Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum viditur

Ad perpetuam memoriam de Sol Invictus

Composure1, writer of UnNews and humble servant of Uncyclopedia, sends personal greetings to you [insert username here], on this festival for our glorious god Sol Invictus. While many heathen have long abandoned our undefeated sun god, especially since Emperor Theodosius I banned the holiday in the year 390, I know that you are a true believer like me. So I hope you are celebrating with all the necessary debauchery and sacrifices, and I wish you the very best. Orta recens quam pura nites Sol Invictus! --Composure1 18:58, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Moved page

Your page marked "Work in Progress" was moved to User:Strange but untrue/All Your Base Are Belong To Us (Literary Criticism) after 7 days with no activity. Feel free to move it back when it's ready. -- sannse (talk) 21:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... I think I pretty much had finished it (or at least made enough of a start for general release!) - just forgot to take off the construction tag. Oops! --Strange but untrue 12:42, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Well it needs links, it's an orphan at the moment and that's not good. And images are always a good idea... But it's a good article.

Did you forget Soviet Equality (Mathematics) too btw? That's come up on the list. I've done a null edit to give it 7 more days, but you will need to finish, move, or de-tag it soon. Ta. -- sannse (talk) 15:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

WIP moving

I've moved Soviet Equality (Mathematics) to User:Strange but untrue/Soviet Equality (Mathematics) where you can develop it there. This is because it has ended it's extension time on WIP. Feel free to move it back when you have done. —Braydie at 23:02, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Emmo award for your userpage

An artist's impression of what you might look like. Congrats, you self-centered snob!

I award you this prestigious... well, award, for creating an exceptional user page. While not as flashy as some, it is certainly wittier - and funnier - than most. --Medvedev ^(scream) 14:31, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Snakes on Every Plane

Yes, the image is from xkcd, which releases all its comics under the creative commons license under the condition that an email is sent to the author (which i did) and i don't see why you reverted my edits to the formatting of the spin-offs section which I'm about to do again hopefully won't have to do it a third time, as the section is a mess... can i ask what your problem is with the Every Plane image? i think it's worth putting in the article somewhere. Perhaps it was a bit hasty putting it at the top of the page the first time but the title didn't fit with the theme of spin-off images which are there already. – Preceding unsigned comment added by Pastafarian (talk • contribs)

Well, it does also request a link to xkcd, which we're not in the habit of doing. But to be honest, my main problem with it is that I don't think this one comic is particularly funny, especially in the context of this page and where we've got motherfucking sna... I mean where we've got various well-potato-chopped images already. If you're really that bothered about it, go and ask for a second opinion at the Village Dump.

Formatting-wise, the first time it ended up just as much of a bloody mess as it started out. This time, it is very much lovelier, so thanks for that. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 01:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for this negative attitude, but...

...I just couldn't resist the desire to give some kind of apology for my stupid edit at Slim Shady Algorithm (which you may recall was a problem of choosing categorization over delinking). I really did think (and preview!) before submitting, and I have no idea why I went with the clearly suboptimal choice. Please forgive me, and I hope I haven't damaged my reputation any more than it has already been damaged by my general n00bness. Thank you for your time and attention. Pentium5dot1 03:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, no, I wouldn't call that n00bness - n00bness would have been creating the link in the first place! -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 09:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Point taken, but I wasn't saying that that incident was n00bness; by "generall n00bness" I was referring to my other Uncyclopedia mishaps like this one. Thanks for the reassurance. Pentium5dot1 01:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Ho hum. Well, they do say the first step to stopping something is realising you're doing it! :) -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 01:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I know I'm kind of late here, but...that's UN:ABF? Or does my Asperger Syndrome not garner enough sympathy as an excuse to compensate for my n00bness? (Yes, I realize I'm blurring the distinction between "newbie" and "n00b" again, and I admit that I've never officially been diagnosed with A.S. Nevertheless, given all the social gaffes that I've gone through in my life, I feel that I deserve as much sympathy as UN:ABF and common sense are willing to allow.) Don't say I'm not trying to improve; it's just that Uncyc is not really one of my top priorities right now. Pentium5dot1 02:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[Please insert section title here]

this is not the ip adress for a 1 computer but for a school i think or thats wat it seems... it is the ip for a network of computers, and the only genuine articles are Hamster Armies of Evil, The Fascist Tiger Armies of Nazi Germany, Demonic Alligators Armies of Southern Florida, and the The Flying Eagle Armies of Canada. All of the others are imitations or cheap knock offs and the articles will contribute to a larger funnier article in the future. We sincerly ask that if you decide to delete the articles it will be for quality and not for the fact that they were ripped off by another ip.--165.111.2.149 22:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia Quote

“Uncyclopedia is a self-parody of Wikipedia critics”

~ Captain Obvious on Uncyclopedia

Why was it deleted? Was it too critical of Uncyclopedia for the censors to tolerate? Plus, unlike most of the potty-/sex-related attempts at humor on this site, it's actually funny. Even Jimbo Wales, if he ran Uncyclopedia instead of his parody, wouldn't delete it. SteveSims 03:31, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

The most important reason is that it undermines the rest of the article which says that Uncyclopedia is true, Wikipedia is the parody. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 09:57, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Message from Rabbi JohnTechno

hey, no worries mate. Serial blanker attack, several of us non-admins just went through a whole load of pages he'd attacked and reverted all of them. 'Twas nothing :) {{RabbiTechno 18:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)}}

Message from FuzzMaster

Thank you for reverting the Jock article. Say no to vandalism from muscle heads!

