[edit] Moving Creationism
I know what you said about moving Transformers but, er, um, could you move Uncyclopedia:Imperial Colonization/Creationism and its talk page to Creationism? There are a number of reasons it's critically important to preserve the history--checking to see who actually did contribute and what those contributions were, double checking on who gets half credit if it gets featured, seeing what worked in setting up a colonization and what didn't, etc. I tried looking through the history of previous colonizations so I could learn from what was done before, and never did fine much of it, which means I probably repeated a lot of the old mistakes. The only way I thought of keeping the history without an admin doing that huffing/moving/unhuffing magic that you do is to cut and paste the IC version onto the current version, and then posting a BIG NOTICE in the talk page that the rest of the history is on one of the IC pages and linking to it. But that would split the history up which I'd prefer not to do if it's not too much trouble to do your magic. What think?
Rabbi WHY??? (shmuesn) 23:20, March 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Done. I think... IC should just edit the actual mainspace page they are rewriting. I never did really understand why SysRq wanted to do it on a different 'hidden' page. This is not my decision though, and you guys need to sort this one out between you. I do think that continuing to do this delete and re-create trick is not ideal however... It's not really something we are 'meant' to do with MediaWiki. Maybe if you do want to do it on a different page then you could just cut and paste, and attribute credit on the talk page at the time of completion. If you guys decide you do want to keep doing this, I will. I just don't think it's ideal, that's all. That's why I'm suggesting you just do it all on the page in mainspace. MrN
00:21, Mar 6
- Thanks for your help. There's a few reasons I, like SysRq, think it works better on IC space.
- We start out with a blank slate. That doesn't matter on IC, but would mean blanking the article on main space for a day or two or three.
- When we start writing something, it's going to be a piece of an article instead of a whole article, which will be what was there before (however bad it might be).
- By keeping it in IC space, we can control who edits--I really don't think we have (nor do I want) the authority to say who can or can't edit in main space.
- By moving the entire history, as you'll graciously done for us, everything on the article is kept together in one space. It makes it much easier for someone (i.e. me) to go back and check things--as I said above, I got lost trying to track down previous ICs that were just cut and pasted. I found bits and pieces all over the place, and later on I found I had still missed parts of article's I thought I had found all of.
Rabbi WHY??? (shmuesn) 01:24, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Well... I don't think "blanking" an article in mainspace is too much of a problem. It would never actually be blanked, but would be a very short version of the new. You should not start editing the new page until there is an agreed new concept. I think that concept should be discussed on the main talk page of the article in question.
- You don't 'control' who edits in IC now. Anyone can edit. You don't have to be a 'member' of IC to edit an IC article. Those are your main points, and I think they are invalid. I just realised that this 'fix' of moving the history is not ideal because if someone edits the mainspace page during the IC, then those edits will still show in the history of the page after I have done the huff/recreate. It actually looks VERY wrong. Take a look at this edit at 03:49, 13 February 2010. Look at the page history at this date/time. It looks like this user did something which they did not. I'm actually rather unhappy about that. I would really like you to come up with a way of preventing this from happening. We could sysop protect the mainspace page from editing, but then why do that when we could just edit the mainpage. I think that what has happened here is that both you and SysRq have started to believe that IC is some kinda a club which only you can control. That sir is not correct. Anyone can edit the IC page. People may choose to revert them if they wish, but it's not a private club.
- If I might make a suggestion for how IC might be improved... Before voting on which article to IC I suggest that an overall concept be agreed or at-least suggested. You might have several good ideas for what the article should be like before you agree to start it. Rather than saying "lets do this... Um, what shall it be about?" ... It would be better to say "Here is my idea for this article, here is my idea for this article, here is my idea for that article (there may be several different ideas from different users and you might not have chosen which) but... The point is that you already know the concept before starting. I think this would then remove the need to 'blank' the article. Again, I'm not forcing you into changing anything here, but I'm sure you can see that this kinda thing is actually rather a significant problem. I'm hoping to come up with a way to fix this. Maybe thrashing out the basic concept in 'ICspace' but then doing a cut and paste into the mainspace page when you have enough to start the new article. If the edits were done on the mainspace page, I would much prefer to put temporary semi-protection onto the mainspace page in cases of high traffic pages than continue to do this bodge of huffing and recreating. If you can come up with a way of fixing this issue without needing sysop involvement that's going to be by far the best thing IMO. MrN
10:12, Mar 6
- I've taken some time to think about this.
- I appreciate you taking the time and effort to give a detailed response, and giving helpful suggestions. You could simply have said, "I'm an Admin that's the way it is if you don't like it tough cookies." But you didn't.
- I COMPLETELY agree that the editing history being misleading is a major problem. That alone is enough to convince me that my pushing for that huffing/unhuffing thing was a bad idea. I'll probably post a note about it in the talk page to explain what happened, or maybe post a note on that editor's page. What I think I'll do instead is put each IC project on its own page, link to it from the project page (which was an IC member's suggestion), cut and paste from IC space to main space, and put a note in the edit history and on the talk page where the IC history is so it's easy to find and credit. It will be a little more work on both ends, but it's better than having an inaccurate history.
- Personally, if IC articles had to be edited on mainspace, I'd rather not do IC. It would be much more efficient for me to simply find a user or two who wanted to work on improving an article with me, and do it that way instead of spending hours and hours writing notices and procedures and updates and checking everyone's edits, etc. Part of the advantage of IC is how it brings oldtimers and newcomers--and experienced editors who've never collaborated and maybe haven't even talked to each other--together, and can guide newcomers, who otherwise would be left out of collaborations, much more effectively than happens in main space.
- Yes, I did think IC had control over what was done on IC pages (of course knowing that admins could always overrule anything we did). If IC doesn't have say over its own space, I almost question the point of having IC. But I suppose I can nudge non-IC editors by posting a note on their talk page telling them they're welcome to apply. I've already done that, and so far they've either joined or stopped editing in IC. Or I could consider an edit in IC space a de facto application to join. But I am tempted to move the current work-in-progress pages to my user space so I do have the authority to say only IC members can edit IC projects. Again, if IC is the same as main space, I don't see the point in having it set up as a group instead of just posting a template at the top of an article saying it needs work.
- I like your idea of encouraging users to suggest ideas for colonization an article when they nom it, and plan to follow that. I don't, however, want that as a requirement. Frankly, when I nommed Creationism I had no real concept of a direction, which was formed by other colonizers and ended up becoming a feature article. On that article, at least (and so far on Batman), letting the concept come later and being decided by consensus seems to work.
- Thanks again for your help and your patience with a bull-header editor!
Rabbi WHY??? (shmuesn) 21:46, March 8, 2010 (UTC)
- So long as you are willing to put the effort in to run IC... It's up to you how you fix the huff-recreate problem, sounds like you have a way... My suggestion about needing a basic concept was based on what I have seen of how IC works, and when it does not work. When an IC fails it's because one one came up with a good concept for the article, which is daft when people might have ideas for another article which would not have failed. When you have been doing this for longer you will see what I mean... Sure there are times when you can come up with a concept after you start, but I suggest that if concepts are not flowing before you do, then that's probably a sign of trouble ahead. Again, it's up to you there though... As for if IC really is a private "club" and that only "members" can edit? I think UN:N probably applies really... As you said, if someone does edit, then that's an application to join. I do not want you to move IC to your userspace. Do not do that. IC does not belong to you. You are running it. I actually think the whole thing (including getting new members) would work better in mainspace, but as you are running it, you get to decide. The point of IC is that it's one central place where users who want to collaborate can get together and do that. It's NOT a system of exclusion. If you want to create a private club in your userspace go ahead, but that would not be IC, and I would ask someone else to run IC instead. Have fun. MrN
22:45, Mar 8
- All righty then; I'll continue my practice of considering edits to IC space as grounds for application--or to be reverted on sight if not helpful, as is usually done in main space. As for the no-concept problem, the way it's set up now is the concept has a deadline--it's determined between Sunday and Wednesday, then only after the concept's formed do we begin writing the article. If it's not made by when I check it Thursday, I'll create it or we'll move on to the next article. I remember what you suggested about the benefit of having deadlines, and that's what we're doing. Worked so far.

