Archiving your talkpage in the middle of a conversation? Shame on you!
13:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)- Sock, when I say don't use that word, I am very fucking serious. --UU - natter 13:09, Jun 3
- Well, I forgot to read your edit summary. Shame on me!
- I say it every time. Anyway, you only got a free minute to scratch your nose and look wistfully out of the curtains at that girl across the road, so what's the problem? ;-) --UU - natter 13:16, Jun 3
- No problem really, she looked hot by the way. I'll remember that for the next time. *wink* *wink* 13:19, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

You just didn't want to talk to me anymore. that's it isn't it? ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 13:07 3 June 2009
- I thought you were off to slaughter zombies or whatever, so that seemed like an opportune juncture... --UU - natter 13:09, Jun 3
- Yeah I was. But then I noticed you archived. Also:
- Really? Why? It was easily my worst feature last month. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 14:29 3 June 2009
- I'm sure I've mentioned somewhere at least once that humour is subjective. Those are my opinions, and as we all know, they are always right. Looking at my votes and how well most of those articles are doing, looks like not many other people are as right as me... --UU - natter 14:54, Jun 3

On another note[edit source]
Could I take care of the Why? features together with the HowTo's I'm already doing? Its main page has been static for some time now.
13:25, 3 June 2009 (UTC)- I don't see why not. --UU - natter 13:30, Jun 3

s-s-signpost[edit source]
you bugger! that story hadn't even cooled off properly and you were fixing the spelling already! haha thanks. you think you'll add a story, or shall i try to round it off? i'm managing to outsmart my employer's internet filter for the time being, but don't be surprised if i get cut off mid-sentence. 13:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Heh, I happened to be passing, and couldn't resist. I was intending to sort out this week's issue after work tonight, while Mrs UU's out and so can't object to me spending too much time on the internet. (Considering how I could be spending that time, you'd think she'd be happy!) But if you have a good idea, go for it, as my idea is currently to wait for blatant last-second panic to spark the creative process. Nice to see you, BTW. --UU - natter 13:30, Jun 4
- sounds good, my cheery chum. i'm satisfied with writing the one article. let me know if you want me to add any flannel. i hope to be not-as-inactive as i believed was necessary, but i suppose only time will tell. 13:35, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Delivery[edit source]
I've been trying to get this bot working, but it won't work on my computer for some reason. From what I hear, it should be pretty easy. I got some information on Sannse's talkpage. The AutoWikiBrowser seems to be the way to go. It has a guide on Wikipedia. And Charitwo made a config file for delivering the UnSignpost. 21:38, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Alternatively, you can ask Charitwo to deliver it on IRC. If he's willing. He's usually around. I need to go now. See ya later.
- Sorry, stole your job this week. You gotta be quick, Sock! Saberwolf116 01:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

UnSignpost June 4th, 2009[edit source]
The periodical without any junk in its trunk!
June 4th, 2009 • Issue 50 • I love the smell of news in the morning!
Todd not Lionised by all?
Lyons himself was deeply touched by the tribute, exclusively telling the USP: "I'm a bit surprised (though not touched, like the WotM nomination this month), because I generally shy away from the snappy/nasty ban summaries that would guarantee me a spot in the UnSignpost. Really, RDB is my #1 pick for this, and richly deserves to have a hate group on Facebook (if not several dozen by now). :) Second, if I had any insecurities that I'd lost my touch with the ban hammer after being on hiatus, they're gone. The arm's feeling great. The surgery seems to have been a 100% success. I'm feeling good that I'll be able to finish out the season and hopefully garner some interest as a bureaucrat when I become a free agent this fall." The group's creator was unavailable for comment, probably due to being banned. Comings and Goings As you may or may not have noticed, there recently seems to be a flurry of returns and hiatuses (hiati?) on this silly wiki that some of us like to call Uncyclopedia. This could be due to a number of things: the end of the school year and thus the end of studying and finals; the summer season causing new and strange emotions in internet comedy writers; the revolving door recently installed at the Uncyclopedia headquarters. Regardless of the reason, those returning have been 'welcomed', and those leaving have been warned that their userpages will be mercilessly vandalized should their vacation extend overly long. Popular aquatic creature user Finnius claims to have returned. His contributions since returning have thus far been limited to announcing his return in the forum (as required by Uncyclopedia Bylaw #435), but the Unsignpost is confident of a return laced with quality pee and other, less pungent useful contributions. The elusive Cajek, a mythical creature once thought to exist only in the surreal dreams of squirrels, has returned gloriously upon the back of a giant squirrel. So at least some part of the myth was true. Take that, science! Other returns include Dexter111344 after a brief hiatus and Gouncyclopedia!, who evaded a years-long block to announce his return in the forums (UB435 again). Perhaps the most noted of all, faithful new dog Dognewspaper returns from a one-month hiatus to appear in this story. Other users have seen a decline or all-out drop-off in their contribution level. SysRq remains on an indefinite hiatus. Gerrycheevers has seen his number of edits dwindle as of late. MrN9000 is still among the missing. Codeine is apparently gone as well, and Necropaxx will be losing his precious internet. We bid these users to hurry back, lest their userpages and works be smited with the hammer of pointless vandalism. |

Request[edit source]
Could you semi-protect Snakes on a Plane? IPs vandalized it over a long period of time, and I don't want em' to get to this early 08' version I reverted it too. Saberwolf116 14:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Romartus[edit source]
I guess I don't have the same magic touch you do. Romartus is giving me lip about his reviewing style. Maybe it's because my name is "BAN MAGNET" and the first thing you see on my page is a button to ban me XD But whatever the cause, it seems he would be willing to listen to you... • <15:57 Jun 05, 2009>
Polite Message[edit source]
I know you're aware of my plea on the forum. I don't mean to be a dick or anything, and I honestly don't care that much about having a two-sentence bio. I understand you're busy, and can certainly sympathize (I got back from work just recently myself, and have an interview lined up for a second job--yeah, paying for college is fun). It's more the principle of the thing than actually getting any recognition. Sometimes it seems like half the admins here are more concerned with leaving ten-cent one-liners on forum pages than they are with actually, you know, doing their fucking jobs, ya know? Being a fairly old-school guy, this bothers me. Don't think I'm attacking you--I'm not--there's a big fucking difference between being too busy with your actual life to write some totally irrelevant thing, and being incompetent and/or lazy. In regards to my actual request--do it whenever you get around to it. If you're busy, I understand--I'm not going to ask you to subordinate your life to my petty request. So long as you don't have your head up your ass, it really doesn't matter to me. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 04:08, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Rightyho, I'm done. And now I'll discharge various other admin-ly responsibilities before getting back to doing more unpaid extra work from home. On a sunday. Sheesh! As to the admins doing their jobs thing - you have to strike a balance a bit, because just doing the job would stop this place being so fun, to the point where we lose another admin. I'm pretty sure that's what lost us a bunch of other really good people. And on the whole, I think we still do a pretty decent job around here. Now, back to that forum, as I'm going to raise a question. --UU - natter 08:31, Jun 7
- You should use that speach when your boss find out about Uncyc. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 14:25 7 June 2009
- I think Guildy, that if you look more closely at the admins around here and their history you'll find out that there are no lazy or incompetent admins. Only burned out admins. ~ 14:36, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed. I'm sure we could all toss in our two cents about what really keeps us busy but I'm sure we do what we can, when we're around. I've recently completed graduate school while working part-time and still being a married guy with several young children to care for. During that period, I was (understandably) a non-entity here. Presently, school is done but the other responsibilities remain... but I'm making any effort I can. To that end, I did make a point to update my admin toolkit to ensure that the VFH queue was full this weekend (addressing your complaint from last week). Beyond that, the computer is on in the room, and I check the recent edits every time I pass by. I miss some stuff, but the others help a lot, which gives me time to write a bit and produce three portals this week. :) So, do cut us some slack. We're all trying our best. --T. (talk) 14:55, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't mean to insinuate that all you admin-folk are incompetent--certainly not. And I can definitely relate to the "responsiblities" and "burned out" things, so yeah. All of you have yourselves nice days. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 15:13, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Just wondering, why dont the ancient admins here just pass the torch to a newer and fresher generation of admins, you know, revitalizing this wiki? I know, you ancient admins are getting so fucking bored, so why doesnt everyone of you choose a successor and hand him his adminship?... Just saying, I know it wont happen anyway.