You're welcome. It's actually a lot funnier than I would have expected to find under a title like that - I hope it stays that way or gets better and doesn't give in to petty sniping (okay, a teeny bit of that has crept in in places, but we'll ignore that!).

Animal armies

Hey, we got the message about you planning to delete the animal army pages and we started and plan to keep only a few the guy typing up Baboon Mercenaries of the Amazon is just ripping the main originals off. The only ones we planned on creating were The nazi tigers(mine), The communist hamsters, alligators of southern florida((recently huffed)), flying eagles of canada((also huffed)), we did find later that there was a penguin army created before ours, but we didn't know that when we started it and any other animal armies are fakes and probably worse than the ones we planned on creating. Please get back to me on whether or not you still plan on deleting our page(and not on our school ip), I'm Joseph5626, contact me on my talk pages. P.S. fell free to delete this comment after you've read it Strange but Untrue, Thank you for your trouble)

(Replied on talk page)

Hey I'm sorry, but I didn't create hamster page,a friend did and you're the only one that doesn't like it. The reason mine is up for deletion is because people are tired of the nazi related jokes. The reason hamsters is up for deletion is because you are a deletion whore and need to get over whining about every small detail that contradicts with your prejudices. Contact me if you want to defend yourself.--Joseph5626 16:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that I looked over hamsters one more time and you were right my friend didn't do a very good job. Honestly, it wasn't funny and apparently everyone else agrees. You were right and I was wrong, all that good stuff. I apologize for being so rude in the statement above, but if you truly think the nazi tiger article is hopless or if I can still save it contact me on my User Talk. Thanks a bunch!--Joseph5626 05:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Redirect huff

If you're the one putting those redirects on QVFD, maybe you could request them straight to me? You could create User:Braydie/redirect and you can just list any pointless ones (you probably know these by now, no links to it - but remember not if it is for common misspellings etc) there. Then I'll check it, saves you from doing the whole QVFD thing and at least that will be the place where they are concentrated. What do you think? —Braydie 21:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

That would be good, thanks - I'm sure people used to get rid of redirects from QVFD, but not so much at the moment. On the other hand, the last three aren't mine... but I suppose I could keep an eye out for other people's too. Just hope you know what you've let yourself in for...! -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 23:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Heh, don't worry about it :) Pointless redirects are.. you know.. pointless. :) —Braydie 23:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

All done. The job even caused a new (and hopefully vaguely useful in other situations) template to be created. Right - now to find some redirects to annoy you with...! -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 00:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

You might want to keep an eye on this chappie, he seems to find it amusing to change your comments in VFD (the one in How to spot a transexual) so as to make them offensive, something pretty crap about 'fucking my dad sideways'.

Your attachment to "Marriage Is Awfully Gay"

Can you explain why you are so protective of the sentence "Marriage is awfully gay" in the Marriage article? What is so funny about it (that I dont get) that you keep reverting it? Is it a private joke, or what? BreakDancer 22:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

It's funny because marriage is (or at least was in ye old days) the antithesis of being gay. It was probably originally vandalism, but it's stayed because of this perhaps unintentional irony. The fact that not everyone gets it only makes it better...! Sorry, I should probably have explained this to you earlier - I just revert so much vandalism I can't tell apart the people that mean well any more! -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 22:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Relayed unban request

Hello Strange, earlier today I received a rather distrought email from User:Inaneframe who apparently has been banned on the grounds of a misunderstanding. When I looked at the edit history of the disputed article Fluxbox you are apparently the one who disapproved of the article and subsequently caused a ban to be put in place, on grounds of "not funny" and "implied goatse".

Although I clearly understand your annoyance with the goatse implication, the real logo of Fluxbox does in fact bear some resemblance to the image in the article. See http://fluxbox.org/. Futher more, Inaneframe has followed procedure and put his (or her) article up for Pee Review, in the hopes that some one would find ways of making it funnier.

Thirdly, Inaneframe is a relative new user of Uncyc, and thus not quite up to speed with the unwritten social conventions that exist here, such as "goatse is not fanny but stupid".

For these reasons I ask of you to review your reasons for banning the poor n00b and unban the username again.

