The "emo scene" article

Hi this is Bauhaus1... I recently decided to sign up so I could fix the gawff pages XD. I couldn't help but notice you reverted the edit I made on the "emo scene" article. I know my edit was kind of stupid and I can understand why you reverted it but why did you have to put back the goth scene description? There's alot of misconception that Goth and emo are somehow similar (Which they aren't). I mean I know my edit was kind of crappy but I mean unless you feel like taking the time to come up with something better as opposed to changing 2 band names from the goth scene article and keeping it like that. Mostly I'm just annoyed because it will give people the wrong idea. Please though I mean no hostillity or anything so don't take it the wrong way. Thanks for your time :D --Bauhaus1 20:49, 4 March 2009 (UTC)bauhaus1

My advice here would be to add the good edits again - and I'll keep it in mind that your edits are cool. I revert a fair bit everyday so I won't be right 100% of the time - i find that once you edit more you'll tend to find you'll have a lot more freedom. Hope you haven't been put off:)--Sycamore (Talk) 21:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Not at all... my actual article on the "emo scene" page was a little last minute, and again thanks for your time. --Bauhaus1 05:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)bauhaus1

UnSignpost 26th February 09

The Uncyclopedia UnSignpost

The Newspaper With No Ambitions, Goals, Hopes or Dreams!

February 26, 2009 • Issue 36 • Picking the poppy seeds of truth from the teeth of the news

Imperial Coloni(s|z)ation For Glorification of Motherwiki By Gerrycheevers Imperial Colonization made yet another triumphant return this week, after several months of languishing, inactivity, and Richard Nixon. Upon a general query from an annoying masked UnSignpost writer, another anonymous user stepped up and took control. That anonymous user is SysRq. Forums were created, ideas were exchanged, and the Cajek search party was sent out again. Only the last one was in vain, as an all-new Colonisation page was rolled out last week. Uncyclopedians wasted no time in signing up and nominating their first target: the utter garbage pile that was Al Gore. Previously containing banal tripe such as Manbearpig references, internet invention claims, lockbox bollocks, and other assorted drivel, the article is now, according to an official Colonization spokesman, "well on its way to not sucking." Future Colonisations have been lined up as well, leading this reporter to believe that this time around, Colonization is here to stay, even moreso that Manforman or the Poison Pee template. It looks as if the article on Jews is next on the Colonisation docket, since all articles relating to that topic are "utter bilge, consumed with hateful pointlessness and also secretly controlled by Jews." British Infiltration of Non-Existent Cabal Continues at VFS by UU Talking of organisations secretly controlled by Jews, the non-existent Uncyclopedia Cabal was expanded ahead of schedule to the tune of two brand new British admins at the weekend. The early opping was due to two factors, firstly, an unprecedented landslide, with two candidates polling so many votes that the final round was rendered an irrelevance, and secondly, new 'crat Mordillo being impatient to use his whizzy new powers to op the new admins before Codeine or Mhaille beat him to it. The most votes were polled by MrN9000, and your USP can't think of a more deserving recipient of a shiny new banstick. He's already thrown himself into his new role with gusto, banning, deleting, featuring and the like with gusto, and proudly declaring "I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing", thus showing he has as much grasp of the role already as any other admin. The numbers were made up by fellow limey Under user, who has been keen to get started using his whizzy new powers, but has been limited to mainly joke bans so far by MrN's astounding competence and annoying habit of doing all the work. UU was unavailable for comment (which is odd, seeing as he's writing this), but his wife had this to say: "you bastards! Do you have any idea what you've done? I'll be lucky to see him for more than about half an hour a week now!" She wasn't joking.

He makes his presence felt by fighting vandalism wherever it rears its ugly head, and generally making himself helpful around the wiki. A helpful sockpuppet? Got to be one of the signs of an impending apocalypse! Explanation of the week This week, there will be no Cajek ban of the week. This is because Manticore decided to ban him in the hope of making it into your UnSignpost, and we're not gonna give that big ol' whore the satisfaction. You hear me, Manty?

PLS Judging

Hey Sycamore, I was looking at the current list of signed-up PLS judges and it looks as though The Thinker has taken your judgifyin' spot. Are you not gonna judge? I was looking forward to judging in the same category as you, because we have very different senses of humor. Sort of making a contrast to even out the judgments, you know. Anyway, please let me know what's up, and also hi. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 16:23, Feb 26