- All kidding (or not) aside, I think that the suggestion that the ancient admins here are bored and holding back the revitalization of the wiki is just nonsense. Have a gander at what I've done in the last 6 weeks. I'm not bored. I am someone with a full life, who enjoys loaning himself to this site when realistically possible, and this is true of any admin, ancient or not. As far as the torch passing: I was chosen as an admin by the cabal of that age because they watched what I did and decided I was a good risk. I think that web of trust has worked well over the years, and we've just kept adding additional heads as-needed by consensus. I already know who my pick will be for the next in line, but I won't be appointing anyone. I'm happy with the choices that have been made by the group in my absence, and with the current operation of the site. The mix of old and new adminship here is extremely healthy. We've got broad administrative experience and varied styles, but a shared goal and much mutual respect for each other as we do this job each day. --T. (talk) 17:59, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Adoption[edit source]
Someone did the mistake of calling you a gentleman when I asked for recommendations for possible adopters. Would you be interested in adopting a misplaced piece of footwear? --LittlePinkSock 20:40, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Gentleman? Ahhh, gentleman... People should be more careful what they call me! Nice to meet you LPS, if you don't mind me abbreviating you in a way that distinguishes you from Socky (who I see you've met). Sure, I've got room to adopt, and I'm generally around, however I will add this caveat: I tend to be here during UK office hours mostly, and UK evening times occasionally. If you're from a significantly different time zone, I can point you towards adopters who are more likely to be around when you're more likely to need them, and who therefore might be a better option. If, however, you're OK with my times, I'd be glad to help you get used to our site. Let me know what you say, and I'll take it from there! --UU - natter 08:22, Jun 8
- Jolly good. My own time is a little affected by my baby, who hasn't quite learned that nights are meant for sleep yet, and I've been killing time occasionally by reading this wiki. God knows what compelled me to join. However I'm currently in continental Europe, so obviously your business hours are likely close enough. 08:38, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hello. You'll often find me on UU's talk page, just to let you know. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 08:42 8 June 2009
- Spot on! In that case, welcome aboard, and join the club - I don't know what compelled me to join, and I've been here a couple of years now! First of all, allow me to probably be among the last to congratulate you on the young 'un - and don't worry, sleep deprication will probably help you to understand most of the stuff around here. Particularly anything written by Cajek.
- Now, to business: Pop {{adoptee|Under user}} on your userpage, to make it official, and let's get started. Looks like you've already mastered the basics, so here's UU's #2 most important rule of this wiki: remember that, whatever people say, they are usually joking - if you keep that in mind, it makes a lot of the conversations here much easier to understand, and it reduces the chances of you ever thinking everyone has something against you for no reason. If people are serious, they'll usually say. Additional to that, if you think someone has crossed a line, started giving you hassle, or otherwise acted like a dick, have a word with an admin before getting into a major flamewar with them. The admins are here to moderate and stop things degenerating into flamewars, and try to keep things ticking in a civil fashion. Following this advice will ensure you avoid a lot of needless bans, and don't feel vicitimised!
- Other than that, what would you like to know? I'm happy to answer pretty much any questions you might have. Oh, and UU's #1 most important rule of this wiki? Have fun. If you're not enjoying it, there's no point! (Oh, and just pat Orian on the head and step past him, most of us do). --UU - natter 08:57, Jun 8
- I am not your pet! I'm on roughly equal footing to you "oh straight one". :( ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 09:31 8 June 2009

- Are you, like a woman? to clarify? ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 09:45 8 June 2009
- OK, have fun. Any questions, just give me a shout! --UU - natter 10:04, Jun 8
- I'm rolling an idea for an article about in my head, but have my qualms about getting one started. I was thinking of a "parenting guide" that toys with the whole "so you got pregnant and are home with a screaming, pooping 8lbs of a future taxpayer, how to survive?" I just have trouble coming up with a name for the article, or if there's a separate category for such. And I have no idea where to find pictures yet, if there are any in the wiki yet. I just feel a little lost in general today. My thoughts get interrupted by said 8 lbs every now and then, so... Sigh. Gotta go again. 12:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- That sounds like a HowTo to me, which is both a blessing and a slight curse. Allow me to explain: it gives you a bit of a framework to begin with - look at recently featured HowTo articles on that portal page I liked to, you'll see they have a few things in common, so right away you might feel a little more confident. However, some people on here are getting bored with identikit HowTo articles pouring into the site - lots of people use them very lazily, so any new HowTo these days has to be pretty good to get attention. But it's a good way to start. One of my first articles was this charmingly titled offering - I found it helped me get started.
- However, it may be better to style it as an UnBook. Again, there are certain conventions you can follow (look at the recommended picks section for decent examples) but you could style it like one of those patronising "this is the correct end of the baby to hold" books and have a lot of fun with their conventions and language. Either of those might be a good base to start from. What do you think? --UU - natter 12:38, Jun 8
- The welcome message on my talk page mentions making pages of your own, too, I tried that with User:LittlePinkSock/Drawer. I think I'll give it a try there, first. When I have a little more flesh on the bones, I can probably get a recommendation to how I can set it up elsewhere. There was something about main space and user space being different, and I have a good guess user spaces are a little more free to fooling around on. 12:42, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oh definitely create it in your own space, that means it won't get deleted while you get going - it's yours to play with as you see fit, as long as it doesn't break the wiki! I was suggesting you use the format of those articles as a framework to begin with. Shamelessly steal ideas from elsewhere, to start with - that's how you learn wikiformatting. Find a page you like, edit it, copy the code for the bit you like, paste it into your page (don't save the edit on the other page) and then fiddle about with it until it looks how you want it to. Don't worry about the title to begin with, as you write, it'll often suggest itself. More tips to follow. --UU - natter 13:17, Jun 8
- Alright, I think I'm ready to give something a go. I found a fun page with quotes about stuff you hear at home, but don't think I can quote all of them, though it'd be fun to have a bunch of them around. I guess I'll try to start with text and then start with content. And I have to hand it to the boys (?) they went through some effort of making a cute signature for me. 13:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Category:Baby pictures should have a few pics you might find handy. Just play about - it's quite hard to break stuff in your userspace, so experiment and see where it gets you. Have fun! --UU - natter 13:26, Jun 8

