Welcome to UnNews, Uncle J, and thank you for contributing some crap, or otherwise attracting my attention. For a quick introduction about how you can write a decent or better UnNews article, please take a minute read our spiffy new Style Guide.
I am your humble servant (in your dreams), and if I may be of help to you, please leave me a note on my talk page.
You can win awards and prizes! You can become a better writer by subjecting your articles to the scrutiny of UnNews critique machine or UnCanninator shit article detection system. You can become a thorn in the side of Journalism as a whole. You can get promotions, ribbons, and free crockery! You can write stuff your mom would be ashamed to show her friends.
If you've submitted an article, and it's disappeared, I may have mercy-moved it to your user space. This means I've probably left a message on your talk page, likely in close proximity to this very message, explaining why.
Your article may have been tagged for ICU if it has significant problems meeting our criteria, or I may have deleted it because you did not register as a user.
Finally, maybe you just pissed me off. I mean, I know I'm a Roshi, and I'm supposed to be all "Zen" about everything, but I have bad days too, you know?
If you are interested in doing an UnNews audio, check this out.
At present, I create UnCartoons for UnNews all by my onesies, for better or worse. Now, I will never claim that I am a good cartoonist. Fortunately, the internet provides us a way to do all sorts of things simply and easily. I found Stripgenerator.com, a great site to create cartoons with a minimum of talent.
- This document is an ongoing effort by me to enhance the obfuscation coefficient of Uncyclopedia; productive changes, and criticism are welcome. Cheers! The Right and Left Reverend Major Sir Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 17:38, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

I assume you asked me if I was a creationist so you could put "Warning: This article was written by a creationist!" on Cremationism? It's not like there's a disclaimer on Evilution saying "Warning: THis article was written by an atheist!"
If you don't like it just revert it --Uncle J 04:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Re: Evilution picture[edit source]

You've spent too much time with the "so-called experts" at Wikipedia. I can tell. Beezwax 03:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Look here, you're comparing apples and oranges. Creationism has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with people who believe in flat earth. Come on! There's enough evidence for creation that it can be removed from the category of "People who believe in magic". Of course, Oromis from Eragon believes in magic, and he is an atheist! What do you have to say to that?! Beezwax 01:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- And here's an example of our country's growing intolerance of Christianity: two Gideons being jailed just for being on a public sidewalk! Why should we tolerate your crap if you can't even tolerate us being on your stupid asshole sidewalks????!!!!! Beezwax 02:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- And believe it or not, Atheists and evolutionists have a god too! Want to know what it is? I'll give you a hint: every time we creationists talk about evolution being based on random chance, you guys say, "No, it's based on ___ which is not random." So, can you figure it out?

My Native Language[edit source]
No matter if you confuse spanish, portuguese or italian, those languages really look alike at first view. I speak portuguese. The uncyclopedia in my orginal language is awful because it has absolutely no refined humour and is filled with cursing, as if jokes about people's ass were funny all the time. They also make a lot of internal jokes, specially about soccer (or football, if you prefer). If you search for countries that speak portuguese, I'm sure you will discover where I'm from.

UNnews "Link" follow up[edit source]
Hey, I really liked your piece on Link and thought of a good concept for a follow up article. The first ends mentioning that arrangements for Link's trial are still being made right, well I was thinking, what if The Great Deku Tree claims custody of Link, as the guardian of all the kids from Kokiri Forest and demands that Link be tried as a minor by the Kokiri courts instead.
I thought I'd pitch it to you and see if you were interested in the idea before writing it myself. Thanks --Benny Goodman 16:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- How strange it is that you didn't write that Link article, it was attributed to you on the article's talk page.--Benny Goodman 19:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Aha! ok I figured out where I went wrong, I was looking at the history for the talk page at the time and am stupid. =p, sorry--Benny Goodman 19:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey Uncle J, I got your message and I tried to read your article and vote against the nomination for deletion but it appears I have the timing of a donut-laden OPP officer with vomit inducing flatulence (true story).

