Ooops

Sorry. ~ T. (talk) 20:54, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

:( don't hate me! (No problem - it wasn't clear or anything. You meant well, and thanks for that.) --Monika 20:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Photoshops mean hippies!

Good job on those and all.

::blush:: Awww thanks. --Monika 01:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Have a cookie!

For the quick revert to Idiocrates while I was taking out the trash. —Sir Major Hinoa [TALK] [KUN] 05:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

COOKIE! --Monika 05:38, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

A caution

Not to take things too seriously or anything (I hate it when people do that), but you might want to reconsider this edit. If I recall correctly, Nin is underage, so providing those links to him directly might not be entirely prudent, even on the anonymous internets. —rc (t) 18:36, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Will do. --Monika 18:38, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh wow, I am slow today. It took me until now to properly figure out what you actually said there. ::goes to edit edit::. (The original reasoning was he kept trying to get me to add Zelda and Peach porn to an article here...) --Monika 08:18, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Romania?

This being Uncyclopedia, I've taken the liberty of changing some pictures of where countries are located and making them larger or somehow weirder. WikiFan05 07:56, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

But poor Romania! --monika 07:58, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Nah, they won't mind. WikiFan05 08:00, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure? I've met a lot of Romanians in my day, and they don't seem to like being confused or combined with Serbia. They have their pride. --monika 08:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

If they don't like it, they can have another revolution! (But...will I be shot by a guard after singing the fourth word of The Internationale on trial?) WikiFan05 08:12, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Ugly Image Placement

Job Well Dude… Your rug really tied this room together. Thanks.

Thanks for fixin' up my mess over on Sith Vicious. I noticed when I made the jump over to Firefox how horrible it looked, but was too lazy lacked the proper skills to fix it. That said, I'm quite impressed with your work (particularly, well, all of it). Just out of curiousity, have you ever read Good Omens? -- Imrealized fire away 22:22, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Heard of it but haven't read it yet. I have a terrible terrible backlog of books I need to read and haven't, and it's one of them. Would you recommend it? --monika 23:18, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely, if you go in for a bit o' satiric blasphemy (is there any other kind?). The Gaiman/Pratchett (not Pratchett/Gaiman as Americans would lead you to believe) dynamic works quite well. Terry Gilliam was all set to convert the whole thing to film, but it fell through (can you say "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote"?) and now a film script sits silently with the knowledge that the book is probably better anyway. If you read it and enjoy it, I'd also recommend James Morrow, who also treads on some sacred ground. Eh, just more books for the backlog (I'm still slogging through the final third of my collection — they buy much faster than they read). Well, that's enough parenthetical thoughts from me. Keep up the funny. -- Imrealized IMme 00:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I have a rather significant problem of buying DVDs faster than I can watch them. I feel your pain. --monika 00:28, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Random

Looks to me like you got the random thing right. Just in case, the correct way is - <choose> <option weight="xx">option 1</option> <option weight="yy">option 2</option> <option weight="zz">option 3</option> </choose>

Though because of the way the mediawiki software caches pages, you can't get a new option by just clicking the page title again. You have to purge the cache, which you can do by adding a {{purge|optional link text}} template to the page. Users going to the page for the first time will always get the random option appearing proberly, assuming it is set up correctly. Hope that helps! • Spang • ☃ • talk • 04:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks so much! Oddly, the thing seemed to start working by itself, for me and for people I had looking at it. But I'll probably throw in the purgey thing as well. --monika 04:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Typical! Totally wouldn't have started working if I hadn't made the effort to try and help make it work though ^_^ • Spang • ☃ • talk • 04:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

It was all you. ::thumbs up:: --monika 04:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Congrats!

Your article has been featured! Also, I've put one of your images on VFP, although it looks like it may need to be resized (a lot).--Anon32 talk 12:48, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

On the cownting

Why did I put 7 instead of 5? I usually am so good at first grade math, and yet I gave your article a better score than it deserved. For that I deeply apologize (I don't even like the article!). Keep up the good work! (and I will most certainly keep up the bad work!) --Anyone 19:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

:) No need to apologize. (Looks like you probably counted an against as a for.) --monika 19:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

SSBX image

Image:SSBX.png - I want to adapt a version of this for the cover of the 2006 version of Zombie Bukkake, on the principle that repeating an earlier joke makes a running gag.

Yeah, if you have somewhere to stick 6MB of photoshop. --monika 15:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

If you can email it to dgerard@gmail.com that would be fantastic, if yer ISP doesn't choke on an email that big. Or just that layer if that's still too big. Thank you! - David Gerard 16:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

That's nice you are watching your articles, but please look what are you reverting. In this edit you've also reverted this. Szoferka 11:41, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

don't

please don't vandalize the work on interwiki

Who's vandalizing what now? You are adding a section to my article that looks ugly and doesn't add any content, so I'm removing it. --monika 01:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Turing Test

Look familiar? I had a look at your rewrite and decided that since I was going to delete the old page anyway, we might as well put something in the gap... And this is definitely good enough for mainspace even if it's not finished yet. Maybe this'll give you some incentive as well...? -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 23:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

:/ I kind of really wish you hadn't done that, because it's totally not good enough for the mainspace yet. But I'll take that as a hint to work on it. --monika 05:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Trust someone who's seen an awful lot of things that weren't ready - it is. Things don't have to be works of art before they go out there you know - it gives other people a chance to have a bit of input and maybe do things you wouldn't have thought of. But if you can't stand to have it there yet then fair enough I guess. Just promise me if you decide you can't be bothered to get to it soon then you'll put it in mainspace for someone else to finish...? I can pretty much promise no-one will try to delete it as it stands. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 22:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm perfectly fine with people helping it in its current state. I'm also strangely fine with the current setup where the mainspace article redirects to it. --monika 23:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I was just kinda wondering if/when you were thinking of putting this into the mainspace? I'm a fan of the subject matter myself, and rather like the idea of nominating this for VFH at some point. It looks like it's almost finished to me, and the VFH vote might be rather fun... MrN 00:53, May 3

It's less than half finished. All that's there is the bare boring scientific description of the process, and I've barely touched on the history of robot espionage, which is intended to be most of the article.