I was going to put it on QVFD then! I was going to telly ou that it's patent nonsense! 09:03, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- And now you don't need to, saving you entire seconds of your life. How good to you am I? --UU - natter 10:04, Jun 8
I got started[edit source]
User:LittlePinkSock/Under The Bed It's not perfect yet, but I figured out how to make sub-headers. Not to mention I'll probably have to choose if it's a "How to: Survive a baby" or a "How to: Survive Parenting". Do you think limiting it to talking about babies is alright, or do you think it'd make for a full "infant to adult" parenting guide? 14:47, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- It's a promising start. I like the intro particularly! Formatting is moving nicely. As to the expansion, it really depends on what you feel comfortable with - but I'd recommend sticking to babies. Babies should offer you enough scope by themselves, and if you go for too broad a focus, you could end up either with an absolutely massive article or an article that skips too quickly between ideas. --UU - natter 15:17, Jun 8
- You mean about that bit about the hospital? That's usually like it, the dad who tags along to the delivery room is mostly in the way the first time. I wish I'd be better at doing visual stuff on a computer, I could use a few diagrams of babies and whatnot. I guess Google is a friend. 15:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- If you have an image in mind, but not the facility to make it, there's this place. Put a new request at the top, and one of our talented 'choppers (probably Sonje) will get back to you pretty quickly, normally. --UU - natter 15:40, Jun 8
- Some guy called Mhaille edited the pictures I had on the page a bit. I think they're good enough for now. All in all, now I'm wondering, how much text one needs to have before one can consider main space? I'm thinking about making it a How To, so I guess I'll have to look into it next. 16:38, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Mhaille does that kind of thing - he's one of the most helpful users on here, and one of the best authors as well. If he makes a tweak to one of your articles, it's usually a good thing! You've probably got enough content there to mainspace it now, if you want, it depends how t you like to do things. Some people like to wait until the article is utterly finished before they release it into the wild - amongst other things, in mainspace it's much more open for others to edit and take away from you, but on the other hand it is also out there for others to see and enjoy. My own preference is to hold on to it until I'm utterly happy with it, and get at least one review before mainspacing, so I know if others are going to see it in a good light. If you want a review, go to the review page and follow the instructions there - someone will get to it shortly, or you can ask one of the better reviewers like Orian, Tags, Saberwolf116 or Cajek to look at it for you - then you know you'll get some decent advice.
- If, however, you're happy to let it swim free as it is, all you need to do is create the new page at the location you want (I recommend HowTo:Survive Parenting or similar (the format of the title, with the HowTo: jammed up against the first letter of the title with no space, is important)) then you just copy and paste the text of your article into the new page, and you can use your "under the bed" page for something else. --UU - natter 17:27, Jun 8
- I did a brave attempt at moving it to main space: HowTo:Survive a Baby. I can see at least one thing there. I can't see just about any links in the article yet, but I put the construction tag on it, to keep it safe from too much scrutiny... Is there a means of getting feedback beyond the talk page, yours is good, but I guess I'm looking for constructive critique on the overall thing, as well... 17:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well, it's in the right place, I'd say, and for a first go, it's in a decent state. Don't put the construction tag on - that's mainly there to put on articles which have been started with a few short lines of content that a passing admin might delete on account of looking like all the other one liners we see far too much of. The other thing it does is get the article deleted if you don;t touch it for 7 days, and you don't want that! Trust me - it's good enough to stay in mainspace as it is. Now comes the next stage - do you leave it as it is, happy with a decent article, or do you sand and polish it to a high degree of shine? You've asked about feedback, so I assume it's the latter - what I'm gonna do here is put it up for a pee review for you. This is the best way of getting feedback, particularly if you get one of the better reviewers on the site. I'm going to ask Orian to take a look, as he's good with reviews and knows his funny. I'll give you a link to the review page in a minute, when it's created. Watch it, and you should get some decent feedback soon enough. --UU - natter 20:30, Jun 8
- Oh, there I go and you've already done it. Good move! And another smart move picking Cajek to ask - he'll do you a good job, I think. I'm going to go add your article to the recent HowTos box - give it a little publicity for you. --UU - natter 20:35, Jun 8
- Hold your horses! I have this thing I was going to show you. 20:36, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yup, that's the one. Give it a little time, and I'm sure Cajek'll give you plenty of feedback. I'll try to add some more comments of my own shortly, maybe on the article's talk page tomorrow. I'm just trying to sort out a few things while Mrs UU's slumped in front of Britain's Next Top Model, as when it finishes, she has decreed an early night will happen. And at this particular juncture in the month, it's a great idea not to argue with that! --UU - natter 20:52, Jun 8
- Tell me about it. Women get rather odd about things around that time. Hormones can cause a whole lot of ruckus if the lady affected is in the mood to bite your head off. I hate being at the receiving end of such. 20:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- OK, about that review: it's a good one. I've seen a lot of articles, and a lot of reviews - and Cajek knows what he's talking about. From my own look through, I'd say what you have is a well-observed article with a good writing style that is possibly a bit too close to the truth to be really funny, but with definite potential to get there. This is where you focus on exaggerating things for comedic effect, or making some more telling observations. Hardly anyone writes a masterpiece first up - this shows a good deal of promise. Many of our best authors started out with some real crap - look at my first article - Cromer. Oh wait, you can't - it was deleted for being crap! And I'm not sure what Cajek thinks of Side effects now... Sleep on it, (if you are allowed any!) and start on it with a fresh(er) eye tomorrow. And here comes the missus - time for that early night! --UU - natter 21:41, Jun 8

- Power drunk? I refer you to Mordillo's earlier edit to that page along the same lines. Getting rid of all the content and having a blank page is kind of pointless when we already have Nihilism. If you think all the content on the Nothing page should be removed, and it should redirect there, then you should take it to VFD, get it deleted and redirected properly. My honest opinion is that since we already have nihilism, the nothing page should be a different joke. Granted, what's there isn't good, but try for a different joke instead of just blanking the page. I'd respond to other stuff, but I'm busy being seriously IRL busy right now. --UU - natter 13:54, Jun 9

I've been maintaining pee review for a couple days now. Have I been making any mistakes/bad judgement calls? I wanna make sure i've got everything right. Saberwolf116 13:58, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

- Your calls - not a problem, you've been doing this long enough to know when someone's given enough to work with. The table itself - don't forget all 3 of those long average columns at the bottom. Orian has, somewhere earlier, opined we don't need them, and it's arguable that they make the process more complicated and annoying. I'm thinking of opening a discussion of SKs to see if anyone would miss them, but unless the consensus is to get rid, I'd appreciate it if you can keep those ticking as well.

- Well, that's just the thing: we don't really compare our scores, and nobody really pays attention to them. It's like the ratings system: it might have an interesting purpose, but it's pretty much ignored. Saberwolf116 21:31, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'd just like to reiterate that I think they're pointless. They don't actually say anything about wither or not we're good reviewers, and I think they do make updating that list -- especially the proles -- a real stinker of a task. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 23:11 10 June 2009
- i've never really looked at the averages. they're much easier to maintain for PEEING members and steel kidneys than the proles. my issue is this: they seem a little irrelevant because they're based on the quality of articles the reviewer reviews. if someone tends to only review articles he thinks are great, while someone else tends to review articles that he thinks need vast improvement, then their scores will differ. but maybe that's the point? anyway, if cajek likes them, i say they stay. but maybe only for the bottom 2 tables? 16:15, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- Gerry: I think we're on about the aggregate ones at the bottom, not the individual user ones (which can be helpful to spot someone being stupidly harsh).

