This is my talk page, where you can greet me, tell me how much of a super-noob I am, etc. And if you're pissed at me because of something I said, please come here and talk to me about it in a civil manner.

Was that, "...see you around..." a crack at my weight? I BARLEY even know you! Anyway, welcome and such; if you need any help feel free to ask. Someone will be along to welcome you properly soon. ~ Avast Matey!!! Happytimes are here!*  (talk) (stalk) Π   ~  ~  15 Jan 2010 ~ 06:53 (UTC)

Welcome!

Somebody has awarded you a cookie! Now go play in traffic.

Hello, HELPME, and welcome to Uncyclopedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If not, the door's right over there and there is a window over here if you don't fancy walking down the stairs. Anyway, here are a few good links for people like you:

• Beginner's Guide
• Help Pages
• Our Vanity Policies - why we don't care about your friends
• How to be funny and not just stupid

Chief welcomes you!

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 () above the edit box.

At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but most people enjoy writing something while they are here. If you are critical and think the world would be infinitely better if everyone listened to you, then you should become a teacher, but check out Pee Review while they make sure you aren't a sex offender.

If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. You can also look into the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program.

OK, I know you may have seen this message on lots of other people's pages, but I still had to come to your page to leave it here. If you have absolutely any questions, no matter how trivial, feel free to ask me here.

Here are a couple of important things that you should bear in mind as a brand new user, especially if you can't be bothered reading the beginner's guide.

• Read HTBFANJS I guarantee it will be a huge help to you and will stop your early efforts being deleted on sight by administrators.
• If you want to create an article, and you wanted to call it Bleurgh, to create it in your user space you would just make the address bar look like this: www.uncyclopedia.wikia.com/User:(Your user-name here)/Bleurgh. Please don't create it on this page as this is where other users can contact you.
• Always remember rule 2 and be constructive and civil at all times. Honestly, it works (mostly) and it won't get you banned.
• Have fun, that is after all why we are all here.

Again, welcome!  ChiefjusticeDS 21:26, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

I sure am glad I didn't get the 'evil eye' one... ^^'

Oh by the way, I did check out the beginner's guide and HTBFANJS before I actually joined, so I would make less of a fool out of myself.

HELPME 20:03, January 16, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

Awesome! It seems you are well on your way! Looking forward to your contributions.  ~ Avast Matey!!! Happytimes are here!*  (talk) (stalk) Π   ~  ~  16 Jan 2010 ~ 20:32 (UTC)

Thanks, but I don't know if I'll be doing more than editing existing articles for a while. I need to get a good idea and act on it well. I'm slightly nervous about how it would turn out if I did.

HELPME 22:10, January 16, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

Don't be nervous, I'm sure you will do just fine. When you think you're ready, jump in with both feet.  ~ Avast Matey!!! Happytimes are here!*  (talk) (stalk) Π   ~  ~  16 Jan 2010 ~ 23:58 (UTC)

I know I probably shouldn't be, but it's for the same reason as to why I was all "I'm sorry I'm sorry *kissass* *Kissass* *Kissass*- whenever I first start off on any site really, I always fuck up somehow and make a bad first impression. HELPME 00:29, January 17, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

Also, editing someone else's comments, even on your own user space, is considered something of a no no, including when it messes up a link. (I done fixed it). Also it's customary to sign your posts by using ~~~~ at the end. And by the way, I like your response and you're welcome. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade???

A note on comments. To make it easier to follow a discussion, a comment is indented one space further in from what it's commenting on. This is done by using :'s at the beginning of a comment.

So for example:

You are a noobly jerk and should be burned alive! NOTANOOB 23:58, January 22, 2010 UTC
 What did I do to deserve that? NOOB 23:59, January 22, 2010 UTC

The Uncyclopedia UnSignpost

The Newspaper That Gets Its News Solely From Vandalism Johnny Is Teh FAGXORZ!!111 SHUT UP DOUCHEBAG!!11