Controversy over Uncyclopedian leads journalist to public outcry
The "of the Month" nominations and celebrations have been marred recently by drama circulating in forums, talk pages and on vote pages in various areas. Fortunately, whenever and wherever a drama has reared its ugly head an Unsignpost reporter has been there to cover it. Why do I need to provide this? is now experiencing his second week of not having been nominated for anything. After mentioning to a respected editor that he had been nominated for at least one award for almost every day he had been part of the Uncyclopedia community, he bemoaned the fact that he had not been nominated for anything this month. "I've been nommed for something EVERY SINGLE DAY of the five months I've been here--until this month. I'm not nommed for anything. It's pretty depressing, really." Why? complained As a result of this complaining, Why? was then nominated for an award that had been more respected in the breach then in the observance - to paraphrase the bard - Nomination of the Month. When, after a series of events, Roman Dog Bird felt obliged to nominate Aleister in Chains' Nomination for NOTM of PuppyOnTheRadio's nomination for NOTM of Why do I need to provide this?'s nomination of PuppyOnTheRadio for UGotM, he simply stated "This is a stupid award." Meanwhile, at UotM, discussion over the number of awards given out led to an obvious discussion about the worth of RotM and UotM, which of course led, as all conversational roads do, to the hugely popular and debatably talented Dan Brown, not to be confused with Dan Kwon, as we aren't quite sure who he is. The debate got unexpectedly heated when a talented and handsome editor suggested that another less talented editor should perform carnal and bestial acts with random household appliances. Remember to cast your vote in AotM, PotM, RotM, NotM and WotM, or nominate the uncyc member that has impressed you most in these areas. And of course, always remember Mordillo's words, "This one is for people who made Uncyclopedia better by cleaning up shop, helping people and allow Uncyclopedia to wobble around without falling over." Vote today. Or tomorrow - depending on if you have the time.
And with the current vote count standing at 6 in favour, and with few regularly active sysops left to vote, it looks like the chances are that there will be new sysops by the end of this month - so time to start deciding who you're gonna nominate! Who will be the next to have a thousand IPs ask them on their talkpage why they deleted their useless little one-line stub? Stay tuned to find out? |