Eh. I lie. It's maybe almost 2/3rds done, which is more than half. I've had health problems for a while now and it's impacted my... ability to think of words to write down to say things. There's probably a word for that but I can't think of what it might be. (I'm actually being serious about this.) It's also seriously impacted my abilities to think and also to get shit done; I've even taken this past year off from school. (PhD in AI/robotics which is about as complete and on hold as this article.)

I appreciate that Uncyclopedia is super important and all (also being serious about this) but my brain is broken and stuff, so it'll probably take some time. I actually do intend to finish this article (and have real life notes on it and stuff somewhere), probably next (unless I get coerced into writing another metal article on VFD), but yeah... I'm a stupid person.

If you know any users with encyclopedic knowledge of espionage and/or cold war history (or watches a lot of Get Smart) that would like to cowrite this thing, send them my way.

--monika 01:12, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, I just thought it could go into the mainspace now, but that's obviously your call... MrN 01:22, May 3

If I die, you can put it up and then finish it off by cutting off suddenly and going into a few sections of things I've written on talk pages and stuff like that. And make sure everyone knows that I was planning on keeping the structure but replacing all the characters with characters from Megadeth. It can be my The Salmon of Doubt. --monika 01:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Megadeth? Oh, yea, you are "our" Megadeth author, so that would make sense I guess... Those dam guys over at VFD! I wish I could claim to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of espionage and/or cold war history, but I'm afraid I would fail the test... I really like your work though, although unfortunately I fear that much of it might not be fully appreciated by some of the readers, but hea, I guess that's not the point... I actually did 2 AI type modules on my degree, and I think I picked up on some/most of Turing Test, I wonder how many other people will... Sounds like you have plans for this article for the future, so I will leave you to get on with it, and look forward to the finished version. Enjoy. :-) MrN 01:44, May 3

Appreciation is for the weak. --monika 01:50, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Appreciation of articles all week? Me? Na, I was actually being sarcastic in lots of very clever subtle ways... But not really. Well you may not like the appreciation, but tough. You are appreciated so there! MrN 02:04, May 3

Oh, I never said I wasn't weak. I'm pathetically weak. --monika 02:49, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Just wanted to tell you...

...job well done on that License Note article. And why I'm at it, the Bleach one was pretty stellar too. Way too many anime articles turn into nothing but obscene nonsense. Here's to (broadcast) order! --Deep 23:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! --monika 04:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Got to ask

Considering this a user adding site, and that is its point, why do you feel so threaten when someone adds to your article? *is just curious as you have deleted things several times from several people and some of it was really good*

I do really enjoy your bleach/kubo tite stuff though, although i never heard of your others although i am off to read them now ^_^

I don't feel threatened. The #1 complaint I hear about the Bleach article is that it is too long. The #2 complaint I hear is that it starts to wander, especially at the end. If a newly added section is well-written and good, I will leave it, and even put in the effort to fix it up. But in light of the complaints (especially since the article is currently up for VFH and people are voting against it because it is too long, I'm more likely to cut than keep. I cover this (both anti and pro) in more detail in the discussion. --monika 03:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I'm curious what deletions you consider really good.

P.P.S. It's not a "user adding site". It's a "user editing site".

I went back looking for it but it seems my experience of pedia is very limited as i can't seem to find that reference to the first captain of the 13 squads, you know the bit that refer to him as someone from another era and made jokes of his age? *it really was very good and made me laugh, i don't know who added it though*

And in all honestly, i like the length of your article, and it is a well written intelligent piece. A 'tongue in cheek' short of thing that as you can see, many seem to enjoy. I honestly do hope it grows longer, and that you do make more references to individual characters. It is a truly wonderful read ^_^

:) I'd argue brevity is wit but you probably wouldn't take me seriously, as we are discussing a 4500+ word article, of which 3600+ are mine. May I suggest that effort spent making a good article longer might be better spent making a short article fuller, or a bad article better, or a new article? (It's like Tite tried to explain to reporters during the sweatshop scandal - a little helps a lot more over there.) --monika 15:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and for this, I'm going to cast you in the fictional Marty Friedman revision history. (I was thinking of offering the spot to Zombiebaron since he's a je- er... guitarist like Marty.) --monika 01:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Just don't overuse Communism like TYATU did.

I'm not so sure how it would fit. Then again, Marty likes Chinese chicks almost as much as he likes Japanese chicks... --monika 02:02, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Marty Friedman?

Hey there, sorry I didn't respond much much sooner but I've taken a sabbatical from Uncyc for a while - coming on only every once in a while when I have a decent idea for an unnews article (which hasn't been often enough) - but anyways, if you still need some help with that edit wars thing, I'd be more than happy to help - it'll give me something to do :-)

Just post back on my talk page with more details about what you would like - I'm sure I'd be able to hook you up!

--LinkTGF 05:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

The Edit Wars

I just read the Marty Edit Wars pages and they are funny and well put together (not to mention the links in the article are priceless!)

