Hello. I'd just like to say a big thanks for deleting my page without notice. You're comment "We don't care. Sorry." really added to your sincerity and consideration. Luckily, another administrator was able to help me retrieve all my work, but I just thought I'd let you know how thankful I am that I was able to stumble upon the news that my creation was erased with a few clicks of a button and a well constructed, witty comment like that. I hope you've had a great day, and that you enjoyed being so helpful! – Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.210.204.204 (talk • contribs)

Rooomy ban

Hello, DWIII, did you ban User:Rooomy for writing the article, "Aimsplode did nothing wrong"? User:CandidToaster/sig 03:27, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Seconding this ^ Roomy seems like a promising user, what's the ban about? Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 13:33, 22 December, 2019 (UTC)

(1) The entire "Aimsplode affair" is probably something that should be left in the past, and certainly not be dredged up and placed in mainspace in order to smear a private individual, even if it's (supposedly) in the guise of injoke-type humor. (2) I have no stake in the controversy either way, and I am sure that the valid contributions of every contributor (or former contributor) will continue to be held in high regard here at Uncyclopedia. (3) If I am somehow mistaken in my interpretation of the events, or the specific action which I have undertaken, I will gladly defer to the better judgement of any other administrator. DW ^III 02:49, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Yeah that's fair, I was just curious if you were actually aware of Aimsplode's situation and of what was attempted to parody here. I don't think Rooomy necessarily meant any ill-will with his article, but rather saw an opportunity to cash-in on a recent event - and while I agree that the whole affair should be left in the past, I believe a month-long ban would, in the long run, ultimately just discourage him from sticking around the site instead of just, you know, gently warning him not to do that. He just doesn't seem to be aware of the full scope of things and how touchy the subject really is.

Since this was his first "violation", I hope you don't mind if I overturn his ban and leave him a message about this on his talkpage? Besides, the article had been sitting on main-space for nearly two weeks already apparently and he hasn't edited much since, so I feel like a ban at this point would be kind of unfair. Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 14:55, 23 December, 2019 (UTC)

That's quite OK by me (seeing that you already have done so). DW ^III 02:18, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Re Inquiry on policies

• {{Ping|DWIII}} Which articles have vanity concerns? {{User:MrX/sig}} 15:21, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

The four and only the four which I listed (DDoD, GGoC, MMoM, GGoD). It is now plainly apparent that the contributor intends to create even more these cookie-cutter-titled (and, in my personal opinion, completely unfunny and painfully unreadable) articles solely for the purpose of pushing a pre-planned agenda, and serving little to no purpose otherwise. One or two such articles, maybe, if each one has at least some stand-alone Uncyclopedic value. Four or more are beginning to look like the contributor is abusing Uncyclopedia as if it was nothing more than their own personal webspace (which it is not). BTW, I have no intention of taking any unilateral action at this time; my expressed concern to Nacky (a long-time contributor) was, as I initially said, just a "heads-up" and no more. DW ^III 17:59, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

I very much doubt that Nacky has any plans to "abuse" Uncyclopedia like you described. 22:14, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you BraGreMat, I appreciate it. I just don't get why he's so upset over pages that are literally just fictional things. He says they're unfunny, but they certainly have fans who are reading from the links I share of them. And what pre-planned agenda is he even talking about? My plan was to include the pages as characters that the Castaways (of Gilligan's Island) would encounter. I suppose he hasn't seen the show, but this is the kind of stuff that gives character to an established sitcom that aired on TV long ago. In that show they were always being thwarted from leaving the island they were shipwrecked on. There were Japanese Kamikaze that took them hostage, there were Hollywood film directors, astronauts, natives from other islands nearby, and at one time, they were visited by a jungle boy (played by a very young Kurt Russell) this was what happened in the show's storyline. And so instead of just using all of that as a page about the castaways, I wanted to use more exotic elements. That was my plan. I did have two other pages planned to add (as fodder) for any main articles I would have written. There is no article about the Balrog, or even Gollum. I planned on writing those up. :( I don't know what he finds unfunny about the 4 pages I did recently. And incidentally I planned to include various ones as things that Tolkien's established characters could encounter instead of some lame subject. I mean it's just a backstory of some unhinged characters. They're not vanity. They were to be something to include instead of the very limited array of weird creatures or characters that are available here. And speaking of unfunny, I wonder what he would find funny? On second thought I don't wanna know. Things I don't find funny here are the extremely nasty and overtly sexualized pages and the gargantuan amount of gay porn. I'm not homophobic, but damn. I cringe at the hetero stuff too. That's what I find not funny. Articles that talk about sex (in any context) to a degree that this site should come with a warning label. But it's not something I make any noise about, I don't care enough to worry about it. I just ignore it and move on. And what about pages that are like "AAAAAAA" and that kind of thing? They serve a purpose for fodder in other pages. But my pages can't be? I disapprove of how he assumes that I mean to abuse anyone or anything. Nacky (talk) 05:26, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Nacky