Hey there. You uploaded the above referenced image, and it is being used on the English Wikipedia in John Morgan's article, claiming a Wikimedia Commons license, but it is about to be deleted because it does not have any source information. If you can provide that (where you found it, or if you took it yourself), then the copyright status can be verified, and it won't go away. The file on en.wikipedia is Image:MayorJohnWMorgan.jpg . If you did take the photo yourself, you can release it expressly. You can drop me a note on en.wiki if you want. Thanks in advance. - Crockspot 22:55, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

UnNews:NASCAR: Carl Edwards gets probation for killing fellow driver[edit source]
Big problems in the second half. I understand that the joke is that NASCAR values profits more than human life--but you must not have a spokesman saying that! You are stating your punch line rather than guiding your reader to it on his own! Spıke ¬ 00:50 11-Mar-10
PS--I've minced words in the first half with two edits (without addressing the above concern). And have recorded an audio feature based on your report. You are now listed in UnNews:UnNewsAudio as a contributor. In the audio version, I left out everything about the complicity of the police and the courts. But I believe the crassness of NASDAQ will come shining through. Spıke ¬ 02:13 11-Mar-10
PPS--I've also changed the title of the article. Your headline was too long and didn't follow UnNews style (all lowercase except first letter and where grammar dictates caps). Spıke ¬ 02:49 11-Mar-10
- My bad, I took a year long sabbatical from uncyclopedia so i am unfamiliar with the rules, I think the article looks better and you didn't change that much, its been a long time since any of my articles got recorded, mostly from 2006 and 2007 when Zim was still doing them --Uncle J 05:59, March 12, 2010 (UTC)
Not too bad! Details are in the change summaries of my edits. The final one moves to the end of the story the two paragraphs I didn't record (on the police and the courts) and recommends that you delete them. Zim is still here, and has moved up from actually doing the work to managing it! I arrived about eight months ago. Everyone is unfamiliar with the rules, so last week I rewrote the Style Guide to try to align it with reality. You follow my most important rule for UnNews humor: to have your story be inspired by real news and to read like real news. Spıke ¬ 11:10 12-Mar-10

Hope you got rid of that nasty scrotum rash! Just a word saying that you should start UnNews in your userspace rather than put a construction template on it since they show up on the "New UnNews" log and I won't know at all when you are through with it, therefore not being able to put it on the front page if it is good.

- Haha, your UnNews is good! Damn, I played this game a lot when I was a kid! I added a pic in it since it's long and there was only one, I hope the pic is OK with you. I'll put it on the front page. Mattsnow 19:34, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah the picture is good, i would have loved to photoshop a picture of the Zozo residents in front of the auction house but that would have taken too much time, your picture is good and i found the picture of the burning house in Thamasa so i figured that was a good one to use. --Uncle J 15:42, December 9, 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't active much in 2008 and 2009, came back for a few months in 2010, just came back in October so not as familiar as some of the regulars.

Hello[edit source]
And good to have you back in a more permanent sense. I'm glad that Mattsnow nommed you for the Foolitzer, because it's embarassing to Uncyclopedia that you haven't won that yet, and then I realized it was embarassing to Uncyclopedia that we haven't given you Writer of the Month as yet! If you don't win that this month, I'll nom you again first thing next month. I've read some of your articles by clicking at random on the UnNews on your talk page, and every one is well written and good satire. As for the above discussion, real news articles are often quite long, so I for two don't see why you can't make unnews pages the size of New York Times articles, especially if they're well written. Anyway, glad to "see" you again. Aleister 10:48 6-1-'12
- p.s. Do you "ride" Recent Changes? (clicking on it and seeing what's happening on the site. I'm only asking because I spoke causually of recent changes once with a very long time and prominent user, and he hadn't even heard of doing that. I'd mention his name but then I'd be a tattle-tale, tattle-tale, baker's man.
- I enjoyed the PK Subban one! Great one. Mattsnow 11:10, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't really care much about winning anyways, I mostly just write articles for myself and my friends to read anyways.

