I just wrote this article today. Add anything you want to it. -- Lollipop - CONTRIBS - WRITINGS - SHOP - Now adopting! 01:21, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

I added the {{NEIGHBORS}} template to it, if you remove it from the article then it must be removed from the template too Gen. Fudgem0bile Wants to play Planeshift. 02:42, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Lolipop, hope you don't mind that I just stick to the stupid cats thing. Why don't you add stuff? Your ideas are really awsome. Like, maybe other ways of preparing cats, or cooking baby stupid cats or what not!? --ShabiDOO 02:43, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

I have an idea. What to do with a stupid cat. -- Lollipop - CONTRIBS - WRITINGS - SHOP - Now adopting! 02:55, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, are you going to do a re-write of this ? It's been over a month since I put it on VFD, and if you're not, I still don't think the current contents are worth keeping. Thanks. 18:53, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

My oh my, processes and processes. Were you really keeping track of this article, does it itch you that much? Hahahaha, well, if you really just cannot live with that article the way it is on the main space for a few more weeks, put it on my userpage. Thanks. --ShabiDOO 08:00, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Processes are not the problem, when they are followed. Also, Coronium's attitude is not the problem and ridicule is not appropriate. The problem is that you induced voters to keep this little fewmet with a promise to repair it, and have never touched the page in almost two months. Spıke ¬ 10:29 13-Mar-11

Spike, on your user talk page you talk about "processes" and about people taking things seriously. I dont know if you are joking or not right now, I hope you are. --ShabiDOO 20:51, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

I am not. Coronium is just as new as you are, and you are giving him grief for noticing that you didn't do something you said you were going to do--and even then, politely asking you what should happen next. Spıke ¬ 20:55 13-Mar-11

No, its just another drive to delete and delete and delete stuff. And you dont just notice something like that, you keep track of it. You keep tabs on it. Its not a priority at the moment and, as I said, if it MUST be off the user space as it is, put it on my user space. I find the whole VFD side of uncyclopedia at times dark, disturbing and cruel and the process of all processes. --ShabiDOO 21:02, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Right, hate to butt in here, but Spike's right - there is no cause for giving users grief for honest inquiry. The fellow was polite and presented a reasonable question. Your apparent disgust for VFD and the deletion of articles, aside, you did say you would work on it, and it has been over a month without even a minor edit to your name. Different people do have different standards of quality and different means of trying to satisfy those, of course, but that's another matter.

That said, his later insistence on the voting page that you stay out of the vote is completely uncalled for - you have not lost the right to vote given the merits you see in the article, merely the leverage you had on other voters before with the work you indicated an intention to put into it. So... yeah. By all means, vote if you still like it. Just remember to sign it, please. *shifty eyes* 1234 ~ 22:58, 13 March 2011

Valid point. When I wrote, "Shabidoo, please, no excuses, no vote," it didn't mean he has no vote; it means he ought not to try to keep this article alive in mainspace with further promises. Spıke ¬ 23:52 13-Mar-11

Well then yes. While I didnt find the tone of the original message simply a friendly enquiry if two other people see it differently then I reacted badly and my apologies Coronium. That being said, Spike, this is not my day job nor a competition and if it takes me more than a month to do it then so be it. Giving me some very arbitrary deadline (ie a month) turns this whole "process" into something that feels like work rather than enjoying my free time. Lets not dictate deadlines and put pressure on anyone to do things because of how one feels the site should be run. Otherwise this feels like labour. If you dont want it on the mainspace, as I said, put it on my userspace, I really dont care. --ShabiDOO 19:14, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

I just realised now that this was put on VFD. My god. And before any kind of conversation could have been had about it. I don't get it. I don't know whats worse, people who take pleasure out of trashing and shit talking and ridiculing other peoples creations on VFD or people who would resend an article for deletion because it wasn't worked on in the time slot someone unilaterally expects before there could be any conversation about it. --ShabiDOO 00:58, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Greetings.

It has come to my attention that you have recently voted for one or more of my articles on VFH. I don't recall what they were, and I don't know if the records are entirely accurate, so if you have received this message in error, you have my sincerest apologies.

Otherwise, thank you for your support in my quest to pretend that I am capable of writing. It is most appreciated.