Upset??? No, of course not. However (even if I ultimately find myself in the minority on this particular viewpoint), you have pretty much here, to the benefit of all concerned, outlined a wholesale campaign of agenda-pushing: "(F)ans who are reading from the links I share of them"; "My plan was to include the pages"; "That was my plan. I did have two other pages planned to add (as fodder) for any main articles I would have written"; "I planned to include various ones as things that Tolkien's established characters could encounter". "My plans, my plans, my plans". I am strangely confused, since you have been contributing here for a very long, and have yet to grasp that this is precisely the kind of agenda-pushing which is not the sort of thing that Uncyclopedia (a community that is simultaneously anarchistic and collaborative) is all about. You were seemingly upset that I (while performing administrative duties) added just a little something to an article which you started, and which you swiftly undid. Fine with me; I'm not going to contest that, it's just one article. But when you succeed in setting up your vast collection of interconnected articles devoted solely to your particular interests, are you going to take that same attitude of "It's my way or the highway" on every good-faith edit to any of what you consider "your articles", just for the sake of upholding your personal world-building project which others may be innocently unaware of? Are you going to throw a major tantrum if any one of those articles is ultimately VFD'd and deleted because of unredeeming quality, on the grounds that "You can't delete my article because it's vital backstory to my other articles!"? Uncyclopedia is not your personal webspace. As I said before, Uncyclopedia is simultaneously anarchistic and collaborative; nobody (especially including me!) has exclusive ownership over any one single article submitted to Mainspace. DW ^III 11:50, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

So, I can't have any plans of anything here because that would be an agenda? I had plans to submit pages about Greek gods and other Classic Era personas, I had plans to write about Beetlejuice. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla. And so on. I accomplished those plans. That's an agenda? Has NOTHING to do with ego or fans. I share what I do with others, because I do have a small following, and didn't know that sharing links was forbidden. I don't get what you're even talking about when it comes to "agenda pushing" and you come off as upset when you keep using those terms as if I'm doing something bad. I've seen plenty of other users who made lists of all their submissions and are proud of them, are they also pushing an agenda or egotistic? Where did you get the idea that I'm trying to take over? And my personal page is my own, I should be able to list things there. What rules, exactly, have I broken? AND the reason that I undid your edit was because the subject of homophobia is lit. It's highly toxic in this day and age. To make the suggestion that Leprechauns are somehow against gays is something I don't want on there because that invites someone else to attack me; the author. Nobody is allowed to be homophobic. Shit, nobody is allowed to be anti-pedophile anymore let alone anti-establishment no matter what banana 3rd world thing we're all in now. So I just didn't want that on there. I can use humorous material without bringing in the Gestapo and being placed under the glaring scrutiny of those who would get all protesty and violent. You obviously don't like what I have here, that's not a "tantrum" on my part when I was just minding my own business and having fun. But apparently that's not allowed. When you call someone's work (and I worked hard on what I put out) it brings them down, and hurts them. I'm not A.I. and I'm not a bot. I'm a real person with real feelings. But congrats. I cancelled my plans. The Tolkien stuff will just have to be written by others. I had ideas, I guess you could say those were plans. But I thought it would have been something to do to add to the Middle Earth collection here. But that's not my "plan" anymore. I know when I'm on thin ice. I'll accept the exile, but I feel it's unfair as hell. Nacky (talk) 16:42, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Nacky

BTW I'm not homophobic. I'm an ABBA fan. Been one since the late 1970s. I grew up listening to them. Believe me, I have more gay friends than you could shake a stick at. And not a one of them is involved in any nasty crap. They're actually quite normal and decent people. Nacky (talk) 16:50, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Nacky