[edit] UnNews:Lord Monckton Denies Denying Denial
Dude! You got me into Prefs, and I found the bitchin skin, "Beach" - and it's so cool that it not only makes me feel I'm a Uncyclopedia Beach Local, but also tells me how many edits I've made since 2008, and all kinds of neat looking gizmos. That plus my N-generated Signature, and FOR SURE I'm a Uncyclopedia Beach surfer, kinda, like you...COOL!!
I had this crazy idea for UnNews that is up, but not scheduled until 6th March. And it's even YOU'RE CAT. UnNews:Lord Monckton Denies Denying Denial So maybe you like to improve it BEFORE the release date. --- BUT, as you can see, I screwed-up his name in the headline, and I don't know how to fix it.

[edit] Random thought
I've just popped a few things on QVFD today, and managed to exceed the 20 items ruling (so therefore ripe for ban-stick, but I claim ignorance). Just thinking it might be advantageous to have another poop-smith on board, and I would suggest pointing the finger at User:SPIKE as he appears to be the most active user on VFD that I can think of, and would also be damned good at it. What say you?- Well... If you exceeded it, I missed you doing so. Maybe you have not read the rules properly for a while... SPIKE's contributions have been well noted. Bide your time for now though sir. If there were cabal business (which obviously there is not) then things would have a particular way of happening. Obviously they don't, due to there not being one, but if they did then there would be. I assume. MrN
11:29, Mar 9
- Well, I feel I can rest assured that nothing is going to happen, and not knowing the cabal, which of course I don't, as there is no cabal, nothing will happen swiftly, and with no well-considered judgement. So there is nothing to worry about.

