Hey there METALHEADS101, and welcome to Uncyclopedia! Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like it here. If not, I'm sure life will go on elsewhere. Anyway, here are a few good links for people like you:
- Uncyclopedia:Beginner's Guide to Being an Uncyclopedian
- Our Vanity Policies - We don't want to read an entire article about your friend, because we don't know your friend to begin with. Also, that sort of stuff upsets the admins...
- How to be funny and not just stupid. - This is highly recomended read before you start doing anything. You wouldn't believe how many people make things that aren't nearly as funny as they might think.
If you read anything at all, make it the above three links. If you want to find out more about Uncyclopedia or need more help with something, try these:
- About Uncyclopedia and The five pliers of Uncyclopedia
- How to get started editing on uncyclopedia
- Help Pages - if you need help with a specific issue
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 (

At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. It's recommended that you start your early work in your userspace and then move it to main space. Lets say you wanted to do an article on Joe Strummer. You could create this in your userspace as User:METALHEADS101/Joe Strummer) 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. Try not to mess with other people's articles without asking them, unless it's to fix a grammar or spelling error or if it's tagged to be rewritten.
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. If you want or need some help, just browse our list of available mentors, and leave them a message on their talk page. In closing, enjoy your time here, or else. Or else what?

A word about your edits[edit source]
Okay, you've been on the wiki for a couple of months now. I've noticed your contributions and honestly, I have to wonder whether you read the welcome message that Striker left you up there. The things you've been adding (like this) generally are not considered funny; rather, your edits just add a bunch of sexual/gross "humor" that- and this is the important bit- has nothing to do with the article in question, and fails to make it funnier.
But you can still save yourself! As rehashed from the welcome messages, here are a couple of things you can read to improve your editing prowess:
- The Beginner's Guide to Being an Uncyclopedian and About Uncyclopedia are good introductions to Uncyclopedia and its community
- How To Get Started Editing Uncyclopedia
- How To Be Funny And Not Just Stupid -- make sure you read this thoroughly. It will tell you what is considered acceptably humorous writing and what is considered crap. You really want to write the former instead of the latter.
Peruse those pages, as well as any others in the welcome message you feel are important, and hopefully when you come back you'll be able to make good contributions. --Andorin Kato 20:40, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
