It probably will be added - at least linked - on Mhaille's collaboration article User:Mhaille/Uncyclopedia:HUMP - so that HUMP, among other things, enforces the legislation. See me in chat one of these days, it's quickest. -- Style  Guide 05:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing! :D

I'd like to thank you for taking the time to review my article. I appreciate your views and I think that I shall adopt them as my own. However, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by structure. Do you mean that I could make the article about a certain person? I would appreciate clarification on this suggestion because I am very slow (and for that I apologize, because I really shouldn't be on this site, and I should be the butt of every joke ever instead). Again, thank you! ~// Lunaquois 00:46, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you... I've always found it to be polite to thank people for the things they have done for you, especially when it is a vote for a fine literary work. People don't say "thank you" that much anymore. Instead, they say "thanks" or "tyvm". That frustrates me, because I don't know what "tyvm" is even supposed to mean. Thanks for voting.

Bore da

Just came by to tell you how much I enjoyed My Visit With Aunt Myfanwy, which is one of the funniest articles I've read in a while. Reminds me uncannily of visits to various family around Llangollen when I was a kid, the missus and I just had a good laugh about it over our morning cigarettes and cans of Skol. Genius! RabbiTechno 09:56, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

You don't know how happy this makes me. I've never had such a holiday myself, haven't even set foot in the country for many years; I was just drawing on the things my siblings and I use to make fun of our Welsh mother. I'm glad it had some resemblance (if slight) to reality! IronLung 13:28, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Always glad to make someone happy. As Multiliteralist says, it's going to mean very little to anyone other than the Brits - and even they're not going to enjoy it as much as I, being a Welshie, did; hardly any Americans have even heard of Wales. However, that's not a problem at all, it remains a very funny article. RabbiTechno 18:15, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

The auntie bit

is good - I don't see why it needs a Pee Review. The only weakness is that it mostly appeals to Brits. If nothing good appears in the next few days I'll nominate it despite that, since the joke is understandable anyway. -- Style  Guide 08:45, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for voting. Thank you all for voting me your Writer of the Month for December 2008, despite my rather long winded speech half-telling you not to while still being whore enough to accept the award anyways.

Nnn...just makin' sure...

Hey, man...this is awkward, but, uh...I'm almost done with reviewing that WristWatch article of yours, and I have to make sure there isn't anything I've missed. Is it parodying any particular magazine? I realise if it is I really should have gotten it right away and I'm really sorry, but I promise I'll re-write the whole review if that's the case.

BlueYonder - CONTACT

Nah mate, it's just a totally made-up article. Totally originated from seeing the old wristwatch article and thinking "WristWatch: that could be a magazine about wrists!" Average kind of concept, I know. IronLung 10:25, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the Review

Thanks alot for this tips on prose. I honestly thought my bad area would be humour but that was a big eye opener. I will fix those things immediately and try to make it longer. How do I replace a crappy page, like scary movie, and put mine in without getting in trouble? Thanks again. --Tagstit 15:09, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Also about reviews

Hi there IronLung, I've seen you do a bunch of good reviews now - thanks for taking the time to help people out, it is much appreciated. If you're interested, you more than meet the requirements to join PEEING - pop over and sign up if you want in! --UU - natter 11:24, Jan 15

Hey!

Hey! I feel really stupid for giving someone bad advice. >< But thanks for helping me from further making that mistake. I just figured it was proper to capitilize titles but I looked through a few and found out how wrong I was! But thanks for the congrats on my first VFH! --Tagstit 08:16, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

No worries, better a talk page than a more public place I always say. You jumped in quickly with in-depth reviews and a few good articles, so... good work! IronLung 08:28, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your two votes! And I will try to keep up with the reviews and the articles! --Tagstit 08:36, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, it's been a difficult... two weeks, it appears. I'm sure you were breathlessly waiting for your promised eternal gratitude.

Private Eye

Thanks for the prompt review and good advice. I didn't realize there was a problem with the mural, it showed on my monitor as ending perfectly with the butt at the bottom flush with the last sentence. I've already made a new one with smaller smokes/farther apart and I'll consult when we're ready to nom. PP wrote some big chunks of this and there's a lot of stuff that's "distilled PP" ideas so it's half hers despite my playing chief editor. We were heading into a full blown novel last week and I tried to steer us back to the short radio version crime-drama. The intro and basic theme is totally "Pat Novak For Hire" and there's some actual metaphors from the old show reworked/modernized and scattered in the script. (seal and bicycle horns was mine all the way) This is thoroughly an homage to old time radio versions of film noir and a repository for the cliche's of said genres without fear of being unoriginal. There was a kind of combination of Pat Novak similies and metaphors with MST3K style cultural references.