--LinkTGF 18:39, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. If you don't mind me asking, what did you think of the article before you noticed the extra pages, and what made you notice them? I'm worried the article is a little hard to get, and I want to make the concept as clear as possible to people reading it for the first time. (Especially since the front page of the article is supposed to look like ranty self-aggrandizing vanity unfit for Uncyclopedia, and if people don't get that it's supposed to look like that, they might simply think it is that.) --monika 19:11, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Re your Pee Review

I just watched you do that revert. Probably the thing to do would be if you would check the Pee Review guidelines please? You may not have noticed that we changed it a bit specifically about when you want another Pee Review (which I guess you do). Basically, we are trying to avoid people reverting reviews unless they are very poor. Although the review you got was not awesome, it was not really what I and probably the admin who reverted you think as poor... Basically you have to resubmit your article to pee-review again with (rebsubmit) or some similar message. Have a look in the guidelines under the bit about submitting to pee review and you will see what I mean. Thanks. MrN 21:35, Mar 14

Ahh, woops, looks like I'm wrong about what is going on here. Sorry, my bad. I think the review was reverted for other reasons. You would have to ask the admin... MrN 21:38, Mar 14

note: the following edit was started before the preceding edit. There was also going to be more of it before the preceding edit was noticed

I actually thought the review was helpful. (I was mostly looking for someone to allay my insecurities about the understandability of the article, and it did.) I'm having trouble understanding what you are saying, so if you could clarify...

"when you want another Pee Review (which I guess you do)."

Everyone always wants another review always always, but I wouldn't expect another one for this article. If the goal was to get another review, and the prescribed way of doing this was to resubmit the article for review, wouldn't it make more sense to let the review there stand?

--monika 21:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

PS Also, no, surely I don't want that. Would I take the trouble to comment it out if I wanted it in? I don't go typing comment tags accidentally.

I do believe the admin reverted because he suspects the reviewer to be a sock of someone or other, who is placed under several restrictions - see his talk page. So you may want to check with Mordillo to make sure he's OK with you getting more feedback from Nekami. Not that you can't get feedback without an Admin's permission, of course, but he's likely to ban Nekami for ignoring him unless you have a word first! I agree the review was a perceptive one - I had a quick glance eariler when looking for something to review and totally failed to get it or spot what you'd done. It's an idea that demands quite a lot of attention to get the most out of it, but once you know what the point is, it's pretty rewarding! --SirU.U.Esq. VFH | GUN | Natter | Uh oh | Pee 21:50, Mar 14

Thanks for the clue. I was planning on investigationg this Nekami person to see if I could find a reason for the revert, and then clarify with Mordillo, so you saved me some research. :) You also reinstated my fear that the article is hard to get. --monika 21:52, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, sorry for that. The key words there are "quick glance". I literally took a 10 second skim through and failed to spot it. Tends to happen if you've just come hot foot from VFD! When I took a proper look, it became clear quite quickly. There's a lot of work in that. Hats off! --SirU.U.Esq. VFH | GUN | Natter | Uh oh | Pee 22:05, Mar 14

Thanks. Now if I could just get people to take more than a quick glance at it... --monika 22:08, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Turing Test (Rewrite)

Hea, I just noticed your rewrite. Looking good. Don't know if you are interested, but I used a few references to that in an article I did. Maybe it might give you some extra ideas for your article. MrN 02:59, Mar 17

Thanks. I need to work on that article but <insert vague reference to undefined medical problem>. Working on it was like running head first into the brick wall that metaphorically represents writer's block. But I've been tivoing Get Smart recently, so that's been helping me some. --monika 03:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Megadeth

Wasn't meaning to typecast you on VFD - just to suggest that you have the skill to do a decent job if the idea you mention bears any fruit! If not, I may have a look, although I kind of gave up on the 'Deth after Youthanasia... ;-) --SirU.U.Esq. VFH | GUN | Natter | Uh oh | Pee 11:53, Mar 18

::nodnod:: I was just being silly. It's a little too late for me to avoid being typecast. The article idea is actually progressing quite nicely in my head, so I'm hoping it'll work as well on paper.

Have you checked out The System Has Failed? It's the best of the three post-Marty albums. Dave's returned to doing what he did so well in the 80s and early 90s - thrash bitching about Metallica and President Bush. It's quite good. (At the time it came out, I described it as "The best Megadeth album in a long time for the longest time in a long time", but that confused people.) --monika 21:17, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Your Pee Review Request

While I understand completly that you want your aricle to be reviewed by someone more competant in Pee Review, the continous reverts on your Pee Review request are completly unnessecery. If you want someone to Pee Review (which I would be more then willing to do!)

1. Revert your edit back to that of the Ip adress guy
2. Resubmit the article for review

I will be there waiting to review it, M'kay? (edited for spell check)

Warm regards, Javascap 20:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

And I forgot to mention, I simply cannot review an article that does not have a Pee Review table on it... and there is no Pee Review on the reverted article.

I took a look at the article, and its an old version... and we don't review old versions. For Sophia's sake, I will change the old request back, and wait for you to submit a NEW request, and will be right on top of it. I hope this clears up your need for a review. Javascap 20:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Didn't I ask you (generic 'you' referring to anyone looking at the edit history) to pay attention? You don't know what's going on with that review and you're blaming (is that the right word?) the wrong person for the reverts. (Also, learn to proofread your own posts if you want people to believe you are a competent reviewer. Firefox has this great feature where it underlines misspelled words.) --monika 21:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

PS after the edit conflict: "I took a look at the article, and its an old version... and we don't review old versions."

