Johnson

Your talk page looked like it could use a Johnson in it. So there you are. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Tue, Dec 18 '12 15:05 (UTC)

In or out of the tent? --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 15:44, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Due to his strategically-placed hands, I really can't tell.

So, how's it feel...

...to be a published author? ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Thu, Dec 20 '12 21:42 (UTC)

Thanks for the link but...why issue January 2012? --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 07:04, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Um, I don't know. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Fri, Dec 21 '12 8:43 (UTC)

Typo

Just noticed I misspelt Argentina in UnNews:UK and Argentinia hopeful over new pointless conflict . Could you correct it for me darling? --Leverage (talk) 10:36, December 22, 2012 (UTC)

Yes Captain Blackadder. Done. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 10:47, December 22, 2012 (UTC)

Author promise to work on this more.

Don't hold your breath. If you follow my link on the VFH of Boston Red Sox that you just closed, you will see that the article's deficiencies that I noted on VFH I had previously addressed to Author. His response, as usual, was to do nothing, wait two weeks, and nominate it anyway. He responded to my No vote with a polite message asking if I would care to "clean up" the page a bit, though when I rolled that back, he left a terse apology in its place. In other words, another, to use GT's term, shit-nom independent of an article's quality for the sole purpose of fluffing his personal count of successful nominations on his user page. If Froggy's three-day ban of Kamek98 had some point other than personal amusement, I would say that he is now ready for six. Short of that, I would not cite a promise made by him to justify any action. Spıke ¬ 10:42 23-Dec-12

OK I will suggest he does that in future. I don't like banning productive contributors but they have to abide by the house rules. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 10:49, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

PS--The said personal count of nominations is in 6 Featured Content That I Have Nominated. I appended 7 Pulitzer Prizewinning Authors To Whom I Have Written Letters That I Might Mail but he expressed only bafflement when reverting it. I must be slipping.... Spıke ¬ 12:25 23-Dec-12

You take things way too seriously. 1) I am not nominating complete shit by nominating Boston Red Sox. Even you yourself said you would rather abstain and wouldn't mind seeing it on the main page. Do you think maybe that gave me a thought I should nominated it? 2) If you read Featured Content That I Have Nominated, I explain it is just for show and if you would like me to remove it, I will. I'm fine with that. Also, what the hell is the Pulitzer Prize? I reverted that because I had no idea what you meant by that. I've been trying to change how I do things. (I know I've gotten better)--SirPeasewhizzdeNewYork Click here to talk 14:36, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

The Pulitzer Prize is an an American award for journalistic excellence, named after Joseph Pulitzter and dates back to the 19th century. Became tarnished when a couple of winners were shown to have written fiction instead of news reporting. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 16:03, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Oh well I knew about Joseph Pulitzer. I didn't know about the prize though, lol.--SirPeasewhizzdeNewYork Click here to talk 16:46, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Spike was implying you're claiming credit for other people's articles which you have merely nominated, and not written. If I were you I'd give the VfH a miss for a while, it's not really worth all the hassle is it? If I like an article, I leave a note on the discussion page, or if there is one definitive writer, on his user talk page. That way the user gets a pat on the back, and no one gets their knickers in a twist about whether it should be featured or not. --Leverage (talk) 16:14, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry Leverage. Is that message for me or Kamek98? --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 16:19, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

For Kamek! --Leverage (talk) 16:46, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

I never claimed credit. I claimed credit for nominating the article for featuring, but I removed it now.--SirPeasewhizzdeNewYork Click here to talk 16:52, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Then it is a misunderstanding. Writers finding other people's work and nominating is what I do a lot. If it is your own article - then you add Selfnom&For to be clear. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 17:02, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Okay I will do.--SirPeasewhizzdeNewYork Click here to talk 17:03, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Festivus

I should have thought of this sooner, seeing that Bing is listing our pages quite high in their que. Could you do some admin magic and change the name of The Threat of Festivus to Festivus. I already have Festivus as a redirect, which doesn't show up on search engines. I tried yesterday but changing the name doesn't carry over the "Feature" ribbon in the corner. Will still call it "The Threat of Festivus" but will code that in on the page itself (much like Ann Coulter is named David Coulter). Thanks, and happy Festivus!!! Aleister 15:12 Festivus'12

