Cleaaaan... - Not anymore

Hi Wageslav! I was passing by and that that I might as well just say hi! How are things going? And seeing I am here, tell me if you'd like any help with anything... Anton (talk) 14:13, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Nothing really, haven't been editing as much because of real life stuff. I'll get more time soon enough though. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 00:07, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Ideas

Would it be ok to suggest ideas to you? I'd be interested in seeing a John Oliver article, with the theme perhaps placing emphasis on how he says "IT'S 2015!" a lot, similar to Cars 2 and the wasabi.--EpicWinner (talk) 04:31, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

I have some ideas, like John Oliver's weird thing where he says "Samantha, you've gone too far! Too far!" or "Kevin, you're throwing your life away with those cheese rolls!" or some other random thing that's made less to satirize the subject he's covering and more to provide levity or else the audience will go to sleep. Maybe have the article look like a script to a Last Week Tonight segment? I'm working on some other stuff so I can't write it right now. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 05:47, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

I'd prefer if the article was one of your more "traditional" ones (i.e. shitlord), but whatever floats your boat.

Also, does your username mean you're Slavic, or is it "Wageslave" without an 'e'?--EpicWinner (talk) 16:01, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Also: another idea would be how he keeps mentioning the new Muppets TV show on ABC and how Kermit "fucked Miss Piggy".--EpicWinner (talk) 16:28, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

I first signed up at the Wikia site as "Wageslav" since I missed the 'e', but I thought the pun was funny, what with the slavic people's history of labor troubles so I kept it when I signed up here. And the John Oliver thing might be hard since you're trying to satirize satire, which is hard to get right. The Cars 2 article was never meant to be satire though, so you can't really use the same "theme" or whatever if I'm making any sense. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 19:21, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Cars 2

Do you like what I added to the article so far? I'll admit, I won't wrestle with you over this, but it flares up my Aspergers to see the sections "out-of-order" (on Wikipedia it usually goes: "Opening / Plot / Cast and characters / Production / Release, merchandise, etc. / Reception / Sequel / See also / External links"). Would it be possible for you to re-edit Lasseter's commentary in this order, or do you think it flows better in the more unconventional way?--EpicWinner (talk) 06:58, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Well, I've been loosely keeping the same order with the edits you've done, but I wrote a narrative to the article where John Lasseter goes insane, and I'd rather just have the Cast header go after the Production header than to retool the thing since I'm pretty lazy. It doesn't have to be 100% perfect, but I am trying to make it look more wiki-like since that's what you're going for. I'm also trying to change some of the plot headers up so it won't show up in the table of contents, since it kinda spoils the whole Lasseter going off the deep end thing when you can read the weird God is dead poem before it shows up. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 07:04, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

I didn't even notice you added the ending where he goes insane, that's a brilliant touch.--EpicWinner (talk) 07:10, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Other than a couple sentences that could be revised the article seems kind of done I guess. I want to put it on VFH but I don't know if you're done or if you want to do anything major with the page, or even if anyone else thinks it's funny.

Also, what's with the huge list of tiny edits thing you do? I mean it's great you're contributing and all but the preview button does come in handy. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 07:33, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm more used to the feeling of "hurry and get it done now".--EpicWinner (talk) 07:48, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

I tried re-organizing it now, making there be a bit of a battle between Lasseter and his marketer. Feel free to revert if you don't like it, or maybe improve the flow.--EpicWinner (talk) 08:25, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

The flow seems fine. I usually just save the text into google docs or notepad, so I don't have to worry about crashes or my connection crapping out on me. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 09:08, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Imperial Colonisation/Colonization/whatever

Have you thought about rebooting this project somehow? Many of the articles here are pieces of shit (though some are improving)), but having users collaborate on rewriting them could really help out. 08:26, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

No, not really. What I'd really like to do is to get a bunch of users to revamp the DYK entries on the front page. A lot of them are awful, I think I saw a Chuck Norris joke there. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 01:56, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Photoshopping

Do you know anyone on this site who's good at Photoshopping? For the Sega Genesis article, I would really like it if someone Photoshopped a picture of a Genesis with the color pattern of Genesis' Abacab, rather than the plain black look. That would be really funny to me.--EpicWinner (talk) 07:58, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

I'll try. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 08:00, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I recommend you use these two images.

Star Wars

Since the new SW movie is coming out soon, do you know anyone who could write an article on the best villain ever, Sheev?--EpicWinner (talk) 01:21, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry no. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 01:26, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry to pester you, but since you added some prequel hate to the SW article back a while ago, could you maybe add a bit more about the reactions Ep7 got, how it was basically just a rehash of the original trilogy?--EpicWinner (talk) 08:14, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

You still here?