::facepalm:: Seriously, step away from the article. --monika 21:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Please calm down, thats my first request. Just calm down, I am not trying to pin the blame on anyone for any of the reverts, and I definitally do not want a flame war to erupt here. I genuinly want to review this article, but since apparently there is something I do not understand, I would appreciate if you could tell me what I do not understand, rather the nwhat I belive is an accusation. Please, lets be civil here. Explain what I missed, then lets finish this problem. Warm regards, Javascap 21:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Things you do not understand:

1. Why the review was reverted (hint: scroll up)
2. The article (hint: It is not an old version)

Given #1, you should really drop the whole reverting thing, and given #2, you probably wouldn't be a very useful reviewer. It also suggests to me that you haven't read the review you are fighting to keep, as that reviewer got the article and explains it in the review. --monika 21:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Bops self on head

Well, now I think I understand what is going on, now that I noticed the section above talking about why the review was reverted. I apologize for my sheer stupidity, and will now rush in to do the review. And don't worry, I am a member of PEEING, so I think I will manage to get a good review down. Javascap 21:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Good luck with reviewing it. Make sure you don't miss any of the 27 pages that make up the article. --monika 21:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, welcome or not, I'm going to step in here... Monika. PLEASE try not to be so confrontational. Javascap is one of our better reviewers, and I'm sure he is trying to help you in the best way he is able. I would encourage you Monika to read the Pee Review guidelines (which was co-written by myself and Cajek) with regard to submitting an article. Your actions in reverting [2] Javascap's good faith review are against protocol and (in my opinion) a comment such as "I'd say this more wittishly but it would go over your head. You are not smart enough to review this article, or even revert the pee review for this article." is rather rude and not really acceptable. I would appreciate it if you would be a little more polite in the future, and also follow Pee Review protocol. Thank you. MrN 21:39, Mar 19

Yes, I am actually sorry about that. (I'd explain that I'd been averaging 4 hours of sleep for a week and felt nauseated and grumpy, but that would sound like I was trying to rationalize it.) Sorry. --monika 21:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Hea, no problem. /me passes Monika a large box of sleeping pills. Javascap is probably my tip for RotM next month actually... MrN 21:53, Mar 19

Those sleeping pills would probably kill me if I took them with the sleeping pills and other medication I am currently on. --monika 22:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, Monika, I am starting to get through all those articles, but I don't think I have found all of them. Could you, when you get the time, go to the page and provide a link directy to all the pages involved with this article? That would be greatly apprectiated (and would make my job a bit easier!) Thank you very much, Javascap 11:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey Monika

I really like the explanation of your articles on your user page: I always like to know why I'm laughing at something---other than because of sadism of course. ;) Mightydandylion (talk) Fk 04:07, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm always worried no one's noticed that thing, and it's nice to know I'm not just talking to myself again. --monika 14:03, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey there

Just thought I'd drop a line and let you know I'd be happy to go over your Megadeth article for you (I was a HUGE thrash metal fan back in the day) if you want a fan's perspective. I probably wouldn't have time to do it for a couple days though. -OptyC Sucks! CUN18:18, 3 May

Awesome, thanks! It might actually be done or near done in a few days.

Part of my hope with this article was that people with a passing familiarity of the band's history (maybe know a handful of former members but not know the details of why they were kicked out or what have you) would come away from it knowing a lot more. Am I a crazy person for seeing Uncyclopedia as an informative medium? --monika 18:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Not at all. I feel the same way. I always enjoy the articles where I learn a little something while laughing far more than articles that are completely pulled out of thin air. We better keep that to ourselves though. If the others found out we're fond of learning they might expell us from the order. I'll go make a note to myself to have a look at it later so I don't forget. -OptyC Sucks! CUN18:28, 3 May

I can personally name all 47 former band members in the correct order of them leaving, citing the correct reasons....."musical differences", "hairspray accident", "pissed off at Dave", etc..... -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

Awesome! You can check my accuracy for me! --monika 18:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, sorry I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. I didn't forget, I've just been busy. I'm still planning on doing it though. -OptyC Sucks! CUN17:05, 17 May

What a coincidence! That's my excuse for not finishing it yet. --monika 17:17, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright, first off let me apologize for taking so long. I'm a procrastinating twit when you get right down to it. I read through it today and now have an almost uncontrollable compulsion to dig out all my old thrash metal tapes (yeah, I said tapes. I'm old skool!). As a fan, I love it.

The Good.

There's lots of factual information in here blended seamlessly with some patent nonsense, so much so that I began to second guess myself. I had completely forgotten that Kerry King really was in the band for a short time, and that makes "King left the band shortly afterwards when it was found his presence on stage cause the audience to chant "Slayer Rules! Slayer Rules!" instead of "Kirk Hammett Sucks! Kirk Hammett Sucks!" as Dave had become accustomed to." even funnier to me. Also; "Not only was Poland accused of selling band equipment, Mustaine suspected his father had alcohol abuse problems, his mother was mentally unstable, his sister was a crackwhore, his girlfriend had numerous sexually transmitted diseases, and, worst of all, his brother was in a glam band. Poland was again kicked out for being, in the words of Mustaine, "a liar, a fucking liar / filthy liar, liar / you fucking liar!" made me laugh so hard I think I may have peed a little. Beautiful, subtle reference that only those familiar with the music are going to appreciate. Very nice. "Samuelson was fired from the band in 1987 for his capacity to convince Mustaine to rehire Poland", "Any rumors that Behler was fired for being a "fat fuck" are unsubstantiated", and "Pitrelli was never explicitly fired from Megadeth, but was rather implicitly given the boot when the band broke up forever in 2002 and not invited back when it reformed two years later" all brought lawls, again very funny to those with any familiarity with the band's history. As someone who still wears a Megadeth T-shirt I bought in high school (1990 to be exact) with embarrassing regularity I thouroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

The (arguably) bad

It's pretty dry. If I wasn't a fan the laughs would have been far fewer. When you got into Marty's mastery of the guitar the technicality of it kinda made my eyes glaze over a bit. I'm not a guitar player (drummer. Me hit things with sticks good!) so maybe I'm just not seeing the humor. This is definitely a niche article as it stands. That's not neccessarily a bad thing in my opinion. I think there's room on Uncyc for some more focused humor such as this. But I'd prepare myself for some "bandcruft" comments if I were you. If you think you'd like it to be more enjoyable for non fans, I think there's plenty of room to add some jokes that aren't so...esotaric? (is that the right word?) without removing any of the wonderful "in-jokes" that you already have.