Keep the individual ones though. Off topic: Has anyone ever thought of making a GUI or something for it? Pretty pointless, but would reduce the strain. –—Hv (talk) 11/06 16:46

I am starting to come round to the idea of removing the aggregates as mentioned, although I'm still heavily in favour of keeping the others as (also as Hv says) it does make it easier to spot people being a tad harsh. Among other things. Cajek? Casting vote on that would, I'd say, go to you because of the whole "your userspace" thing. --UU - natter 17:41, Jun 11
- I'm definitely in favor of the democratic option. Let's just have averages for the peeing members and the top reviewers, right? That sounds like a good compromise.

Howdy doody, UU?[edit source]
I'm good, having some lovely weather at the minute. That or my heater's broken again. Also I think I've hot apon something I can re-write. I just need your help because A) I'm not really enjoying it, and B) I don't have a concept, and itd be pretty damned hypocritical of me to plough ahead without one. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 15:42 10 June 2009
- The temptation I would have is to look at writing from a historical perspective, and specifically the perspective that it is the outdated precursor to word processing. Examine the way it has several similar features, but significantly more primitive - such as the ability to
deleteerase, almost removing all trace of the previous content, leaving the grey smear. Plus the ability to add "graphics" (ie doodles) of your own. Discuss different "fonts" (doctor's handwriting, teenage girl putting hearts over her "i"s, that kind of thing). Contrast the significant drawbacks in the format, the improvements and so forth - could be kind of fun. Of course, that's just my suggestion, you could completely ignore it and go your own way, but you asked, I answered! Looks like a good article to make that challenging move outside your comfort zone with - I wish you luck with it. --UU - natter 20:14, Jun 10- Hmm. I dunno. sounds kinda not-funny. But then what I've got isn't funny. encyclopedias aren't funny. I might actually just plough ahead with the vague ideas I've got and see what comes of them.

Also I've now had some sleep and have just realised that dream was not normal at all. So yeah, sorry to hear about your exceptionally bussy day though.

Thanks[edit source]
For the little point on my talk page. I don't know if I chose the right words there- maybe I can write, but I don't think I want to. Reviewing is enjoyable to me, as is maintaining PR- mainly because it's a simple task that I can accomplish very well. The main thing is, writing takes hours and hours of creativity and a good sense of humor, and reviewing only takes 5 boxes of good advice. I might be a good writer one of these days, but I don't think i'm there yet. I appreciate the advice- it gave me something to think about. Also, there are a couple of Ban Patrol entries that haven't been checked out- cheers! Saberwolf116 19:32, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting rid of that Cyberbully, but you edit conflicted me and I put one on the top. =P Saberwolf116 21:39, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah I did alot of reviewing first before I tore Insomnia out of my head. I think it helps to give the advice and then start writing once you've seen some of the other stuff. Although if you break up hours and hours of creativity into bursts of creativity it's a lot less exahausting. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 04:44 13 June 2009

June 11th, 2009 • Issue 51 • Also available in convenient suppository form!
"Uncyclopedia Worst, Boys Smelly" Declares User In a move that shocked the Uncyclopedia community, female user Kamikazewatermelon09 this week posted a topic in the lovable Pancake House of Benson. The shocking part of the incident was that an actual girl visited Uncyclopedia. Hooray! Our numerous virgin users can now cross off 'make contact with a woman (without giving a credit card number) over the internet, phone, or via smoke signal' from the list of steps towards achieving manhood. Though we can't help you with that face-to-face stuff...we hear that genre of contact is terrifying. The content of the post was too lengthy and riddled with cooties for the male, attention span deficient UnSignpost editors to actually read. Furthermore, the UnSignpost Executive Board refuses to add cootie insurance to the UnSignpost employee health plan. However, resident awesome potatochopper and known girl Sonje was recruited to read the message and react as if she had been asked a clever question by a hypothetical handsome UnSignpost reporter. From her exclusive comments, it seems that the topic poster was disappointed in the vulgarity and immaturity displayed by many of our gentlemen users. "I find the crassness rather endearing," Sonje responded, "in moderation." So, the moral of the story is: the users who really count will forgive us our occasional desire to cuss a blue streak or upload some boob-related images. So...go nuts! Cabal Criticism of the Week
This week, lead Cabalist Mordillo blocked The Wizard Of Oz with an expiry time of Judgement Day, and did not provide a reason for the epic pwning. We here at the UnSignpost would like to call out Mordillo on this lack of explanation. Not as a courtesy to the user, which he certainly did not earn through his insertions of a weird version of a California article into several unseeming places. No, we would like to know why Mordillo did not take advantage of an opportunity that was ripe with comedic potential. Surely this poor soul's username could have resulted in a ban reason referencing shiny red shoes or flying monkeys? A statement concerning the location of the user being a place that is not Kansas? We would have settled for a measly 'looking for a brain' line. But instead, you left us hanging, Mordillo. We'd like to officially call you on it, and we take comfort in knowing that though you can ban the editors, and you can ban our freedom, you can never ban the UnSignpost. Though, on second thought, you could delete it. |

I think I'm going crazy.
13:09, 12 June 2009 (UTC)I've just realised something that is utterly irrelivent but ultimately Course-of-history changing about you[edit source]
You were the 42nd winner of WotM. That means your like the meaning of life and stuff. Which is probably a good thing. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 19:30 12 June 2009
- On the other hand, the 42nd president of the USA was Bill Clinton. Make of that what you will... --UU - natter 12:23, Jun 14
WTF is inclined?[edit source]
What does the word "inclined" mean? 04:10, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- It's somewhere between "compelled" and "persuaded". if your inclined to do something you want to do it usually because of persuasion. e.g. I'm inclined to belive he ate all my damned oreos the fat fucker. Or at least that's my definition of it. Alteratively Dictionary.com may be slightly less falible than me. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 04:29 13 June 2009
- What does the word "antediluvian" mean? MR. SMARTY PANTS?? • <4:41 Jun 13, 2009>
- see here, it appears wikimedia was invented something called an "online dictionary". --Mn-z 04:53, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Two nights up straight with a crying baby[edit source]
I'm dead tired. Did I miss anything? 13:18, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- A lot of people commented on UU's talkpage. UU hasn't answered them as of yet. That's about it, I think.
- I got to the end of CSI:Miami, season one. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 16:18 13 June 2009
- I read a few pages in "Portnoy's Complaint" Weird book, btw • <16:33 Jun 13, 2009>
- A lot of people? A few, perhaps... Anyway, hi LPS, I was wondering when you'd drop by. You missed the usual maelstrom of activity that is Uncyc - folks got banned, shit got vandalised and fixed again, me, Cajek and Gerrycheevers had some kind of lobster war, Orian was seeking attention somewhere - the usual kind of thing. Did you have anything specific in mind? Sorry to hear you're still not getting any sleep, here's hoping the tot settles down and lets you have 40 winks sometime soon. --UU - natter 16:37, Jun 13
- huh you mention truoble sleeping and didn't link to insomnia!? You don't liek me anymore do you!? You're just too afraid to coem out and say it! Well fine! Fine! I know when I'm not wanted! ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 16:41 13 June 2009
- I didn't mean anything negative by that. "A lot" was probably exaggerated, yes.
- I almost caught some sleep. Then I was woken up again. I don't understand how some can deal with two jobs and a family and be all cheerful and chipper. I think they're all doing drugs... 02:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Next door's whelp is doing its best to help me empathise with you - mere walls are not enough to block out its penetrating din. However, I don't have to get out of bed and provide any form of ministrations, merely to roll over and swear a few times, so I'm obviously nowhere near! Looks like you're on to a good one for your pics BTW - Sonje knows what she's about, you'll get some good work from her when she gets time. How's that article coming along? --UU - natter 12:29, Jun 14
- After I got that review, I've hit complete writer's block. I guess tiredness and the occasional interruption do take a lot outta me. I'm hoping to be able to get some work done on it at some point. However it's an alarming thing to notice I've had four shots of espresso today and still can't keep my eyes open. And yes, I prefer tea, but need has dictated I get used to strong coffee. 14:04, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

A Very Belated Thanks For Your Review[edit source]
For donating high quality material to the Pee Review.
That review was awesome. It'll be very helpful when I get to fixing up the article some more.
22:53, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Thanks![edit source]
Thank you for supporting my recently featured article.
I, like, appreciate your support, or something.