Thank you for the thing, and yes, it would be nice to put up the pee review to 50. I've worked on the page taking into account your nice pee review, and hopefully it's getting into pretty good shape. Thanks again for starting up and running the competition, and because of your actions it should now become a regular thing here at Uncy. The second time is the charm! Aleister 22:07 14-3-'11

Abe

All unpleasantness aside, the vote was pretty clear, and the article is now here, where you may work on it at your leisure and hopefully without any more trouble from the populace (they'd better not; it's your userspace, for crying out loud).

Mind, the month timeslot isn't completely arbitrary - that's the established time folks are required to wait before renominating articles, both for featuring and deletion, from what I understand. When one 'saves' something from VFD, it can still go back in a month - if it's still bad, it would get deleted anyhow. People don't usually do that, but that you hadn't even edited it... hells, it wasn't even on your watchlist, or you would have noticed sooner that it was on VFD... people start to wonder if you even intend to do anything, regardless of what you may say. Or to get annoyed and say delete anyway. That kind of thing. 1234 ~ 01:40, 15 March 2011

Lyrithya, its fine that its on my userspace. I dont mind that its there now, and even that it was nominated by someone, and my reaction to C wasn´t constructive and I should have said something else. I just wish Spike had have listened to me instead of nominating it and given conversation and consensus a go before rushing it back to VFD! Thanks for putting it on my user space. Lets see if I can actually make something out of it!!! --ShabiDOO 01:44, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Er... Sorry to butt in here, but conversation and consensus is exactly what VFD is... -- 01:53, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

When did you last see a conversation of VDF? When did you last see consensus? Its a vote with winner take all. Lets nominate my user talk page for VDF! OLÉ. --ShabiDOO 01:58, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Also, now that it is in your userspace, I am totally uninterested in how fast you get around to it, and will eagerly help you the next time you bring a new idea to UnNews. I simply didn't like how you treated Coronium or your promise to the VFD voters. That is all. Spıke ¬ 01:59 15-Mar-11

What's VDF?... -- 02:03, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Its VFD. I broke no promise! And yes, I should have responded to Coronium differently. I broke no promise! --ShabiDOO 02:06, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah Shabber. It's just as well we got that article deleted, or the very future of Uncyclopedia could have been put in peril. The important process that Coronium and Spike felt compelled to instigate has avoided this disaster. mAttlobster. (hello) 19:14, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hahaha. LOL Matt lobster. Well, in reality, I over reacted on the original message. Coronuim was just asking me something and I responded with a "zheeeesh whatever" kind of additude instead of a "just give me a few more weeks". After that, except for Lyrithya's diplomacy, we ALL could have dealt with EACH step VERY differently. I think its best I never go near VFD again (for many many reasons) and maybe there are some lessons learned. Maybe not. Perhaps maybe or maybe ofcourse. Lets write an article about it for the 1 hour competition on Thursday :) --ShabiDOO 21:08, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

The problem with VFD is all the people there who want stuff deleted and think that's the only way to get things deleted... silly things. Silly, silly things. 1234 ~ 07:06, 16 March 2011

But seriously, apparently your reviews have been of a sufficiently high quality that I am now here, right now, asking you if you would like to officially join PEEING. I have absolutely no idea what benefits this would have, but there must be something... right?

Either way, do keep it up. 1234 ~ 19:27, 16 March 2011

Hey

Just a random thought, the Happy Monkey comp is posted in winter and summer, what about the other side of the world? Gen. Fudgem0bile Wants to play Planeshift. 00:09, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia is a strict Northern Hemisphere-centric website and does not acknowledge the grievences in any way of Southern Hemispherists. Just as I get grief for using the superior spelling of the English language, the 1.5 users in the under half of the world will have to deal with it quietly. If any Australians, South Africans, New Zealanders, Sri Lankans, Falkland Islanders, Christmas Islanders etc... want a Winter Competition, Ill organise it. Though Im not sure how we can run, judge and give points to 1.5 users. Any suggestions!?!?!?! ;) --ShabiDOO 00:55, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

How about we do it every 3 or 4 months instead of in seasons? Gen. Fudgem0bile Wants to play Planeshift. 01:00, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Mmm, if we pander to anyone connected to their cultural traditions we will fail. If we go on a tri monthly basis, then, what about muslims who use a lunar calendar and how they may feel being so Gregorianists towards them? Do we want a holly jehad just becasue of happy moneky? Where do we end up. And...sigh...if we go by a random basis, what happens with Anglo-Saxons who like to plan things. And if we are extra rigid, what happens to lazy mexicans who don't seem to commit, even when they are actually doing things. Hmm. A dilemma indeed. If we plan it by the orbit of the earth around the sun, well, that would be pretty Astro-centric to say the least, and Martians observing us (probably the most entertaining show in the galaxy) would find our schedule stressful as well. Hmm. What to do?

