Girl problems
Sir Zombiebaron, there's a girl I like, you see, but she already has a boyfriend. What should I do? Here, tell me over here and give me some tips. Thank you for your time good sir. Matthlock 03:47, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Tell her how you feel and risk the temporary discomfort of being shot down, or do nothing and spend the rest of your life wondering what might have been. Also, please make your sig into a template. -- The Zombiebaron 05:28, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Check. AND CHECK. User:Matthlock/sig 06:22, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
- I was in that situation once, and I decided that the best option was to have sex with her best friend. I didn't get the girl, but I had sex with her best friend, so I count that as a win. Nominally Humane! 06:25 01 Apr
- Awesome. User:Matthlock/sig 06:38, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Main page
How about changing the link to a feature article and not just a random article? Some very bad stuff still circulates in the forests of uncy. When I look at the main page all I get is the small top header, Happy April 2nd with the link, and right under it are two or three stupid ads for wikia wikis, so it's essentially an advertising page. Anyway, how about the feature link instead of the random link? Lots of words to just say that, and Happy April 2nd (?). Aleister 00:17 2-4-'12
- Good idea. I updated the link. -- The Zombiebaron 00:27, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
Christians
Could you please delete Christianity and move Christians to it. The former is a much more appropriate title but for some reason, it won't let me move it. Thanks. -- 19:31, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Hea guys. I was thinking about doing that myself a while back as it makes sense given what is in the article, so I went ahead and moved it over. MrN 19:42, Apr 4
- Cool -- The Zombiebaron 21:10, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
Site notice
CW has finished, or should be extended (again). Extra Van Gan Za has not started, or else is not being advertised. Pee Buddy is a week away. Did you want to adjust the site notice to reflect something more current, or (my preference) set up an appeal to encourage IPs to register? Nominally Humane! 02:03 08 Apr
- Oh, sorry, I guess I forgot to update it last week. After Conservation Month ends I will put something up about the Pee Buddy. I canceled this year's Extra Va Gan Za in favor of two extra weeks of Conservation. I may be wrong but I don't think unregistered users can even see the sitenotice. -- The Zombiebaron 04:14, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Just as an experiment I logged out, and I can. I don't think I can dismiss it either. Extra Van Gan Za in May? 124.170.40.54 04:27, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Nope - can't dismiss as IP. Nominally Humane! 04:29 08 Apr
- Ok. Well if we're gonna do an appeal for new users (good idea), I think we should do it with a banner like the ones Lyrithya makes to parody Wikipedia's banners. -- The Zombiebaron 04:33, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
- I agree. Something to work on over the next couple of days. Nominally Humane! 04:38 08 Apr

Why do you delete pages of stuff I like? I don't see much... Examples; LittleBigPlanet, Roblox, Total Drama, Finding Nemo, etc. BlockyCuzco (talk) 19:07, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Help?
Could you help me with my first article, Quaars? Just to give me some ideas and some pictures. NewCarlingford (talk) 14:54, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with whatever a "Quarrs" is, so I don't think I could make jokes about it. If you have a specific image request, just let me know or leave it here. -- The Zombiebaron 18:42, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

It has come to my attention...
It has come to my attention Zombie that you have created a certain page titled "User:Zombiebaron" in violation of basic Uncyclopedia rules. Perhaps you have forgot: Pages about you, your friends, your schoolmates, your teachers, etc. WILL be deleted on sight. Since you (through some sort of method of hacking) have locked the page down, I am going to the other admins in order to inform them of your corruption.
Unbelievable... -- King Snoogles 20:25, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

You are a Pee Buddy Judge
I'm sure that's not news. But feel free to add {{User:PuppyOnTheRadio/PBJ}} to your user page to show everyone how clever you are.
As for the method of judging - I recorded this thingy earlier, but the long and the short of it - you will be judging every article in the category for which you chose to judge. I will create a judging page later on that allows you to add a comment/link to each article you judge, along with a score. The ideal is that you score one a scale of 0.0 - 10.0 in total, but if you want to score out of 100, or 50, or 8.9, you can do that as well, as long as you put in the max score in as well. (It will become apparent once I've actually created the judging page.) Judging will start on the 1st (sort of). I've actually allowed a days grace for people to complain about entries or submit a late entry with a good excuse (ie: I was dead for two weeks for tax purposes). I'll keep you posted.

