User talk:Void Raven
Welcome![edit source]
Here are some links to see if you have the time:
- Beginner's Guide
- Our Vanity Policies - why we don't care about your friends
- How to be funny and not just stupid
There are more of them, but those three are the most important.
Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button () above the edit box. This will automatically produce your name and the date. If you don't, we'll have to go to the history to discover who made the edit, and add a template for it. It's a lot of researching, dude.
When you create an article, please make an encyclopedic subject; don't do an article about how you and your friend had a pillow fight or about that teacher you really hate gave you an F on your math test. It is best to start by creating them in your userspace, for example: User:Void Raven/Insert Title Here. Please remember to follow the guidelines and don't be upset if your article gets deleted if you do not. If you are writing an article in mainspace, however, and you are not finished yet, put a {{construction}} template on it.
However, wrtiting articles is not a top priority. Many users like to dedicate to reverting, coding, and moderating. So don't feel pressured to write articles.
If you need help, or just feel like talking to someone, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Or, if you're really confused, drop into the adoption place and you'll get adopted by one of these fine fellows. Cool, huh?
We want you to have a fun time here, so don't feel under pressure because we're all nice people.Welcome[edit source]
Hi, Void Raven, welcome here! I see that you are right in the middle of one hell of an editing rampage. I saw your comment on The Killer Froggy's page about communicating, do you still need help with that? Well one thing would be to write at the bottom of people's talk pages, that's where they'll look first. Also, you should sign your posts using 4 tildes (~). Talk to Lollipop for anything about your signature. Again, welcome to Uncyclopedia and you can answer me below this message, I'll know you answered and will come back to read it.

Hey thanks for that, it is most certainly handy to be able to communicate with mods - I think things are sweet (for now), although it would be useful to know ways of improving my humor and formatting things on here so that I get it right first time around...
- Well I am not a mod, I saw your writing and think it is good, remember humor is the key, facts are secondary, although I myself like to mix facts with fiction in my articles. Also, do you know how to type this sign ~? It's gonna come in handy when talking to people, voting on stuff, so on. You hold the button "Alt Gr" and hit the ~ sign. I didn't even know how to sign on wikis until like 8 months ago, so don't feel bad, but try it. :) And don't get depressed over anything, when you're gonna know how to communicate with people that communicate with you, (and sign) you'll be fine. There is also a lot of good links on the above message (the 1st one) on humor and stuff. Just click the colored text (the text that is not red, I guess the guy that sent you the welcome message tried to be stylish and stuff lol) Mattsnow 05:44, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
- That was me that sent the welcome message. I went pro Canadian for a week. -- Lollipop - 06:04, 17 June 2011
Hey there[edit source]
Hi,i'm Lollipop,the fellow that welcomed you. You seem to be an interesting writer here, but there's a few issues we need to talk about.
The first issue is signing your posts. Sooner or later, Uncyclopedians will have to come face to face with another user. You chat on talkpages. For example, my talkpage. You leave new messages at the bottom of the page (unless it's Yettie's talkpage, but he's rarely around anymore). When you chat, you have to sign your posts. When you edit, there's a button that looks like this: . Do you see it there? At the end of every message you put, you click that button.
Read this: Uncyclopedia:Sign your posts or DIE!, it will help you a lot.
Cheers.

Hello![edit source]
I have just nommed you on the Noob of the Month thing, I read your article growling and I like it. Do you still have some interrogations I could help you with? Do you know how to sign yet? Just leave me a message here anyway. I hope you read the above messages I sent ya! Mattsnow 02:34, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
Hihi
Thanks for that. Just finished a piece about my favorite vocalist Andrew Eldritch. Feel free to look it over.
That signing thing, if I read correct is simply: D-Void 03:44, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
- I have not read it yet, since I myself write stuff, but a lot slowlier (it's a word) than you. Your output is so phenomenal I am afraid the cameras in the ceiling can't keep up! Your signature is ok now, as it shows who you are and the time, but you should tweak it so that it is your real name that shows up: Void Raven As I don't know shit about signatures, you should go to Lollipop's talk page and ask him, he'll be glad to make one for you, I am sure! He made mine. Just go there to leave this bastard a message with your current signature. User Talk:Lollipop Ask him to reply on your Talk page if you still don't know how to see if somebody answered you on other people's pages. I feel you like it here Void Raven, but remember: quality is privileged over output or facts. But I wouldn't have put your name on NotM if I did not feel you were worthy. 2 small things:
- You are so much of a prolific writer, I wonder why your messages are so succinct, since you have some stuff to learn about the formatting of the wiki and a guy who is willing to show you (or at least redirect you to ressources to help you.) Meaning errr. ME!
- You may not know it, but I am sure people know about you and are saying: Who the hell is this guy? I'm sure people see you have great potential (I, for one, do since I take the time here to help.)You are all over the Recent Changes (link to the left of the screen in a small box). It is to your advantage to seek help. Like let's do a test: Try to reply to my message on my talk page by clicking the snowflake on my signature and leaving a message at the bottom of the page. If you can't do that, just reply here. And are you a goth? LOL Cheers buddy, awaiting answer wherever it's gonna pop-up. Mattsnow 04:17, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
- You have passed the test LOL, now, since you replied on my TP (Talk Page), you can see if I have replied on it by going to either 'my contributions' or 'my watchlist' at the upper right of your screen. If it doesn't say (top) to the right of the page you wrote, it means something happened there (It may be an answer to you or somebody else wrote something there). Also, when you go writing on some guy's talk page or yours, use : when startin a message (you'll se it when you go on the edit screen) If the previous guy wrote following :::(3) , then start your message with ::::(4). It creates a "distance" which makes it easier to see there is a message from a different person. As you said, going on the "edit" thing to see how you can copy what you just saw on that page is the greatest way to learn. As I told you for the sig, I am incapable of helping you but Lollipop will, I left you the link earlier. I am gonna send him a little message saying he should help you. Deal? Answer me here.

Hey sure that would be great... D-Void 04:59, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
??? ¿¿¿ ??? ¿¿¿[edit source]
I thought I would say hi...cause we have never said hi to each other and seeing as we are both contributing to a humour website....that we just shouldnt be lurking around not having said Hi to each other. Im the kind of person you can depend on to maybe do stuff if you ask and to maybe vote for your stuff if its good and to like...read your stuff if there is any motivation or links or reason to read it. Also I promise Ive never had sex with your mom and that if you are from Nigeria, I don't hold that agaisnt you. Im not one of those anti-nigerians who make fun of nigerians for the poor, corrupt beggars that they are. You are cool with me if you are a poor corrupt nigerian beggar. So...hi!! --ShabiDOO 21:03, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
Hmmmmmmmm[edit source]
You seem to be a very interesting fellow. We will meet again. /exits occultly Aleister 20:12 22-6-'11