And the ugly

The timeline! Ugh. I appreciate what you're doing here, but I'm looking at it on a standard monitor and it's bleeding into the text. It might work better if you rotated it horizontal and gave it it's own section somewhere. I don't know, but you need to do something with it. As it is now it's an eyesore.

Overall I, like, totally enjoyed this. It's rad! I'm looking forward to reading the finished version. I hope at least some of my rambling is helpful, and again I'm sorry it took me so long. Cheers. -OptyC Sucks! CUN15:40, 24 May Girls who like thrash are HAWT!,

Thanks!

I guess I should consider ditching the timeline or something. I'll miss it. (As for the Marty thing, that's really more of a math joke than anything else - the number of possible solos is both correct and ridiculously ridiculously high.) Of what's left, the Degrasso stuff will be small (he's a good drummer and all, but eh, the article is long) and the Ellefson stuff, which as I mentioned in the edit summaries, is really difficult for me to write, in part because I really miss him in the band, will read something like a bitter first ex-wife story (but without explicitly making one of the Daves the wife and the other the husband... and with no sex jokes and no gay jokes; this'll be hard but I think I can do it) complete with custody battles over songs and stuff, all true of course.

again very funny to those with any familiarity with the band's history

My hope is that some people will find the article educational in this matter. My rational side then points out that no one will believe everything in the article is true and that the band history is really this ridiculous. (Fired for thinking he had cancer? You can't make this shit up. Surely not even Dave is that much of a dick...)

But I'd prepare myself for some "bandcruft" comments if I were you.

I know. This isn't my first musician article. :)

--monika 18:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I hope you don't think the Slayer Rules! and Kirk Hammett Sucks! bit is patent nonsense. The later was actually regularly chanted at early Megadeth concerts, and the former being chanted was part of the real reason King didn't stay with Megadeth.

FUCK YEAH!

Instead of...

...doing this, why not fix them yourself? I haven't read the nom'd pages myself (and as such, they may or may not be the best/worst things ever), but helping out a noob makes you feel all warm and nauseated inside. Try it, sometime. I did. Right after that, my eyebrows fell out. Well, just the one, actually, but it used to go all the way across. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 05:28, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, not entirely sure why. Bad judgement on my part. I blame... distraction, yeah, that's it. (I do normally try to be helpful...) --monika 05:30, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Just try to remember what it was like to be a noob. Nothing works! Later, you figured out things like "preview", basic formatting, and whatnot. By then, of course, you were no longer a noob. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 05:41, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I know. But I was distracted by trying to help that kid that was fixing German, and now I'm distracted trying to fix the formatting issues on Inspirigun. Distracted, I tell you! --monika 05:44, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Put some fake money down. I'd like to get this thing rolling but I don't want to do it myself since I'm the house.

I tried to, but I don't know any of the new dudes, it would just end up being stoopid. I will try again though. And I think someone blanked your article when it was featured, sorry about that. I posted it in the MetallicaBB forums, and some dude was obviously an asshole. --Realturka 19:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

You posted it on the metboards? Did anyone recognize me? I was well-known around those parts back in the glory days of the rumors board, and ran one of the most popular Metallica websites in 2001ish. (I haven't kept it up to date and it is seriously old.) I probably still have some friends in the wasteland, if that place still exists. --monika 19:44, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Marty Friedman

Hea. Looks like you are having a tricky time with this over at VFH. I just thought I would pop by and mention that I think it's a really good piece of work. I do understand the people who are objecting to it (well the ones who say it's too complicated anyway), and I wish I could make suggestions for how it would be made "more VFH friendly". Trouble is, I'm not sure it can. It is a complex article, one which might really only be understood by people who edit Wikis. Maybe it would help if you included some of your text where you explain the article (somehow) at the top of the actual article? I'm not sure. Maybe that would spoil it... Anyway, I just wanted to say that even if this does not get featured, it is (and will always be) one hell of a great contribution to Uncyc. OK... Enough arse kissing... It's not failed yet! Good luck with it. :-) MrN 00:15, Oct 7

I'm having trouble? You're the one who nominated it! Therefore, it is your trouble, and I wish you good luck with it. I came to terms with no one getting this article a long time ago. :) In fact, I came to terms with no one getting any of my articles a long time ago. Anyway, having it nommed brought to light and forced me to get off my ass and fix some outstanding formatting issues, which is always a good thing. As for the people who don't get it, normally, I'd point them to my explanation, but in this article's case, most of that is how I did it, not what's supposed to be funny. --monika 00:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

so i put my article in review then or at least i think, i put the name in the thing called "gain entry", so what do i have to do to put it in the main page? --Manwithnoname 14:05, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Once it is reviewed, you either use the "move" tab at the top of the page or (recommended) you copy and paste the article from its current edit tab to the edit tab of the existing article. --monika 14:20, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Stocks about Japan-France knowledge between us

Hello. I saw the summary you had written and come to here now.

• 「悔しかったらベルサイユにいらっしゃい」("You shall come onto Versailles if you feel frustrated.") is a mot by Comtesse de Polignac. (Reference: "The Rose of Versailles", Riyoko Ikeda)
• Pomponiare (ポンポニエール, pomponieru) with pieces of konpeito is the gift to thank guests for comming to the Imperial Palace of Japan, by right. There are few people to have been given and few information sources even in Japanese. It is about only 400 or 500 results to google. It is even no image to do that. The term reminds Japanese people to something o-France (Respectful expression of France) because it contains a suffix that pronunces "エール" (eru).

That is all I add those to the articles. Is it hard to fix more easily understandable for English Uncyclopedia? --Ore tatieno 07:07, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, that helps a lot. I'm about to head off for the night, but I'll try to make that work for the article tomorrow morning. :) --monika 07:10, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Mmmmm hello

I don't suppose you've ever had any involvement with a website called Larself, would you?