Protection level on Religion
Going back a couple of years ago we decided to change the protection level on this to admin and redirect to Portal:Religion. Recently while going through redirects of vitals articles someone added Category:Vital articles and Category:Redirects with possibilities. Given it was protected I asked Romartus to delete the second category. Lyrithya then decided to unprotect the page. Given it was a couple of years ago I figure we might be able to remove the protection, but given it was a community decision to add it (through a freakig messy VFD if I remember correctly), should we have a community decision in order to remove that restriction? Just bringing it to yor attention. I've removed the category that was bugging me, and Lyrithya made a valid point (re "create an article in user space and an admin can move it here if it's okay etc"). I'm happy to just keep an eye on it for vandals and leave it semi-protected, but thought you'd be the better judge on this. (It must suck being Solomon.) Nominally Humane! 12:29 24 Apr
- I'm not entirely sure what you're asking me to do. -- The Zombiebaron 16:00, April 24, 2012 (UTC)

More Rollbacks?
Good day sir, Per this new patrolled edits thing, I was wondering if you could grant said rollbacking abilities to Funnybony? Thanks. MrN 21:02, Apr 26
- Done. I think we may need some kind of central "Requests For Rollbacks" page. I'll try to cobble something together later when I've got a minute. -- The Zombiebaron 23:46, April 26, 2012 (UTC)
And yet another Rollback

Hello. Sorry to bother you, but could you add rollback privileges to my account? Recommendation is above. Thanks in advance! --Alpha Quintesson (talk) 02:58, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

What the hell is your problem?
You've banned SockpuppetOnTheRadio and Yes Am Gay just for being "gay" (a.k.a. they requested a block). Why do that? -- This has been an automated message by Cute Zekrom (talk) 03:06, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Careful, Q. They were a vandal. Take a look at their "contributions". If you don't like the term "gay" being used to describe stupidity...well, neither do I. But you'll have to get used to it, because that's today's culture. Stupid kids. ~ Sun, Apr 29 '12 3:41 (UTC)

An article showing where it probably shouldn't
Hello. I've been told to tell you about this, so I guess that means that you might be able to fix this. I've been going through Uncyclopedia:Articles to fix for something to do, and I realised that there was Please delete this page in one of the lists. I said something to Mattsnow and someone named P told me to talk to you about fixing it. He told me to say "It has to do with suppressing the categories on the page so they don't show on the DPL" which I think means something sensible, but I may have just made a bad joke in geek. Uncyclopedia:Templates/Maintenance/Maint is also there which I think shouldn't be, and Uncyclopedia:Category redirect. Could you do whatever magic you need to do to make these not appear in this list? It just helps me to keep track of what I need to try and do. --C₂H₆O (hic) 10:25, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
- What he said. There might be a need for category suppression on the {{fix}} or other maintenance tags. They are used as example/comedic effect in a few places which is creating miscategorisation. Also I've come under the scrutiny of User:Otterathome about the same time I stopped being as active here, and there's this, where the fact that he is a vandal across other wikis should probably be mentioned. I wasn't around at the time of his joyful spree here, so someone who knows the situation a little better might be able to shed some light on it. Nominally Humane! 12:43 29 Apr
- Please delete this page is deliberately ignored by admins. So is Vandalism/example on wheels! -- This has been an automated message by Cute Zekrom (talk) 19:54, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
- But it's obviously not just admins using that list - otherwise we're expecting admins to do all the writing work, which might be a mistake. BannedPuppy (talk)
- Please delete this page is probably in the Self Reference category and is obviously kept for satirical purposes. -- This has been an automated message by Cute Zekrom (talk) 23:27, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Apostrophes
Hey Zombiebaron, it’s me Matthlock. I have a thing that’s sort of been pestering me lately. How come the apostrophes that this site makes are different from the apostrophes that I make on my home computer.
It’s sort of annoying, because usually I write my articles from at home, put them on a thumb drive and then go to the public library to submit them. (I don’t have internet access at my house.) Some of the articles that I link to are counted as nonexistent just due to the fact that my apostrophes are different from yours. For example, take a look at this link: Guns N’ Roses. It’s counted as nonexistent even though I spelt and capitalized everything correctly, but due to that one error of using my own apostrophes instead of the types that Uncyclopedia has, it has a red link.
I use Microsoft Office Word 2007 to type up my articles. The apostrophes that it makes look like this → ‘ – instead of this '
Quotation marks are sort of the same thing as well. Could you explain to me on my talk page as to why that is, and/or better yet, you could fix it somehow.
I went to you to discuss this because you’re the head honcho over here. Thanks. (PS I typed this message up on my home computer and then sent it onto Uncyclopedia.) User:Matthlock/sig 20:24, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Is Zombiebaron the head honcho? I demand an explanation. It's supposed to be my turn to be head honcho this month. --ChiefjusticePS2 21:04, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, Chief, if you think you're the head honcho, you can head on over to my talk page and give me an explanation as to this apostrophe thing. User:Matthlock/sig 21:15, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, ‘ and ' are not the same Unicode character so MediaWiki treats them as different characters. You'll notice that Teamf1 tends to insert ` instead of the apostrophe character. -- This has been an automated message by Cute Zekrom (talk) 23:12, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
- I think it was more about how the smart quotes got in there. The discussion is on the talk page now anyway. BannedPuppy (talk)