Jan 21st, 2010 • Issue 72 • Yorkshire-style news

Awards of the Year race thrillingly poised By UU Yes folks, as the first month of this new decade lurches slowly and falteringly towards conclusion, the ... of the Year awards showdown is accelerating towards a thrilling climax! Your ever-topical UnSignpost mascot DogNewspaper therefore brings you this essential and timely guide to the runners and riders!. In the most prestigious award of the lot, Writer of the Year, the race for second place behind prolific funny factory and champion-elect Hype is neck and neck between apparently-no-longer-hirsute TKF fan-club president and feature-machine Guildy and low-profile but high-quality-output, er, feature-machine Sog1970. But wait! There's still a chance they could get caught by the chasing pack of little-known and modest Scouser Mhaille, hetero macho-man Orian57, antipodean canine PuppyOnTheRadio and none-more-metal mosher Monika. Oh, and some other chancers have been nommed without polling a single vote (including DrStrange, who is currently looking likely to become the first Uncyclopedian ever to win WotM twice, but hasn't carried that form over to WotY - odd). Meanwhile, over at PotY, the race for second place behind Sonje is even closer, with both Modus and some n00b polling a creditable one nom but no votes each! Who will pull ahead by the end of the month? It's a competition you just can't keep your eyes off! Disappointingly, the UotY vote lets the side down, with seemingly a boring old race for first place between Belgian one-man categorisation whirlwind, maintenance addict, broken thing fixer, BUTT POOP!!! junkie and footwear-as-handwear exponent Socky and handsome English admin who wrote this article and is not in the least bit biased UU. The apparent scramble to be runner-up to whichever of these two is runner-up is far more interesting, as non-stop wikifixer MadMax goes up against Welsh Rarebit RabbiTechno, not-Yorkshire-enough admin Mordillo, vowel-free-zone Mnbvcxz and Moterfucking Nigger Lover Roman Dog Bird. Damned with the faint praise of a nom with no votes in this category are the pants bomber, talk page king FU Spang, human non-sequitur generator Modus and absent but deadly hockey nut Gerry. And finally, over where it's really at, the NotD cockfight is almost impossible to call! Will plucky outsider RC hold off the challenge of Apple, Apples and Maddie's life? The tension is quite literally unbearable! But remember kids: whoever "wins", we're all still losers. And now, your not-at-all-struggling-for-material Signpost brings you... Horoscopes! By GlobalTourniquet Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) - This week, you have a dream, that one day you will be judged not by the color of your skin but by Simon Cowell.

To (everyone) anyone who cares...

I wish to adopted, but I can't decide by who. So, everyone else will make that decision for me!

And it's not my fault for being indecisive. It's all you guys' fault for being awesome. HELPME

Yeah, we're all full of awesomeness and stuff. But it's really your decision. Have you checked Uncyclopedia:AAN/Adopters?

Also your current signatures doesn't have the time/date stamp, which us anally-retentive types like to see so we know if you posted this five minutes ago or five years ago. If you want the same sig you have now with the time stamp, you can use ~~~~ and it show up as HELPME 20:45, January 25, 2010 (UTC). Hope this helps! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  20:45, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

^I know I should do that...

And I'm like that too, I like to read old stuff from here, and it's annoying when the time isn't there. Guess that makes me a hypocrite, huh?

And thanks for the list. That's my problem though, there are at least 4 there I would like(Including you!) HELPME 21:40, January 25, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

I decided to go with Why. HELPME 00:25, January 29, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

So you wanna be adopted, huh? Like I need another kid! Well, actually, I checked through some of your edits. You did some significant copy editing/proofreading on Nothing, which is something Uncyclopedia needs a lot more of. And when I tried to adopt your oldest sister I had to fight with another user, which was rather bloody, whereas I won't have to fight over you. And you've already been asking me stuff anyway, so, ah, might as well make it official. Congratulations; you've been adopted!

I'll warn you, though. your grandma who adopted me is back, although I haven't seen your younger older sister or your great grandfather recently, and we have this family thing going where Uncle Puppy is pretty safe, but be careful around Uncle Syndrome, so don't be surprised if you get several silly messages relating to you being the new baby. It goes with the family. Condolences. (Also are you a boy or a girl? Excuse me while I check inside your diaper). King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  22:13, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw the blue template and thought "Hey, it has potential, why don't I fix it up?" I also did some work on a couple others I can't quite remember. And "Uncle Syndrome" already called me a douche-fag, but I can tell he's just being a Pleb. ;)

Also, I am not a boy. I'm a MAN. HELPME 22:18, January 29, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

Hey, IRL I was probably old enough to be my adopter's father, and I still got called her baby. :-P King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  05:22, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Well, this is natural for Uncyclopedia. Things that make sense are SO Wikipedia.

Oh, and your first official question as my adopter (ee?) How can I make my signature? I know I do User:HELPME/sig, at least I think so, but how do I actually add stuff?HELPME 05:26, January 30, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

Step 1: Create the page User:HELPME/sig - actually I just created it for the giggles, so instead you can just steal it.

Step b: Put shit in it. Have a look at UN:SIG for the rules on sig length and stuff

Step iii: Go into your preferences and in the signature tab paste {{Subst:Nosubst|User:HELPME/sig}}

Step 00001010: Sign your name with 4 tildes ~~~~ or click on the button above your edit window that looks like a signature.

And welcome to the family, nephew. According to my talk page, you've started to learn how to read. (I usually just look at the pictures myself.) Pup

Thanks! I never would've figured that out myself. I'll get to making it later. HELPME 05:51, January 30, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

Uncle Puppy's answer came quicker. But your Daddy's was longer. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  06:07, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

The easiest way to do that is probably do what I did. Find someone's signature you like on a page, then click edit for that page and look at the code. You'll probably see something like

{{User:Buccaneer Batman/sig}}

Then go to the page

User:Buccaneer Batman/sig

and click on edit and you can read the code they used. Then you can adapt it as your own (with your name and whatever changes you make, of course).