Well in any case, see you guys at the Spring edition in a few months :) :) :) --ShabiDOO 20:23, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe twice a year would be good. The first one was in August, this one in March. maybe another late August or early September run. Twice a year isn't asking too much for a contest that has a brief history of bringing out some very good pages. Aleister 3:15 18-3-'11

You really only think it should be twice a year and not seasonal!? Any reason why in particular!? --ShabiDOO 08:09, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the review

Wow, thanks. I didn't expect another review, just an update of the score on your first one. I tried using your first review in the post-contest editing, and will take all of your good advice to heart. Probably won't change the pics though, I like every one of them, and they fit with what I was trying to get at. Yet all the other things you said make perfect sense. Thanks again!

Imperial Colonization is Watching You

It has come to our attention that you have made edits to the current Imperial Colonization article Dinosaur without being a member of IC. Were you aware that last year alone 27 people were made to walk the plank for doing just that?

But you don't have to try to swim frantically away from the sharks--or run from T Rexes--just yet. You can go to IC, check the rules and guidelines, and apply. Otherwise, it could get pretty nasty. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. User:Why do I need to provide this?/sig10 07:51, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Mmm, i see. I dont think im going to join, nothing personal...I just saw that you were colaborating and wanted to help, but Im not sure I wanna get into that. So Ill stay away from your articles then :). Thanks --ShabiDOO 07:55, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

It's nothing personal. It's just that in the past IC got invaded by random editors and IPs and it led to constant reverting in what was supposed to be a cooperative group project. Back in the day when I was actually in charge of IC (I haven't been for nearly a year), I used to put notes like the above on the pages of users who made helpful edits (as you did) to encourage them to join. Now that I'm not head, I don't know what I'm doing here and don't know I'm talking about. User:Why do I need to provide this?/sig10 08:02, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, really, i dont take it personal. I like your initiative a lot (i read the page and what not) and dont mind that you want to keep the page for your project. Neither do I wanna join though, so hope you make use out of the image, and if not, and if you ditch the Vietnamese one, I will gladly do something constructive with it :) --ShabiDOO 08:07, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

READ!!!!: Really Big Tree --ShabiDOO 05:33, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the review.

Found it a bit hard to follow at times but you raise some good points. Just to retort to a few points you made; the idea about it being written in old-fashioned style speech but referencing modern-day stuff is supposed to be a joke (a weird one, I'll give you that, but a joke nonetheless). Perhaps this isn't very effective? Also, I don't know if you noticed this but the whole article is based on HG Wells' classic SF novel The War of the Worlds, as well as the various film adaptations and Jeff Wayne's marvellous musical version. Obviously it's not your fault if you don't know the subject matter, but I thought it was a pretty famous story to be honest. I wonder if there's a way I can make it clearer? Again, thanks for taking the time to review. --Black Flamingo 23:53, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, youll have to forgive the way I write, my grammar and english. I use uncyclopedia to keep my English going well. I think I mentionted the war of the worlds part as possibly what it was based on and the reference to it at the end. I saw the horrible Tom Cruise movie. But it was only a guess because of the last section. I hope you found the review useful. You wont offend me at all if you ask another user to give another opinion. Seriously!!! :) --ShabiDOO 00:00, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Ah are you one of those foreign types? I never even realised. I've heard about people like you. I didn't notice the reference to War of the Worlds in the review myself but then I probably got distracted near the end or something. I'll give it a thorough read over the weekend probably. Thanks. --Black Flamingo 17:19, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I am one of those "others". A "other" person. But, I think my command of the English language is while irregular, better than maybe a few other "others" who have joined recently. I dont know. Didnt you notice by my awkward way to say things sometimes? Hahaha. I know that I made some notes on a gmail (to be able to type) and then transfered some of it to the pee review but maybe I didnt get the war of world stuff. It was clear that there was war of the worlds in fluence in the whole junky food at the end, but it wasnt so clear before to me. But then, I never read the book, I only saw the bad tom cruise movie. If anything, I find your article like the stuff that lyrithya writes :) --ShabiDOO 18:18, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah it reminds me of Lyrithya too actually. If no one likes it I might try to pass it off as one of her's. --Black Flamingo 20:24, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Redirects

I replied with an explanation on Zombiebaron's talk page, which he endorsed, but you might not have seen it.