Hi there - sadly I've pulled out from judgeing, as I really want to enter (not too what category yet). I've been going around scouting for a few extra judges and I'm sure there will be enough. I promise to judge the next one though:)--Sycamore (Talk) 19:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Shitland

regarding your rewrite tag on Shitland - the article was already rewritten and deem good enough to get it off of VFD. The idea was to make Shitland as close to Belgium as possible. That said, Belgium is the crappy article. So given that its been saved from VFD in its current format within the past three months or so, are you hoping someone will rewrite it, or are you planning on taking it back to VFD? Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 03:09, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Do I really look like a guy with a plan... seriously if I wanted something huffed I would not be tagging it for someone to improve it?--Sycamore (Talk) 08:17, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Just checking. Frankly, I'm not hurt if you want to get rid of it. But Shitland is just the symptom: The BIGGER problem, though is Belgium which is a horrible article - more red marks then a teenage boys face. Ick. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 14:32, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, its difficult for me to do much on this - I do have the suggestion facist gestapo policy that its better to have real topics rather than real subjects embedded in random topics - here we have Belgium stuff in a Shitland article. My suggestion is merging some of the good stuff from that one and trying to get the Belgium article rolling. I know some folks who might sort this out better that me. I could try to pester Gerry or Sys, but I think a womans touch will be more effective:)--Sycamore (Talk) 14:37, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Frankly, the article doesn't mean that much to me. I say lets just zap the damn thing and redirect Shitland to Belguim. My creative juices flow and fade and they tend to be ropies in the fall and winter of my discontent; by the time spring and summer roll around I'm busy with other stuff. I'm probably heading for my traditional six-month sabatical after PLS is judged. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 22:49, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

What time do you get up, damnit?!

So, I had to be up earlier than my usual time (of whenever I wake up) today so I could see the missus off and thought to myself, "Aha! Perhaps I'll get to VFD et al before anyone else does, so I can archive it and then people won't think I'm a lazy bastard!" But no.

UnSignpost 5th March 09

The Uncyclopedia UnSignpost

The Newspaper Not Secretly Controlled By Mordillo, We Swear!

March 5, 2009 • Issue 37 • The News, Smelted to 93% Purity!

New parser causes havoc by requiring Uncyclopedians to get things right by UU The latest Mediawiki update imposed on Uncyclopedia by its despotic overlords, Wikia, has had a catastrophic effect. The new parser, described by UnSignpost technical expert Gerrycheevers as "little gnomes in your browser that run between HTML tags to produce the proper effect in between" has thrown the formatting of quite literally some Uncyclopedia pages completely out of kilter. Resident tame Wikia staffer Sannse tried to explain: "bad HTML is the most likely cause of errors. But there are some other changes that might cause errors. For example, the way that some complex parser tags work has changed. The best thing to do is to look for HTML problems first (not forgetting that the errors are often in templates used on the page). Then, if you can't find it, hassle anyone you know who knows HTML and wikimarkup better than you (nah, not going to link some poor guy). Then, if you can't find it, hassle me to find help (Uberfuzzy is on standby to assist where needed). Again I'd suggest that the template author should be the person who knows how to make it work!" Most Uncyclopedians had already gone cross-eyed by this point, but she gamely continued: "Don't forget that you can use Special:ParserDiffTest as a help in finding exactly what's different on a page. A lot of the changes don't mean anything. For example, on this page the only differences are to class and section titles. But this one shows problems with center and div tags (the last two green sections on the div)". Your USP offers the following, less confusing advice: if you open any kind of tag in html like <this>, you have to close it again, like </this> before the end of your page. And if you open more then one tag, be sure to close them in the right order <like><this></this></like>. Then shit should not get fucked up. The gnomes were unavailable for comment. February '... of the Month' Awards Hoedown by Gerrycheevers Well, February is over, and that means it's time to look back at the shortest month of the year and make fun of people who won awards during that month, for they have only won 90.32% as much recognition as those who won the award during a robust 31-day month. Let's get started with... DrStrange, our newest Writer of the Month, fresh off his NotM victory in December, is a welcome addition to our close, close family of editors who have never had any physical contact with each other. Since joining, the good doctor has written several featured articles, and is well on his way to another. He has enjoyed perhaps the quickest transition ever from NotM to WotM, but don't expect us to go looking things up to confirm that. February's Uncyclopedian of the Month was our lovable Wikia dictator, Sannse. Donning her staff hat and Wikia mystic power staff, Sannse always manages to be polite and cheery, even when sending vandal IPs to their doom, tacking notices to the corkboard in the Uncyc break room that incite site-wide user rebellion, and crushing the earlier mentioned site-wide user rebellions. Our N00b of the Month was a chap by the name of Guildensternenstein, which we have come to believe is some sort of undead monster from a Shakespeare play. His impressive work in his short time here, along with his other helpful contributions such as dropping by Pee Review and Imperial Colonisation from time to time, should quiet up those doomsayers who say "we don't have any good n00bs anymore" for quite some time.

Question

It's just occurred to me that I have no idea of VFD protocol, with regard to at which point a decision is made. How many delete votes are necessary for a deletion, how many keep votes for a keep, and most importantly, what ratio needs to be achieved between the two should opinions differ? Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 15:41, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I think around +4 is needed to delete an article, (which is little thin in my view) I'd like to give poopsmiths a higher vote to ensure democracy;)--Sycamore (Talk) 15:45, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I normally go with +5, but there are no "rules". As with most things, it's about what is sensible depending on the situation. MrN 15:46, Mar 6

Thanks. Can we assume +4/+5 'keeps' for a keep too? Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 15:48, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Most admins tend to wait for a clear +5 (although if TKF or ZB are in a bad mood I've seen 'em go with +4), anything below that after over a week is probably a keep. Anything with a positive surge of keeps quite quickly is definitely a keep, most of the rest is a discretionary matter. --UU - natter 15:49, Mar 6