Retrospectively changing the name of an article after it was featured to get a better hit rate on Bing? A bit of post production vanity Al! I don't know if there is a precedent for a request like that. I will consult the dusty tomes of Uncyclopedia's historic archives. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 16:11, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Well sure, the tomes say "Do it!" An argument for doing so is that it is our article on Festivus regardless, only the page will go to Festivus and the redirect will be for the "The Threat to Festivus" title (which will stay the title upon seeing the page, i.e. Ann Coulter to David Coulter). If it wouldn't be our Festivus page I wouldn't have asked, but the detail in the page covers the entire subject quite well. And hit rates are the name of the game in some places, and Festivus would be one of those. Check out my James Bevel page on Bing, it's usually number two or three. And Boone's Farm, with a little work it could be number one (it's number two last time I looked). Location location location. I love Kip's work around Christmas, he just keeps coming up with new articles and themes by the bushel. Aleister 17:26Festivus'12

I checked through. Couldn't find an instruction that this couldn't be done so I have moved the article to a new page Festivius with a redirect. The only problem is that I have lost the vote page that went with it. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 09:34, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Romartus, and I won't make this a habit (unless we want to change "People Who Like to Fuck Naked" to "A strange subset of humans, the ones who enjoy the pleasure of making the love without their clothes hindering them in any way"). Ah, the vote page, that is a problem, and it's listing on the feature list. Will it now come up as a Random feature for the hordes of readers who hit that link? Thanks again, you are a gentlemen who is like a scholar. And if you've read this far into my post, may I have the honor of nominating the epic now, or at some point soon? Joking aside, it would be an honor. I wonder where it is on Bing? Aleister 13:33 The Day After Festivus '12

p.s. The epic is number five! And whoops, Festivus does not exist, so the link isn't working. Ah, but the misspelled Festivius does. It's a Festivus miracle!

Now it works. Epic? --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 14:08, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Festivus lives! The Epic: History of Great Britain, it's listed number five if someone types into Bing "history of Great Britain". I'll try "history Great Britain" and see where that takes us. And when it's featured (although it may fail for lack of work, needs additional material) it should even move up at least a slot. (checked, "history Great Britain" kicks it down to number eight, but still on the first page.Aleister 14:52 later

I see

that you're online so could you please ban 66.177.117.224 (Talk • Contribs (del) • Block (rem-lst-all) • Whois • City • Proxy? • WP Edits • Checkuser). He/she put some ads to my userpage. Seems quite punishable. Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 19:59, 23 December, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Banned extra long for putting in those links. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 20:02, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, thank you! And hey, happy early christmas if you celebrate it! (It just popped in my mind...) Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 20:04, 23 December, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Advisory

Hi, thank you for letting me know and not immedieately blocking me. I admit, i have been a bit careless recently, but those recent 'unconstructive' edits are completely explainable. The first one; i tried to put some sort of background for my userpage profile but the abuse filter thought i was trying to vandalize the page, which i was not (why would you vandalize your OWN userpage in the first place) The second one was indeed an accident, but it was not exactly done on purpose. The article i did that on was really bad and has already been deleted (the article was : Jeroen overeem), i tried to delete everything on that page (it only had a few lines anyway) to put a Delete template but i am sorry for that since that appearantly was not needed. And, an article i created which you deleted (How to be stupid and not just funny THE IMAGE VERSION was really gibberish and stupid but that was on purpose because the article had to look satire and not serious.

In other words, i'll try to watch out next time. Contact me if i screw up again, but if i do, that will never be on purpose. Thanks for reading! --RockoRocks (talk) 20:54, December 23, 2012 (UTC) Sorry forgot to sign!!

The How to be etc article I will only restore to your subpages because this is no illogicopedia - so just a collection of random nonsense does not equal an article as yet. Also as a new user, there a few things you can't do for a couple of days which probably explains why the Abuse Filter thought you were a vandal. This system was in put in place for precisely that reason. Let me know what you want me to do by leaving a message here. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 22:15, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Is this alright?