I reworked the organ grinder sentence. (That's what I get for listening to too much Old Time Radio, the slang can get heavy in some shows) Also, I used the "establishment code" as integral for the ending but I didn't highlight that fact properly and should have plainly repeated the number while doing so, good catch. Thanks again!--    13:29, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

No worries, it's a very good article. The score I gave was probably a little low in retrospect, meaning I think you will pass VFH, probably with flying colours. I would be very happy to offer my opinion on your revisions. Good luck! IronLung 19:20, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

And now, a bizarre missed call

Not too concerned with hurting Cheevers feelings since I didn't say anything all that bad. His review stunk. He has some good points there are ways to make it better but he didn;t bother to come up with ways to make it better. I've shown the story to people, they laugh because it's crazy. That's the point. it's not for everybody but it's for some people. My review is not beyond criticism but neither is an opinion of my review. Are you're opinions special and beyond criticism? The problem wasn't getting a bad grade it was getting nothing valuable with which to improve the article. It was a bad job of reviewing if you'd like to know why I actually took the time to explain why unlike the review which didn't explain anything. You can keep trying to bother me if you want but i'm very busy. Keep an eye out for updates on all your favorite Rangers!--Shingraham 20:35, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Fuck, whatever. All Gerrycheevers could have said that he didn't say is to read HTBFANJS, UN:RTFM and Uncyclopedia:How To Get Started Editing ad infinitum, because your article is an irreparable pile of dogs' bollocks. I hope you're not too busy to give them a look. Coincidentally, someone already left all of these links on your talk page right after you joined. Fancy that! IronLung 22:25, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

No problem. You were worth changing my vote for, which is something I am staunchly against. Also thanks for your concern, I'm planning on changing my username to Respirator any day now.

Hooray!

I Told Her Thanks For Voting To Feature Private Eye But she looked at me like I was wearing orange in the St Patrick's Day parade. I wasn't sure if that was fog behind me or if my favorite place for take-out Chinese food had just went up in flames but I knew that I'd better make this quick either way. "You were great, kid" I told her but her facial expression never changed. She kicked off her heels and put on a pair of roller skates but she looked about as comfortable in them as a woodpecker in the petrified forest. She took one last drag off her cigarette, blew the smoke in my face, flicked the butt at my feet and rolled away into the night - leaving me standing there like a wide screen TV on layaway. I took another sniff of the air and now I was sure, Chang's Wok Inn was definitely on fire and it looked like it was going to be another night of hamburger helper and "Juggs" magazine..............................

Greetings From Four Corners!! Thanks for sending us a copy of A Guide to the American Roadside Attraction. Look at us! We're in four states simultaneously! We're headed to Waco, Texas next and we'll be visiting The Branch Davidian Compound Site and The Dr Pepper Museum.

We'll send you another postcard when we get to Mammy's Cupboard for some biscuits and gravy!

The Iron Lung of Nurembergring

OK, I have some ideas:

• perhaps drop the very obvious slapstick bits (I mean those with no connection at all) - I think you can let slightly less misplaced facts and such carry the article since there's so much history to twist
• "1984 and all that" uses this joke: since there are different spellings to Tzar, they all appear in a chapter, along with some nonexisting ones like Saab. That's back to obvious slapstick of course, but if you let Nuremborgh deteriorate toward the end of the article it will add a chaotic feeling which doesn't disturb the pace too early.
• A different way from the usual, after the initial chapter, would be to go into eloquent description of the track, hectare by hectare. You could do anything at all with that: twisted local history, remarkable accidents ironically happening on the famous spot they used to burn witches in the Middle ages, how the local gentry used to sit by the river Rhein and watch the riders cross the ford, how Madame Butterfly... you get the idea.
• "Racing the jews..." is OK but what if you made it more deadpan (mocking USA on the side) by calling them Mideastern-Germans?
• I think one joke through all the piece might be to dance around the Nuremburg Iron Maiden, but never mention it.

• Steel Jockstrap? Perhaps there was originally a horse race and the jockeys used those?
• the British soft rock band Motherhead recorded their hit album "Iron fist" in Nuremberg (there must be a better idea around this)
• I would use Iron Lung as well even if it's your user name. Everyone knows something about what it is, it'll add to the joke. If someone tries to accuse you of vanity, uh, we'll harness them in a steel jockstrap.
• Copper Fieldhand is a famous statue in a field next to the Nuremberg Castle

• In the end of the article there could be a list of famous persons to have visited the Noremborg trials.
• A list of other great motor sports events might be in order as well. Use a similar sounding context to each? Daytona Lawsuits, Monza Judgement, Monaco Jury? Clumsy, it's morning, but you get the idea

If this is stuff you want to see in the article, OK, I'll help some. -- Style  Guide 05:05, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