You do this by creating a page like

User:HELPME/sig

Then type in your code and preview it to see if it looks like what you want. When it does, save it.

Then click on my preferences at the very top of the page.

Then in the signature box, type in

{{SUBST:nosubst|User:HELPME/sig}}

Then click the box that says custom signature.

Then save the page.

You can create several signatures that way if you want: sig1, sig2, etc. But the one that will appear when you sign your name is the one specified in the signature box. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  05:58, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

That's exactly how I got the userboxes. That's basically how I know most wiki formatting I know. For example, I just looked at the happy user with a green signature with a dancing banana and such's edit, to see how to do color. I'll make it blue. It sucks now, but this is the best I have at this moment:--HELPME 06:03, January 30, 2010 (UTC)—Sir ¬_¬ | Banter HOMOPHOBE!!! NOTM

Fight the power man, if you stick with the plain old signature then at the end of the day people will see how you have signed your comment with only a simple name and think "Hey that writer must be really intelligent if he doesn't need a fancy signature. He's probably really quite dashing and handsome too". Now if only all the girls at work didn't already have boyfriends... Sequence 15:18, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

UnSignpost 28th January 2010

The Uncyclopedia UnSignpost

The periodical without any junk in its trunk!

Jan 28th • Issue 73 • A Periodical. Period.

Continuing Absence Of Certain Users Forces Other Users To Do Things By UU It has come to the notice of our fearless journalists that some users have recently been desperately attempting to fill the gaping void left by the absence of some other users. For instance, in the absence of part-time dinosaur and popular keyboard feature SysRq, Why do I need to provide this? has stepped bravely into the Colonization brief (and has not, for instance, been forcefully volunteered for the task by MrN), dedicating himself to bringing colons where there are none (such is our understanding). Also bravely stepping into the "ban magnet" position created by the continuing and lamented absence of hyperactive loon Cajek is, well, a plethora of users. Admins, deprived of their favourite joke-ban target, have taken to joke banning anyone in an attempt to get their fix. Even those devoted to doing only good, just and true works have recently been targeted; and as if to prove this very statement, some power-crazed asshole went and joke banned Socky, RabbiTechno and Optimuschris as soon as he'd written this sentence. Elsewhere, ChiefjusticeDS has been filling the gap left by the absence of someone's enthusiasm for anything pee-related right at the moment by looking after the pee list, taking over as the person with the most in-depth reviews, reviewing everyone else's reviews, and generally not being lazy about it all. At the same time, the continuing absence of the yellow and black sig of Gerrycheevers has forced grumbling British curmudgeon UU to return to the Wiki's only newspaper, the UnSignpost, churning out issues that are, let's be honest, mere placeholders until Gerry gets his arse back here and writes something worth reading. YOU HEAR ME GERRY? GET THE FUCK BACK HERE NOW DAMMIT! Rumours that, in the relative absence of Orian57, Roman Dog Bird will take over the position of "token gay" are unconfirmed at the time of going to press. And finally, in the absence of enough content to make this issue balance out nicely, the UnSignpost is once again resorting to using blatant filler for the first time this year. Shameless, that's what it is. Complain to someone - it's the only way they'll learn.

Welcome, from a former Adoptee of User:Why

I guess that makes me like your step sister or something. Welcome. Ask your Daddy to teach you how to vote for your big sister's VFH article: HowTo:Smuggle a snow globe --Puffskein 19:00, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

I've already voted on a few VFH articles in the past. I'll take a look.

And that is shameless whoring ;)--HELPME 02:18, January 31, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

Well, your older sister is a shameless whore talented, enthusiastic writer who's rightly proud of her own work. (Seriously, vote as you see fit, of course.) King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  19:07, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

I'm actually quite modest. So vote or not. Would you call it whoring if it were a guy!? I want to make sure there are no double standards here. --Puffskein 19:16, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, yes. Almost everyone with a VFH article here has probably been a shameless whore. (I liked it though)--HELPME 02:18, January 31, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

Puffy, I've called Puppy a voting whore several times. No sexism here. :-) King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  19:53, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

And from what I've read, he's also been called a regular whore. And a "weird uncle".--HELPME 02:18, January 31, 2010 (UTC)HELPME

I am not a vote whore at all, and nobody can say any different! Oh, and plain signatures are always stylish. It shows you have no need to compensate for anything. People with flashy signatures are just vote whores. Pup

You can put your timestamp at the end of your sig like this: {{Subst:Nosubst|User:HELPME/sig}} {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}, {{subst:CURRENTDAY}} {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)

Just copy this into the sig box in your preferences, and check custom signature. After that, sign your posts with 3 tildes. Maybe that'll work. —Paizuri MUN (Talk • Contribs • Poll!) 06:32, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and by using <span class="plainlinks nounderlinelink">'''[[User:HELPME|<span style="color: black;">H<span style="font-size:95%">E<span style="font-size:95%">L<span style="font-size:95%">P<span style="font-size:95%">M<span style="font-size:95%">E</span></span></span></span></span></span>]]'''</span> you end up with something a little like HELPME. Have a look at UN:HAX for a few more tricks that you can use on this, or feel free to steal from other people's work. We all learned how to wiki edit by doing much the same thing. Pup

