At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:Dcimiffo/Article about stuff) so you can edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done put the "Work-In-Progress" template - {{construction}} - onto it as well.
If the current colonization doesn't suit your fancy, then browse our rewrite and idea categories. We have lots of articles just sitting around for someone to improve, so don't be afraid - dive right in!
If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Additionally, the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced editors straight to you. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to join. Again, welcome! -- -- The Zombiebaron 19:31, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
UnNews:Swedish province declares independence[edit source]
Welcome to UnNews! I've modified your headline (page name) as shown above. Obviously a province that declares independence is a rogue province, so I struck that word; and no extra capitals is our style.
This obscure fact is in our Style Guide, UnNews:Style, which will also tell you how to correctly code your Sources.
I have one problem with the concept. You seem to be relying on the fact that Swedes will find absurd the concept of this province seceding. For non-Swedes, however, I wish the article would provide more background on what makes it so absurd. The first time I read it, it seemed more as though someone were writing some personal fantasy history than writing humor.
You might also reconsider the paragraphs that merely explain why we don't know what is going on. Although it is absurd for a "news source" not to know what is going on, it may also harm the surface impression that this is a news article.
Your illustration is excellent and I'll prepare a graphic to highlight it on the UnNews Front Page, first giving you a few hours to make any changes you see fit. Spıke ¬ 19:53 2-Dec-10
