At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:Xander/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 the current colonization doesn't suit your fancy, then browse our rewrite and idea categories. We have lots of articles just sitting around for someone to improve, so don't be afraid - dive right in!
We also have an impressive amount of rules that you should read, it'll take a couple of days at least. Then, you can reward yourself with our Welcome Party for Noobs!
If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Additionally, the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced editors straight to you. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to join. Again, welcome! -- Mattsnow 15:52, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
Your articles[edit source]
Hello, and welcome to Uncyclopedia. You may notice that I've deleted a few of your articles. This is either because they were far too short, were examples of vanity, or both. I would recommend reading our Vanity policies to see what is considered notable enough to warrant an article. In addition, a few of your other articles have been moved to your userspace. This is because, while they showed promise, they seemed unfinished and underdeveloped. In your userspace, you can freely work on them at your leisure and improve them without worrying about Construction tags or anyone deleting them. I would recommend checking out this guide to comedy writing to help you with your articles. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me here or on my talkpage. Again, welcome to the site. Happy writing! :) -- 15:25, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
- Whitney Baird is not a notable person. Googling the name has gotten me nothing and your article just talks about how great she is, making it nothing more than a vanity page. Please take a look at UN:CM. -- 16:31, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
You're right. I went too far on that article.Xander (talk) 03:07, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
Image war repost[edit source]
Hi Xander and welcome to Uncyclopedia! Just so you know mainspace (where you submit your article so it can easily be seen by everyone) is for humour pages written by you. Image war is funny, but it's not an article or a humour page, so I moved it to your userspace (User:Xander/IMAGE WARS!!!! Repost). However, feel free to use those pictures to write your own article, which you'll be able to put in mainspace.
And, on a very final note, a writing competition called the Article Whisperer starts on December 28! You are warmly encouraged to participate! Anton (talk) 17:13, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
Nominated you...[edit source]
For noob of the moment, congrats! -- MagicBus Talk to me! 18:03, 28 December 2014 (UTC) Thanks! Xander (talk) 18:07, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
My first UnPoetia![edit source]

Only use for a Wii[edit source]
The only use for a Wii in my eyes is to surf the internet, maybe read some Uncyclopedia articles or watch videos. No ads!! It had some quality titles, but I couldn't access them. Xander (talk) 04:17, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
User:Xander/Natasha, the girlfriend of Boris[edit source]
I looked this topic up and couldn't find any information about it online. I userspaced it because it comes across as vanity. I've noticed a lot of your Terraria pages are on very obscure topics. I would recommend focusing on topics that are more well-known (it is especially helpful if they have Wikipedia pages) so it doesn't look like you are trying to promote something. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or drop me a message on my talk page. Happy editing. :) -- 22:23, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
Some issues with your articles[edit source]
I notice you've been writing articles mostly about Terraria, but many of your topics seem to revolve around very obscure things or possibly things that you've made up. I've searched for Greeny, The Days, and other subjects of your other articles on Google and Wikipedia, yet I couldn't find any information on them. I had been giving you the benefit of the doubt, but as you create more pages on seemingly imaginary topics, I am beginning to suspect that your articles may actually qualify as vanity. Can you please explain exactly what these topics are that you are trying to parody, or provide some links to online articles related to the topics. Thank you. -- 02:10, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- I see you are making a lot of edits but have not yet responded to the above statements. Please answer me soon. -- 16:54, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
I'm sorry... I think I had a fair amount of practice, time to document other things![edit source]
Well, I could write about other stuff, but I don't think it'd be good enough and your ploys prove a point. Well, my people told me to try new things, so I'll be off. I appreciate your concerns --Xander (talk) 06:37, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but I don't really know what that means. -- 07:37, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- I've moved all the articles that I thought were vanity pages to your userspace. If you would like to make a case for any of them, you can. By the way, I enjoyed Blanket, which is definitely something worthy of having an Uncyclopedia entry. -- 00:47, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks! About "Guardian"...[edit source]
The poem is about you.--Xander (talk) 00:55, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
Welcome![edit source]
I occasionally visit this site, though I am admin on a couple others. Good to see new writing here. -- Simsilikesims(♀UN) Talk here. 05:42, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Howdy![edit source]
For future reference, when a spambutt makes an account and then posts their spam, report it on QVFD and/or ban patrol (don't just blank the page[s]). Thanks. Also, keep up the good work, if you've been doing any. If you've been doing bad work... I'm watching you. (lol jk nobody's watching.) ~ Tue, Oct 27 '15 9:35 (UTC)
