User talk:Surfingerman

Welcome, initiate, to Uncyclopedia!

Father Why do I need to provide this? welcomes you to the wondrous world of Uncyclopedia!

Somebody has awarded you a cookie! Now go play in traffic.

Greetings, Initiate Surfingerman, and welcome to the Temple of Uncyclopedia! (If you aren't yet ready to accept Sophia as your Holy Potato, see your alternate secular welcome).

Thank you for your current and future contributions, assuming, of course, you aren't possessed with the spirit of a vandal. I pray that you have a long, happy and productive life here. But if you really want to leave, you can pass through the door that says "Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here." But I wouldn't recommend it.

BEGINNING YOUR NEW LIFE

This series consists of six lessons designed to Uncyclopedically guide you, the new believer, to living the life that would be pleasing to Sophia. These lessons will show that Sophia has given the new Uncyclopedian specific instructions as to how to live the very best life here possible, which means avoiding getting ceremoniously fried in boiling oil. (We don't really do that. Honest. Would I lie?)

• Beginner's Guide
• Our Vanity Policies - why we sadly do not accept articles about your friends
• How to be funny and not just stupid

If you read anything at all, make it the above three links. And please read a few featured articles so you can see what's considered the best here (make sure you find the featured version). If you want to find out more about Uncyclopedia or need more help with something, try these:

• About Uncyclopedia and The five pliers of Uncyclopedia
• How to get started editing on uncyclopedia
• Help Pages - if you need help with a specific issue

I hope you enjoy editing here and being an Uncyclopedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button () above the edit box. This will automatically produce your name and the date.

At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your Sophiacal creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:Surfingerman/Article about stuff) so you can edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold, cruel world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done put the "Work-In-Progress" template - {{construction}} - on the top of it.

If you want to write and don't know where to begin, you might browse our rewrite and idea categories. We have lots of articles just sitting around for someone to improve, so don't be afraid of the unknown depths - dive right in!

Plus you can find suggestions for lots of fun and fulfilling things to do in community service.

If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Additionally, the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced editors straight to you. I was an adopted noob, and it kept me out of trouble. Well, some of the time. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to apply to be adopted. Again, welcome!   Father WHY??? (confessions)  22:04, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Hey

you, asshole, stop messing with my article while it is still currently under Pee Review. Thanks Skinfan13 06:05, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Um, not exactly the nicest welcome to a noob on record. Surfingerman, I recommend you ignore the tone of that message; I'll post a note for Skinfan13. King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court)  05:47, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hey part II

I would like to apologize for my tone above, I'm just a little protective of my work. humor is all a matter of opinion. In light of that, however, instead of just going back and forth with the edit and undo stuff, put your ideas in the discussion section. I don't particularly like your additions to be honest, so I'll ask nicely that you either try something different or just leave it alone. It's still up for peer review also, the page is here. If you want, you can review the article instead of just vandalizing it and I'll take your ideas into account. In fact, I'll go ahead and make a review page just for you, just click here. If you're not willing to do that, please respect the fact that I don't want your additions, and I will keep putting it back to the way it was. I let people edit my articles, and I usually like them (such as with Dethklok), but if I don't I get rid of them. I wouldn't keep re-editing an article you wrote and I expect the same.

cheers