Cos.. even if you haven't, would you mind hacking into it and updating it anyway? :)

It's mine. (Stalker...) I'll see if I have time, but I know I don't. --monika

I never got my copy of the Secret Project demo. :( By the time I found the website, the link was dead. :( There have been a few posts around the internet speculating where it all went, you have a mention on the Metallica Fan History Wiki. Also, it saddens me to see a dead forum, especially when the spambots have their way with it. And I am SO not a stalker! I mean.. well. Does googling keywords about a person to find them on the internet count as stalking? ...I suppose it probably does. In that case, I need to go outside.

I am a stalker myself. I wouldn't worry about it. I'll look around for a copy of the demo. Having computer issues that are mostly resolved except that several large hard drives are not in any way sorted, and I have very little free time. One of the reasons the site is dead. (The free time thing, not the computer thing - that's more recent.) Anyway, I am half asleep. I'll try to deal with it tonight if I'm not too late at work. --monika 15:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Well don't worry too much about it, I'm sure you're terribly busy. It'd just be nice to one day see a revival of the project and website one of these days. I've seen far too many websites and projects fizzle out of existence, and nowhere near enough websites that return from the abyss. Also I feel like a totally cool detective having found you after all these years. :) I even have my own detective trench coat. And I have a tricorn, but that's completely irrelevant.

UnNews move

See User_talk:PuppyOnTheRadio#UnNews:Australia says "You just don't understand our humour!". Cheers. Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 17:08, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Puppy didn't want to move the article and didn't "have" Modus move it. Modus moved it because Modus decided to move it to make it comply with the rules. As someone who's written UnNews for PLS, I know the formatting to get it to not interfere with normal UnNews operations is not particularly difficult, and so the only problem I see is that you've already made it a featured news thingie. Couldn't you just save that featured news thingie until the thing (re)goes live, and use something else in the meantime? Or are good UnNews articles so sparse this month that there's nothing else worth putting on the front page? --monika 17:14, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Since you've made a lot of changes and the article is much longer, you don't. I would suggest posting it to pee review as a sign of good faith to the moderators (so if they bitch, you can say "I improved it a lot and also I posted it to pee review!" and they'll be like "Okay. Nevermind.") and also because they do give very good advice over there. --monika 05:35, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Normally I'm the same - doing this one is an exception to the rule, as the way it's described the images need to be integral to the article. It always depends on the concept as well. Chatroulette was formatting before text before images, but User:PuppyOnTheRadio/UnBooks:Where do babies come from? was images for ages waiting for the formatting and then the text. Nominally Humane! some time Friday, 03:32, May 28 2010 UTC

I had that book when I was a kid. --monika 07:46, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Unrelated to the above, but I don't want to create another header, I wrote The truth about coca-cola a little while ago, but I'm not 100% happy with it. From what you've done on Marty Friedman it looks as though you've had a certain level of experience with this kind of thing in the past. I have a few ideas on what I can do with this that means that I don't end up with 20 subpages (because realistically I should only have two - the article as it stands, the "original version" and the "difference between versions" - and even that I can work into the one page.) I'd just like to get your feedback on it and see what you would do differently. (Yes, I will be stealing the code that you have for the wikipedia "old version" thing.) Nominally Humane! some time Tuesday, 23:51, Jun 8 2010 UTC

I'd start by capitalizing "Coca-Cola", but that's me. You're going to have to fake a last version and diff page instead of linking back to the actual one. As it is, it's buggy because you can click back and forth and end up with a real and a fake navigation header. I explain how to make the diff page in detail here but in short, what you do is generate the diff page using a sandbox, copy and paste the html code, and run a bunch of find/replaces to fix things. --monika 00:02, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah - admittedly I did do it the laziest way possible which has made it buggy - and that means that it's been screwy when IPs/n00bs have gone in and made changes as well. The caps is a deliberate decision against due to the screwy way that Uncyc searches for articles and capitalises Odd words, but I'm coming to the conclusion that I need to make The truth about Coca-Cola as a redirect page and add {{Title|The truth about Coca-Cola}} to the page - a change that means that on the old version I can add {{Title|The truth about Killer Cola}}, which was my source for this initially. I'll have another look at this later, as I'm a little lost in what you were talking about in regards to looking at the diff and stealing the html - especially as the html is different from the wiki-code - but worst case I can always create a mock difference page. It can't be any more difficult than Search for God! Nominally Humane! some time Wednesday, 00:16, Jun 9 2010 UTC

Your review was thorough, excellent, and generally helpful. I will make all necessary corrections/revisions and then nominate it for VFH, if that's fine with you.

(One thing, though--I was also taught that things like commas and periods go within quotation marks ("this," as opposed to "this",). Even if that's wrong--which I'm sure it isn't--I think it looks better that way anyway.)

I've made revisions--I'm going to nominate it now. Thank you again. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 19:44, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

No problem. The rules for quotation v. punctuation are similar to the rules for serial commas - the rule for certain situations is a choice affected by things like what was learned in school, what languages and dialects one speaks, and what industry one's in. In both cases, the rule's application sometimes can be used to clear up confusion, but when there isn't ambiguity, it's optional. Beyond a certain level of competency, most of these rules are aesthetic anyway. (If I recall correctly, the "putting them always inside" rule goes back to printing presses where it prevented a certain type of fuck-up.) --monika 20:29, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hello

Good to meet you, I haven't made your acquaintence as yet. Hat off and bow. I like your work, and am glad you've dropped by again for a few days or weeks. Nice illustrated article, to get the heads, arms, color of the pics, etc. just right was something I haven't seen often. On the Prisoner page, on my laptop the text starts after the Wikipedia template, so the top section is a huge white space. Maybe this is on all laptops or occur because of my settings (I have no idea what they are). I haven't looked at the page on a large screen as yet, and wonder if the white space shows up there too or is remedied. Again, goods tos meets yas. Aleister 20:57 13 6 MMX