As you say, your personal user page, which btw is not in Mainspace, is entirely your own (barring using it as a platform for personal attacks). Hell, even I revel in a fair amount of explicit egocentrism on my own user page, and who doesn't now??? Also I did not mean to say that you were breaking any rules (yet). As I said, I was simply expressing a concern over what superficially appeared to be (and I could quite possibly be wrong here, as BraGreMat says) a developing pattern which could, and I hope doesn't, lead to conflict with other users and administrators. Nothing more. And you are most certainly not exiled! Finally, we power-mad Admins (especially me!) are not the final arbiters on what passes as sufficiently funny and/or acceptable content here, but the Uncyclopedia community at large, through all of our feedback, is. DW ^III 19:22, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

My purpose, even on my own page, is for the art. The craft. The content (even when it's supposed to be content-free), there's where my "agenda" is grounded. The base of it; it's for the comedy. The parody. The satire. The mocking of all things, even those I love I'll make fun of, or laugh with. That was my innocuous intent. I mean, I could have submitted pages about Tom Bombadil's Beard, or even a scathing satire entitled Hunter Biden's Crack Cocaine Extravaganza, or even Time Travelers Cannot Reverse 2016, and explaining that we'll never see the end of that year until the entire matrix allows the Clintons to come, see, and make us all dead. See, that's stuff I've entertained writing about here. But I didn't. Tom Bombadil's Beard is tame and apolitical, which is how I roll, no politics, but now that can be seen as a vanity page. So I won't be touching that one. As for Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, the Balrog, Gollum, and Middle Earth itself, all of that...I just can't. The plans I had for those are shelved. Because you see, I would have to link to several subjects that would require a more thorough collection of all things Middle Ages, or the Dark Ages. Also I would have to drum up something along the lines of the Rune Stones, and underground mines, and treehouses, and that's a lot. I don't do anything half-assed. If I'm going to write about something as expansive and world-encompassing as Tolkien's trilogy and other books (which I can say that I'm an extremely hardcore fan of) I would want there to be material to connect it all together. Like the Greek Culture collection and so on. The pages you didn't like, believe it or not, have strong elements of Gilligan's Island. But they're not only alluding to situations within that world, but there was a reason all those beings were designed the way they were. Also I never told anyone to not edit anything I put up. I just cringe whenever Brogo edits anything I do. And I do keep his edits in except for the weird stuff that didn't really do anything but link to something about wikipedia policies. Brogo doesn't bother me for the most part and he has helped me in the past. So why would I be telling anyone to not edit my stuff? I wouldn't. Remember; it's about the craft. The art. That's what I care about. Nacky (talk) 00:28, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Nacky

Going back to my original objection (devoting 4 or more separate articles to 4 or more separate fantasmagorical creatures all cast from the same exact mold), how about a compromise? Consolidate all of them into 1 and only 1 article, with the title "Fantasmagorical Creatures of the South Pacific" or whatever sensible title you can come up with which best suits the overarching theme you have in mind. This sort of thing I can get behind, because (1) it can be judged solely on its own merits, (2) it cuts down enormously on nonsensical Mainspace article names which collectively can be construed as downright annoying, (3) everything which you need is there all in one place which would serve your nefarious purposes of providing background material for one or more different future articles you may have in the works, (4) such an article may actually encourage its own expansion from other interested users who may (or may not choose to) emulate your distinctive writing style without needlessly drifting out of bounds of a single article, and (5) you may be finding that other contributors accept the general concept enough (even if they absolutely loathe your writing style) that they freely, willingly, and perhaps tangentially in a funny way link to it from their own creations thereby garnering the exposure which you so desperately seek in a natural and unforced manner. DW ^III 13:13, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Your objection is based on your own assumption of what my purpose was. I wanted to use them as entities that I could link to for plots that would call for various known plot points in the show itself. Because of the parody I had in mind for a full Castaways page. One which would have detailed all of them. Gilligan. The Skipper. The Professor. Mr. Howell. Mrs. Howell. Ginger. Mary Ann. And their situation with being shipwrecked on a crazy island that had more traffic to it than any other deserted island. And the sea shanty itself, the show's theme, would have worked with what all I had in mind. I actually put thought into my work, I don't just mindlessly write stuff. With me there's always a purpose even if it's parody. You got me all wrong. I don't have nefarious plans. And I certainly don't seek "unnatural" or "forced" exposure. I only shared my links with my friends. That is all. I was just having fun. I only write for the enjoyment of writing. And if people don't want to link to anything I have, that's fine with me. If they do, that's also okay with me, they can use my pics too. I don't care. Why would I? But from your own words, apparently nobody is going to because my pages are "annoying" and "loathsome" and just not good. And why would I want to put all of those crafted creatures on one page? It would be an obscenely long article. And it would be disjointed. They serve as individual types. Maybe you should also start warning those who write other articles about random things, too? Why am I being singled out? Also, as I've said, I'm not going to do anymore. Your words like; downright annoying, absolutely loathe, and desperately seek are just veiled attacks against me personally. Okay. I can take insults. But I will stay away. I don't wanna deal with this. Maybe you would find better company at wikipedia? This place doesn't seem to be your cup of tea. Nacky (talk) 13:43, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Nacky