I wanted to do something like Inbox, only I'm gonna do Schedule. I'm using a month's calender and adding funny things to the days. Like "Stalk Lisa" and "Repurchase Weed Supplies". I was gonna make the article just that picture, but would that be fine?--SirPeasewhizzdeNewYork Click here to talk 23:46, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

If you are not too sure how an article is going to go and don't want it tagged, it is a good idea to create a subpage as a test area. If I recall, Inbox was started by one user who then encouraged others to join in. With Inbox, the humour came the messages sent to the person, not what he was going to do. With something like Schedule, I would imagine it would be filled in by his or her personal assistant, in a way like say the TV show Madmen. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 23:55, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

I could do that sometime. I'll make a subspace for User:Kamek98/Month Calender and let you decide if it is mainspace worthy.--SirPeasewhizzdeNewYork Click here to talk 23:58, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

OK. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 00:00, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

So would this be alright?--SirPeasewhizzdeNewYork Click here to talk 00:18, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, start it in your own subpage first. Then invite other writers to help with ideas what to put in there in the same way Inbox was created. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 06:59, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

I do hope this 'Lisa' is not based on someone you know. I have had a look. Stalking hmmm. That's more creepy than funny in my view. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 09:25, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

I don't even know a Lisa, besides a really old one. Would you like to help? And I've replied to you in my talk page.--SirPeasewhizzdeNewYork Click here to talk 18:03, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

I need to take a break Eric. Knocked out two articles today besides everything else here. Sorry. I will look at it over the next few days. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 20:15, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Kerala

Thank you for featuring Kerala. Yes, the relationship to Christmas Day is inscrutable. For the main page, as you have deleted the sentence about Kerala being solely backward, you should also delete the sentence that set that joke up--that Malayalam is a palindrome--because it isn't funny by itself. Cheers. Spıke ¬ 23:46 24-Dec-12

Treat

Kip the Dip has given you a candy cane! Say, when are you going to feature a goatse?

I want my money back!!

No UnsignedPost! RAWRRR!! Just kidding, I didn't pay.--SirPeasewhizzdeNewYork Click here to talk 01:03, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

What do you think of HowTo:Get Your Friends To Stop Calling You Gay

I forgot about this one. Any suggestions?--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 21:13, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Seems more of UnScripts than a HowTo. May be better if it was one or another in my view. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 19:38, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Would it be VFH material if I moved it? Or should I not?--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 23:15, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Question for User:Kamek98/Month Calender

How would I make the next day go back to Monday?--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 18:54, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

I am no techie, sorry. You could ask SPIKE or Frosty. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 19:40, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

You don't want an 8-column table where the 8th column is headed Monday as the 1st column is. What you want is a table with more than one row (week). Start at Wikipedia's Help pages on the MediaWiki coding language. Spıke ¬ 21:44 29-Dec-12

Thanks SPIKE. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 22:26, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

About an edit

Hi Romartus, I saw that you had edited something on the Berlusconi article, but I think it must have been a mistake. You started a new paragraph in the middle of a character making a statement and quotation marks were added at the end of the new paragraph. I'm not a prima donna or anything, but in this case it didn't seem to make much sense. Let me know if I'm missing something obvious because I had too much Finnish beer tonight.--Bill Melater (talk) 22:09, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

No problem to revert but I think the speech there needs to be broken up to avoid appearing is one large block. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 22:24, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I blunderstand now. You're absolutely right. I added two breaks that take care of that. Thank you!--Bill Melater (talk) 06:53, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Jim Morrison is featured; Thanks!

Murder Frog has awarded you a pair of scissors! Now go run around with them.

You very kindly noticed the article I was rewriting, gave it a helpful Pee Review, added a photo, and nominated it to VFH. Now I just noticed that it will be featured, and I am very thankful for all the help you gave to me while fixing it up. Please have this pair of scissors, freshly shined. --Murder Frog ✄ Dull interest wanes. 23:36, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations Murder Frog, you did a very nice re-work on this subject. As a Doors fan and having read 'No One Gets Out Of Here Alive', I enjoyed the article. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 12:16, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Question

Would you happen to know any templates that I could place User:Kamek98/PANIC! at the Disco in? It is a story of someone who panicked at the disco.--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 17:28, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Template:People who panic at discos Aleister 17:34 30december12

Would it be alright if me and Murder Frog nominated our new article?