Small point, but...
... where did I say I was leaving? And as for stirring up drama - I have gone out of my way to avoid it, which painted me in the worst light. Someone then suggested that there are times you need to be counter intuitive here, so I'm not going to avoid it, or deliberately create it. I'm just going to be honest. BannedPuppy (talk)
- Perhaps I misinterpreted what you said on the VFS talkpage, and your recent actions on your own talkpage. I was under the impression that you were leaving the site. Meanwhile, there is a fine line between "being honest" and "being purposefully and needlessly controversial". I had hoped that a short ban (only one day) would be enough time for you to take a step back from the wiki. The fact that you created a sockpuppet to evade your ban is very worrisome (to say the least). I'd really rather not have to threaten you with longer bans, as I feel like that is likely just going to exacerbate the issue, but please be aware that you are on thin ice at the moment. -- The Zombiebaron 23:56, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
- I also have no way of appalling the lifting of a block except by sockpuppetry or by IP edits. I can't access IRC from here, and I really dislike having my IP address sprawled all over the place. And I'm allowing people to think whatever the hell they like to think. And I'm going to continue being as outspoken as I like to be. Playing nicely worked out badly for me. I have nothing to gain by trying to do it again, so I'll be honest. And really, other than letting you know what was happening over at WP, which could be construed as being constructive, what did I do, other than talking to people the way I have been doing for ages, and the one message over at Lyrithya's talk page, which is what others have said to me quietly but have too much to lose by saying it openly, what have I done that's ban worthy. You KNOW what I did and why I did it. A single word of support from ANY of the admins could have actually changed the outcome. And as a sockpuppet I asked for a lift if the ban, explained to someone else what was going to happen to me as a sockpuppet, and gave some help on a technical issue, and made a suggestion on a forum as to why people don't come here and pointed out by example why they are leaving. And really - what on Earth do I have left to lose? I'm now a pariah because I was doing everything I could to build the site. BannedPuppy (talk)
- Both of us know that you have my email. You don't even have to use the Email User button on the site, because I have emailed you in the past. But, ok, I get it. You want this out in the open. You want everyone to see me tell you that I'm making the ban on your account longer, and that I'm going to make it longer every time you sockpuppet. Well, ok, now everybody knows. -- The Zombiebaron 00:22, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Good thing I've only made the one then. So are you also going to ban any other users that have made sockpuppets in the past as well? I'd just like people to realise that you're not taking anything personally as I chose not to follow your advise. (Which came through about three hours later - not that anyone is at fault on that of course.) BannedPuppy (talk)

Admin stuff
Just some basic questions. How do I delete stuff and block users? -- 21:29, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm just on my way out the door. I suggest that you get on IRC, and ask people for help there. I will have more time later this evening to give you any other help you need. -- The Zombiebaron 21:31, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Never mind, I figured it out. Thanks for the upgrade! -- 21:32, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Congratulations! Although, I do still recommend that you get on IRC at some point soon. Plenty of other admins hang out there and it's a good way to be accessible to users that need administrative assistance. -- The Zombiebaron 21:38, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
- I believe to delete you add ?action=delete to the URL, and to block you go to Special:Block and type in the username you want to ban. I actually own an entire wiki on Wikia. -- This has been an automated message by Cute Zekrom (talk) 22:01, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