Wikipedia just feels to me like they have all the contributors they need. I just look there and feel overwhelmed. And confused. Too many rules, not enough gaps in their info.. I dont know. L10nM4st3r ^{ROAR at me!} / _{What my paws scratched} 21:46, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

This site offered a sort of way to be creative, and build a parody. I didn't know there was only so much space to be had. Let alone that submissions had to met a certain amount (or type) of approval. Now I know. Nacky (talk) 22:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Nacky

Available space is irrelevant. However, spamming would be something completely different... I Am Not Pointing Any Fingers(!!!). DW ^III 23:51, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
First, my opinion (which is just my opinion), is that Nacky's articles in question are funny, have stand alone value, and are made even better by being tied into one concept. Could they be combined into one article as DWIII suggested? I guess. Do they need to be? Not in my opinion. They're fine the way they are. But, humor is subjective. Anyone can go ahead and nominate one or more of these articles at VFD, and we can see if others feel they should be merged/huffed/whatever. As for the concerns regarding vanity and/or agenda pushing, I've tried to look at this as objectively and open-mindedly as possible. I don't see how anyone could call these vanity or agenda pushing. We have a lot of articles about random things, things that are completely made up, and things that don't specifically mock anyone or anything in real life; that doesn't make them vanity. Having a plan to write multiple articles about something isn't pushing an agenda, it's a plan to write a lot of stuff. I've had a plan for a while to finish my article about Captain Um Actually, then I plan to write an article about the Trio of Truth, which is where he works alongside Captain Obvious and Captain Hindsight, who I or someone else will also have to write an article for. It's not an agenda I'm pushing, just a plan for a lot of stuff. And if the stuff sucks, it can go to VFD. So Nacky, don't be discouraged, DWIII has more than once acknowledged that you're a valued contributor here. In fact, if I were you, I'd go ahead and write everything you're planning. But if others feel that it's not up to our standards or could be combined into fewer articles, it can be taken to VFD where the collaborative/democratic part of Uncyc can play out. Cheers. MrX blow me 05:26, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, Mr. X. And your ideas sound great! I always felt that there should be a Captain of the things you mentioned. Which is what Captain Obvious would agree upon. And I feel that I need to decompress from all of this. I mean this did strike me out of the blue, I wasn't expecting that my stuff would be seen as anything other than humor and parody, with a twist of the usual beasts. I wrote the one about a giant tomato just to insert into the JFK Jr. page. The sun is frightening on its own, but a salad ingredient was devastating to him. Being all confronted with what happened and all. But maybe I will write that stuff. It's Gilligan's Island. I just get so into those old shows. I was in stitches when I binge-watched SOAP. Benson fucking kills me! But I digress. In so many episodes there was something that would crop up now and then about some island legend or myth, and the writers would slip in something very bizarre and then add that it was either disastrous, life-threatening, something that was solely attributed to it. Or him or her. So I thought that was brilliant. Granted Sherwood Schwartz was mostly into the slapstick comedy and wasn't on par with the likes of Peter Sellers, Edward Blake and Norman Leer. But Sherwood did have some great writers working for him. I drew a lot of inspiration from them. Nacky (talk) 05:46, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Nacky

So that's settled, then! It was never my intention of unduly interfering with the creative process. Me and MrX may have some interpretive differences over what constitutes "vanity", but that's all it amounts to. And, Nacky, I reiterate MrX's admonition: don't be discouraged(!). Feel free (as always!) to do what you feel is right, and we'll see how everything goes. BTW, no need to spoil all of the surprises... DW ^III 13:03, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Yeah okay. And it's just a bug. I hate bugs. The one I have a liking to feature here is crazy. It's just as unhinged as the other things that cause problems. Doom, Mayhem, Chaos, and Disaster are generally not funny things. So a calamity isn't going to be a picnic. Catastrophe will probably be even more dreaded. People could literally write and post about boats, oars, Gilligan's sailor hat, or Skipper's diet and I could use all of that for fodder. Nacky (talk) 23:16, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Nacky
