SURPRISE COMMENT
See, it's not talkpage rape. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 14:06 Apr 08, 2009
ok yeah
i think i managed to mess it up hahahaha Djdorama 00:16, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
TOTALLY THANKS also, could you run it by me how you did that for future reference? i really dont get it T_T. thanks ! Djdorama 02:47, 10 April 2009 (UTC) DOUBLE POST.
i know how you moved it. i dont get the whole QVFD thing though (which i didnt do btw) Djdorama 02:52, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- Basically QVFD works to allow users to delete stuff that should nt be around, when you move stuff you create an 'article' that redirects you to the titiel you've moved it to. If you are going to mainspace your work thwere is no need for these redircts. If you move an article that does not need a redirect you just add to the top of the QVFD list like this {{Redirect|Uneeded redirect title of some kind}} then an admin will get rid of it.
- A big tip is not to move the same article twice (just ask fro help if you do) even if you've made a mistake, as a real mess can result. The other thing is just to move the article with the tab at the top of the screen (which you did already), mkae sure though that the title you want is exactly the one you want though. Hope this explains things:)--Sycamore (Talk) 09:26, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
UnSignpost April 9/10th, 2009
Because if the rumors don't spread at the salon, we must spread them in the news.
April 9th, 2009 • Issue 42• We Give the In-jokes Recycling Center 90% of Their Business!
Cabalists Decide Cabal Membership At Adequate Amount, Deny Existence of Cabal Uncyclopedia administrators this week decried the lack of need for new recruits, as they are wholly confident in their ability to secretly control the wiki from behind a moth-eaten curtain. On the voting page, which this reporter will probably be banned for pointing out to the common folk, the current cabal members expressed their desire to see more normal non-admins, or 'normies', be involved with the recent changes page. However, the option for another member being inducted into the cabal was declined, as things like the ban patrol and the Cajek Alert System seem to be running just fine, thank you very much. Cabalists were adamant about their opinions. RAHB had the following to say: "I cannot confirm the non-existence of the non-existent cabal, being that it does not exist, and I'm no Harry Potter-reading fantasy boy. I can however confirm the existence of puppies. THEY'RE ADORABLE!" The non-existence of the cabal was further emphasized by Mordillo who declined comment when approached as he was leaving the Secret Cabal Headquarters & Tiki Lounge. Experts were skeptical of the existence of the cabal, but point out that nothing should be ruled out. "Woof," said UnSignpost political correspondent DogNewspaper (pictured), citing the low level of vandalism and general dickery since the recent opping of Under user and MrN9000, who have become known to Uncyclopedians as "The Redcoats". Co-Creator of UnSignpost Introduces New Creation Dr. Skullthumper, co-founder of the very newspaper you are reading right now, has unrolled his newest creation, the NetBar. UnSignpost editors were too busy and ridden with jealousy to investigate the nature of this new invention, but our technology correspondant DogNewspaper (pictured) was willing to speculate on the new gadget. "Bark bark," he proclaimed, elaborating that this new thing is most likely some sort of candy bar or online tavern. This is not the first time the good doctor has abandoned the UnSignpost to work on other equally trivial projects. Fnoodle, disguised as a harmless spellcheck wiki-bot, is actually a perfect one-eight replica of Skull. This entity has nearly 20,000 edits, mostly vandalisms of pages in Thekillerfroggy's userspace. However, Fnoodle has sat abandoned in the doctor's sandbox since last October, since all of said doctor's time recently has been poured into his new project, the NetBar. Uncyclopedians had mixed reactions today. Sockpuppet of an unregistered user had this to say: "Cabal? What cabal? There is no cabal." A gathering in the Uncyclopedia break room formed, with users misguidedly attempting to ward off squirrels with the NetBar. When reached for comment, Dr. Skullthumper said, "What's an UnSignpost?" |

i think i submitted it for a pee review, but im not sure. i'm so helpless. help please? or pee review it yaself? idk Djdorama 00:05, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- I can't find your article on Pee review. To submit it you need to go to Pee review and go to the bottom, simply enter the article title and click submit. You will then come up with an editing screen, maybe add a little about what you've tried to do etc and click save. Then your artivcle will be on the list of articles to be reviewed, give me shout if it does not work quite right:)--Sycamore (Talk) 09:32, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