Sincerely, -- di Mario 19:07, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

follow up: said user has since been unbanned through the kind attention of other admins -- di Mario 21:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Glad that's sorted. Actually, I put the ICU there after he'd been banned, following the banner's reasoning, whoever it was. It certainly can't have been me! -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 23:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Copied reply from my talk page:

Sorry, but I've re-blocked him. I'm not sure what he told you, but he actually uploaded the actual goatse image to image:hello.jpg. You'd have to be able to see his deleted contibutions and the deleted revisions to see for yourself, but you need to be an admin to see that, so you'll just have to trust me that he did. Last I checked, uploading goatse is an infinite ban offence (hell, even linking to it is usually an infinite ban), and being a new user is no excuse. It should be rather obvious that uploading shock porn to any website, not just this one, is almost certainly going to get you banned. → Spang ☃☃☃ 05:20, 26 Apr 2007

You should be ashamed of yourself blaspheming the word of god like that and insulting christ. \.|( /. He died for your sins in an(in this case presumably useless) effort tp save you. you do not deserve it but he gives it to you as a gift. if you can not accept and acknowledge that then you are very thick skulled and retarded. please god wants everyone to join in his sacred kingdom. i do not want you to burn in hell. please god still loves you no matter what you have done in your life.:D. remember god loves you. look towards salvation and you will find it. i really want the least amount possible of people will go to hell god does too. please dont be a rebellious teenager like i used to be it is bad lifesyle. praise the lord. – Preceding unsigned comment added by B0n b0ns (talk • contribs)

Hiya - I assume you're talking about Forum:Is the bible a load of crap?. Just so you know, the original post wasn't by me (check the edit summary). Mine was meant as a tongue in cheek parody of said rant, based on the "Uncyclopedia is the Worst" format that's been going around BHOP recently. I have nothing but respect for religion, although I would suggest that I'll be less likely to defend it the more religious people I get calling me a retard.

Of course, if this post was in a similarly tongue-in-cheek style to my own, then congrats, you got me! Just remember that there's a point where the best parody turns into the real thing... -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 21:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop ICU'ing Utter Crap

hi, thanks for the maintenance work and all, but can you please exercise some discretion; if an article is only a few lines (and probably crap written by an IP) then can you QVFD it rather than putting it on ICU. also, PLEASE don't WIP the article, that's for the author to do, thanks --Prof. Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 15:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure you mean me? I've never WIPed an article by someone else. I may have ICUed a bit of rubbish though - I started the day by QVFDing some one-liners so my judgement was probably a little off. Mind you, in the past, anything longer than one-screen line has usually failed to go from QVFD... kudos if you're going to change all that! -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 15:41, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Crap Articles

you seem to have a penchant for adding an ICU to crap articles that are way too short and vanity too, can you not do that because they're shite and really deserve to get a QVFD if anything... stop caring about the crappy IPs already! :P -- Prof. Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 18:06, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I wondered if you'd be back at me about this - I've been watching what I ICU after your last post. I think I see ICU differently to you; for me it's just a way to make sure an article gets noticed by somebody eventually and doesn't slip through the cracks. I err on the side of ICU because if something gets ignored on QVFD (which things still do, especially if they're borderline) it gets into the system, whereas you can't ignore ICUed articles for more than a week. At the same time, I'm definitely not saying to you guys "don't kill this before the week's up" - feel free to huff away and I'll not complain! And of course, sometimes I'll just see potential where others don't, or vice versa. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 22:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Procrastination

Okay, so we need to draw the line. We came to a compromise, but I'm still displeased with the article. Somebody else happened to come along on the talk page and suggest the older version. Now, I think the point I'd like to make is that I think the last bit on the article is way too blunt. The fact that it cuts off and is followed by a constructiom template is suggestive enough. We don't need a blunt and superfluous journal-type-thingy on the bottom suggesting that the author was too busy on several occasions to complete the article, because that joke is already present in the article by the fact that the article isn't finished, has a construction template, and now a post-it note. Furthermore, I personally don't find that bit funny at all. For example, "Thinking about doing some work on the article. OMG! Reno 911! is on! BRB." Right. We get it. The article is about procrastination and the author's inability to finish the article due to gaining interest in something else. It's not so much the fact that it's too blunt, as it is that this joke is repeated several times, as eight more posts in the author's journal summate to pretty much the exact same thing. Instead, we should just cut that entire section out, and have the article say:

"Procrastination is a form of human behavior in which an individual displays a deferment or avoidance of an action or task to a later time. Those who procrastinate may often experience OMG! Reno 911 is on! BRB."

Your thoughts? --EMC ^[TALK] 20:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Emc, we already Village Dumped it, and the whole journal thing got support. It doesn't really matter whether we individually find it funny or not - the point of Uncyc is that if it makes various people laugh (and few people cry), it's better there than not. I'm really sorry this is irritating you, but if we do what you're suggesting then in six months the article will appear on VFD and probably just get deleted. I can see Unknownfile calling it 2005cruft already... If you want an article your way, there are plenty of other words or phrases that mean similar things - I dunno what else to suggest really.  :-( -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 22:16, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Wow

You're really on top of things, minusing the QFH. In any case, it wasn't at my will that that was added. A friend asked me to do it, so I told him that it would be deleted because it was wrong.

That's cool. Although I wouldn't overestimate my on-top-of-things-ness - after I'd minused that one I went on to minus one that had actually been deserved! Turns out you were only a couple of votes short of Quasi-featured, although it was kind of a slow day for it. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 21:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Splendid. As a side note, I would suggest the archiving of your Talk Page, it's really large.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 00:08, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I know - I keep meaning to do it, and then get distracted by something shinier. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 07:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
