Welcome![edit source]Hello Whyamidoingthis, and welcome to Uncyclopedia! Thank you for registering an account. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If not, the door's right over there... no, a little more to your left... Yes. You seem to have a sense of humor, but to be sure that it corresponds to the kind of humor that is accepted on this site, I suggest checking out the following links:
Now that that's out of the way, just continue reading and you'll notice some more links. These ones are about help in general:
At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but I do recommend it, it can be quite enjoyable, and it's a good chance to let others take notice of your writing. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:Whyamidoingthis/Article about stuff) so you can edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done put the "Work-In-Progress" template - {{construction}} - onto it as well. If you want to write and don't know where to begin, consider browsing our rewrite and idea categories. There's also a page with requested articles, if you'd rather start from scratch. We have lots of articles and red links just sitting around waiting to be edited, so don't be afraid - dive right in! If you need help, ask me on my talkpage, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talkpage. Additionally, the Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced editors straight to you. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to join. I hope you enjoy editing here and being an Uncyclopedian, and remember: Have fun with it. We're all here to have a good time and a good laugh. Please sign your name on talkpages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button () above the edit box. Again, welcome!

Hi there[edit source]
I took a look at your two articles and removed some content. You don't need the disclaimers on the top of your articles, if people don't know that stuff on Uncyclopedia isn't true they will learn quickly enough. For a new user, your articles are good, but they aren't quite up to par with articles that most people who agree belong in mainspace. If you're going to continue to work on them while they're in mainspace it's fine to keep them there, but most users here will put their articles that they're working on in their userspace (which you can't do yet, but soon.) If you want you can ask someone (like me,) to move your article(s) into your userspace and they'll show up on the page User:Whyamidoingthis/Jonah or User:Whyamidoingthis/The Romanovs depending on which article it is.
I don't want to discourage you, because, like I said you're stuff is really good for someone just starting out. Also, I should let you know that almost everyone's first articles get deleted. Mine did and I've heard countless other established users' stories about their first articles getting deleted. The fact that you're articles are still in main space without an {{ICU}} tag on them shows that you definitely have a future on this site. Good luck and all that. 20:27, 6 April 2011
- Or you could do what I did, and make a vanity article about the admin that deleted your articles...not a good idea. -- Lollipop 21:02, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, Lollipop they didn't delete it, and they are not an admin either, they are simply annoying. I know my articles aren't perfect. I thought about just deleting what they wrote from the page...but I just set up the talk page in a nice way which does nothing against the rules, though it singles them out completely. I think I did a rather nice job. --Purple&Pink 21:13, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah...please don't steal my sig. If you want real lollipops, you order here. -- Lollipop 21:22, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
- Lol, srry, i wasn't really stealing it, i was replying, i have mine own, in fact i was just working with a second one. --WhyAmIDoingThis? 21:30, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

- thanks, i was looking and didn't see anything...you must have already done it, where did i screw up? --WhyAmIDoingThis? 21:38, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

romanovs[edit source]
I am jumping in here, completely uninvited. I happened across your request for feedback, and thought I would give you my idea on how to deICU your article.
Images Images Images
I have taken it upon myself to find you an amusing romanov image
Because humor is so subjective, and we all write in different styles, I will not even attempt to tell you how to write your article. But my impression is, its irreverency as humor as opposed to misdirection. I do not have much brain cells devoted to the Romanovs. But I would suggest adding a section on Rasputin, and his sway over the family. I would also pretend to be confused between the Romanovs and perhaps Ray Romano, or Anne Romano from TV's Everybody Loves Raymond, and One day at a Time, respectively, or even Romano cheese. But I am not writing this article but thats how I would approach it. And again, I do not think I could stress Rasputin enough, he is funny looking enough to distract from the truthiness. Best of luck. K3vin-Yak-Bak MUN,CM,NS 06:37, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
- You seemed ok with it, so I jazzed it up a bit. I went with a sexual innuendo on the horse thing. But did not make it too puerile. (thats what she said) I also added another fake line to the family. I will come up with some rasputin stuff after my drs appointment this afternoon. Cheers. I will help with Jonah too, if you want. That is if you like what I have done so far. K3vin-Yak-Bak MUN,CM,NS 15:14, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks a bunch, i don't mind wot u did...n' help with anything is always appreciated if u wanna help w/ Jonah...--WhyAmIDoingThis?
- well I am done with romonovs until I add Rasputin. I will ?ify Jonah soon. I am on a quest to complete one requested article a day, and only have my opening paragraph, so I want to get to that. K3vin-Yak-Bak MUN,CM,NS 18:42, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
- thats fine i'm too busy fighting with my sig's code to care rite now...--WhyAmIDoingThis?
- It looks like editors have taken an constructive interest in The Romanovs, and looks like it is going to "stick". --KLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 22:38, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

that weird space[edit source]
that space you call weird is differently abled and just because i likes to sit between am a and an n it shouldn't risk deletion by some n00b K3vin-Yak-Bak MUN,CM,NS 03:23, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
the userbox "sticker" did it. if you go to the source of that template, you will see it adds a category tooK3vin-Yak-Bak MUN,CM,NS 03:55, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hi.[edit source]
Please stop editing that sig. I don't care if you're just messing with me; if you don't know how it works, don't change it, please. I don't need the grey hairs. ~ 22:45, 9 April 2011
- Also, seriously, it's subst:nosubst| with normal signatures. If you're still using the peaches one, please fix it. ~ 23:03, 9 April 2011

Your vision of a unicorn Romanov family business[edit source]
I have sporked a copy of your original Romanov article and sent it to a glorious and nonsensical life at Illogopedia. Feel free to edit it, registered or not. If you edit without registering, just make extra certain they look to be constructive edits. If an admin finds a lot of trial and error by an IP anon editor, they may jump to the conclusion that it is a vandal. --KLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 04:46, April 16, 2011 (UTC)
Another impersonator. Sigh.[edit source]
Hmm, another impersonator of me. You might want to know none of the rest of them lasted long. Have a nice day. User:Why do I need to provide this?/sig1 currently seen here mostly as King of the Internet Alden Loveshade??? (royal court) 05:39, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
Jonah[edit source]
I have been editing Jonah as well, added an info box, and some nonesense details which put Jonah on his quest to get away from god. --KLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 19:21, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
- It looks fine but the first sentence is really screwed up... PeaChess (Chat) 19:29, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
too bad there is not some way to fix that, just as easy as writing on a talk page, maybe some day--KLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 19:41, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry but I was getting offline when I noticed your msg and I looked quickly at the page and saw the jumble at the beginning and wasn't going to try to fix an article and possibly screw something up in my rush when I could write on the talk and it doesn't matter if I screw up mine own talk page. If I had messed this page up I would just deal-with / listen-to-Lyrithya-bitch-at-me later when I get on... PeaChess (Chat) 19:45, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
I get ya. One of my wiki peavs is when some well meaning editors launch minor fx templates on pages, when they could have just fixed the minor thing. It comes off as Mere mortal, it is beneath me to touch the code of this page - do it do it now--KLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 19:57, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