PANIC! at the Disco, we think it is a good article. Any opinions?--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 20:10, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Would that be in addition to the THREE you have on VFH at the moment, which doesn't count the one you got Frosty to nominate as your proxy? Yes, I have an opinion; it is that you should find a way to enjoy Uncyclopedia that does not revolve around having the rest of us vote on honors for you every day of the week. Spıke ¬ 21:20 30-Dec-12

I meant later dude. I enjoy Uncyclopedia anyways. And no, for the the last time, I'm not trying to make myself "GOD F****** ALMIGHTY FAMOUS" here! Geez. And you can remove the nom that I had Frosty nominate. I was only half serious. I hate that article with a passion.--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 21:33, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

I take that back. I'm sorry. I just saw you voted for an article I nominated I didn't write at all for. I believe it is the first time you've done that, actually. Thank you, Spike.--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 21:34, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

In fact, I voted for your nomination of Nutella as well. For which I claim you contributed (1) the first word, (2) two damned fine illustrations once they acquired damned fine captions, and (3) a steady stream of digressions I had to decide between making funny or reverting. That is to say, if it clears, I claim 1 full point in the Hall of Shame. Spıke ¬ 00:06 31-Dec-12

Hello? What's been going on here?? Seems the Christmas spirit has pissed off down the pub with these exchanges! Can we all just all calm down eh? I don't think there is any limit regards articles by a writer(s) on VFH. Just that overall total cannot reach 20. I am not 100% sure but personally I think 4 up at any one time from one writer could be the max. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 00:31, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Well, speaking of "down the pub," welcome back th' website. Spıke ¬ 00:36 31-Dec-12

Thank you Spike. I will now find the broom to clear up the broken glass lying on the floor...--RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 00:53, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

C'mon, throwing our glasses at the hearth after draining them is a harmless ethnic tradition. Spıke ¬ 01:02 31-Dec-12

What? Okay fine take 1 point to the Hall of Shame. I don't a give a care. 1) I asked you if you wanted to do a collaboration on Nutella and you took it from my userspace before I got to work on it and started an article on it. Sure, I didn't do much on the article (only influencing some parts) and a few pictures and some Italian translation. Cool take credit. I don't care anymore. I wish we could get along but all you do is piss on me. Wait, no you don't. Sorry that was just too easily able to be taken wrongly. Whatever. Nevermind, bye.--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 01:14, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Damn...I had only just swept up the glass! Can I remind you both (Spike and Kamek) to be civil to each other, no need to flex muscles or stand on boxes? Also, I don't know why you are both slugging this business out here on my talk page. Credits-schmedits! --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 09:47, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Nutella is now my page, and I have taken credit for it in the Hall of Shame. Why anyone else thought they had credit for it is strange, and I thank everyone who voted for it. Aleister 10:19 31decemb12

One last thing, Romartus. You decide. Is it half credit between me and SPIKE or is it full him?--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 16:55, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

I am not going to act like Solomon here. If two writers disagree about credits, then it suggests to me that wasn't a successful collab or join enterprise. I have contributed to countless of articles with images, captions, some extra paragraphs or rewording (as will be seen in the logs). I haven't expected a co-credit on those and if I myself don't think I really 'made the article', I am content for one writer to claim it all. I am just happy that my assistance gave an article that extra push to get it featured. I personally want to encourage as many people here as possible to write about something that interests them. This website relies on collaboration at all levels to work. We are not like students sitting for an exam. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 18:19, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Spike can have the credit if he truly believes he deserves it, I have no problem. Cheers. --Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 19:38, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, no. You missed my post? I get the credit. Noobs! Aleister New Years Eve with me getting credit for that too.

Hello!

Hi man, I was just wondering if doing a new paragraph for my sig was a real bad thing. Thought that it would look neat since my sig wouldn't "break" you know. But that's just my thing. Even though I've been here a few months ago, I haven't really been able to remove myself from the clasps of n00bism or n00bishness, if that's the proper term. Yours truly, Rj2399™ 19:37, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

You are welcome to come here and perform wheelies. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 23:38, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, RJ, and welcome. You should take a moment to read UN:SIG as there are rules in place against the most outlandish signatures. If a signature contains a hard break--or is so long that it needs one so as not to break elsewhere--it might break the rule on overall size. Spıke ¬ 00:38 1-Jan-13

Thanks Spike. Rj, I do suggest having a look at that page or ask other users how they created their particular signature. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 11:23, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