Yo. 'S pleasure. Sounds like it's a div clearance problem. I've checked out the article on a number of computers and a few browsers (firefox and explorer were all I have on hand at the moment and I think I checked it out on opera when it was new), and for me, the Wikipedia box consistently ends up aligned with the reference to Montego Bay in the Miami section (unless I'm in portrait mode, but that's a different story). I'd love a screenshot if you've got the time. --monika 21:15, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Interesting. I've run across other pages like that, both here and on Wikipedia, so whatever setting my screen is on it "sees things" that others don't. I don't have the capacity, as far as I know, to send a screenshot. What you would see on it is just the text aligned under the line of the bottom of the wikipedia box. Maybe we can put this on a forum and have other users send it their viewing experiences. Enjoy. Aleister 21:26 13 6 MMX

What kind of computer are you using? Most keyboards have a prtscn button that copies your screen to the clipboard, wherefrom you can paste it to Paint or Photoshop, save, and upload it. Some OSs give you the option to save it right away. Microsoft also has a free program called "snipping tool" designed for tablets but usable with a mouse that streamlines the process of capturing small parts of the screen. --monika 19:24, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, also

I too am a fan of your work. It takes a great writer to make something like Bleach funny, although those Anglo/Americo-centric xenophobic people at VFH won't vote for it. Thanks for voting for my article, and I hope you stay longer this time. ~ 08:38, Jun 14, 2010

Yeah! Those crazy xenophobes! That's the same reason none of them would vote for my article about マーティ・フリードマン, - he's too Japanese and their puny American minds can't handle it. (Bleach actually did reasonably well in VFH - the second time it had 12+/6- and lost for low health. The first was back in 2006 under old VFH rules when its score was 7 when it died; it was QFH for about a year before they changed the rules. Many of the arguments against it are valid - it is very long, even for something I wrote, it is in-jokey to the point where I don't even get every joke people add to it, and it is very long. It's also out of my articles the one that gets talked about the most on other parts of the internet. (The Varg and his cat picture get around too, but sans context)) Anyway, thanks! Also, I don't so much come and go as go between being more or less sociable and more or less productive. I'm generally around enough to be aware of what's going on - I'm just quiet. --monika 18:38, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Can't explain it

When you click on edit-by-section, it sends a command to edit "Section 3" or whatever. If, between the time you called up the page and the time you clicked, someone created a section before Section 3 (which is how it happens on VFD), then you will not be editing the section you think you are. This has happened to me, and the only remedy is to check the article title in the edit window; if it's wrong, you have to call for a fresh copy of the VFD page and start over. Spıke ¬ 19:01 22-Jun-10

Thanks. I thought I was going crazy(er). I still can't explain it though because that edit triggered an "edit conflict" alert and I didn't save but rather went back and edited the correct section. I distinctly recall only saving the edit the second time. Oh well. My grasp on reality weakens daily. --monika 19:04, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

"Edit conflict" is a result of someone else's change that occurs between the time you get the text for your edit window and the time you click to submit your change. MediaWiki ensures that the page's timestamp is still what it was when you called for a piece of it to edit.

You say, "I...went back." If you went back via your browser's history, it could have been to an old version of the page (cached on your PC). In this case, the [edit] button would again specify a section by number that didn't correspond to the saved section. There is almost always an explanation. Spıke ¬ 19:19 22-Jun-10

I went back by clicking on the article tab. You might also notice in the history that my two edits occurred with in a minute of each other long before your edit, and so I never "now moved" my incorrectly placed vote as stated in your other edit - I simply never believed that the first one happened. There is an explanation - instability along the probability axis. --monika 19:47, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry--My change summary wasn't supposed to be proof of what you did or didn't do. It was just supposed to explain why I deleted my remark to you from the VFD box, something that's usually frowned upon. You effectively "moved" your vote, by getting it to appear only in the box you intended; and then I deleted what I had written to you in the other box. Spıke ¬ 19:58 22-Jun-10

I wasn't saying it was proof, just a wording that better fit a possible interpretation that wasn't actually what happened. The thing is, trying to explain it is moot (modern American English - I've recently been getting in trouble with Janus words). The only possible explanation that doesn't delve into movement along higher dimensions is that I remember it differently from how it actually happened, and believe that I didn't push a button I must have pressed. (I'm a scientist who spends most of my time working with probability as a dimension, and also a Douglas Adams fan and a Star Trek fan, so I'm inclined to assign the other possibility a non-zero weight.) --monika 20:07, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

"Oh", I said, "you must mean Diamonds & Rust. That's such a lovely song. Have I ever told you what it's about?"
"Well, I just..."
"I wrote it for an old cell-mate, David Harris."
"For your cell-mate?" Bob said.
"Yeah. Who did you think it was about?" I stonewalled.
"Oh, hey, what the fuck do I know?"
"He was a wonderful chap. Nicest man I met in prison. I could have spent my life with him but he was married to some hussy. We had a fantastic arrangement. I used to protect him from the rougher convicts, and in exchange he would bugger me good and hard."
"Isn't it usually the other way around?"
"You know me. Never mind. I'll sing it, if you like."

2. In a 2008 interview, Halford said "It's rare that anyone ever criticises me or tries to tell me what to work on. It's been years since someones come out and said 'I'm better than you. Listen to me. You might learn something.' I miss that."

Continuing discussion from VFH nom.