Just wondering...[edit source]
I have 5 in-depth reviews already this month (6 overall), and I have a request to join PEEING that has not yet been fulfilled, do you think you could take care of that? It's Me Bitches! Don't worry, I won't kill you. 04:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- If you do have 6 in-depth then you'll already be on the members table (probably), we just haven't told you yet. Also lookie at my new sig! Orian57 Talk 05:00 14 June 2009
- Did you repent of your homosexuality or something? --Mn-z 05:26, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- ??? That's the pink Union Jack, celebrating both homosexuality and Great Britain at the same time. Fucking americans. Also do you like the updated sig, I just redid it. Orian57 Talk 05:30 14 June 2009
- Oh, look at that beautiful PEEING page with it's beautiful members and beautiful templates and that beautiful unanswered membership request... wait, that's MINE. Also, i've got a new sig too. Cunt (Talk to Cunt)
- And the sig? Looks great. (stifled laughs) Cunt (Talk to Cunt)
- God give him a chance, he's only just awake! Won't get into work until 9. And as you're adopter I'd advise you change teh sig to something a bit more subtle, I mean you're first was bad but this just looks like you're trying to be brash and offensive. Orian57 Talk 06:08 14 June 2009
- Shit it's a Sunday. If this was a week day he'd a been soo creeped out! Fuck! Orian57 Talk 06:10 14 June 2009
- Bleedin' hell, I wish I had so little to do I couldn't tell the difference between a sunday and a week day...! Anyway, yeah - I'll get there, I'm a busy man. Plus, weekends are when I go do other things, so I'm not so active here. Plus, have a little patience, would ya? Plus, slick new sig Orian. Plus, I'm not wild about your new sig, LLh3 - as well as just being offensive for the sake of it, you've not set it as a proper sig, so it doesn't come with a timestamp, and I don't like that. Looks like I woke up grouchy, huh? May I suggest changing that sig? Anyway, I'm off to find someone to ban now. --UU - natter 08:09, Jun 14

Hello[edit source]
i am here regarding this : "(are you from Leicester? If so, you have my sympathy - I can almost understand why you'd think swapping our article for Wikipedia's is funny - must be all the entertainment you can find, right?)" yes i am from leicester and this is bullying which is stupid if i could have an apology i would be grateful thanks Costly 14:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Dude that isn't bullying. it's not a personal attack on you it's a derogitory insinuation for the whole of Leicester. I'm sure you've made jokes about Scousers (You're from Liverpool aren't you, UU?) And it appears you were messing up the page, so if anyone should be apologising it's you. Orian57 Talk 14:26 14 June 2009
- NO ! NO ! UNDERUSER SHOULD APOGISE FOR BEING DISRESPECTFUL ! Costly 14:30, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- If you want respect, earn it. And don't shout at me. it's disrespectful. Orian57 Talk 14:40 14 June 2009
- Also don't ever edit peoples talk page messages. That's a bannable offence. Orian57 Talk 15:22 14 June 2009
- NO ! NO ! UNDERUSER SHOULD APOGISE FOR BEING DISRESPECTFUL ! Costly 14:30, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Pfft - bullying, hah! Bullying is making a personal comment about you. Taking the piss out of your city is not bullying. Particularly when it's so apt (I'm from Nottingham, actually, which probably explains a lot). Besides, you're the one who decided to replace the pagewith Wikipedia's - you may not have noticed, but we're not Wikipedia. So the page makes some jokes about Leicester. so what? Most of the people who live there have made some or all of those jokes themselves, because that's how most of the city articles get written - by residents. Look at Nottingham, where I'm from, or Leeds, where I grew up, or Norwich, where I live - not exactly complimentary articles, are they? Lighten up, make a few jokes of your own, but don't go calling that bulling! --UU - natter 20:56, Jun 14
- Nottingham. That's like middle england, I wouldn't that The North. Also how is there a difference between where you live and where you're from? Or is Norwich some sort of suburb of Nottisngham or something? My geography is really terible though, and I don't properly understand how real cities work (my nearest city (100 and something miles away) is Inverness and you probably haven't evern heard of that). Orian57 Talk 21:19 14 June 2009

I Have Lost all Faith in British Television.[edit source]
I was just flicking through the TV mag when I came across the title "Casualty 1909" and yes it is exactly what I feared, it's Casualty -- set in 1909! I mean fucks sake! That sounds like something than an UnCyclopedian would come up with! But they're actually putting it on TV! As a fucking period drama -- On the BBC no less! I am outraged! I blame this on the lack of Dr Who this year... Although what do you think of Heartbeat 2012? Orian57 Talk 19:26 14 June 2009
- I think that could be a great article, if you get it going - although those pesky foreigners wouldn't know what Heartbeat is, it's practically a self-parody as it is, so they should get the idea of the quainte olde Englande stylings, particularly if you give them some kind of anachronistic "modern" twist. I lost all faith in TV generally a while ago. There's a "Top 5 picks" app on Facebook, and when it came to naming my favourite 5 current TV shows, I struggled like anything. The paper, a good book, a DVD, a game, and this website are all miles ahead of TV these days in my entertainment preferences. Now if you'll excuse me, some kids have kicked a ball into my yard, I'm going to have to go confiscate it and then glare through my window at them in a disapproving fashion. --UU - natter 21:02, Jun 14
- Geeze, why don't you just put a knife in it while you're there. As for TV in general I wouldn't say it was a total loss, but then I'm not old enough to pine after "The Old Days" yet. Although Skins, Shameless and Dr Who are the only things I really go out of my way to watch. I'm pretty much like you otherwise, I mean an issue of The Guardian alone is reading enough for a month. And yeah, I might do that as an UnScript, maybe. I'll see if I can get some ideas together for it then come back for your approval. Orian57 Talk 21:12 14 June 2009
- Oh, I'm slightly worse than that - I don't pine for the good old days, I don't believe there were any good old days. The odd decent show, perhaps, but the majority of TV has pretty much always been terrible. The number of high quality shows around today is probably about the same as ever, but they're a lot harder to find amongst all the dross. Oh god, I'm sounding like a pensioner, aren't I? And the fact that I'm off now for an early night isn't going to help either. It's just a shame I can't retire, because not working might make putting up with the rest of it seem worthwhile! G'night. --UU - natter 21:19, Jun 14