IC reminder
Hi Sycamore, just dropping by to let you know that we haven't seen you at IC in a couple weeks. Maybe you've been busy, maybe you've been on a two week bender, but regardless of your excuse, we need you. Imperial Colonization is all about participation, and being a Colonizer requires an active commitment. If you're not up for it, there's nothing wrong with that. Just let us know. But if you do wish to continue calling yourself a Colonizer, get out there on the front lines, maggit! (If you do not participate in this coming week, we will be forced to remove you from the roster.) Cheers! 14:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm pretty busy these days, although I love the idea of IC I doubt I will have the time to contribute to it I'm afraid. To keep up with you paperwork, probably take my name down if you like:)--Sycamore (Talk) 16:12, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

UnSignpost April 16th, 2009
Proudly supporting editorial independence whenever the board say it's okay
April 16th, 2009 • Issue 43 • It's News Because We Tell You It Is
Latest Poo Lit Leads to Quality Flood on VFH
The first article nominated to VFH from the competition also came with a bold prediction by one numbskull, who questioned his existence if Karl Lagerfeld did not receive 20 For. votes. At 03:57, 11 April 2009 the 20th For vote was cast by Thekillerfroggy and it's safe to say that the author of this instant Uncyclopedia classic should be considered the overall champion with his three entries garnering him two first place articles and one second place finish. Unscrupulous Unsignpost reporters One of our winners was not only a perfect 1/1 by winning the best rewrite category with Money but Sycamore also received the vaunted Writer of the Month trophy for March 2009! A user that happens to wander in and write us an offering on occasion claimed a share of first place in the alternative namespace category with the UnNews article Obama unveils education reform plans. Monika should drop in more often! Worst 100 of the Year Stumbles to 10 Things
There are several schools of thought as to why this situation has been allowed to arise. One gaining currency among quite literally possibly some Uncyclopedians is that everyone on the site is so busy producing quality material that they just don't have time to devote to such frivolities. However, the continued existence and rate of progress of Forum:Count to a million neatly quashes that theory. Another hypothesis advanced by as many as no or fewer people is that precisely nothing of any interest to anyone has happened, either on this wiki or on the interwebs in general this year. However, while this is significantly more likely than the first theory, the generally accepted explanation seems to be that, quite simply and predictably, Uncyclopedia is the worst. |

ICU vs. expand
I noticed you went through and changed some of the {{ICU}}s I tagged to {{expand}}s. Care to explain why? --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 15:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
You don't have to worry! I am a sysop in the greek Uncyclopedia, so I know what to do...;) Anyway, for a short period I want be writing any articles because I want to see some of the articles. But I'll be back! Muahaha. --EnKay 16:00, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

hmmm, could you give me an idea (or probably an article) to write? Because nothing comes to my mind now. Enkay 17:11, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- There's come directions on here. Theres some idea pages, but its usually a good idea just to do your own thing. When I was starting out I always looked at our featured stuff to get ideas etc. I don't want to be too specific, just browse a bit I suppose, and
you'll find an idea you can stealsomething will come:-)--Sycamore (Talk) 17:18, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Please don't ignore me, Sycamore. I wouldn't revert your edits without explaining, and you shouldn't override my edits without explaining, especially when I'm asking you. --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 17:04, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
- Why do you actually care? What's thirty days to us = nothing; seven days to someone starting up is a little bit harsh if they've clearly spent time trying to do something half decent. Obviously we need to stop the crapflood (one liners etc), but a little bit of patience and judgement go a long way. Peace:)--Sycamore (Talk) 17:10, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
- ICU isn't a death sentence; it's just a prod to the article's creator to improve it before an admin decides what to do with it. {{Expand}} is vague. If you just read the template, it doesn't say anything about deletion in 30 days. A newbie editor would probably assume that {{Expand}} is just like {{stub}} and not feel that there's any real need to fix it, so in that way expand can be more dangerous than ICU. So I guess it's a matter of preference, but I "actually care" because I don't like having my edits undone without a good reason. Cheers. --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 20:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
People Quotes
I just started writing an article about a person. But I can't come out with any quotes. Any help? The half-done article is is here, if you want. 12:16, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Sometimes they come as the article comes together, obviously, my undertanding is that this is Ape Erotcism - so maybe some coverage of that by David Attenborough. Usually my quotes or quote at the top is more like an essay question whcih the article fills out, but I'll often add a few throughout the article.
Some ideas,
“She's just yummy”
“A real prospect for any 'up and coming' young monarch”
“I prefer my chimps waxed and not shaved - get a bit of a raw face otherwise, which is bad for my skin”
Hope this helps:-)--Sycamore (Talk) 12:42, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for adding images to the article that I started, Archaeological Geophysics. Given the topic, you may be interested in another article that I just started, Time Team. Do please help out if you are able. Thanks.

