A bit shy?

Ah, you've come to the right place. See Rule three of Uncyclopedia's Holy Rules. Hasn't anyone given you a welcome template yet? Well, welcome. There are blah blah blah articles on "writing comedy" that you can read. But you might be a natural, and if so you'll find this a fine playground. So live up to your name! A nice choice for a name. If you have any questions ask anyone here, and if they don't know, ask someone else. You can see where most of the new things going on are "going on" by looking at the "Recent changes" click over on the left on the navigation bar. Random features lets you explore what's come before, although there are something like 2,000 of them (I don't know how many, it's somewhere around there). And stuff. Welcome again! Aleister 20:10 13-5-'12

p.s. Wooohh, you were here for a few months in '005, at the childhood of the site! Welcome back (a month ago)!

Hey bro

Don't write small articles that are very short, they will get deleted, bashed, DASTROYED! We don't want that to happen. If you plan on working on one, use the construction template: {{Construction}}. Also, nobody welcomed you? Let me slap your page with a VERY LATE welcome lol Mattsnow 16:09, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Welcome!

Welcome to Uncyclopedia! Make yourself comfortable. Want a Coke to go with these peanuts?

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:Flyingbird/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!

We also have an impressive amount of rules that you should read, it'll take a couple of days at least. Then, you can reward yourself with our Welcome Party for Noobs!

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!  --‎ Mattsnow 16:09, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

I can spot a GBV fan from a mile away. Good articles so far, by the way. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 23:10, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

Nice work so far. Quick suggestion after my second cursory glance - change it to IPv3.1416. Long numbers are a pain in the arse for readability, and generally don't really add the funnies. This keeps the funnies, but improves readability. Also given it's related to IPv4/IPv6 having a lower integer adds to the humour, as it's essentially saying it's an upgrade on an outmoded concept. Yeah - that joke will go over a casual readers head, but someone who understands nomenclature of computer stuff would appreciate it. As an extension, I'd even suggest IPv3.1416β, or a step out into inaccuracy would be IPv3.1416ß, which only those who knew the difference between the Greek Beta and the German eszett would pick up on. (I like subtle jokes peppered in with blunt edge humour.) Nominally Humane! 01:43 21 Jul

Very good suggestion, I shall make that change, thanks, PuppyOnTheRadio! IPv3.1416β it shall be. Flyingbird (talk) 15:13, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm... I see you have a Convention Bug. Could you at least categorise them? You also seem to be developing your own meme template which could easily fill up a wiki - for example here Convention of Toyama about rabbits and Convention of Roanne about ducks. So I guess I can look forward to the Convention of London about pigeons? This sort of stuff is discouraged on uncyclopedia as it is like creating your vanity world to which only you can contribute to. One off articles are ok, a series not so if it cannot be linked even tenuously to something that others can understand (hence the wikipedia links you see on many articles). There are a couple of precedents which I can cite: this writer and his Slappy Squirrel series which were in the end all removed when the writer refused to back down from creating a series of articles around a non-existent TV series. Also more recently there was a Postman Pat article where a writer overcooked an idea and wrote out about six series of episodes, all of them made up and impossible to edit or cut back. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 10:46, July 30, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I shall leave it at a series of three and add a category soon. Flyingbird (talk) 18:24, July 30, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Flyingbird. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 18:35, July 30, 2012 (UTC)

Eh?

What did you mean "influence other jury members"? I was told to judge any way I want to - so I did. -- Style  Guide 17:08, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Multiliteralist. Of course, I do not mean you did anything wrong, I think a different way of voting would be better. Suppose we have some food and we can tell whether we like it or not. The first person immediately says only two of the dishes are ok and the rest is not even worth trying. I think the other persons will be influenced by that. Flyingbird (talk) 17:11, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

If they are --- I don't suppose they will be, though. Few are influenced by my opinions, luckily for all of us. Sorry, almost forgot: this is the way EMC told us to judge the T-shirt images (just say which should and which shouldn't be T-shirts). -- Style  Guide 17:30, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your reply, Multiliteralist! Your careful feedback is appreciated in any case! The elaboration on which should and which shouldn't be T-shirts may influence others, but life sucks anyway. ;-) Flyingbird (talk) 17:35, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Hands dirty

If you're looking to get your hands dirty and help with a couple of articles, please take a look at User:IFYMB!/Creating United States presidential election, 1820. It could really do with some help right now and I would be deeply gratified if you could help. IFYMB! Talk to me baby! 15:51 30 May 2013

Hello!

A warm welcome and hello! -- MagicBus Talk to me! 19:02, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you MagicBus! I only contribute here every now and then, not all that often! Flyingbird (talk) 19:04, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

By the way, I like your username sound like "Blackbird" or "Blue Jay Way". -- MagicBus Talk to me! 19:05, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I like birds a lot, esp. those that sing like canaries, sparrows, etc. Flyingbird (talk) 19:07, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Cool I like the Blue Jay. I was listing songs not birds.-- MagicBus Talk to me! 19:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

O sorry, I did not get that. :-) Cheers, Carol. Flyingbird (talk) 19:10, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Carol? -- MagicBus Talk to me! 19:11, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I mean, cheers, Flyingbird. Flyingbird (talk) 19:12, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Cheers to you to! -- MagicBus Talk to me! 19:13, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