When you give a page a new name, the old name turns into a redirect, so anyone typing the old name gets sent to the page they wanted. Deleting the redirect makes the old name no longer work. Add a line to the day's listing in UN:QVFD of the form:

{{Redirect|old name}}

This calls it to the attention of an admin. As that admin is doing a dozen at a time, it's more efficient than bugging an admin directly.

You must find anywhere that used the old name and change them to the new name, otherwise they will become double-hops (or, when the redirect is deleted, they will become red-links). Spıke ¬ 12:34 13-Apr-11 orig. 12:55 12-Apr-11

UnReviews

UnReviews:Canadian election Compelling? Just a thought, I have been writing some UnReviews and saw your note about keeping your personal POV in the article and thought UnReviews. This has been an uncompensated endorsement of UnReviews Inc, and no reviews were harmed in the making of this message--K evilLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 06:56, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Do you mean i should write it as an UnReview? Can I review an election!?!?! --ShabiDOO 07:09, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

I reviewed milk. I think its pretty safe to do what you think is funny. A review is commentary. Aren't you reviewing the behavior of the candidates maybe the voters. I know it is late, and I am Captain Outside the Box, sometimes. I was brainstorming for you , when you said you were wondering where it fits. Don't put too much weight on what I say, because I tend to "wing it" a lot. --K evilLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 07:16, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Okay okay, I see. Well, with this, Im trying to get something about this Canadian election, that no one outside of Canada really cares about, to read about it just once (even though all it does is make fun of the election and of Canadians and to a small extent about how Americans dont care about the election as I doubt that its made it into even a newspaper there). Im not sure it would be read in the review section. Its a little dilema though ... UnNews or Mainspace. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. --ShabiDOO 08:17, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

a couple thoughts. Your issue with the apparent lack of interest by Americans on the Canadian election ,say be more a function of the key differences of parliamentary style governments and our rigid election cycle presidential system. Parliamentary elections are almost always "called" with relatively little notice. But of course your idea that Americans know or car about nothing outside of their own little self indulgent sphere is well deserved. But a bigger indictment on American's lack of interest of knowledge in Canada is not being able to pick out Ontario on a Canadian Map. Name - even 5 provinces. List how many provinces exist.

Regarding getting people to read your article. We really do not have that kind of power, LOL. Sure having a news story "above the fold" garners readership, but in the world of click through, even if you forced a pop up with an article, if Nobody cares the x it not click it. If you want people to read it - tweet it face book it, promote it socially outside the site. Draw new readers to uncyclopedia. But trying to choose where it will get the most eyeballs based on real estate alone, is kind of passive. Somehow, my twitter has a lot of clicky followers, - when it is up and ready, I will tweet it for you, just because. I am an american, but am from a border state.--K evilLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 09:17, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the two replies. First, lets make a big big giant distinction between what spike guessed earlier "stupid" or even what you said "self indulgent" with what I said and meant all along which is "not getting them" which are two different things. I am surrounded by four countries of which I know a bit about two, a tad about one and next to nothing about the other except their wine is cheap and there are lots of times I have no clue what on earth they are all about. Europeans spend an incredible amount of time making fun of each other and themselves and pretending that eating each others food once in a while and having a ryanair weekend is a deep cultural exchange.

