Okay, so you'll probably think this is a stupid idea, but here goes:

I have noticed that this wiki now has a Requested Article thingy. I have also noticed that from time to time you start an initiative week, like "Forest Fire" or "Rewrite". My suggestion is a "Create Requested Articles Week". Or something along those lines. Where people rather than creating random articles about obscure (or fictional) subjects, write encyclopedic articles about stuff people want to see written but can't be bothered.

Or, of course, this may already exist, and I'm just stupid. Or, we could just suggest people do it when they want. Just a thought. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nameable (talk • contribs)

No. no. And NO! Too much work and will fail, just like you fail to sign your posts.--Almost Sir Random Crap

How about we have a... "Edit stuff in the mainspace a bit more and create a few less pointless forums eh" Week? Now, I think that could really work well. MrN  Fork you! 22:34, Jul 29

I like the idea. I am also now obligated to mention that I have *cough, cough* a usergroup partially dedicated to doing just that. Also, it's better than IC. Also, don't listen to Bad Shroom. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 22:36, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

So now I have to sugarcoat my posts? I'm saying that it's a terrible idea, and this topic should be killed with fire. DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!! Anyway, Guild's group is a good idea.--Almost Sir Random Crap

I like both the ideas of whoever wrote this post and of MrN9000. Also, I want to thank Bad Shroom for extending the popularity of my glowing radioactive signature icon. (Crusty admin trolling for the win, or something like that) --Sir gwax (talk) 22:39, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

My pleasure. I just couldn't find a "me" sig image, so I took yours.--Bad Shroom 22:41, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Approved. "Create Requested Articles Week" will be held 52 weeks out of every year, and anyone may join in at any time. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 23:10, 29 Jul 2009

Which means 1 day out of the year (2 days if it's a "leap-year") no articles are allowed to be made. Thanks for ruining Thanksgiving. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 23:34, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Do we get a template for participating in this event? ^{Pirate Lord}__Sonic80 (Yell  •  Latest literary excretion) __ 23:39, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

And what about titles, awards, and votes for awards? --Mn-z 04:49, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

US or Canadian Thanksgiving? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 23:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking Tasmanian. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 23:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

• For More Forest Fire Weeks; Hey, remember how everybody always votes against those things and how they have been mentioned on this page already? Well I'm voting for and there's nothing you can do to stop me. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 05:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Against What Zombiebaron Just Said. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 11:45, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Somewhat for what Zombiebaron said, though I think it should be a vigilance week instead. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 11:53, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Against. per Sockie. --Mn-z 14:48, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
  • forest fire week!? panic!!! SirGerrycheeversGunTalk 16:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Ahhh, forest fire week. The worst idea anyone ever had at Uncyclopedia. Well, that, or vandalizing that White Nationalist wiki...--<<>> 12:24, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
    • Yes, but they deserved it. I mean, a racist wiki? C'mon! How many pages on Hitler or the superiority of Ozark bloodlines do you really need? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 16:10, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
      • I think 35 would be enough. Anymore and you're asking to be vandalized. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 21:26, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
        • Y'know, when I try to imagine the best human genome, I don't think of some guy with harelip and eyes that are too close together. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 21:58, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
          • I think about Carmen Electra... If her breasts were real, of course. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 22:01, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
            • Well, since you're never going to touch her, she could be made entirely out of shoe trees and lemon rinds and it would make no difference. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:09, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
              • Well, I almost touched her that one time. Fuckin' security guards and tazers... MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 22:14, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