I think a lot of ppl nominate their own articles, I don't really bother with that too much. Canadians aren't really about self promotion :) --Uncle J 14:03, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
- So let others promote you, it helps the site. I don't like awards either, they kind of make me nervous and so I attempt to refuse all of them, humble like Lyrthria or whatever the name is. And if you think some of your pages are stupid, polish them like you would the palm of a Canadian Mountie stopping you on your monthly traffic violation. Some people work on their pages for years to make them better, or at least unsuckiworthy. Do you "do" Recent Changes? Yay J! Aleister 16:50 6-1-'12

UnNews:Barack Obama proposes legalizing prostitution, pot in effort to balance budget, avoid tax increases[edit source]
Amazing one man! I was juggling with the thought of nomming it for vfh... Problem is there's already 22 articles there. Let's wait and see... It's likely the article is going to remain timely, since Gingrich and Obama are likely to remain lolcows. :P Mattsnow 19:47, February 15, 2012 (UTC)
I got the idea for writing it when Bob Rae pitched the idea of legalized pot to attract the stoner vote to the decimated Liberal Party of Canada, I figured I'd change it to Obama because it has broader appeal, plus I found that picture of him with the pimp hat --Uncle J 17:41, February 16, 2012 (UTC)
- In California Robert Anton Wilson and others organized a Guns&Dope Party, figuring if the stoners and gun nuts teamed up they'd take over the state government.

Hi! I saw that the article about Harper was on VFD, so I asked them to move it in my userspace so I could rewrite it if they deleted it. Delete it they did. I was wondering, since by your UnNews it seems you like to make fun of him (I do too!), if you'd want to collab on it. As you can see it is in pretty bad shape. I think it's one hell of a great topic though, so if you accept, we might as well take our sweet time. What say you? Mattsnow 19:42, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah if I get some time I'll help you with it, what kind of angle are you going for, are you trying to make him sound even more extreme (and he's pretty far right) or do you want it to read like the Ministry of Truth wrote it hahaha --Uncle J (talk) 01:59, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh no... Somebody already rewrote it: Stephen Harper. Grrr... Mattsnow 02:12, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
The Pea Buddy Awards[edit source]
WOW! A brand new UnNews competition and we need you! Either prepare yourself mentally for the severity of the trials (don't sign up just yet, you cheat!) or commit your soul as a judge right now. May the Lord shine his blessings upon thee! Mattsnow 00:51, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
Sure why not, put me in coach --Uncle J (talk) 02:24, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
- To be a judge? Mattsnow 02:28, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
- yeah sure why not. when is this all going down --Uncle J (talk) 19:33, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, just click the header link for all the details. And The Day we thought would never come has arrived! Your UnNews will be on the front page shortly! :D Mattsnow 15:27, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
- yeah sure why not. when is this all going down --Uncle J (talk) 19:33, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
- almost 6 years on here and I got a featured article, too bad it wasn't a reality, if everybody just got high and got laid the world would be a less violent and a better place. --Uncle J (talk) 23:16, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Is it really your first feature? And yeah, prohibition of alcohol didn't work out well, so it's the same for all drugs. The Mexican cartels, who cause thousands of deaths a year, would be out of business right there. And who would go buy coke only because it's legal?? It's easy to get even if it's illegal (well I guess, I don't use it lol) Mattsnow 23:23, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah I wouldn't really know about coke. Coke is a joke but I think its clear that prohibition has failed. People here in Nova Scotia are too derpy to see the reality of things. They don't open up their minds to practical solutions to most problems. People are either extremely emotional and ideological or are extremely apathetic. --Uncle J (talk) 23:44, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Exactly. Our dear prime minister is about to buy Weapons of mass destruction for 9 billions$ of our taxes and nobody gives a shit. But don't legalize weed, oh no, that would spark riots! lol Mattsnow 00:48, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Yikes, nobody has told you. Your page is featured later today![edit source]
Congrats. At 00:00 UTC time tonight (in 6 1/2 hours), Saturday night in your neck of the nest and all day Sunday, your Obama unnews will be the feature article! Congrats, and well deserved for an article that we all hoped was reality when we saw the headline. I'll be right back with something to commemorate your dirty deed! Aleister 17:27 24-3-'12
- p.s. this is the biggest one of these I've seen!:
This person wrote an article which became one of the Featured Articles on Uncyclopedia. Ain't they clever?!
- I just told him, retard! Mattsnow 20:02, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
- ? ???? ? Hello. I am sorry you have to be subject to such language. The feature template is yours, all yours, to post wherever you want to. Some rabid egotists have a separate page where they keep their awards, others sell them for some smokes and a Boone's Farm. Still others melt them down for the copper. Aleister 1:53 25-3-'12
Rolling the dice again[edit source]
Good one, let's see if people like it! Mattsnow 03:43, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
:Hey Uncle J., I saw your article up on votes for hilights. First, its a good article...and I laughed several times. As its on vote for hilight, with an expected audience outside of Canada, here are a couple things to think about though: There are quite a few Canadianisms that I don't even quite get (and I lived there), is there a way to keep the Canadian spirit of the article while making the ideas/problems/controversy more clear to the reader?
- Here is an example of where I would use the ignorance people have to Canada to their advantage:
- "The minister of culture, who was heading to her vacation home on Hawaii during the parliament season tried to sneak through security without being noticed" ... when spotted by some of the hard core strikers, she was paraded infront of union members and the Canadian public and forced to wear the abhored "Canadian antlers of shame" (a particularly shameless symbol of Canadian shamefulness). This motivated Harper to send in the troops into pearson, immediately without discussion. "No minister of mine deserves to nor will ever be made to wear "The antlers of shame" while I am on duty.
Anyways...ideas to think about. Good article in any case :) --ShabiDOO 10:50, March 29, 2012 (UTC)- You say "you guys" meaning me? I'm pissed and I will destroy everything!!!! *Kicks an empty can* See what I've done because of you?!? Mattsnow 03:34, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
- On second thought...the whole antlers thing is a pretty bad example of making things clear. Hahahaha lets pretent i didnt write that. I wrote more of what I'm trying to say on the nomination page. You might want to consider that when someone speaks their mind on a nomination page, that they are doing it for all the best reasons and intentions, and that it isn't an attack, but constructive criticism. --ShabiDOO 03:41, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