As for exposure, with the UnNews (and it is news im writing) you get a bit of readership, but with a mainspace, Ill just get people that I facebook and anyone else who seems particularly interested through talk pages. Niether do I care if a TON of people read it but it would be nice if it is read ;) I do still want to stick with the double theme though. Hmmmm!!! ;)

UNBOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--ShabiDOO 10:09, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

If Spike's edit is acceptable to you, let it go into UnNews, continue working on your UnBook, when it is complete, - wiki link, somehow. Then I can UnReview your UnBook LOL--K evilLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 15:59, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Call me selfish, but I actually really like this baby and I'd be really happy to get it out in the form I concieved. Spike was right about several things and Ill bring that to the UnBook but gotta stay true wit da spirit of da shiiiiit! Ya know what Im diggin at biatch!? --ShabiDOO 16:07, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

It is not selfish to want to be able to create your vision. His vision of UnNews is very clear in his head. Not everyone agrees, but for the most part, people do not engage is senseless revert wars. Spike did a wonderful job clarifying my PC Zombie story. I either over explain or under explain - over in real life, under in written. As for a newsy version of the story, right up until about a week before the election is still a great time for it to exist. I actually do not care about Canadian politics in the least. My running joke with Canada is its a secret state of the US. but for their own feelings we let them play "country", not unlike the USSR and Ukraine during the cold war, both having seats in the UN. You should read sometimes the Canadian humor I have put on Lollipop's talk pages. --K evilLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 16:35, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

I will check it out. It is a really helarious place, and when Canadians are drunk they are off the wall awsome to hang out with. But when the politicians debate (especially in French) it is amazing how they can make their near identical platforms seem radically and emotionally different. I love how they identify with a doughnut chain store as a cultural logo/spirit and how English speakers screetch how much Quebec is an essential part of Canada but cant count to five in French. ;) What a fun place to hang out in...when its summer time :) --ShabiDOO 17:03, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

There was a digital hair pulling between two Canadians, and I jumped in, and started saying things like "for the Love of Tim Horton's Coffee" and stuff. There is a show on VBS How I Met Your Mother that has a Canadian character, and as a result a lot of humor in that department. --K evilLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 17:10, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

There are two American sitcoms I watch regularly and that is one of them. I laugh my ass off when she was "afraid of the dark" hahaha. The most absurd thing about Americans making fun of Canadians, is that, NONE of the jokes ever make any sense. Like, being afraid of the dark, or South Parks whole beady eyes and flapping heads and farting all the time, or on Friends where Joey didnt want Rachel to date someone cause he was Canadian etc... I love how you can just make up any strange thing and then lightly insult Canadians as being that. It would be like me saying "My god...Bermuda, what an Island, crazy how they drive on the left in the morning and on the right at night time, whats up with them" or "Mongolians are so crazy, they eat brown beans out of bottles and drink spring water out of Cans".

Ehm...thanks for the post. Sorry, but i really dont get what you are trying to say :) --ShabiDOO 00:46, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry, I just meant to say you handled the "Don't be a dick by also being a dick" topic well. Not always easy. --K evilLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 00:54, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Okay...thanks a lot. Its hard to know when someones being ironical or not :) I like people giving out awards. I just took a look at all the awards you gave out and they are really awsome! You are a lot like Aleister that way! Olé for awards!!!!!!!! --ShabiDOO 00:56, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

You are both fiends! I really loved both. what an akward situation, now i have to sort of choose no? it would be best to stick with lolipops, not that i didnt love yours magic man, but I just dont want to start an edit war. Magic man, it was a beautiful combination "obtuse gold with burgundy vert" ... is there possibly a more guile combination! You are gods gift to the colour blind! And lolipop, two shades of green? My god, you are more subtle than a butterfly on a water lily! And all of this just before i went to sleep. I would dream about you two, but im not predisposed to a dream remotely like that, so ill dream about Stupid Cats and Cool beans. Good night rock stars! --ShabiDOO 02:20, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Keep in mind

You weren't blocked for having an opinion. I'm all about opinions. Opinions are awesome. However you don't have to be a dick to express said opinions, which you were. Opinions don't get you banned. Dickery gets you banned. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 04:19 May 03, 2011

Nah, once you confirmed that, thats the way it is, I tried to treat it with humour (i.e. talking about lolipop having triple votes). It was humour, not dickery. It was ironic, not being mean. It was absurdity. You call expressing a view as bitching. So be it. Ill keep my mouth shut from now on. --ShabiDOO 04:23, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, what's happening here is a simple misinterpretation - your actions on VFS suggested an air of sarcasm and mockery far more than actual humor. That's the problem with humor sometimes - it can fly over the heads of even the finest humorsmiths who swear they could smell a joke ten miles away. As it were, I interpreted your statement not as a light-hearted jab, but as out-and-out mockery of the very person who was trying to answer your questions (e.g. me). Hence, you got banned.