It seems like this site is dead for a moment and all the members are gone (excluding me). Is work keeping you from doing as much?--EpicWinner (talk) 09:10, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

I actually like how dead and quiet things are since that means nothing's expected of me here. Like other sites they're all "oh you're a member of the community and yada yada responsibilities" here everyone's just grateful someone's kept the lights on. I mean I have enough time to write stuff I just watch tv a lot. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 09:24, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Sounds good. Also, who's the qt on the top left of your page?--EpicWinner (talk) 09:27, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

VFD

Can you please vote for/against the articles on VFD to speed up the process?--EpicWinner (talk) 01:03, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Bit of help

Can you help me with these articles and maybe spice them up a bit to make them funnier?--EpicWinner (talk) 07:43, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Did you just copy the text from Conservapedia? – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 08:20, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

I sporked them because the articles were in such dire shape. Now I'm trying to modify them and make them "original".--EpicWinner (talk) 08:23, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks dude for reverting the vandal on Ohio. -- MagicBus Can you ride my Magic Bus? 01:01, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

You're welcome. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 01:05, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for providing me this feeling of elation

That's a fancy way of saying thank you for giving one of my little articles love. I owe you one for getting this thing featured. User:Matthlock/sig2 00:06, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

You're welcome too. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 01:05, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Wageslav! UnNews:Trump: "Iran will have a nuke by 2167!"

Changed the wording to Trump instead of Obama, if still interested. The date can be changed quite easily. Mattsnow 00:40, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for reconsidering, not sure the article will make it but I thought you made a good comment in the abstain section. I always say I will come back and I don't so I will stop saying it and maybe come back lol. :) Very glad for the work you do on the site. Mattsnow 06:51, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Josef Stalin

Thanks for the extra jokes and nomination. I thought it was all Leverage's 'doings'. I see you have committed full on to the Fork. Make sure this place doesn't descend into excess Navelism!! --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 13:16, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

I'll try. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 16:20, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Your Main Page reskin

Hey Wageslav. I've just rolledback banzaikitten's edit where he added your version of the Trump reskin to the Main Page, after talking about it on IRC with banzai, but I thought I should leave you a little note about it. I really do appreciate that you took the time to help improve upon my original concept. It doesn't make sense to host images used on the site on imgur. Our site is fully equipped to host images, and uploading them here allows for more information to be given (for example if you are not the content creator you can link the original source in the image description). I have personally never understood why we would imbed youtube videos on the site. They don't lend themselves to an encyclopedic tone, and - except in rare cases where Uncyclopedians have uploaded videos to youtube - the content is copyrighted work being used without permission. I think you did a very good job of getting the "ugly on purpose" style of web design, but the original design was meant to look like an official statement. Keep up the good work and hopefully we can all get started on the next reskin more than 12 hours before it's due so we can all collaborate more (I think the next big holiday thing is Earth Day if you've got any ideas). -- The Zombiebaron 18:46, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

The imgur thing was cause I was in a hurry. I don't mind, though I do miss the epileptic text. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 01:45, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Vfh

IS there a way to get rid of the health column on Uncyclopedia:VFH/summary ? Every time I try, the data goes weird. Leverage (talk) 16:59, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

I'll try but that seems above my paygrade. You should probably ask Bizzeebeever if he isn't dead. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 19:23, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

I assume all admins are dead except for me. I have this so far: User:Leverage/Test . I can't seem to get rid of those numbers in the last column, no matter what I delete. Leverage (talk) 06:22, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. My feeling is that cos voting is so sparse these days, having the percentages there seemed kind of negative. Once upon a time if a percentage was low we removed it, but now even featured articles are likely to droop down towards 10%, so it's not really much of an indicator. I kept the health bar at the bottom anyway. --Leverage (talk) 11:40, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

UnNews:Ted Cruz dies by self immolation

Hahaha very good! I laughed. Do you want me to add it to VFH? I'm pretty sure it could pass. Mattsnow 16:37, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

No it's already old. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 16:39, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

DP...L

Do you know much about DPL? I am updating this page: UnNews:Archive

I quite like how the top 100 just shows the links. I don't like how the other years break down into days. Is there anyway to simply have a DPL list of ALL 2016 UnNews, all 2015, all 2014, etc? Leverage (talk) 14:24, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Extension:DynamicPageList3 (DPL3), version 3.5.2: Error: Too many categories! Maximum: 4. Help: increase $wgDplSettings['maxCategoryCount'] to specify more categories or set $wgDplSettings['allowUnlimitedCategories'] = true; for no limitation. (Set the variable in the wiki's LocalSettings.php configuration file.)

I copied what the top 100 thing did and changed some things. – roza (talk ☭ ctbs ☭ log) 06:40, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the fast response as always! Unfortunately, it seems on some years the pages don't show chronologically, and on older years we simply have too many stories to display (I don't know what the limit is on the DPL, but maybe a couple of hundred, and back in the day that only does like 6 months of UnNews).

Another idea that occurred to me would be to find a way for users to click on July 2016, say, and then see the stories straight away. whereas at the moment you have to click the month and then each individual day and then the story:

July 2016

Any ideas if that is possible? Leverage (talk) 10:10, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
