Pebble

I see you have started an article about Pebbles. I highly enjoyed this article, unfortunately it's too short to be in the mainspace so I'm going to move it to your userspace where you can work on it (although I somewhat doubt we will see you again) until it's ready to be released into the outside world. The article can now be found here http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/User:Some_guy/Pebble

Have fun writing! - B@NZai k!tten (Meow?)B 15:21, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

UnNews

Hi, I'm Kip, Czar of UnNews. I moved your latest report to User:Some guy/Trees not making oxygen anymore because it's undercooked. If you want some help with it, all you have to do is ask. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 18:57, Dec. 2, 2014

Article writing and stuff

Hi, the articles you are currently writing need more substance to them (more words, better formatting, links, images, sections, etc). They are currently far too short for the mainspace. My suggestion to you is to click This link here and read a featured article, then come back to this page and click it again and again and read lots of featured articles. Featured content has all the things I mentioned above and where you should be striving to be. It will take you a bit of practice to get this stuff perfect, but I encourage you to follow my advice to improve the quality of your articles, because right now they are way too under developed for the mainspace. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 02:51, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

What Frosty said. -RAHB 02:54, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Articles

You need to stop putting such short and unfinished articles in the mainspace. I've moved your My breakfast article into your userspace. You can find it here. If you keep putting shit in the mainspace you will get a short sharp visit from the smack fairy a.k.a. I will ban you. I'd rather not ban you. I'd rather you do what Frostee says and maybe drop into the chatroom at some point so we can talk about what's going wrong. - B@NZai k!tten (Meow?)B 15:09, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Userspace and stuff.

Your writing is pretty good. Now just start things in userspace like User:Some guy/my page! or use a construction tag. --Nikau (talk) 15:51, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello!

Thank you for your contributions! Adopt-a-noob program isn't really dead, but it needs updating because some of the people there are just not active anymore. I'll proceed to updating it immediately and sorry for your confusion. But there are many active users who'll be willing to adopt you, myself included, so you are free to retry! Enjoy Uncyclopeding, Anton (talk) 19:37, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes, the page should be fine now. Anton (talk) 19:44, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

First things first

I'd read the site's writing guide about writing jokes. I liked the My breakfast page more, pebble was good but name dropping ISIS and Obama isn't so funny unless you're writing about ISIS or Obama. You can vote for funny articles here. --Nikau (talk) 01:55, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

UnDebate

This is very promising, but a tad too short! This topic is so large, you can write books about it, so it's a pity you limited the debate to several phrases. Of course, there are many short humour articles that can be very funny (check A lack of inspiration), for instance - it works very well, as for me., but those need extreme care and polishing because a single word can ruin them.

So my advice is to do some research on the subject, because even if you might know a lot about what you're writing, official and serious sources can give you a lot of ideas about how to make fun of those. And, next, you can try constructing actual arguments, as if you were actually debating on that topic and turning them inside out (just an idea). What I can propose to you is making fun of the topic of the debate itself, which gives a lot of ground for comedy. I don't about you, but I just find it ridiculous.

By the way, concerning short articles, I liked the idea and the style behind your breakfast one and that piece works very well in its short form, even if it was userspaced by an admin. Good luck and let the music of your muse's luth inspire you in writing! Anton (talk) 21:54, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