There's an inherent contradiction in what you just said, as well: you pointed out that what got you banned was not "being mean", but rather "[being] ironic", that is to say, not serious. But then you said "[I] call expressing a view as [sic] bitching," which implies that what we are contested over is not your joke but rather your point of view. Let me clarify: this is never the case. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter what it is.

So I'll clarify again - the reason you were banned was because I thought you were being a dick to someone (in this case, me, but if you responded to another user in a fashion I strongly felt was mockery, you would have received a 24 hour ban regardless), not and never because you were expressing an opinion. I apologize if what you said was sincerely a joke and not meant as an insult to someone. Jokes are cool. I just perceived it as something said in bad faith. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 04:34 May 03, 2011

There was NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTHING about what i was typing that had anything to do about you. Noooooooooooothing at all. I honestly think the most helarious thing that could happen to this place would be to make Mimo and Maxus and Lolipop admins ;)

That being said, im having way too many unpleasant run-ins with higher lever users, and its not what I want. Just as I bowed out of the VFD cause it created conflict, i think its best to bow out of the politics of this site ... and it should make things a lot more pleasant for everyone. There are no hard feelings and I hope you believe me when there was no dickery intended. --ShabiDOO 04:40, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I for one am glad this got clarified :) sorry about that. But yes, the politics of the site are rather... involved. I've quote-unquote "left" the site on at least two separate occasions just from the high levels of drama. If you want to bow out of it that's your choice. However, if the other conflicts on the site were also caused by someone not getting a joke you said, maybe you should work to make your jokes a bit clearer? Just a thought. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 04:44 May 03, 2011

Hello there, my friend!

How are you? Can I tell you something? I have an article on VFH, and it only needs one more vote to be at ten. So I was thinking, if you find the time, maybe you could give my article a read through? Then, if you like it (but only if you like it) you could maybe vote for it? Thanks. -- 19:42, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Mr Magic man, my long lost old buddy. I remember having read it,I like it, but I thought it was a little ugly (sorry). There are two pictures cluttered at the top and there are no links (I dont know why but I always think that photos should not clutter at the top but be dispersed around and there should always be atleast a link a paragraph). Im not trying to blackmail you hahaha, but Ill hapily vote for it if its UnUglified :)

That being said, i dont know if the UnImages thing I proposed is going to take off or not, but we will see if we can get people into it. This is the link for the template on wikicommons Any ideas how we can make fun of this template? Ive searched for a helarious but non tacky image to represent it, but I havent found anything yet. --ShabiDOO 20:22, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I'll see what I can do about the "ugliness". And I'll look for a pic. -- 20:41, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

I unuglified it. How's it look? -- 15:34, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. Just wanted to say thanks for the great pee review. It was very helpful and I acted upon your constructive criticism. Thanks again!--Username18 KUN FP 23:01, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Reviews, dude

While your reviews usually tend to be fairly good, advice and content wise, the presentation and readability can be a completely different story at times. I have to ask, could you please try to be clearer in what you're actually saying, and possibly use a spellchecker, for that matter? Sometimes it seems like you're saying something brilliant, but then your sentences get rather glarbled, or have no context, and I at least have no idea what you're even trying to say; and if I don't, checking the blasted things, there's a decent chance the folks who requested the reviews may not be able to, either. Perhaps if you would slow down when writing them, or read over what you wrote before hitting the save button, that would help? Something to consider.

That said, I'd also just like to point out that lists and paragraphing are a prose/formatting thing, and that section also includes the overall layout of the piece, code and links, as well as the syntax/diction/fluency... so it seems a little odd when you mark down the humour section for use of lists when saying that they're quite funny, it's just the presentation, and then say the prose is just fine. The main idea of the article itself, meanwhile, is a concept thing; that section isn't so much about ideas in the article, but the idea of the article, usually. Not that you have to use it like that, but if you think about it that way. it might help your organisation, or give you more to talk about...

