Welcome![edit source]
Hello, Umaga123, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If not, the door's right over there... no, a little more to your left... yeah. Anyway, here are a few good links for people like you:
- Beginner's Guide
- Our Vanity Policies - why we don't care about your friends
- How to be funny and not just stupid
If you read anything at all, make it the above three links. If you want to find out more about Uncyclopedia or need more help with something, try these:

- How to get started editing on uncyclopedia

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button (

At Wikipedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:Umaga123/Article about stuff) so you can edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold 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 - {{WIP}} - onto it as well.
If you're strapped for things to do, check out UN:WYCD or browse our rewrite and idea categories. We have lots of articles just sitting around for someone to improve, so don't be afraid - dive right in!
"But, Syndrome, sir," you say, "what if I don't want to write dry encyclopedic twaddle?" Well, I'm glad you asked! We have many side projects here, such as UnScripts for budding young Shakespeares, UnNews for our cub reporters, or even Image Request if you're more of a potato chopper than a writer. The possibilities here are endless!
If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Additionally, the Wikipedian Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced editors straight to you. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to join. Again, welcome! --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)
A frank assessment of all your edits thus far[edit source]
- Exhibit A I take it you don't like Freddie Mercury. But calling him names on a humor wiki is pathetic. Write him a letter like a real man! Don't make edits like these.
- Exhibit B Okay, that's not retarded. We're making progress? But is it funny? Does it add to the article? Does it fit in the article?
- Exhibit C Okay... You're replacing something unfunny with something else unfunny. Harmless, I guess, but mind your punctuation.
- Exhibit D Not a shining gem of wit, but harmless, I guess...
- Exhibit E What? Who's John? Is John a wrestler? How does this make sense?
- Exhibit F Oh, so now we're linking to him even though we can't be bothered to capitalize his name?
I hope this has been helpful. If you still have questions, see me after class. --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 03:10, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
