You made me feel; Special (A letter to Sycamore)

My Darling Sycamore, Before this afternoon, I was nothing but a lurking, unregistered user, dutifully and quietly correcting any articles that had made mistakes related to Sean Connery. I had always worried, my darling, knitted my brow, at the prospect of upsetting some true contributor to the ever humorous, ever day-brightening wikia that is Uncyclopedia. I fretted, "But what if my bits aren't up to snuff?". But you; you NOTICED. Then you reached out to me; stroked my silky white beard that I treat with Shampoo, and you told me, "Hey there, little guy. Come on out. There's warmth and sunshine and a whole beautiful exciting World out here." And that was when I at last, timidly, ambled out of my metaphorical cave, and created my alias, sculpted my pectoral muscles, and took off running. Thank you Sycamore, I will never forget you, Jaykwon

I like to think I make a lot of people feel special...--Sycamore (Talk) 09:58, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

Like, raep and stuff

Jaffa cakes for you!--Aleister

Damn, I had a good one and you edit conflicted me. Sloppy seconds. Aleister 15:35 5 11

Is that the best you two can do? The last time I was raped I could not walk and was beaten to a pulp. Fuckin' greenhorns.--Sycamore (Talk) 15:37, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

I'm a nice rapist - I use plenty of lube and take care not to cause lasting damage. Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 15:40, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

And I do not need lube, kind sir, as sloppy seconds takes care of that detail. Aleister 15:42 5 11

That's my fecking piles back then.--Sycamore (Talk) 15:44, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ruptured piles make a very effective lube, I find. Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 15:48, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

Get on board! Aleister 15:52 5 11

I think I find should have been first, or the ruptured piles. Either way its all pretty gross and Preparation H needs to come as fast as Superman, him being the only hero for this rectal rescue.--Sycamore (Talk) 15:54, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

They're not Jaffa Cakes....;_;--Sycamore (Talk) 09:14, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

How about these? Yummmmmm. Jaffa cakes. -- Aleister 11:42 6 11

But I spent all day cooking them and arranging them on a table to photograph. The recipe said "Jaffa Cake", and I'm sure I mixed the ingredients correctly. Damn. Just my luck. Everytime I try to do something nice I muck it up /Breaks down in tears, wanders away, eyes the trusty backup suicide rope, decides against it. This time.... Aleister 10:11 6 11

Those are scones, try giving them to UU or some other crazy limey type or an old biddy. Jaffa Cakes please or something protein packed.--Sycamore (Talk) 11:28, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Its the guy with the featured articles....shame we couldn't drum up another couple of votes for Gaunilo too... -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

I think with a bit more polish Gaunilo should easily be featured, without either of us putting on the fishnets and touting for business... I'll come by to do more things on the article;)--Sycamore (Talk) 09:51, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

You want me to take them off then? Slowly? With my teeth... -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

Regarding your message.

I was being serious, as they actually evaded a serious ban. Kiko4564 16:30, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Admins can't be banned or evade bans - they can just unban themselves. If one of them steps out of line they are simply victimized and bullied until they go away. Admins also ban each other for a cheap thrill. If you have a complaint or query, please take it up with an admin or bring it up with the admin in question - not on ban patrol.--Sycamore (Talk) 17:15, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

The Grue Army

Hey Sycamore, Meganew and I were wondering, if you would like to join the grue army. We think some work could really drive you up the ranks (maybe even to admin-ship). If so just write back here or on my talk page and Meganew or I will add you. You can click all the links at the top of that page to read all about us. Or go here. Lastly, I know you don't really like userboxes but we do have this really cool one you get if you join:

This user has joined The Grue Army to help Uncyclopedia kill vandals, and help users. Please join today!

Sorry dude I tend to avoid usergroups. Incidentally I think I'm one of the more favoured admin candidates anyway - I've just always turned down standing in VFS;)--Sycamore (Talk) 09:15, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

A Cry For Halp

I would very much like to be adopted, as I am very heavily marked under "teh noobzor" title, Sir Sycamore. All halp is appreciated. Note: I do not own a personal computer, I use any I happen to be around; due to that, I usually take a while (a day or three) to reply to anything. Sad face. Anyway! How about a new noob?! --Fg390 17:38, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

I've replied on your talkpage:)--Sycamore (Talk) 18:58, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Back from Maidenhead. Horrible weather you have in that bloody country and not enough hot water (not to mention anything about water pressure!) But anyways, this is what needs to be done typically:

• Set a date - I was thinking maybe early January after everyone are back from the holiday season?
• Pick the judges for each category (forum typically works).
• Launch, follow up to see that no one breaks the rules, remind judges to judge and summarize everything.

I can help you with all of the administration (protection of articles, site message etc). Oh, and if you want to change any of the rules it's probably a good idea to run a forum, unless it's something minor. Makes sense? ~ 22:24, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, non probs - I'll set up the forum and stuff and we should be away:)--Sycamore (Talk) 19:06, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

For your vote on Never on Sunday!! And I wanted to say that your sig is the most Christmasey here so far, the holiday season is well upon us and I'm getting out of its way. Thanks again. Aleister 14:30 3 12

Hey no probs, your article made me smile. Yeah I brought the Xmas sig, hopefully get Santa to send me Trisha Helfer or that ginger bird from Mad Men...--Sycamore (Talk) 11:47, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Vanity articles and work ethic

You cited Fuck ChiefjusticeDS as an example of effortless vanity. As I spent a great deal of time on that, did more research than I care to admit, put it through review, and rewrote much of it since my first draft, finally tracked down a proper reporter to help with the news part, I must ask - did I do that bad of a job? Or did you even read it?

