Welcome![edit source]
Hello Dimwit, and welcome to Uncyclopedia!
So what's this message all about? Well, I know it looks like this was automatically generated, and well, OK... you caught me. I'm lazy, so I paste it in. But... if you have been sent this it does mean that I have noticed your contributions, and think that you're going to do some good stuff here. So who am I? Oh, just someone putting his nose in where it is probably not wanted...
Anyway, if you have not already, I SERIOUSLY recommend that you read the link below:
Probably the second most important link for a newcomer is:
- How to be funny and not just stupid - Basically it's a guide to writing humours articles which has been edited and improved over time by the users of this site. It's not an insult, and it's well worth a look.
If you want to find out how we decide which articles to feature on the front page, check out the VFH page. Basically, we vote for them. Anyone can vote. Especially you! You might find VFH a useful page to look over as it gives an idea of the kind of standard which you need to reach if you want to get an article featured.
If you want to find out more about Uncyclopedia, try these:
- About Uncyclopedia and The five pliers of Uncyclopedia
- How to get started editing
- Everything you ever wanted to know, but were afraid to ask
- Help Pages - if you need help with a specific issue
- Our Vanity Policies - stuff we don't care about
- The FAQs - a few commonly asked questions answered for your convenience
If you need help, feel free to ask me on my talk page (if this message has appeared in the last few minutes, I'm propablly still on-line). I am an admin, but if you already think I'm an asshole, try talking to another. If you think you are going to be around a while, and would like extra help on a more personal level, you just might be able to convince someone at the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program to take you under their wing. Check out this and browse our list of available mentors. Choose your victim and leave one of them a message on their talk page.
Remember to use the "Preview" button before you save your edits to make sure that the page looks as you want it. I hope you enjoy editing here and being an Uncyclopedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button (

Again, welcome! -- MrN

Hi Dimwit (it's good to type that in such a real context), I've got a few minutes so will give some unsolicited advice. Pull up a chair. Your edits on Chuck Norris were pretty good, but they were removed because they were on an established feature article (which we don't really edit that much), they were a list (list are discouraged here, too easy and what we call 'random', lists are a sign of trying too hard in the wrong direction), and the Chuck Norris thing is soooo last decade. But you seem to be an interested writer. Why not create a user page, study up, and do some real jokey writing. Maybe create an article and work on it, and you can keep the wolves away by putting a construction tag on it. If you ask, people will help with solicited advice, etc. Check out some of the things left in that long boring note above, and come to a party Welcome Party for Noobs and meet some of the people here. Well, enough is enough, enjoy your new community if you decide to stick around. ~