Also, another thing, as you did in one of those reviews today or yesterday or something... please don't just say next paragraph, next paragraph; that gets really hard to follow which is which. Just talk about the subjects and the things themselves more, and in terms of those things, 'the part about whatever would be better if whatever', or some such. You do that in other ones, at least, and that tends to work a lot better. 1234 ~ 03:37, 5 May 2011

Noted. Thanks Lyrith. In my defense, next paragraph stuff on the Palin article, i make no apologies, there were 25 paragraphs or so of two sentences each so, i wasnt going to sum it up or i basically would have repeated the entire article. But in any case, you are right about the prose part, spelling checks and what not. Im probably not going to change the way i talk about the concept...but I will definately put some meta thought into how i separate humour and prose. Thanks again Lyrith. --ShabiDOO 03:49, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

But that's just it! 25 paragraphs, there's no way to keep track of which is which. It'd work just fine with, say, three, you know? Eeeh... okay, fine, it was a rather not good article for that in general, but...

Anyhow, thanks. That's really all I can ask. 1234 ~ 04:13, 5 May 2011

Lyrith, i have the full gist of what you are saying. Trust me when i have taken full consideration of what you have said, and I appreciate your post, "I promise". As a reward, i re-wrote some of the review for lurg. Im extra tired. Niiiiiiiiiight! --ShabiDOO 04:17, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry so much about the Lurg one; it was legible and whatnot, and article's not really the sort of thing that merits saying much over, anyhow. Not that I'm not grateful regardless, but it was an earlier one that was more problematic. Just do better in the future, eh? Thanks again. 1234 ~ 17:45, 5 May 2011

Hey...you just caught me signing on and in the middle of starting a new review (this month is a quiet month and im itching to reeeeeview). Well, lryithya, I really do hope you work on the lurg. If you dont, I will. I also redid the complicated one, after rereading it, I saw how watery it was and tried to make it tighter. In any case, I love you/love you not completely. Which is perfect for taking over the world. One fortnight at a time. Lurg. --ShabiDOO 17:50, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Review view

Thank you thank you thank you. For your review of Britainy Spear. It gave me my biggest laughs of the month, over and over, I'm almost exhausted from laughing. You made me realize what a fun article it is, because it has nothing to do with Britany Spears, just a close resemblance to her name. I'll tell you where it all came from, since you worked so wonderfully and helpfully on it. The page was inspired by two things, first of all Hyperbole was in the midst of working up his article on Britany Spears and was doing something (huffing, changing the name of, I forget) to an article with a similar name, and commenting on it in the summary section. So as a joke I found the first pic, and based the entire story on the largest bird known to man that's also a predator of man. The first part was written rather quickly, just to play with Hyperbole, and when it went up he looked at it and instead of huffing it, complimented it and user paged it, and I agreed, it was starting to shape up into something interesting. So I just continued. The second photo is also not random, but is a good excuse to use a photo of a hot animal, and a girl too. Your review, reading Britany Spears into the page and seeing where things would fit her, made me laugh and laugh, because if you did that then other readers are going to do it too. So, having nothing to do with the singer, but all about the large bird, it serves its purpose. Your comments about where the page slows down are very good, and I'll work on those. And other stuff. Thanks very much for all your hard work, you are a good reviewer and I appreciate this one more than most because of the jokes involved. Jeez. this is a long comment, almost as long as a Britainy Spear's tail feather! Aleister' 2:39 Sixto de Mayo '11

Hey ali ali ali. I seemed to have thought it was an original article. Well, there are two things you can do. First, after having written Democracy is not permanent tonight, i seem to be very vulgar tonight and ignore the explicatives. So...it was a pleasure to spend all that time doing the pee review, first, cause i like doing it, second cause i like helping out a groovy user and third cause ali ali ali is coool. so, instead of saying thanks, why dont you just make it the best fucking article you have ever written!? Do that by making that article clear to the random reader and infusing that humour I know you are great at!!! HUH!?!?!?!?!!!?!??!?!!?!?!?! Inside jokes are great. Inside jokes that invert to jokes everyone can understand are genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second, you can say thanks by being the first user other than I or Zombie to actually nominate a picture on the UnImage of the Year thing ;) ;) ;). Would be a nice trend to start. A distraction from the entertaining drama of the last few days no?