Edit: Er, what the fuck? {{Subst:Nosubst|User:HELPME/sig}} {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}, {{subst:CURRENTDAY}} {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)

Now you know why I use <nowiki> a lot. And that looks strange when you look at the source code. Okay - suggestion is to trim it back to {{Subst:Nosubst|User:HELPME/sig}} and when you sign just use the 4 tildes (~~~~) and nothing else after it. It looks as though you've been signing like the following-

I am a noob but I'm still cute ~~~{{User:HELPME/sig}}

Which is why you're ending up with such a weird signature. If you leave it as-

I am a noob but getting cuter ~~~~

You'll end up with the following look to it.

Oh, change what's in the preferences so that it doesn't have {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}, {{subst:CURRENTDAY}} {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC) in it. The four tilde sig will add that automagically. Pup

Please fix your siggy, Sonny

You must have changed your sig in the last hour or so. It's doing weird things to my talk page (and it looks like to yours too, and probably to every other page it appears on). I'd recommend changing it back, pronto, or quickly changing to something simple, like unclicking the custom signature box in my preferences until you get it figured out. Thanks! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  21:17, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I have no idea why it did that. I undid my changes. HELPME, I've fallen and I can't get up!/ Talk to me or die!/ My daddy!(ew) 21:20, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

I think it's because the </font> command needed to be at the very end, but I'm not an expert on wiki code. Personally, I'd suggest you focus on working on articles or Pee Reviews more than making fancy sigs. But of course that's up to you. Happy editing! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  21:23, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

I just made a suggestion on User talk:HELPME/sig. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  21:26, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

"Personally, I'd suggest you focus on working on articles or Pee Reviews more than making fancy sigs." What is that supposed to mean? ;) HELPME, I've fallen and I can't get up!/ Talk to me or die!/ My daddy!(ew) 21:47, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

I think the idea is that as cool as fancy sigs are, they are, all said and done, just a pretty little bit of text. I have a cool sig, but I also spend a lot of time writing articles, helping noobs, and a bit of time coding for people and reviewing articles. Award-wise I've had a few for articles written, reviewing stuff, and for generally being a productive noob. I've got none for having a cool sig. I also have been known to change my sig a lot over time as well. Some user's keep a record of their old sigs - I can't remember half of them. PEE reviews are definitely a good place to start becoming a part of the uncyc community. I'd actually like a review of my latest unnews article. Do you feel up to it? Pup

Yes, for those with a lot of laziness no real ideas, I figured it would be betrter to review. I'll have to look at it in the queue, it's in there, yes? HELPME, I've fallen and I can't get up!/ Talk to me or die!/ My daddy!(ew) 04:14, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

It is now. Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/UnNews:Apple sued for copyright infringement. Have fun! Pup

What Puppy said--I'd suggest you focus more on content and less on show. People might pick up a book because it has a really fancy cover, but if they're thinking about actually buying it they want it well written. If you want to fit in here, make good edits or write good Pee Reviews or make cool images--or, ahem, help out on IC. Some of the most productive and most respected people here have boring signatures--in fact, most of the admins' siggy's are very basic. Quite honestly, when I started here I found the fancy signatures a little irritating (on the other wikis I've edited, they're rare or nonexistent), but I've learned to overlook them when they're used by productive users. In short, there are no awards here for having fancy siggys. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  23:13, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

An important message about siggy code

Also here's something I didn't do correctly when I started here, so want to let you know. I should have told you this before, but didn't, so this is my fault, not yours. When you go to my preferences and click Custom signature, there's some code you should put in the box that says Signature. If you signature is User:HELPME/sig, then in that box you would type

{{SUBST:nosubst|User:HELPME/sig}}

By doing it that way, all you have to do is sign by using ~~~~ at the end. The reason for that SUBST:nosubst jazz is that otherwise the wiki will duplicate your entire signature code on the page every time you sign.

For an example, click edit and look at your signature in this discussion and then look at mine. Yours shows your whole code, but mine shows up as

{{User:Why do I need to provide this?/sig}}.

