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:Gravy666/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 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 put {{adoptme}} on your Userpage to join.

Congratulations!

This is a great time for you, for you have been adopted by The Improver. Under me you will turn from n00b to 1337 in seconds. Under me, you will turn from somebody into an everybody. Under me, you will turn into this and that and so on. Let's stop the sharade and let me say that you will become better then you ever were when I'm finished with you.

First task. Write me an article, let me see what you got. --The Improver talk • contribs • 17:00, Apr 23 2008 (UTC)

I'm (attempting) to edit the Sam Fisher page, because it is entirely unfunny and copy and pasted from Wikipedia. --gravy666

Well Be italic. Do it, edit that article. If you have any questions, just ask me. --The Improver talk • contribs • 17:08, Apr 23 2008 (UTC)

The biggest problem for me is going to be making it funny. There is a lot of stuff on that page, so I won't edit the entire thing yet, but I am working on it. Read through it a bit, see if you noticed anything different. --gravy666

I've noticed some improvements. But you need to quit using refrences to memes like "your mom". The reason is they're seriously funny. I mean one website. Encyclopedia Dramatica is dedicated to memes, but do go there at your own discression. Remember, "Once you see it, you can't unsee it". Remove any refrences to movies cause it just gives away the joke entirely. Joke like "Like in the Movie Die Hard" are a dead giveaway to the joke and as such. Won't make people laugh.

Remove the equipment section. It just's unnedded stuff that doesn't belong in an article, also try reducing the refrences to other games. They just clutter out the article. Also try to add some images, Images give the viewer something to look at and refrence the article, the caption is also important as it allows you to describe what's happening in the picture to make people laugh. Don't worry, writing an article about a well known guy is hard, especially when you run out of jokes. But be persistent, don't give up.

Also forget everything you know about humor. (anything you saw on YTMND, Facepunch, Something Awful, 4chan, etc.) and relarn the humor. HTBFANJS is a great source for humor tips so use it constantly as a refrence. If that wasn't enough. You might want to take a look at a lot of the featured articles. These articles are chosen by Uncyclopedians as the best. Also take some time to watch some comedy television shows. TBS has a lot of good comedy shows that are really, really popular and funny. Also take the time to watch HBO Comedy, cause it has acts by famous comedians and these comedians are known to be funny. You could also learn a thing or two from them. --The Improver talk • contribs • 18:14, Apr 23 2008 (UTC)