Hey Syc, I received the same message. Did you want to take care of this or should I help too? I stumbled onto (the TV show) Time Team only a year or so ago and promptly watched every episode I could find on Guba. Absolutely love the show. It's kind of weird but for some reason I see Mick in my head when I mentally put a "face" on Mordillo, though I know he can't be that old.--
11:59, 20 April 2009 (UTC)- No, I'm certainly not that old. ~ 12:03, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- More the merrier I say, I haven't seen Time Team in ages. Also I think of Mordillo being a bit like Naboo from the Mighty Boosh...--Sycamore (Talk) 12:06, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- My world changed a few years back when I moved from a small house with a live (free) cable line to my new place, where I refuse to pay for the crap anymore. Too much stuff online for free nowadays anyway. I've always loved documentaries and Time Team is hands down the most educational archaeology show I've ever seen. Trust me, the Mordillo/Mick association in my brain is purely one of respect. I'll see what I can add to the article.--
- That's all right, I personally think of Sycamore as my good friend Willie. ~ 12:52, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

'Ello Syccy.

On the other hand, if you don't and the ICU was the result of one of those brief unexplainable mental episodes that sometimes afflicts us all, I'll add it to QVFD. :-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 15:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
UnSignpost 23rd April 09
Good things come to those who wait. So does the UnSignpost.
April 23rd, 2009 • Issue 44 • Spamming Your Talkpage Since 2008
Conservation Week Largely Ignored By UnCommunity Uncyclopedia is currently halfway through its bi-annual (semi-annual?) rewriting extravaganza, lovingly referred to as Conservation Week. Every six months, members of this silly wiki partake in the practice of pruning, hacking, nurturing, feeding, and otherwise bothering the 'trees' of the site, which is the running metaphor for 'article'. From the greatest feature machine to the lowliest n00b, everyone can participate in Conservation Week by simply finding a sub-par article and making it better via trimming or adding content, or just plain magic. However, our special investigator DogNewspaper (pictured) has discovered that this so-called Rewrite-a-Thon is not the all-encompassing entity it is meant to be. In fact, normal operations such as VFD, VFH, and the Cajek Ban Joke Factory have not ground to a halt as they clearly should during this special fortnight. Users were puzzled by this revelation; RabbiTechno admitted that he has "little idea what 99.9% of the whole site is all about," and he elaborated that without his constant vigilance, UnNews would surely deteriorate into a third-rate media parody, which this reporter can verify is true. Known conservation standouts have also shockingly participated in non-rewrite-related activities during the designated tree-hugging week. Dexter111344, reigning Greasy Mechanic, blamed the inclement weather, nosy librarians, and the almighty Zeus. Or maybe he just rewrote Zeus, but the librarian part was true for sure. UnSignpost Reporter Subtly Mentions Vigilance Week In Article; Chaos Ensues In the April 23rd, 2009 edition of the UnSignpost, masked co-chief-editor Gerrycheevers covertly linked the word 'vigilance' to Uncyclopedia's Vigilance Week page, inciting riots and mass panic among Uncyclopedians site-wide. Vigilance Week, the mere mention of which often inspires multiple forums where users argue and complain in bold or even italic font, is a period where the rules of article deletion are relaxed, and the worst articles on Uncyclopedia are loaded into the basement of the British Houses of Parliament and blown up using comical amounts of gunpowder. The last Vigilance Week reportedly occured in September/October 2007, resulting in the death of borderline humorous articles by the dozens. The horrific memories of that week have greatly affected some Uncyclopedians, who remain extremely charged about the issue to this day. For example, Modusoperandi recalled his experience when asked to comment on Vigilance Week, saying, "Certainly. What's "Vigilance Week"?" Other users were similarly shocked, as V-Week, as it has come to be known, was described as "unmemorable" by one user, and "get off my lawn" by another. However, the passion that Vigilance Week stirs up is negligent when compared to the shitstorm that results upon the mention of that black sheep of Uncyclopedia holidays: Forest Fire Week. This period in the Fall of 2006, when Uncyc was still really an infant in wiki-years, saw over 3000 articles deleted, more than 15% the total website content at the time. In fact, this very article will probably merit at least one forum regarding FFW despite this periodical's poor circulation and low-quality electrons. At press time, the subtle link to Vigilance Week had caused a medium-sized riot, with hordes of angry users tipping over cars in the Uncyclopedia Parking Structure and setting the animals in the Uncyclopedia Zoo loose. The Cabal is poised to get involved by seizing all media outlets and gener- ATTENTION COMMONERS. ALL IS WELL. THERE WILL BE NO OCCURENCES OF ANY DELETION WEEKS OF ANY KIND. FURTHERMORE, COMEDIC ALLOWANCES WILL HEREBY BE INCREASED FROM 80 GRAMS TO 65 GRAMS. THIS MESSAGE IS NOT THE DOING OF THE CABAL, AS THERE IS NO CABAL. GOODNIGHT, AND HAVE A PLEASANT TOMORROW. |