UnNews:Iraqi government gunmen kill a dozen people in Basra, say activists on VFH[edit source]
I voted against this languishing nomination on VFH, with an apology that my first reading (which led to a non-vote) never got far enough to see the alternate reality you were presenting. Though that is this reader's fault, it also points to a challenge for the author, to take my initial misreading as a barrier to overcome in a tighter revision of this UnNews, and re-nominate it. The headline was the first obstacle; I strained to remember what like it had occurred in real life, and wrestled with the feeling that whatever it was, I didn't care about more retail violence in the Middle East. Perhaps UnNews:US debates invading Iraq to establish democracy (last three words might not be the best). (Side topic: What did "President Gore" do after 9/11? My hunch has always been the assembly of a Task Force that never discovered why four commercial pilots would crash their planes on the same day.) Spıke ¬ 13:11 13-Nov-12
- In that history, 9/11 never happened because President Gore acted on intelligence received in August of 2001, the intelligence Bush ignored, maybe on purpose, and killed bin Laden in a raid. Similar to the one Obama authorized last year. – Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.118.151.182 (talk • contribs)
Got it. All I am saying is: Lead with the lead. Turn the story around and change the headline to prepare the reader for an article in an alternate reality--rather than giving the impression that the reader missed a story about more violence in Iraq and this UnNews is an Uncyclopedian's version of it.

Why'd ya redirect the article British Colombia?[edit source]
I was still working on it. I was about to continue editing it. Please restore the page back to how I made it.Eshaan011 (talk) 17:28, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Eshaan011:, actually I think you did that, at least that's what it says in the article's edit history. Just go back and undo your edit and you should be fine. Btw, I like the work you have done on it so far! MrX 17:33, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- @talk:, but It said User:UncleJ did it. Why on mars would I ever do that. Plus, it is British COLOMBIA, not British COLUMBIA.Eshaan011 (talk) 02:11, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Eshaan011:, um, ok, maybe there's some crazy glitch going on where it looks different on your end. If you'll look at this edit, you'll see it says that you made the redirect. If you'll look here, you'll see that Uncle J hasn't made any edits since 2012. And again, I don't believe British Colombia or British Columbia are protected, so you can go ahead and change it back yourself. MrX 16:24, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