Third...WHEN ARE WE GOING TO COLAAAAAAAAAAAAAABORATE?!?!!??! ;) ;) ;) --ShabiDOO 02:54, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

I'm all for the collab thing. And I was going to nominate a pic, that one of the necrophilalac duck that I thing Songje did, but haven't looked for it yet. Best I've written? Hard for me to do, I consider The Old Man and LV my epic here. And B. Spear is pretty much what it is it is, although you've inspired me to add to it and I will dream on it tonight. Will also read your Democracy page, thanks for the pointy, but will sign off here for the day soon. I'll go look for that Songje pic, and if I don't find it will try again tomorrow. Do you know the one I mean? Al 3:00 Sixto de Mayo

p.s. Found it, over on the right there. It's Meep Streep Lives. Now how would I nom it? But not tonight.

Hey, you dont have to actually read that article, democracy. Its something I put together tonight to try to do a lyrithya/aleister style article about stuff thats kind of stuffing around you know? Probably you dont know. Anyhoo...Ill nominate that pic for you. If you do ever check out an article, check out Stupid Cats whenever you have a chance. I really really need some input about it :) GOOD NIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHT! --ShabiDOO 03:26, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Jack Layton

First visit to your talk page Shabidoo, I hope you're doing good! I saw your comment on Layton on Lollipop/ChupaChups/multiple personality disorder page and an UNnews about him would be great! Did you know Quebecers elected a NDP deputee who doesn't speak a damn French word, who never went to "her" county in her life, who didn't campaign and in fact spent the campaign in Las Vegas? There are 4 or 5 stories like this here! People are now waking up to the scum they did elect and I am LOLing hard. Looking forward to your articles and flame wars. Mattsnow 07:04, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Hahaha, Jack oh Jack and that mustache. Look, I dont live in Canada, so I dont really know small details. All I can say is, every party there has lots of scandals and does lots of stupid things, but only one or two of them ever admit that or appologise. I watched the election coverage cause it was so funny and dramatic this year. What seems the most shocking to me is how a party can get a majority of seats with 40% of the vote. This is the most incredible thing, and if I was living there, it would give me the shivers, that the house can simply do whatever they want, even though 1.5 times more people voted strictly against it. SHIVERS! That being said, I don´t think its really a big deal, those parties really are not that different no matter what they say. And I don't plan on visiting cbc.ca any more, as its time consuming, I dont live there, and outside of the elections, Canadian politics are suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper boring. Why don't you go teach the new MP french!?!?! :) --ShabiDOO 17:33, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Please refer to me as Lollipop. I think it may be time to make a new signature. --(talk) 17:37, 7 May 2011

OK, Lollipop it will be lol. Well I think it is better to have more than 2 parties like in the States. As you say though, they are all the same: all of them won't talk about the war, which is costing billions and lives, and they will talk about saving 2 millions here and spending 4 there. Also, that MP is on the papers everyday and the party say she'll be able to coduct a French interview "in 6 or 8 months" lol. In a county 95% of the population sucks at English! I understand you live in England. Are they planning to withdraw from Iraq anytime soon? Popping out! Mattsnow 12:27, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

What made you think I live in England!? I did live there a decade ago...was fun. Rainy. Honestly, British politics are even far more dramatic during the elections and even more cosmically boring outside of the elections. I really know nothing about thats going on there except the failed electoral reform referendum (which is interesting to me).

As for that girl, what I do know about Francaphone politics is that so much of it is social and conceptual and about attending cocktail functions, I cannot imagine that girl not speaking solid french within a couple months (especially if she gets a boyfriend from there). As for spending billions of dollars, pfff...thats pocket change. Man, you call that a budget? Pff...we should be talking about trillions!!! TRIIIIIIIIIILIONS OF DOLLARS!!! Lets spend trillions of dollars and build an olympic stadium in every town :) WOOHOOO!!!! Lets spend a trillion dollars on poutine factories!!! WOOHOOO!!! LETS SPEND A QUADRILLION DOLLARS ON 25.000 new tim hortons shops :) --ShabiDOO 12:36, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Yikes. I thought the non-capitalization and some of the mistakes were there on porpise, to signify the mindset of a stupid cat. When you started out all the stupid cat sentences with a lower case it seemed to be the cat's real name (lower case "stupid cat"). So I thought the page was well-written from that viewpoint. But now, with a pee review at some point, and comments from other people, the page will probably come together as you envisioned it. stupid aleister now climbing out the window. aleister 11:44 9-5-'11