hey sycamore, just wondering if you had any comment for the unsignpost regarding its impending one-year anniversary issue in the works. are you excited? scared? apathetic? 17:05, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- I feel the signpost has in many ways has brought a little too much cabal propaganda to the site for my liking. The steely grip of the Jews has affected impartiality and ultimately the papers independence is something we should all be skeptical about. Also who the feck is this Cajek guy?:)--Sycamore (Talk) 10:06, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey.
I'm interested in your VFD comment for Behind you. To quote:
“ | Not crap enough, weaker stuff is fine in context here. Seriously the amount annoying legacy building on VFD needs to stop. | ” |
What, pray tell, did you mean by that? Just curious... /hopes you're gonna insult me cause it turns me on... --MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 21:36, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
I suppose all I mean is that there is not the same levels of truly deletion stuff in my view - I have also noticed that the most hard-line of people on here tend contribute less. Maybe if more people looked at rewrites (which is very full at the moment) or actually spent more time on their own articles a nicer trend would come about. We have so obsessed with 'quality control' in whatever form we're starting to become McDonald's which would be a shame. VFD does not add to the site, it only takes away. For your insult - 'you're dickfluff':-)--Sycamore (Talk) 12:02, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- I slightly disagree with your opinion (I agree about 98%, but I'm kinda one of the hard-liners you so speak of, although I'd have to say I contribute a lot. If you know what I mean. And by that I mean I have written quite a lot... Sure, that's what I meant.), but I'll grab my shotgun and shoot several liberals for your right to say it!

UnSignpost! 1st Anniversary Special!!!
The Newspaper With No Ambitions, Goals, Hopes or Dreams!
April 30th, 2009 • Issue 45 • The periodical that - Jesus Christ it's a lion get in the car!
UnSignpost Editors Too Busy Working on Anniversary UnSignpost to Bother with This Week's Issue Since next week marks the incredible one-year anniversary of the storied UnSignpost, the editors are focusing all of their efforts on that issue and thus leaving this issue out in the cold. Rest assured that next week's 46th issue, marking the 46 weeks in the year on the Uncyclopedia calendar, will be "a bumper special issue" according to co-chief-editor Under user. The promise of a special bonus issue brings to mind several of the UnSignpost's more notable issues, such as the All-Kitten Issue and the Seventeenth Issue Spectacular. Reactions to the milestone were mixed in the community. "I feel the signpost has in many ways brought a little too much cabal propaganda to the site for my liking," said noted good-looking tree Sycamore. Were there a cabal, cabal authorities would currently be on the way to Sycamore's house to arrest him. Lucky for him there is no cabal. By the way, if you really thought this was the first anniversary issue, you suck. |