But the actual code for my current signature is

{{click-inline |image = Compassrose.gif |link=UotM#Why_do_I_need_to_provide_this.3F_.28Talk_.E2.80.A2_Contribs_.28del.29_.E2.80.A2_Editcount_.E2.80.A2_Block_.28rem-lst-all.29_.E2.80.A2_Logs_.E2.80.A2_Groups_.E2.80.A2_Checkuser.29 |width=17px |height=12px |title=Why do I need to provide this?, Buccaneer Admiral of Uncyclopedia Imperial Colonization Project}} [[Uncyclopedia:Imperial Colonization|<font color="black"><small>'''IC Buccaneer Admiral'''</small></font>]] [[User:Why do I need to provide this?|<font color="black">'''W<small>HY</small><small>?</small>?<small>?</small>'''</font>]] [[User talk:Why do I need to provide this?|<font color="blue">'''<small>(stratagems)</small>'''</font>]] 

A huge difference. So put {{SUBST:nosubst|User:HELPME/sig}} in your signature box and save on virtual trees (i.e. memory and space). Thanks! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  23:37, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

You were whoting your UOTM nom in your sig? I didn't even realise! And some users who have "fancy sigs" are actually pretty good. (Oh, and I would suggest getting rid of the .3f_.28 by actually using the symbols themselves in the links - again saving the virtual trees.) Pup

Oh yeah, I need to take my subtle whoring out of there (seriously, probably no one clicked on it but me--it made it easy for me to check votes. I guess I'd better change it now.) As for the code thing, Uncyclopedia did that, I didn't. I typed ? in my sig. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  01:54, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Help me help you

You were right to put Rip Van Winkle on QVFD because it was short and gay. You were wrong to take it off QVFD because, well, taking stuff off QVFD looks like you're cheating to get it kept. When admins see bytes taken off QVFD by someone who doesn't have permission to do so, they get their bansticks warm. When you think you've make a mistake in listing something on QVFD, just cross it out.

When in doubt, check the big ugly list of rules at the top of the page.

Also, you might be my grandson or something. --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 01:21, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

*Stokes Banstick* Easy boy. Easy... MrN 01:36, Feb 2

Note the warning from a very helpful admin. MRN seems to be a pretty nice guy, but he's not above giving spankings. I know. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  01:55, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

HELPME, I understand you're trying to help here, and I appreciate it. But putting QVFD, VFD, ICU tags on articles, moving articles, deleting things or large sections of things, etc. are generally best left to experienced users and, in some cases, admins. I've been here for five months now and have won an award or two, and I'm still very hesitant about VFD or QVFD or ICU'ing anything. If every article that needed serious work here got one of those tags, we'd have thousands of them to go through.

Generally, as a noob, I'd recommend working on articles, making images if that's your thing, checking out Pee Reviews and seeing if that's your thing, reading featured articles, stuff like that. With all due parental support, you seem to have been jumping in the deep end before you've fully learned how to swim here. Yes, that tends to run in the family--I got myself in trouble here several times for overstepping my bounds. But in general, if you see something that looks to you like it needs radical work, I'd suggest asking an experienced user (including admins) what they think before you dive. Even though I'm your adopter, I'm ultimately just another user with no more official say so over what you do than anyone else (and a great deal less than admins have). But I don't want to one day find you lying on the bottom of the pool either. Happy swimming! King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  01:52, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

I suppose I need to be back in my place. I just have a big mouth sometimes, I like to express my opinion everywhere. That gets me in trouble sometimes. At first I was too nervous, now I'm jumping in too far. Damn, I knew I'd mess up quickly. HELPME, I've fallen and I can't get up!/ Talk to me or die!/ My daddy!(ew) 01:57, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry too much about it. The people who get in really big trouble here are usually not the ones who are legitimately trying to help and who admit when they mess up. This is a difficult site to get a handle on. Unlike a certain well-known Wiki, it doesn't have a copious collections of sets of rules to be guided by. The good news is, it doesn't have a copious collection of sets of rules to be thwarted by.

And as is true of almost everywhere, breaking an unwritten rule is often considered worse than breaking a written rule. The best way to learn the unwritten ones is to keep on swimming. When you bump into an unseen wall, change direction and keep on swimming. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  02:03, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

"This user has over 200 edits"

By now, it's over 300. I know you stole this from a legitimate user's page, but still, I wouldn't brag about it. The average n00b has so many edits because the only way he knows to see his changes is to press Save--that is, he never uses the Preview button, and each of his edits appears in the Change Log as fifteen edits, making everyone groan. There is even a Ninja Star that one Uncyclopedian can "award" another by way of slapping him in the face for padding his edit count. If you are different, well, great. Spıke ¬  02:45 2-Feb-10

It's actually not really bragging...I just put that there because I like the way it looks, or something. I don't know...HELPME, I've fallen and I can't get up!/ Talk to me or die!/ My daddy!(ew) 02:47, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. "Brag" was a cheap shot. All I meant to say is that large edit counts can prove one of two things, and only one of them is good.

Now, something I wish someone had said to me when I was 16. On the recurring desire you expressed in the previous section to excessively offer opinions. Two things may be true about a 16-year-old's opinions:

• They may be fresh and unaffected by a lifetime of hurts and insults, which makes them valuable, or
• They may be fresh and unaffected by experience, which makes them useless.

