I saw it on Prettiestpretty's talk page and I said to myself "I simply must exploit them further." I'm so badass.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 02:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Humour:	6	This is a great article. Just the way each heading is labeled "Why Knot your...." makes the whole article even better. Very clever, the way you parodied the homophones "Not" and "Knot". I think i am repeating myself. But there are some problems (Bum Bum Bummmmmm!): The content of each subheading is a little weak on the funny. You may be trying a high level approach to funny, but some of your jokes don't appear to be "jokes" and I failed to grasp them. Enough with the Knotting Pentavirate! It sometimes seems that every seemingly good article is ruined by some made up organization. Make that section strictly about why you should knot your shoes, (k)not some made up statement full of off topic British humo(u)r somehhow "tied" in to the topic. The same thing happens again and again! I may not be British, but i do understand the humo(u)r you try to do, and it was not present in a funny manner other than some little old lady talking about ties. My suggestions as to how you can improve this article is get rid of the fluff and stick to what people expect out of an article titled "Why Knot?": Lots of nots and knots and knot so many nots, but never too many knots not to overdue the knottininess of this article Old British ladies like to knit, not knot. Don't go into that again, or else it will "not" be funny. Think of something "knotty" to include (use your imagination) Knot that I don't like this article, but it is lacking in knots. Make it naughtier.
Concept:	8	Interesting title, which is why I chose to pee on it. But then I was disappointed that it was "not" about "knots", yet it was about little old ladies talking about knots and what-nots
Prose and formatting:	6	I personally wanted to see the article go crazy and get all tangled up in "knots" and "nots" and "naughts" and "why nots", not some history of some knotters club and a vague description as to why you should knot something.
Images:	5	I failed to grasp the humo(u)r in your images. What you find funny and what the reader finds funny are completly different. For the umpteenth time, I wanted to see knots! not that overused fat american kid. Get some actual pictures and diagrams of knots, and come up with better captions
Miscellaneous:	6.3	avged
Final Score:	31.3	Don't automatically assume that the reader knows what you are trying to parody. The key to writing good articles is to know what the reader will expect. Sometimes it is good to do the unexpected, such as in Nothing as the expectation is to see nothing or vice versa. But if the title pokes fun at the homophones knot and not, you better do just that as the reader is expecting that kind of article, and there is no other way to do the unexpected. Good luck on making changes.