Re. your outside poop consultant idea - I'm not always about and Dexter seems to be with us late at night on the whole, so I'm perfectly happy for you to archive, etc. I'm sure most of the admins know you well enough to not take action if they see you remove anything from VFD etc. :-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 09:45, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

- You're one of the few writers that has the whole 'I wish I'd written that effect' for me. I think you should have won WoTM ages ago. As far as poop goes, I don't want to interfere and if you want me to bugger off I will, sometimes the coverage is not as complete as it could be, I don't want to be poopsmith again, but sometimes a little bit of support keep things going a little smoother:)--Sycamore (Talk) 10:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- I've thought the same about some of your articles, as it happens. But then I think to myself, "No, it would've been a poorer article if I'd done it, because it suits Sycamore's (or whichever writer wrote it) style better than mine." Mine suits fairly dry, pseudo-intellectual subjects; whereas yours is far better for articles on music and so on - we all have differing talents I suppose. Interfering and buggering off doesn't even come into question - we're all responsible for this site and keeping it to as high a standard as possible. Personally, I wouldn't care at all if any trusted user carried out tasks such as archiving, but we need to keep it limited just to keep track of things I suppose. If I could, I'd be on here for at least part of every day and could handle the smithing, but the missus gets pissed off and keeps going on about spending 'quality time' or some similar girly thing with her. Women, eh? Still, she has the breasts in this relationship, so she makes the rules. Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 10:19, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Feedback on my Articles?
Hey Sycamore I'm rather new to Uncyclopedia and I was wondering if you could provide any feedback on my two articles: Monkey Jesus and Canada II? Thanks :) Thatguyoverthere1 13:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'd say they're pretty good. Much better than the ones I did when I was starting out - very good for a newbie:) Two things I would do is for the future I would pick real topics to parody (there are exceptions to this though) and for these ones I would sharpen the formatting. Check out the works by these guys for ideas, if you click the edit tab you can see what they've done: Mhaille, ENeGMA and Modusoperandi. They do some of the best stuff around here. There are a loads of guides for newbies, I found it was easiest just to look at what the best were doing and see how I could fit that in with what I wanted to do. For some tips check out HTBFANJS and out our Beginner's Guide - they've got some ideas and tips. You can get a proper review here: Pee Review, just follow the instructions and someone will eventually review your article. Hope this helps:-)--Sycamore (Talk) 13:58, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Blocking IP addresses

- Usually this is the case to my knowledge. Wikipedia admins and Uncyclopedia are very seperate entities, its likly that somebody has vadnalised both wikis:)--Sycamore (Talk) 16:35, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