Underlying the desire to offer your opinion may be a desire that we come to a certain opinion regarding you. However, in any case, what I think about you will not at all depend on who you say you are, and will depend entirely on how you deal with me over a long period of agreement and disagreement. You can't rush it. 16-year-olds often want to. How, then, to "deal with me"? Be of good faith, and shoot straight. That's all. Spıke ¬  02:54 2-Feb-10

Well, number one, I will apologize for any times I have annoyed you so far, and any time I will in the future. I really am only trying to help; but I have two problems: 1) I'm kind of slow socially; which causes me to not see unwritten rules and etc., and 2) I'm pretty open and a quick-thinker, so I often forget to think before editing. In all, if I mess up, you should assume good faith for me, because it almost always is.

That being said, (even though I don't often) if I get angry, you'll know it. It's far different from my usual clumsy mishaps.

See you around...HELPME, I've fallen and I can't get up!/ Talk to me or die!/ My daddy!(ew) 03:04, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Yikes! am not looking forward to being aware you are angry! And am not really annoyed. In any case, the Brits are going to bed, but unless you are, you can get some more hacks in on Undead. Spıke ¬  03:09 2-Feb-10

PEE review feedback

Uncyclopedia:VFH/UnNews:Apple sued for copyright infringement you might be interested in the feedback here. Pup

Oooh...I actually didn't realize that was a bad thing o_O

Oh yeah, and I'll be out for a few days. I have a lot to fix. See User talk:Mordillo HELPME, I've fallen and I can't get up!/ Talk to me or die!/ My daddy!(ew) 21:32, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not worried - I knew when I wrote this that it would be waaaay to in-jokey for it to be featured. I guess the main thing I wanted to point out is that being under critical on an article can be more damaging than being over-critical. Good case in point is UnNews:Man suffers caffeine underdose. I gave a glowing review for this back when I first started a I loved it and couldn't find any real fault with it. The writer then put it up for VFH and it was torn to shreds. It distressed the author so much that they have since left Uncyc and not come back. It's an object lesson so you can see why I'm a bastard when I review an article. If it's not letter for letter perfect, then it gets pulled to shreds. Also look at the PEE guidelines - 7 is a really good score in any area, 10 is extremely exceptional. Be as critical as you can. And get whatever you need to be fixed, fixed! Pup

Hey, HELPME, Chiefster accepted your work as an in depth review. While I tend to agree with Puppy (except I think a 7 is considered an average score), that's better than a lot of reviewers do on their early attempts. You done good!

UnSignpost 4th February 2010

The Uncyclopedia UnSignpost

The Newspaper With Love In Every Paragraph!

Feb 4th, 2010 • Issue 74 • Ain't It Uncool? News!

Spang Archives Talkpage; End of World Expected Imminently By UU Renowned Wikia fan, code monkey and sexy admin Spang has performed what many users believe to be the clearest sign to date of impending apocalypse: he's archived his talk page. After almost 2 years of torturing the Wiki's servers, and having amassed a fairly impressive 410,844 bytes of content, Spang finally decided to give people the chance to talk to him without waiting for half an hour for his page to load. When asked for his reasoning behind this unprecedented move, the muddy funster quipped "no comment". Faced with such dazzling repartee, this reporter has no choice but to cut to the next story and hope he has some better quotes to pad it out with. Award Winners Speak Exclusively to UnSignpost By Someone who definitely isn't running out of ideas already this year Well, there you go folks, looks like the "... of the Year" award voting is done and dusted for another year. Thanks to all who voted; without you, the admins would probably have less to do, which would obviously be dangerous. Anyway, that aside, your ever-topical Unsignpost went and mugged the various winners for comments on their various wins. Several of them, of course, have already made their feelings clear to those who voted for them by way of the traditional thanks templates. Apart from UU, because he's a lazy ass. Or because he's busy writing this. Whichever. Anyway again, for the benefit of those who didn't vote for the winners, and don't watch their talk pages, here's what they had to say: Runaway WotY Hype said: "Thanks, you guys!! If you'll permit me to be dead serious for the first time ever on the wiki, this really is an honor, and it's pretty damn touching that so many people came out in support of my work. Whew. Being serious felt weird. I feel... strange. BALLS BALLS PENIS COCK. Ah... there's the stuff!" He then went off to write another My Sojourn spin-off. Even more runaway PotY Sonje said: "Thank you, I intend to return as soon as I can. I am currently in Africa with very limited internet access. I'll try to time my return to co-incide with the Oscars so that I can get some pointers for my acceptance speech." Admittedly, that was before we asked her for a comment, but then, she is in Africa with limited internet access. Joint UotY Socky channeled Churchill to say: "*scrapes throat* Ahem! I would like to say to the community as I would say to anyone who joined this website: Uncyclopedia has nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs — Victory in spite of all error — Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. … That seems to be the wrong Churchill speech. Okay, I'll give it another try. *scrapes throat again* The gratitude of every home throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen and Belgian spies who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the Wiki War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to two people. And so on and so on… Woot! Woot!" Long-winded bugger. And other joint UotY UU said: "wow, Socky's already left me needing a lot of filler for the right panel, so I'll keep this shortish. First, it's good to see someone who isn't an admin get their hands on this award, and Socky's hard work deserves recognition. Second, it's great to have my complete lack of a life recognised in this way. Third, did someone say Spang's archived his talk page? What the fuck's that all about?." Oh, and Dr. Skullthumper was UGotY, but that was a foregone conclusion anyway. He didn't seem to have any comment of his own to make, so TKF hopped in to the breach with "I call the award a "fascist disgrace" and "move to permanently disbar Mike Socia, that ape from Lighting who made my mole visible to all of the goddamn world watching the ceremony."" Which about wraps it all up, I hope.

