Woodburninator knows what he is doing, but as I told the author of the recent UnNews:The Late Report, you shouldn't write in the style of a self-centered pot-head writing about himself, or a left-winger offering crap as fact, or a right-winger offering crap as fact. In each case, there are people out there who would do the same thing in all seriousness, and it's hard to tell joke from reality. Spıke¬ 17:20 14-Apr-10
But sometimes, that is the joke. People that write in that style, which can be mistaken for something a real idiot from the news would say, it is fantastic. That would be the point. This, on the other hand, is just written buy a pissed off guy with a severe case of writers block, as seen in its sister article. WoodyOnFire!Talking WoodyStalking Woody 21:13, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
I disagree. Woody never knows what he's doing. And I feel it necessary to say that writing in such a serious way where one can not tell if it's meant to be a joke or if the person is actually serious about what they say is actually what makes true satire. Sure, maybe it's a good to throw some really outlandish stuff out there so everyone knows you're telling a joke (like how Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh do), but I must say I quite enjoy the completely serious style of satirists such as Stephen Colbert. Blending the line of reality and sarcasm is exactly what great satire is meant to do. That's why I like this. MegaPleb•Dexter111344•Complain here 21:21, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
Quibble: If "one cannot tell," it isn't satire at all; it's an inside joke that no one else ever gets. Say rather, "one catches on slowly," and increasingly outlandish stuff is the key. My point is that there are populations for which, the more outlandish it gets, the more real it seems to me. Spıke¬ 00:23 15-Apr-10
Yeah, Sycamore mentioned that to me once, and I'm not a fan of it. Like, I'm not dead-set against it, but I really like the idea of someone popping onto Mint Jelly and being like, WTF? and then clicking on the link at the end of the article and figuring it out. If anyone else ever wants to write a different Mint Jelly article, (which I currently doubt) then obviously this one should be moved. But until then, I (biasedly) see no harm in this.

I don't think adding VFD is "development" that extends the life of the ICU. You might be right that the article would have been deleted anyway, in which case I'm sorry if it wastes your time. Enough people were looking at this that it merited a deliberate push off the cliff. Spıke¬ 03:46 8-Apr-10
Any edit to an ICU'd article extends the life of the ICU tag. Had you not editted it, the admins would have seen it had expired and would have already huffed it. It really shouldn't have been added to VFD for that reason. MegaPleb•Dexter111344•Complain here 19:07, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Keep. There are no problems with the actual content of the article as far as I know. Just to put it out there: I came up with "CADMIUM!" on my own to serve as a joke on the article. It has nothing to do with anything actually going on in the school as far as I know.Loopygrumpkins 01:06, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
Keep. As mentioned by Loopygrumpkins, there are no problems with the actual content and I had never heard of "CADMIUM!" until I read the latest version. As Spike has pointed out oh-so-kindly to us, we are competent writers, good at coding an article, and have read HTBFANJS. It sounds like with those combined, it should be a great article--and I think the humor in it is funny no matter if you go to the school or not. Some content is based on the fact, but other information, since few would know, is made up but still hilarious. I would see no reason to delete it just because Spike advised us that articles such as these end up on this list. Billobob 03:08, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
Keep But you kids, one of you at least take some control of the page and make sure that there are no real names used of any person, that nothing on the page demeans anyone at your school, and, well, you can guess the rest. Fuck up on this task and your page will getting huffed, for sure, if it doesn't get huffed by VFD. All that said, nice work on the article, it's a very full piece. Please consider adding to other pages or writing on a new topic. Aleister in Chains 3:49 26 3 mmx
Keep. It's specific but it's not bad. UN:CM is a guideline that we can show to noobs to explain why their arbicle about their best friend Jake was deleted.

But I've advised them, on the article's talk page, that articles such as this one about their middle school in Cedarburg, Wisconsin inevitably wind up on VFD.

I propose instead of condemning this article to deletion, some of the people who want to see it deleted should try to improve it first. I believe that if people who know nothing about the school at all contributed to the article, it could be funnier because other editors may not have the bias that Billobob or myself have. For more, see the "Deletion" section of Webster Transitional School's discussion page. Loopygrumpkins 17:29, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

I've done a good editing and some rewrite of most sections, more to go. Not a bad article at all, and maybe even a VFG page in its future. Al en'chain 13:45 28 3 mmx
I don't mean to seem whiny, but could people please stop suggesting that I work on something else. I take great offense at that seeing as in the two months and four days since I first edited, I've majorly edited (as in practically rewritten) five articles, not including this one which is being considered for deletion. I've also created three other articles and made quite a few smaller edits to sections on many other pages. Since I don't spend every waking second of my life on this website, I wouldn't consider that focusing solely on one topic. Loopygrumpkins 18:25, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
Four paragraphs up, you had no trouble telling all the article's detractors what we should work on. But all the editing help Aleister can give will not make this an article of general interest. It will remain an article about a middle school that has jocks, nerds, gamers, and a seemingly dictatorial administration, as though it were the only one. Users are directing you to useful work to extend hospitality to you--and are getting drama in return. Spıke¬ 23:34 28-Mar-10
Spike, seriously, just because you happened to stumble upon our article DOES NOT mean you have any kind of authority over it. Really, we already spent our time on it, and it seems your only argument is that it is something that few people will care about. Well, take a look at the schools category on here, and go complain about EVERY SINGLE random page about a school. Billobob 02:13, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
Uh, he never said he had authority over it. He's a vigilant user who reported it to VFD for being vanity. As I said on the talk page, you're lucky, some might have QVFD'd it.

Of course I'm the one responding with... DRAMA! And yet that response included the "Oh, but we're just humble people trying to help you" act. I just meant that maybe you should actually look into a subject before you make suggestions that could very eaasily be taken the wrong way. And what does hospitality have anything to with this?

Keep. "Motto: Yeah, she's my sister. So?" Casting a US state as a former Soviet Republic is thoroughly stagnant (a note I added to Section 8 of UN:HTBFANJS). But it's not all bad, and rather than have a gap in the set of US States (many of which are as bad as this), I would prefer preserving a vehicle for someone to improve--preferably, someone who does more than occasionally drive through, and always with enough gasoline to make it to the other side.

Keep. I agree with Spike that there shouldn't be a gap with the states, even if there are some already. Let's not try and make the problem worse, shall we.

Delete. While I see where SPIKE is coming from, I think Hyperbole's argument is stronger. My view was that the article was too incoherent to be enjoyable and I feel that a rewrite tag doesn't carry the clout that would be likely to improve this any time soon.

I'm willing not to care if there is a connection to humor that I don't see, and will cheerfully withdraw the nomination if there is some very popular piece of American pop culture that everyone will know and I should have known.

Rather, you should be vote to delete this because its redundant with {{Rewrite}} except that this one doesn't add articles to Category:Rewrite, is less clear in explaining that needs done to the article, insults the reader more, uglifies the article it's on more, and in general does what {{Rewrite}} does only worse. --Mn-z 18:59, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe we should turn it into an image macro. Templates are the worst way to insert humor in an article. It is like sticking in a random one-liner as a quote, but without spending the 30 seconds to think of something original that isn't in 50 other articles. --Mn-z 18:17, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