Guess what?[edit source]
I finally decided to write something! It's a little rough right now, but I was wondering if you might want to review it for me. Saberwolf116 23:42, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well that's a sudden leap from the conversation we had earlier, isn't it? Orian57 Talk 23:44 14 June 2009
- I suppose it is. I figured i'd better get it out of the way right now. Saberwolf116 23:45, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, the first is always the hardest. But it's like with constipation you get the first big shit out the way you're arse gets all loosed up for the rest to just slide out. Orian57 Talk 23:49 14 June 2009
- Give my a fly-by review. What do you think of it? Saberwolf116 23:50, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oh but that'd involve reading it, wouldn't it? Was just trying to finish up one of my current progects while I was in the mood. Maybe in a bit, ok? Orian57 Talk 23:52 14 June 2009
- Suit yourself. I was just hoping someone would take a look at it. Saberwolf116 23:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- I will try if I get some decent reviewing time, but can't promise. Reviewing time is different from admin time - I can ban a 'tard in a few seconds, but a review takes me at least 30 minutes solid, and I don't know when I'll next have that much time free. I'll get to it eventually, but you may run out of patience by then, because we could be talking days rather than hours. --UU - natter 11:38, Jun 15

OK, new stuff![edit source]
I feel I'm earning my WotM nom now. I re-wrote Writing, what do you think? Featurable? And I also started that Heartbeat 2012 thing as un UnScript. Do you think the introduction is good, like, both funny and good for introducing Heartbeat to those unfamiliar? I mean I'm probably gonna ignore the fact it's a police drama (mostly because the last time I watched it, it wasn't. It was a drama with policemen in it.) Orian57 Talk 02:29 15 June 2009
- A quick glance says they both look decent - I'll have a proper look later, when I get more time, but I thought you'd like to know I wasn't ignoring your question. ;-) --UU - natter 11:40, Jun 15
- Yay! You're getting used to my paranoid neurosis! But I mean "decent"? is that all? Orian57 Talk 15:54 15 June 2009
- OK, I like Writing - it's a good "encyclopedic" article, and as such, a pleasure to see. Feature? Don't know - while it's a good read, I'm not sure it contains enough "lols" for "the kids" these "days". But please don't despair - for one, I may be wrong (it has been known) and for two, I think it shows your growing skill as a writer (plus I suspect you may have learned a thing or two from writing it, which can't be bad). So, there you go. As for the Heartbeat thing, it's a promising start - I like the shape of it. Take the backwards thing to real extremes though - don't just settle for rejecting phones, spectacles are "dangerously modern" perhaps, giving you some short-sightedness based slapstick. Really go to town and have fun. (I'm sure you will anyway, you have a good eye for the absurd). I look forward to reading it when you've made more progress, and possibly added a few more pics! --UU - natter 21:41, Jun 15
- By "feature?" I only meant would you vote for it? I'm hoping to get a pee review for it soon though, and then go back to it (tend to try and leave stuff for a little while before going back for a final polish (think I've mentioned that before)) But decent I suppose is good. And the Heartbeat thing I'm actually really getting into (may even have to turn the talk page into a "deleated scenes easter egg"!) Glad of you're advice I think we're thinking along similar lines. I'll leave a note when I get done (proabably quite soon) And yeah more pictures will happen, I only got sonje to make me that one before I forgot the idea. Generally I like to have the main body of the article before cluttering it up with pics, kinda like that movie with the baseball field; It had to be build before the decoration could be added.

Hey Papa[edit source]
I tweaked it a bit, any feedback? I'm trying to slowly overcome my writer's block, and figured out how to borrow the code for tip boxes. -- 09:56, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well now, that is a definite improvement, and I enjoyed reading it through. It's definitely getting there now - some bits made me giggle. It still needs a couple more pics, but the ones you do have are a good start, and hopefully Sonje will help you further shortly. I hope you don't mind the tiny spelling tweaks I made - I'm a little OCD like that. And stealing code is the only way any of us learn to add anything, so well done on continuing that proud tradition! I'd say carry on along those lines a little more, and you'll have yourself a very good article. Kudos! --UU - natter 10:51, Jun 15
- I sometimes wonder at why non-native English speakers are more fluent in English than some native speakers. A mystery to remain unsolved, I'm sure. I'd be in the mood for trying out a new article, but can't think of anything yet. Maybe it'll come to me eventually... Maybe I'll submit it for a real, scored pee review by the end of the week, if I manage to get my sorry little behind to it. -- 11:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Non-native speakers are taught "correct" forms of English, and don't tend to have the corrupted forms of the language that pass for everyday speech around them to confuse the issue and give them different ideas. So their formal English and grammar tends to be of a higher standard. Where as we natives spend time every day conversing with people who butcher the language appallingly, and often grow up to believe quite appalling grammar is correct as a result. That's a really boring answer, but it's a fairly accurate one. also, I just saw the review you got - I think you're unlucky with that one, it's an inexperienced reviewer, and I don't think they got what you were aiming for, necessarily. I still think it is a decent article with the potential to be very good, and I urge you not to be put off, but to keep refining it. Would you object if I make a few changes myself later this week, if I find the time? (I won't if you don't want me to, I don't want to mess with your baby, so to speak!) --UU - natter 21:50, Jun 15
- I won't object to any improvements made by you, since I think you're sensible enough to grasp the overall idea behind the article. As comes to the review, I asked Orian on their talk page if they could still bother writing a review. I asked for a review from a PEEING member believing it would get me a quality review, so I'm a tad stumped by what I got. -- 23:43, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe I'll submit it for a real, scored pee review by the end of the week, if I manage to get my sorry little behind to it. -- 11:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

would you kindly do me a favor and use your handy-dandy admin powers to move our latest colonization to its place at Singapore? i'm not sure i can do it without being able to delete a redirect, or something, and last time i tried to move pages i got throttled and made mordillo sad. thanks! 13:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

- Most colonisations I can see have just been copy/pasted over the old articles, and I don't see a case for deleting the old versions before putting this one in, so I'd recommend doing the same. If there is a good reason for a huff and shunt, I'm listening. --UU - natter 14:50, Jun 15

- Personally, I think it's better like that. You huff the original. Move the new one over the top. Huff that also, and then restore the entire page. Magically the page history is merged and you get both. I'm sure this breaks most of the "rules" for Wikipedia but I think it's OK for us. Obviously I may be wrong about this... MrN 15:36, Jun 15

I don't really 'chop any more since I got a different laptop from the office with less image editing software on it, but I think your chances of getting an image from Sonje or one of the other 'choppers have significantly improved.