Welcome back!

Quick HTML lesson - Wikimedia works by converting a simplified code into a HTML code. When you click edit you can see the wiki code. If you go into view source on your browser you can see the html that the wiki servers translate it into, and when you look at a webpage you can see what the browser translates the HTML into. So a knowledge of HTML, while not vital to write in wikicode, is helpful. One thing that it stuffed up your sig was a lack of knowledge of nested elements. If you were to write <div><span>Something</span></div> then you've opened a div element, and opened a span element within it. If you were to do <div><span>Something</div></span> then you've opened a div element, opened a span element, and then closed the div leaving the span open. As you're outside of the element you'd end up with "Something " printing on screen. So with your orange font opening, and then opening a small element, and then opening a bold element, so should close off first the bold element, and then the small element, and then the font element, otherwise you have code appear on screen and potentially have an element still open and stuffing up whatever follows. If you keep this nesting concept in mind and ensure you close elements in the reverse order of what you open them you'll have much less code spillage. Hope that all helps. Pup

The main thing is that whatever code you turn on first, you turn off last. You turn code off in the reverse order that you turned it on. For example, imagine that <A> and <B> and <C> were code. You'd turn them off in reverse order. For example:

<A><B><C>HELPME</C></B></A>

It's not quite time yet, but my talk page is getting sort of long. How do you archive a talk page? I don't want mine to end up like Spang's old one. (Yes, I have seen that talk page. It took 19 minutes to load.) —Sir ¬_¬ | Banter HOMOPHOBE!!! NOTM 09:08, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

My sig is slightly sick... Damn. On archiving-

1. Click on move at the top of the page
2. Type in the name for you archive (like User talk:HELPME/Archive 1)
3. Click on move, or whatever the button is labelled
4. In the next screen, click on the link to User talk:HELPME
5. Edit the page and delete the redirect stuff.
6. Save the page when you've added in whatever you want to add in.

Thanks! And don't worry, a basic signature means you're not a vote whore! You said it yourself! —Sir ¬_¬ | Banter HOMOPHOBE!!! NOTM 10:07, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

But I am a vote whore Pup

And a regular whore But really, why'd you go basic? —Sir ¬_¬ | Banter HOMOPHOBE!!! NOTM 10:21, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

I've been trying to get a button thing working for a while. And it works except when I use it in an indented line, hence my current lack of indenting while I try and fix it. Pup

I heard you

...were looking on info about how to breakup & organize your spaceness. The best advice I can give is to look at other people's pages & then steal creatively borrow what you like. (My page is a good example. Well, a good example of stealing emulating others. (I got it's from Zana's page, mostly.))
If that is too vague check out what the following example does to the former pie-likers comment below:
<div style="background:#EEFFEE; padding-top:1px; padding-bottom:10px; padding-left:5px; margin-bottom:20px">I LIKE... Phhhtpth!</div>

ATTENTION COLONIZERS: WE ARE RECREATING CREATIONISM

The Bible says God created the world in six days by himself--our crew of talented colonizers can surely recreate an article in a week and a half! Remember, any Colonizer is welcome to work on our current project, which is the Creationism article. But before you begin, check "READ THIS FIRST" at the top. From Sunday, 7 February to Wednesday, 10 February 2010, a hearty crew of brave colonizers plotted a strong course for the article by consensus. We have the beginning of a great colonization, so go forth and colonize to the glory of Her Majesty!

Special Note for Lobsterbacks (i.e. those who signed up but haven't yet worked on a successful colonization). We plan to keep your name on the honored membership list if you make worthwhile contribution to the article or other parts of Imperial Colonization between 31 January 2010 and the end of this project. If your name is removed from the list, you are welcome to reapply when you plan to become active. User:Why do I need to provide this?/sig10 05:26, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Good job on your Pee Review. It was certainly in-depth, and you weren't that harsh at all. So don't stress, man. :) One more in-depth review and you're guaranteed a spot in PEEING. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Thursday, 12:00, Feb 11 2010

UnSignpost 11th February 2010

The Uncyclopedia UnSignpost

Th-the m-m-most con-confident new-Newspaper in a wh-while

Feb 11th, 2010 • Issue 75 • Picking the nuts of truth out of the muesli of news. Or something.