The Uncyclopedia UnSignpost is proud to present its 1st Anniversary Special
Word to your mother.
May 5th, 2009 • First Anniversary Issue! • Disdaining news in favour of blatant self-promotion
Self-Proclaimed Greatest Newspaper on the Wiki Reaches First Birthday
The early issues were churned out at a great rate by the founding editors, and Cajek was so enthused by the project that he suggested to Skullthumper that they should move to a twice-weekly release - fortunately, this suggestion was shot down in flames by the doc, or the paper may never have celebrated a second month, let alone a full year! Skullthumper was first to leave the Signpost behind for pastures new, perhaps feeling his work was already done. Looking back nostalgically now at those heady early days, Skull exclusively observed: "Well! Working on the UnSignpost in the beginning was a really fun experience, not gonna lie. Cajek and I were both super excited about it. I'm glad it existed through to today, entirely by the help of other people. The setup was seriously the most fun part. We had NO clue what we were doing, we were experimenting with formatting, content, and a bot that only worked half the time. To summarize: It kicked ass. I had no idea it was about a year ago that it started." With only Cajek powering it, the Signpost forged onwards, but was beginning to run into troubled waters - even Cajek's legendary enthusiasm was beginning to founder, and when he began to struggle for time, he asked DJ Irreverent to take the helm. We asked Cajek for a nostalgic comment about the Signpost, but he was unavailable, so instead here's a random line from one of his articles: "Also, don't be surprised if you go to jail for what society deems "gross", "horrible", and "Satanic": it's all part of being an ant keeper... and an ant "watcher"". The DJ managed to steady the ship (how long can we sustain this metaphor?), but struggled to handle the torch he'd been passed by his adopter (looks like we didn't sustain it very long - never mind!). Asked to comment on this turbulent period, the DJ exclusively remarked: "I dropped said torch like a ton of bricks as a good child should always do. I could not take on the family business, I needed to dance. Anyway, I wrote about 2 articles". So the pattern of users taking over the paper, only to burn out and abandon it again was becoming well established. Next in the editor's chair was UU, who lasted about 6 issues, before becoming so overwhelmed by the pressures of the paper that he went and got married in order to have a good excuse to get away from it for a few weeks. Recalling those halcyon days, UU told us exclusively: "I love the Signpost, and have had a great time working on it. It does get in the way of writing real articles though, as some users might testify, and it can be a pain to come up with stories each week - hopefully this issue might spark a few people to put some more ideas in the press room". Fortunately, UU had taken the foresighted step of questioning the staying power of one Gerrycheevers in a previous issue's "comeback of the week" box, and Gerry was so determined to prove he had what it took, that he took over the paper while UU swanned off around the world. Cheevers's time at the helm brought such classic issues as the all-kitten issue, and his exclusive dewy-eyed remembrances run thusly: "I'm proud for having successfully stolen this periodical from Cajek and Skull, and I look forward to many more years of turning forums into news stories, dredging up old features that nobody cares about, and of course making tedious Cajek ban jokes. I also demand a raise and Cajek's office!" Unfortunately, Cheevers's staying power lived up to UU's expectations, and Gerry took another small break. UU returned to the paper, and frantically enlisted contributions from the likes of Orian57 and Heerenveen to keep the wheels of news turning smoothly. Asked for comment on his input, Orian exclusively told us: "It's a been a great help in bonding together this community. And it's made things more interesting, what with everyone trying to do news worthy things just to get their names in the paper. Or something, I can't manufacture funny under pressure and this is pressure because you're gonna put this in the paper just to humiliate me now, aren't you?". Hv, meanwhile, exclusively commented: "It's amazing that our wonderful newspaper has lasted for so long, especially when you figure Gerrycheevers has been fully back on board since early this year, UU is still hanging around in between banning people and huffing stuff, and with other contributors still pitching in, plus a plentiful supply of Cajek bans to use as padding (see next story), it looks like the immediate future of the paper is in Wish we'd gotten a quote from Cajek though. Bastard. Cajek 100 Ban Extravaganza During the very same week that Uncyclopedia's most well-known journalism source (suck it, UnNews!) celebrates its first birthday with much cake and punch, one of its co-founders achieved his own personal milestone by being banned for the one hundredth time. Rumors of making Cajek an admin when he reached the milestone have thus far not proven to be true, although he may have magically gained sysop powers upon entering triple-digit territory and we just won't know it until he comes back from wherever he's hiding in a hailstorm of admin-related activity (whatever it is that they do). The milestone was reached largely thanks to users such as Sockpuppet of an unregistered user, who took to the streets in a grassroots effort to raise awareness, and Gerrycheevers, who went directly to certain sysops with demonstrably active bansticks pleading for a "Cajek-whooping." The landmark 100th ban was achieved yesterday, with the good Dr. Skullthumper blocking Cajek with an expiry time of "a milestone". The UnSignpost would like to congratulate Cajek, and also plead for his return. Cajek was unavailable for comment, and this reporter was once again chased off of the grounds of the Cajek Mansion, this time by the abstract philosophical concept of existentialism.

- This? It's not that I was ignoring you. It's more like I wasn't paying attention. I try not to do anything more than half-assed, as I might need to use the other half should a sitting-centric emergency arise. Sorry for missing the recent changes. I did ban that guy, though. That was pretty cool. I was like Han Friggin' Solo! Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 12:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

What was wrong with the england article edits? --Doomdealer666 22:10, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Sadly you chopped a little too keenly, since you've brought it up and you are obviously not a vandal, you can edit the page without harassment from myself at least, but it would be very preferable if you do not remove the stuff from the bottom of the page. Thanks there, and have fun:-)--Sycamore (Talk) 10:36, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