I will grant, I never meant it to be feature material - it was a rewrite of a deleted article from someone hating on Chief, done only to see if something like that could be turned into an actual article that could survive in mainspace, and done because I, as me, would never actually write such a thing. Of course I wanted to see it on VFH - the original elicited some pretty, shall we say, interesting votes, so who knew what response this version might get before stagnating and falling off the queue, right? Articles like that which this was attempting to parody show up on VFH from time to time, gets for votes from assorted jokers and haters and people with very strange senses of humour, but the rest of us tend to vote them down and breathe a sigh of relief when they do not make the mainpage. That did not happen this time, and I managed to delude myself into thinking that maybe, just maybe, I had actually done a decent job after all...

But now you are citing it as an example of trolling and of putting no work into something, and frankly, I am a mite insulted. Perhaps it is bad; that really would not be much of a surprise, given my unfamiliarity with the subject of hate articles, but then what would you suggest be done about it? Specific criticism may be more work than calling people morons, but it would also be that much more appreciated. ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101204 - 23:53 (UTC)

What are "hate articles"? --EMC ^[TALK] 00:16 Dec 5 2010

I hate you, emc! Hate haet hat! I really hate you! Etc! And stuff. - Suppose that is an article, or something, anyhow. You know? ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101205 - 00:36 (UTC)

Hate articles are ones that intellectually superior users write to make an often valid point usually aimed at a specific person, or situation, but invariably end up focusing on trying to demonstrate their superior intellect, thus in time becoming a subject for hate articles themselves. Tis a viscous circle... -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

Thanks!

QVFD question

Hey, I noticed you archived qvfd before anyone had looked at the more recently added pages. I'm curious, are the archives just daily, or how does that work, then? Seems a little odd, is all. Anyhow, I'm not not trying to belittle your work, just wondering. Thanks. 1234 ~ 11:02, 9 December, 2010

The archives work daily and as and when I need to do them, and am able to do so - with QVFD, when it's one minute past Midnight I can archive the previous day as I like and maybe if someone else hasn't, create a new day. Obviously it's far outside my duties to police how and when stuff is added or to regulate the entries on QVFD. Ideally people will make sure they add to the new day, while I am sleeping, rather than the previous day (the gadgets don't seem to work out between the two days if they have not been archived. Regardless of QVFD admins will usually take a look through new pages and overall through various means (Special pages) I know whether things are in bother or not:-)--Sycamore (Talk) 15:23, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

Mmm, maybe I should start making headers... although there aren't always admins on toward the end of the actual day, either. Anyhow, good point. 1234 ~ 18:34, 9 December, 2010

I Wun Uh Fancy Nameuhmuhjig!

Yeah...so. I want my sig to be a lot less noobifying. Yes, I know I'm such a noob-f*&# GENIUS with my kitty-huffing mention, but I need more (much like Paris Hilton).Teach me the ways, Adolf! ...I mean Syc. *Cough, cough, diarhea*--All your face are belong to huffs. 17:33, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

There's a rough guide here. Mostly the best idea is just to steal code that you like. Create a page like this User:Sycamore/sig and your away. When you are done and sure it will not muck up the pages it is on you make it your signature when time-stamping your comments. To do this you go into my preferences and where it say signature, you add this in the box {{SUBST:nosubst|user:Fg390/sig}} and click make this my custom signature - be sure to click save at the bottom and your signature should work. My motto is simple is good with these things;)--Sycamore (Talk) 21:07, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Thank ye.--All your face are belong to huffs. 17:03, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

After-thought =/

Is there any way I can change my username? I'd like it to be Literal Crisis if I can. Hmm... Why didn't I think of that before? Haha– Preceding unsigned comment added by Fg390 (talk • contribs)

Mmm... Username changes can be done through sannse, but this is undesirable. You can of course get another account, but you will have to stop using your current one. I think your username is fine, and you may find that you prefer it after you change it.--Sycamore (Talk) 19:14, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll take your word for it. Lol--All your face are belong to huffs. 17:01, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

Taliban!!!

I'd like to change my name to, to CowcatchingWankerFromTheOldW#est. Yeah, I'll do that, but later. After you put a "not enough" sign on this thing I put some more storyline pictures on it, and I like it much more. Thanks for the push. Please have a look and see if this passes muster, or mustard, or. . . Ques-ti-on: Is there a rule that we shouldn't do all-illustrated pages? Or is it the quality that counts? I have a page that thekillerfroggy huffed because of a mistake (he thought it was a Poo Lit entrant but it was entered as an obvious and clearly-labeled joke), and then kept it huffed after I explained (and the page was not about killerfroggy, and he understood that). Can you take a look at that page too? Thanks. I must now go fight for my people. Aleister 20:54 14 12

Hey Aleister - well I tend to go through the new pages regardless of whose added new stuff, so hopefully I'm pretty fair... I still don't really see the magic there but obviously just remove the tag as its not really that important. I tend not to go in for the image based articles myself, but if you are working on it and stuff then carry on;0)--Sycamore (Talk) 08:26, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, and your sig is very Christmaslike and makes me want to climb a tree to get it on with an angel. I have continued to work on the USA-Tailban page in search of your blessing. I removed the tag, but still need your approval, and if you tell me "It is not worth the electons flowing from my screen" I will continue to work on it (which I will probably do anyway). Thanks again for the tough-love inspiration. Aleister 12:25 17 12

OK...--Sycamore (Talk) 10:30, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