I bring offerings of freshly baked cupcakes[edit source]
I realise I stepped out of line with that kid's user page, but I also think that though I feel quite a bit sorry for lashing out like that after having slept over it, the original reason for me losing my patience with the kid remains. He delivered critique bluntly without "adding the sugar". To quote one of the good old Nanny™ types, Mary Poppins, "A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down". I feel so old compared to the majority of internet users. It drives me insane sometimes. I'm approaching the age where I could be legally their mother. Quite depressing today. -- 11:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Don't worry, we've all been there once or twice. I've been on both ends of reviews that were less than encouraging, and I know how annoying it can be. I also sympathise with the age thing, being old enough to be at least one of their creepy uncles or something. Honestly, you'd think people had never heard of common courtesy! Anyway, don't let it put you off - I really don't think you're very far off a very good article (and I have a little more experience than LLh3). I'll see if I can make a few helpful tweaks when I find some time, but I do think you're doing fine by yourself! --UU - natter 11:21, Jun 17

That we have quite a Pee Review backlog. I'll still do my review later today, but do you have any ideas to encourage people to review? Saberwolf116 16:26, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- 23 reviews is hardly a backlog. in fact, i was impressed that there's nothing older than 2 weeks molding over at the bottom of the queue...it isn't unusual to see stuff get untouched for months down there. there's really no way to force the queue down or make people review, or at least none that we've thought of yet. 16:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

You do a little gaming?[edit source]
That Uncyc survey is teaching more than I ever wanted to know about my fellow Uncyclopedians! What kinda gaming are you into? Any MMO's? -OptyC Sucks! CUN17:59, 18 Jun
- No he likes space operas. Which sounds a little suspect to me. Yeah, I went there. Orian57 Talk 18:02 18 June 2009
- MMOs? Nah, I'm too mean to fork out for XBox gold, and my home PC isn't so much of a gaming machine... I tend to play solo stuff I can get lost in - Zelda, Mass Effect, that kind of thing. Plus Rock Band (or I did until my XBox stopped recognising the disc - it still works in other XBoxes, just not mine...) and the like. I'm looking forward to Mass Effect 2 and the Beyond Good & Evil sequel. I'd kinda like to do some proper online gaming, but I never got into Halo or Gears, so I'd be shite at them online, and I don't really own any other games that can be played online, so I'm saving my money! Oh, and I like my retro games, being as that was really my era anyway. Speedball 2 being put on Live Arcade made my year last year. Ice Cream! Ice Cream! What kinda stuff are you into, Opty? --UU - natter 10:34, Jun 19
- It sounds like we have remarkably similar tastes. I like primarily solo stuff as well, particularily GTA and Guitar Hero. Gears is the most fun I've ever had playing a shooter, but for the most part I stay away from those as well. The only reason I asked about MMO's is because we just got ourselves a new machine so the wifey could play Sims 3, and I could play EVE online. It's the first and last MMO I'll ever play and I was just trying to feel out if any Uncyclopedians might be into it as well. It'd be super fun to get an Uncyc comedy team together some night just to irritate anybody taking it too seriously. -OptyC Sucks! CUN14:17, 19 Jun

- Oddjob? But he's so perfectly sized for repeated headshots. My mate always used to play as him and could never understand why I always wiped the floor with him! I would, if it were online, take you up on that claim, Mr Cheevers, as Goldeneye is one of the few shooters I consider myself worth a damn at. Back in the days, my 3 flatmates would all gang up on me, and I'd still take 'em all down. God, that makes me so nostalgic - oh, for someone to play at it right now! I do like the sound of an Uncyc team wreaking havoc on a po-faced MMO, Opty, but I doubt I'll ever manage to be part of one - my machine creaks along so alarmingly it's painful. Guess I'll have to go shoot more Geth in the face instead. --UU - natter 15:28, Jun 19
- true about oddjob, but we usually play license to kill which renders direct headshots and grazing leg hits to be equal. i've had many of my proudest moments playing goldeneye and fending off three other players, but my proudest overall was beating out three of my friends in a 3-v-1 starfox 64 battle in which i was the lone pedestrian. viva peppy! 15:42, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

- Well, I have a day off, which I am enjoying immensely. And I need it badly - there's a lot of family shit going down right now, and I'm having to be a rock for Mrs UU, who is having something of an emotional rollercoaster. And while I'm naturally happy to do that, add it to the fact that work is still insanely busy and has been for months, and I am getting perilously close to burn-out. No joke. So having an actual day to myself is fucking brilliant. I'm going to go shoot some Geth shortly, as a little therapy, and then get myself out into some sunshine. I may even try to write something over this weekend, we'll see. Perhaps I'll put Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever" on my mp3 player... ;-) --UU - natter 10:41, Jun 19
- How I envy thee! (for the Geth and day off, not for the rest). Also, did you know that Mass Effect 2 won the E3 role playing game of the year, 9 months before it's being launched?!?! ~ 11:00, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- I have the day off too. Although that's sort of the default at the minute... There genuinely isn't much I can do around here, and I'm starting to wish I had money, like real stuff, because I'd actually like to do something this year (I'd actually quite like to see london, Maybe for Pride but I said that I'd save for that last year and didn't).
- Don't burn out UU! Although I must say you do seem to be around a lot during office hours for someone whose "insanely busy" Or by that do you just mean "markedly more busy than before"? And I hope to see a UU article soon, They're UUsUUally pretty good.
- Sunshine? It's a bit cloudy.
- Pass on my best wishes to Mrs UU, hope it all sorts itself out soon! Orian57 Talk 11:03 19 June 2009
- Around a lot during office hours? I generally take a look in while waiting for stuff to compile or copy up - hence the occasional burst of frenzied activity, but at sporadic intervals. I don't normally get more than a minute or two at a time, so don't do anything involved, like writing, but I do get time to ban 'tards and generally try to take some of the maintenance work off ol' Jewstar there in the hope that he'll have time to write more instead! And as to Mordillo's comment about Mass Effect - I didn't see that, that's pretty cool! But I have been reading quite a bit about it, and the more I hear, the more I like. There's talk of a Geth being one of your crew - that could be interesting... --UU - natter 11:10, Jun 19

The Newspaper With No Ambitions, Goals, Hopes or Dreams!
June 18th, 2009 • Issue 52 • Thinly sliced news, between two slices of humor, with lettuce and hollandaise sauce
Votes for Sandwiches Officially Opens This week, Votes for Sandwiches was established by Uncyclopedia Internetist and Lead Executive of Sandwiches, Spang. Previously some sort of secret cabal hazing page, lead cabalists have thrown the doors of VFS open to reveal thinly sliced meats on a variety of breads. Or they would have, if the cabal existed, which it doesn't. Official Cabal Spokesman Mordillo exclusively explained the new feature best: "The cabal, as part of its never-ending efforts to assert its all-consuming control over the citizenry, has now introduced voting for sandwiches. Each editor will be required to eat the elected sandwiches for the entire following month. Members of the cabal will closely observe voter's decisions to make sure that no vile sandwiches, such as BAKED BEANS ON TOAST WITH MELTED CHEESE, will be chosen. That's just vile. Editors will not be allowed to protest over the "democratically" "chosen" "sandwich". We're not Iran." Reactions to the new voting page were mixed. Some users were excited for the opportunity to express their fondness towards various lunches, provided that those lunches are a sandwich. "I'm glad that sandwiches, a comedy staple due to their low-priced nature and assembly so simple that even a writer can construct one, are finally getting their due on Uncyclopedia," said resident criminology term Modusoperandi. Others were not so supportive of the move, and point to recent disturbing trends since the introduction of VFS, the most disturbing being the raiding of the fridge in the Uncyclopedia break room and the subsequent theft of all sandwiches. Well, maybe not all sandwiches, but one specifically marked "gerry's. do not eat." So far no group has claimed responsibility for this act of sandwich-related terrorism. I will find you, you little punk! And when I do, you're making me another sandwich! Comebacks! Only $19.95! Call Now!
Following a month and a half hiatus, resident VFD overlord and prince of pants MrN9000 is alleged to have returned to the wiki. According to reliable sources, MrN was spotted responding to his talk page and maintaining QVFD, among various other tasks. What other things he may do remains to be seen. We do know, however, that he has been welcomed warmly by the community, with Mordillo giving him the brand new nickname "fucker" and various users bestowing an award of reliability on him. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Call Now And Get 2 for the Price Of 1!
Following in MrN's robotically symmetrical footsteps was noted keyboard component SysRq. After many weeks of inactivity, Sys has returned to once again putter the Imperial Colonization ship around Uncyclopedia Harbor. He has described his goals as "re-assimilate as best I can" and "Go to hell, Dex". We would like to welcome both of these users back to the loving Uncyclopedia family, and urge them to GET BACK TO WORK!! Things Brewing In IRC People are yelling at each other, stalking each other, and randomly talking to one another. What I am talking about is, of course, IRC, the highly controversial melting pot of Uncyclopedia, where users of all stands, races, and levels of activity can talk about unimportant issues. It has recently come to our attention that ruthless battles were being fought on the fields of IRC. Our correspondent decided to check things out for himself. He was confronted with gay dinosaurs, Star Wars references and general dickery. Though this one time visit cannot render a clear view of the complex nature of IRC, it might give us a glimpse into the mind of the common IRCer. The dark, mysterious character of IRC remains. |