The answer to the three major issues you have with this piece (title, image quality, jokes you made in 1984) is actually relating back to the initial angle that I wanted for this piece. The idea was to strip something down into it's simplest form and look at it through the eyes of a child, while retaining an adults understanding. The book was from the late 70s/early 80s from what I could tell, and I wanted the graphic representations on the site to resemble that beyond the style of the art itself. The scans were of a slightly higher quality, ignoring odd shading and the yellowing form the dating of the book, but they were pulled back to a 16 colour gif, which to me screams of ega graphics in the 80s. The title of the book is more related to a child's enquiry, rather than an adult preaching to a child. There may be an element of humour in the title, but the change on that makes a change to the feel of the remainder. And as to the humour itself - of course they're jokes that many would think of when given those images. In fact thanks to your work in finding other images I've fund a few of those jokes repeated elsewhere. They're jokes that are made from the simplest level of humour. This is a children's book parody, and as such I wanted the humour to represent that level of writing as well. I know that you won't agree with the way that I have done this article or the things that I've mentioned above, but you asked the questions so I'm letting you have a bit more of an insight into why I do things the way I do. Nominally Humane! some time Sunday, 22:31, Jul 4 2010 UTC

Gotcha. Dithering was a pain in the ass in 1984. The Rainbow Brite expansion pack for Color Me used dithering, but the Color Me program itself didn't have dithering support, so any modifications to those images needed painstaking hand-pixelation. Books didn't look like that though.--monika 22:51, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Diamonds & Rust

Only four votes on VFH makes me tremble, weep, and tear my clothes at the level of discerning intelligence on this site of users practically just emerging from the jungle. When they are confronted with an article of such depth, satire, amazingly realistic chops, and the level of thought going into both the conception and the elaborate writing and illustrating, they must run and forget the experience in order to live a life free of a singular memory of glory. No Diamonds No Rust--just aluminum and Bud Lite for their time on this spinning ball. In other words, a great article so far overlooked by passerbys who seldom glance at the sky. Aleister 11:53 16 7

This is just a reminder that you offered to judge the PLS, wound up with your name on a section, and still haven't done it. Apparently the deadline for results is October 12th, so... uh, please do so before then, and stuff. Cheers. 1234 ~ 20:22, 8 October 2011

Why I feel personally insulted

The words "Why should an article that the author admits was quickly half-assed and not worth polishing up be featured?" are very hurtful to me. In my opinion, they constitute a misrepresentation of what I have said about my PLS entry and they question my integrity. It also presumes that your opinion about my PLS entry constitutes "polishing up to be featured". By making this statement, you did create drama. That lead to more drama, which is my own fault.

Did you notice how I used the words "in my opinion". What if the comment on your against vote went something like this: "In my opinion, the author quickly threw this article together and is trying to get it featured without polishing it up". While it's still a bit rude (In my opinion), at least you are clearly stating that it's your opinion and not a statement of fact. Being misunderstood and having my words paraphrased into something they clearly are not, to me, is tantamount to rape (let's just say that my childhood was a nightmare and leave it at that) That's not my opinion, that is honestly how it makes me feel - and this has happened multiple times now. Over a PLS article.

My article is no different than Pac Man, it was intentionally short and lacking in intellectual stimulation - I was focusing on prurient stimulation. I feel the same way you felt over Pac Man, there should have been something besides a gigantic cut and paste of left right up down left right up down left right up down left right up down. It was "quickly thrown together" too, yet it got featured. I don't wish to argue about this article any more, I just want you to know how you've made me feel. If my criticisms of your PLS judging have made you feel upset, I am truly sorry. I should have just shut up and let it go but I'm a big, whiny baby. --    17:44, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

I'm on heavy sedatives right now so I can't really respond to this (and for all I know I'm typing nonsense right now, so sorry), but I originally wrote the commend quoting you directly so you couldn't say I was putting words in your mouth, but then it was just very long. I should have gone with that version.

Also, you only fixed some of the stuff I pointed out (not even talking changes to the article, just the minor fixes). Considering that you didn't seem to appreciate that I proofread it in the first place, and that you didn't bother responding to the last thousand-word response that I thought was going to shape up to a useful discussion on the craft, and that you didn't submit it for review or proofing or anything, I assumed any further proofreading on my part would be uninvited and taken as a personal insult. Since I also figured that the article was just going to fade away, there also didn't seem to be much point (that is, if you weren't going to do anything with it, it wouldn't matter, and if you were going to do something with it, that you'd proofread it yourself).

And nothing is meant to be personal. --monika 22:02, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Well, here's my quote: "All my work went into "college DJ", there were only two days left to enter the PLS and you didn't have squat to review in this category - so yes, it was thrown together quickly."

Here's your quote: "Why should an article that the author admits was quickly half-assed and not worth polishing up be featured?"

There's nothing to discuss here, you've misquoted me. There never would have been a discussion about PLS if you didn't directly invite the authors to comment about your judging. You were one judge in a contest. I was under no obligation to keep the article in userspace until you were satisfied with its contents but you misquoted me (again) and ripped on me for daring to mainspace my article - in the final scoring for best illustrated.

I disagreed with your opinion. Another PLS judge, who happened to be in the target audience (young males), liked the article. Clearly, you've overstepped your boundaries here and have made it a personal quest to attack me (and the article) for daring to criticize you. Your commentary on the PLS scoring and your commentary on VFH are direct, personal attacks on the author. All based on your personal interpretation of the one sentence above. This is not a gray area, it's very black and white.

This is really simple, I've already explained this. I don't agree with what you want my article to be. Please leave me and the article alone and stop trying to force me into making my version of my article into what you think it should be. Your opinion is valid, I just don't agree with it. That's why I'm saying, again, you've overstepped your bounds personally and professionally here. There is no need to vindicate yourself.--    14:41, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Guys, can I just appeal for calm here for a moment and before you say anything Monika. This all needs to stop before it goes any further. You have made your feelings clear Dr. Strange and I'm sure Monika didn't intentionally cause you the level of distress and upset you describe above with her comment. Whether you guys agree with me or not I strongly suggest you go your separate ways and don't interact with each other for a while unless the conversation is going to involve offers of biscuits/love/mutual affection. I don't mind either of you speaking to me or other admins about it but let's end this right here.
