". Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 15:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

On your knees, worthy one! The Right Reverend Major Sir Zim_ulator blesses you. Your blessings are increasing exponentially. In the name of Sophia, the Church of Uncyclopedia and the Universal Church Triumphant of the Apathetic Agnostic, kneel and receive the melding of Zim's holy axe and your wetware. Now go write me a good UnNews article. Cheers! Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 03:48, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hey you bastard!

I was totally going to write an UnNews article about Nazareth being hit by a rocket attack but you beat me to the punch!!! *smile* I guess I don't deserve to write it though since I've mispelled Nazarath like ten times today. I liked your article, I'm going to try and find a picture for it! You rock.-- Sir Claudius CUN VFH (carpe diem) 18:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay I added a pic, take a look and see what you think-UnNews:Hezbollah launches missile attack on Nazareth; Jesus suffers minor injuries-- Sir Claudius CUN VFH (carpe diem) 18:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Great pic, thanks! Also, I'm curious to see what additional ideas you may have had for this; maybe they can be worked in somehow? --DW ^III 18:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I was just gathering some ideas when I saw your article, I think we should get your article moved into the main article space now that it has a picture. Although I am proud of my Khalil Gibran article it would be nice to have today's news on the front page.-- Sir Claudius CUN VFH (carpe diem) 19:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

On second reconsideration, this should probably stay pretty much as it is, now that Zim has done the audio. Also, when somebody eventually creates the primary article for the war itself (Forum:Would writing an article about the israel-lebanon conflict be inappropriate at this time?), all relevant UnNews items can be linked direct from there. --DW ^III 19:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I like the collarboration that goes on in UnNews. Very nice. Sounds like a good idea, probably should wait until the war is over before trying to write an article, or maybe I will take a crack at it. :)-- Sir Claudius CUN VFH (carpe diem) 19:49, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring it ... but I see that you have now NRV-tagged it. This article has been in existence for months, and so, NRV isn't the procedure to huff it. Kindly remove the NRV tag. Thanks. --Ogopogo +S (TALK) 22:52, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

This really need more; it's hardly a stub as it is. Please expand it before I change my mind already, ok? --DW ^III 22:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

It's a masterpiece in its current-form of simplicity. I guess our views differ. I don't see it would be improved by dragging it out in length; length isn't the be-all, end-all. --Ogopogo +S (TALK) 23:11, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Opera (web browser)

Yesterday, in recent changes, I noticed you deleted the article Opera (web browser) because it was vanity (only content was 'It sucks. lol'). Since then, I have recreated this article. How does it look now? -- SonicChao ^Babbel!_Contribs 14:16, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Meringue

I've done a little work (and added some plain nasty puns) since you put this on the Forest Fire page. Am I going in the right direction? I've never tried to be funny in print before (can you tell?) so I'd be interested to hear what you think before it vanishes from teh intarwubs. :) Hopsyturvy 15:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I have taken your article out of the danger zone for now. The concept is fine (meringue as a weapon(?)), but this needs much more in the way of descent formatting. (Imagine if you saw this as it is like now on Wikipedia as a serious article; would you bother to even read it? Remember what we are trying to "mock" here (i.e imitate!).) This article as it stands needs the following to emulate some level of credibility:

• • Bold the title of the article in the first line (3 (') marks on each side).
  • Start with a complete sentence! Which it does here, but it's a bit harder to tell when everything is packed in one solid block of text.
    • The first sentence is not very good here; you are launching into a long sordid history before you even clarify exactly what your subject matter is supposed to be. Try starting with a clear sentence that answers the basic question: "What is meringue?".
  • Consider breaking it into at least 2 paragraphs, possibly with subsection header (2 (=) marks on each side of a relevant header). This will help guide future organization when the article is expanded later.
  • Better linking! Try not to link to nonsense words/phrases unless such an article by that title already exists, or you plan on creating those articles yourself; bad linking only encourages the addition of worthless material. Instead, link to basic concepts &/or popular relevant articles which we already have.
  • Categorize by subject matter where others may find it! Uncategorized articles have a way of floating around uselessly for long periods until somebody finds it by accident, and by then it may be too late to be considered worth salvaging.

Hopefully these suggestions are helpful; and of course there is always pee review if you still need it. --DW ^III 16:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Wow, thanks. I'll have a go, probably next week now (I really should do some work) :) Hopsyturvy 10:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

The Pokemon TOC

Have you seen it on the article? Any way you put it on, it looks awful! I don't think it's really nescessary to have a TOC on this particular article anyway. Didn't want to just revert you though. Is there any reason you think it should have one? • Spang • ☃ • talk • 05:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Working on it now; IE issues apparently. The TOC is needed for navigation, otherwise scrolling is a major pain. --DW ^III 05:28, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Neolithic Age

Thanks for fixing some of the typos on Neolithic Age. Quite a few of my article have awful grammar and spelling usually when I utilise the "Stream of Consciousness" approach to a new article, the ones that just flow and write themselves. Should probably take some time to go back through my contributions.....anyway, just wanted to say thanks. -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

Paranoia

Your NRV-tagging of "The real truth of paranoia" destroys the joke. The page of paranoia are not thought to go into a loop, it is thought to end up on another conspiracy theory page. If we can't agree, I'll put it on VFD. -- Swami A. Suresh 21:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Seeing as nothing else links to there, and is decidedly not a stand-alone article, how about merging it into Paranoia instead? The link could be internalized to retain the original effect. --DWIII OUN CUN 21:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Like this?-- Swami A. Suresh 04:56, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

That will be OK. Please note that I disabled the autocategory-codes in order to protect the subpage from being directly accessed; otherwise it may be targetted again. --DWIII OUN CUN 20:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Brokeback Mountain

Hey, I'm not sure what procedure is here, and I'm here to make things funny & not have "revert wars", but user ToastyCylon has two or three times reverted Brokeback Mountain back to it's confusing unfunny version. Can you do something about this? Or what's the procedure for reporting reverts like this? --Jester 05:21, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I have reviewed the history; to be brutally honest, I am not at all impressed by either "version" (so far). However, I agree that the unilateral reverts on the part of ToastyCylon are considered BAD FORM, and will be warned if this behavior continues. I humbly suggest, at this point, that you open a discussion on how best to proceed on the article (and confined therein) on Talk:Brokeback Mountain, so others (including me) may contribute input. --DW ^III 00:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Done! - see Talk:Brokeback Mountain. THANKS --Jester

I wrote the evolution mountain section of the Brokeback Mountain article, and it brings a smile to my face to see that it's still there. I also originated the Ask Hal 9000 feature, and linked to your unnews story about the 2001 Jupiter Mission being faked from the talk page as a reference (if you liked this article, you may also like . . .). Really great stuff. Glad to see there's another 2001 fan here. I'm obsessed, as you may imagine.

Irish Evil

Hi, I thought I saw you CVP'd the Irish Evil page... I thought I'd explain the joke there. It's pretty much an injoke involving Dinosaur Comics and Wikipedia concerning this comic. Wikipedia gets people doing that to their article on evil all the time, so I think it's pretty funny we have the full "uncensored" version here. Though I can see why not many people would get the actual joke there :) It's not that big a deal really, but I thought I'd explain anyway ;) • Spang • ☃ • talk • 12:15, 19 May 2007

I am quite aware of this, but a simple copy/paste clone from Wikipedia IMO ain't enough by way of inspiration to keep and, as such, would remain vulnerable to summary deletion. As you say, it is specifically a Wikipedia injoke, anyway (which, with that in mind, perhaps could be forcibly redirected elsewhere, if not CVP...). --DW ^III 14:45, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