New way to win awards, impress friends, crush rivals! By UU Writing competitions, eh? With the Poo Lit Surprise, the Turkey Day Ball, and a conservation week or two, it would seem Uncyclopedians can't get enough of 'em. And now there's another! But this one has a point that separates it from the herd. Well a couple of points, actually. One: it's organised by human wiki-whirlwind MadMax, so it'll probably be efficient as all get-out; two: it's a sneaky way of fulfilling a need. See, there are all these great ideas for articles floating around at UN:REQ; articles that would undoubtedly improve this festering little wiki. And there they sit, being good ideas, but not being used. This competition aims to change all that! Yes, that's right, The Article Whisperer is a competition that gives you the ideas to get you started, all you need to do is supply the funny. What could be easier? Well, since you ask, perhaps judging it could? Max is also looking for at least 4 more opinionated types, unafraid of passing withering judgement on their peers. If you're interested in judging or entering, or if you have a good idea that would elevate this competition from being a damn good idea to a colossally awesome one, let MadMax know either on his talk page, or on the article's talk page. For those who want to selflessly improve the wiki while crushing all around them under the steel wheels of their genius, there can be no finer opportunity! General news round-up By UU As several things have been happening recently in Uncyclopedia, and ace cub reporter DogNewspaper is in some sort of snow-induced hibernation, and consequently too lazy to write individual articles on any of them, here is a quick synopsis of a couple of the more newsworthy recent events on the wiki in handy easy-to-digest bite-sized chunks. Mordillo nearly went mad attempting to feature all articles tied for tenth place in the top 10 of last year. And then spent the rest of this month to date patiently fielding questions about how long the rest of the featuring was going to take, and when normal featuring would resume. POTR did his best to help. When not asked for a quote, Mordillo said "FUCK YOU VERY MUCH AND SEE YOU IN 2011". We think he's just talking about the top 10, and not about taking a 10 month hiatus. That is, we hope so. A recent VFD nomination ended in a deletion marathon, as MrN and RDB spent 2 hours removing every last trace of the notorious Game:Page. Apart from the traces Mordillo deleted, that is. And the redirects to it that UU took care of, come to think of it. But still, all told, an impressive act of mass carnage only made more awesome by the fact that they somehow managed to delete Socky's userpage at one point during the proceedings. MrN claims "Both RDB and me still have sore huffing fingers you know".

Biopic of the Week Being as he's now been on Uncyclopedia for three bastardin' years, this seems as good a time as any to profile Kip the Dip. A man of many contrasts, Kip appears to be some sort of useful gobshite. His enthusiasm for all things Uncyclopedia, including his tireless championing of Euroipods and sterling work on The word parakeet written exactly two hundred and forty-two times have helped make this wiki what it is today. The Worst. Thanks, Kip. Old School Featured Article of the Week Patriotism is an air-borne disease caused by the bacterium enlistment bonusai. It was first observed in 1776 by Dr. Arnold Bazonga, but was initially confused with the alcohol-borne illness bravery. Patriotism is communicable through the auditory ingestion of feces. Contamination often occurs from politicians, entrepreneurs, country music singers, Richard Albinger and French Emperors.

Monkeys

I put a note and comment on the VFD nom for "Poop throwing monkeys" you might like. The whole experience has helped to clarify why the article is pretty good on its own. Danks, and keep the lasagna flying. Chained 12:54 12 Feb. MMX

Poop throwing monkeys was kept! Many monkey lovers rallied, with signs and banners, and the monkeys loved your strong support (I didn't tell them about your strong abstention, why break their little hearts) and they asked me to give you a 21-poop salute. Hip Hip, hurray! Aleister in Chains 22:14 12 Feb. MMX

IKE!!!

Thanks for reviewing Takeshi's Castle. It'll probably be a while before I rewrite due to how busy and lazy I am, but I will certainly consider your advice when I finally get around to it. --Hugs and kisses, Black_Flamingo 13:39, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

About your nom

First, I'm very glad you're here, and happy to be your adopter. Second, I wouldn't recommend complaining about how the award is decided, not when you're nommed. It's bad form or something. Third, I wouldn't remove your own nomination. If an admin does it, that's their decision. Fourth, there's been a big debate more than once over how the award is determined, but it hasn't changed since I got here. When I was nommed before I qualified, I checked the archives. I threw an article together just to get something up there then worked on it later, and you can certainly do the same. Also there is a precedent that major rewrites of a crappy article qualifies. Fifth, I'm very glad you're here, and happy to be your adopter. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  18:55, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

I don't mind if I'm removed; NOTM winners tend to either disappear or turn into assholes(Not you though!:P)

And if I stay and act well, I'll probably get another award in the future anyway.—Sir ¬_¬ | Banter HOMOPHOBE!!! NOTM 20:40, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hi. February counts, so all you have to do is write up a page before the month is out and that satisfies the requirement. Last month the noob Dannievirus was nommed well before his unbook was done. I actually hope you and the other guy tie, but like I said, any article will do (a full article would have, I would think, a loose definition, even be creative and write a short-story unbook). You write very well, just turn it into a page and, whoola. A former nondisappearing NOTM winner, so the other 21:55 13 Feb. MMX