Web 4.0[edit source]
Web 4.0, which you huffed earlier today, was voted for deletion in November of 2006, but I received enough support on the original vote to refurbish it and the refurbished version was reposted at that point. If there was a new discussion to delete it, then you were well within your rights to do so, but to my knowledge there was no such discussion after 2006. I'm sorry to be taking up your time, but I just want to make sure that Web 4.0 receives due Uncyclopedia process.--Astrofreak92 20:59, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

But I digress - that has become one of my favourite articles, and the one I've most enjoyed having an inpout (I like that typo so much it stays) into. --UU - natter 15:23, Jun 22
- Did you know that before I started contributing to this article I barely thought about lobsters more than once a day? • <15:30 Jun 22, 2009>

Could you possibly pee on this? I don't really want anything too in depth, just some of my questions answered. Or you could not, and giggle at me as you drive away.... Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 21:01, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- Honestly, right now I can't - the hour has just ticked past, meaning Mrs UU's show has just finished, and she wants an early night. And she needs one, she's all kinds of tired at the moment. Let's see... football training tomorrow night... If it's still on the pee queue wednesday evening, I promise to give it my full, undivided attention. If that's too long to wait, try Saberwolf, he's generally got time! --UU - natter 21:06, Jun 22

Heidi and Spencer (huffed)[edit source]
As per the comments that were stuck in there when I last edited it, this was done before I learnt HTBFANJS - or at least in part. The death of this page is not something that anyone will mourn. Especially as I went back to fix it up, did a little research on who these people were, and now I wish I could have those brain cells back. (Or is it Neurons that I've lost?)

Deletion[edit source]
Im done with some userspaces and stuff, but I need to know how to delete them, like do i need a tab or something?--Iwillkillyou333 00:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well yeah, to delete pages you need the special admin tabs. However, a close second best is QVFD - go there, list the pages on there in the same way other pages are listed, add the magic words "author request" after them, and watch as an admin struts their funky stuff. --UU - natter 08:17, Jun 23
Regarding the redirect link on Rouge the Bat[edit source]
I have finished my article. The link is here: User:Joe9320/Rouge the Bat. Can you move it to mainspace please? The mainspace article is currently locked and I couldn't move it because I'm not an adimn. Thanks. 09:38, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Wikia error, or something?[edit source]
Every time I edit it's coming up with a giant blue banner telling me there's some sort of fatal server error or something. And yet my edits are still showing up in RC, What the fuck's going on? and is there anyway to get rid of this pointless error warning, so I don't have to relay through the most convenient link pathway I know to get back to what I was doing?

- No! I am not him! I walk by his house going to work every day, and sometimes he sees me and asks me to do a little work around the house. And then that day, as I was coming back from work, he told me he had an old chifferobe that he needed cut up. So I went in his house, and I said "Where is this chifferobe you need cuttin' up, Mr. Ahmadinejad?" and he.... he started getting real close to me. He said he had given all of the children a nickle to go get some ice cream in town, and I said it was real nice of him, to give the children a treat like that, but I still needed to know where the chifferobe was that needed to be chopped up. But all of a sudden, before I knew it, he was all over me, and brought me in for a kiss. I pushed him away, but all of a sudden I heard cursing coming from the back door, and Mr. Ahmadinejad's father had come back from the fields, and he wadn't too happy. Well, I just turned my back and ran outta that house as fast as I could. I never touched that Iranian President none, and I never hit him, and I never raped him. And that's what happened.

Pee Review help[edit source]
Hey, UU. It seems that a new user, Thomasfan666, did about 7 shitty reviews with no content last night. Do you have any words for him? Saberwolf116 15:10, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I added my words to everyone else's - I try to be more encouraging, as you should recall. If the guy's going to do 7 reviews, he may respond to encouragement by becoming a decent reviewer - so keep the message friendly and so forth, and if he does it again, then get tough. --UU - natter 15:57, Jun 25
- OK, I just did something I never did before: I reverted his last 4 reviews, which were just as bad. I know that we're not supposed to revert reviews, but they were of no help at all, and they are wasing the writers' time. If I was wrong, feel free to revert them back. Saberwolf116 18:01, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well, in the past we've let people either revert or request new reviews depending on how they feel, but those were so crap I don't think it's a major deal. I've made a stronger representation on his talk page than you did this time - I'm nice first time, but if I'm ignored, things get ugly! Let me know if he does another, I'll take care of him. --UU - natter 19:58, Jun 25

Hi[edit source]
You seem to be the fountain of knowledge for all things...um...useful, so how do I move an article into the mainspace? I don't want to do it yet, but eventually (once finished) would like to move this User:Nameable/Corn Flakes to just Corn Flakes. Plus, I really like the Lobster article, which I believe you collab'd on. It's great!Nameable • mumble? 20:30, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Plus plus, this takes a long time to scroll down. Time for an archive maybe? (And I check people's spelling too!) Nameable • mumble? 20:33, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well now, if you want to move an article, there are several approaches, depending on whether or not there is an existing article of that name in mainspace. They are:
- If there is no such article: either use the "move" tab on the userpage to move it to mainspace, and list the redirect that leaves behind on QVFD, or just copy/paste the code from your userspace version, and create the mainspace page with it, then list your userspace page on QVFD. They're not massively dissimilar methods, I suppose, it just depends if you want to preserve the page history (first option) or not (second one).
- If there is an existing article: start by getting a pee review and asking for an opinion on whether or not it's an improvement. Also, check if the original author is still active and ask if they mind you shifting a rewrite in place of their stuff. If it's agreed that your new version is the nuts, then either copy/paste your code over the existing page in one edit, and do the QVFD thing with your userpage, which again loses all the history of your version, or ask an admin to delete the old page, move your version in, then delete and recreate it, which melds the histories of the page together so all versions are preserved.
- I think that covers it. And I'm glad you like Lobster - I had fun watching Cajek and Gerry write the funny stuff on that while I added some padding. As to an archive, I only did one a week or so ago - maybe I'll go all Spang on it this time... However, I am going to have to finish by drawing your attention to the "no whoring" warning in large, colourful letters at the top of this page. If I hadn't already voted on that, it'd be an automatic silent abstain (ie no vote) as a result. Please don't do it again. --UU - natter 20:44, Jun 25