Dude! I read that article, HTBFANJS (How To Butt F**k A Nasty Jewish Slut) - and I can't quite make out what it's on about. Something about humor, or some such!?? Anyway, I'm not a lone wolf, I don't expect to create anything great without a partner or partners, and I'm not really looking for a one-man FA. Lets do them together, which I much prefer. I have good ideas, like when in the band, but I needed a bloke from South Shields, who used to tell me, "Go-on fook yaa granny!", to bring my ideas to completion. So I'm no lone wolf Uncyclopedian, and don't really want to be. I'll be, like, Jerry Lewis and you can be what's his name? The drunk guy who was so straight. Anyway, think about it.. so here's a bit of LUNACY:
--Funnybony
17:52, Mar 11
- You are a Funny one Mr "Funnybony". You put so much value in my opinion about some things, but how many time have I pointed to you to read that thing before, yet you have ignored me on that? OK, that sounds a bit like I'm having a go at ya. Dude, you know I'm not, cos I love you to bits cos of all the cool things you do. But... You may not even think it's true, but reading that really will have made you a better writer. Just like if you did some more Pee Reviews that would also make you a better writer 2. Not only that but it would also get a lot more people interested in your work, and you would have more contributors to your other work in the long run. I'm not the expert in comedy dude. Far from it. I have a sense of humour which is different to that of others, just like everyone else. What HTBFANJS does do is point you at some principles which have been shown to be effective in the past.
- Here's the thing dude... You keep saying "My style does not cut it" and stuff like "what's the formula for success at VFH"? Well... It's taken you what? A year before you have actually read our document which explains that? Lol. Dude. Come on, you have to agree that that is kinda funny. I know that some of our best writers (I'm not one of them) often go back and read, and re-read HTBFANJS lots of times when writing. It reminds them of what works, and what does not, and is often a source of new ideas and avenues for articles. Dude... If you respect my opinion (I know you do but you're just a lazy arse who don't want to read documentation) then you will read HTBFANJS sometime again in the not too distant future. That's one heck of a read, and there is no way it's all going to have gone in after just one read through. Seriously, read it again sometime soon. You might also want to take a look at our guide to doing reviews. UN:PRG I wrote that in tandem with Cajek who is the author I think you should model yourself on. Even if you don't do any reviews, still read that. Of the great writers here, he's probably the dude closest to you in terms of humour style, and probably the best advice I can give you is to read some more articles from that his of his stuff which I gave you a while back.... It's like I say dude, if you want to get better, you are going to have to do some research. Not that reading Cajek's stuff is hard work. The dude is awesome, and you will love everything which he ever wrote. Or... Are you too old a dog to teach new tricks. :P :P :P MrN

Investigative journalist looks in to the cabal; Shocking discovery Many veiled references have been made to this cabal, however until now there has been no real investigative attempts to uncover the shocking truth about the cabal. However, despite this, one plucky rookie journalist has decided that the truth must be free, and an investigation into the cabal has been undertaken. Investigating this it appears that the rumours relating to a cabal have come from numerous sources. In investigating this there were a number of dead ends, including pages that appear to have been deleted with no history. One source has come forward to expose the truth about the cabal. Under threat of repercussion, this source has been asked to be known simply as Deep Throat. Upon interviewing this source the following shocking truth has been discovered! There is no cabal.
Any rumours about a supposed cabal are completely untrue. Any suggested sources are in fact fictional and have no veracity behind them. There is no shadowy, mysterious force guiding Uncyclopedia. As I, as a respected journalist, have now been made well aware of the non-existence of this cabal, I am now comfortable to retire my journalistic career. I will shortly be taking a long trip to a very remote location where there is no phone or internet access and will choose to never write again. I may even go to Antarctica. But most importantly, there is not now, nor never has been, a cabal.A useful HowTo? does not compute!
If there were a Cabal (which, as the above article clearly establishes beyond doubt, there isn't), it would encourage you to read it and never write a bad UnNews again. |

DUDE...

- Holy Shit.
- That appears to be what happens if you select something other than the default "skin" in Special:Preferences. I think the default (and so what I assume everyone else is seeing) has no adverts. Still that's a breach of our creative commons license I assume. Go into Special:Preferences and try some different settings... It's almost certainly an error by Wikia rather than something more sinister. MrN

[edit] Trying to make archive of talk page
Dude! So you won't think I'm stupid - therefore I tell you up front. I'm stupid! See how smart I am? It takes a genius to know that he's stupid!
I looked at your archive - and couldn't figure how to save the old (current) talk page to a new name, and start a fresh talk page. All I could try was to MOVE it to another name, so I moved to User talk:Funnybony/archive1 - but all that did was redirect the old page. And, on top of everything, the whole deal is surrounded by warning lights and Uncyclopedia cyber threats. I don't want to be accused of breaking more laws that I never heard of. Now I'm really confused. I'm sure it's something super simple. But I still don't know it... HELP!!!--Funnybony

Dude! I escaped that MrN9001 Punji Stick trap, and finally found my way back to you. I don't trust your sock puppets (being one myself) and am glad to be back in the World. I saw that you made a NEW page for my talk Archives and freed up the original Talk page - which was a well conducted special forces operation of great risk. I'm still not sure how you did it. But give me a little time to solve the puzzle, and DO drop a hint. You're awesome--Funnybony

[edit] Ancient Uncyclopedia
Dude, I was reading an actual Sanskrit Purana this morning and had a crazy idea. Did you know that, apart from everything else, the Hindus also were first to have Uncyclopedia!? And in one Purana, the Hip Purana, there is detailed, esoteric, and bone fide information on Uncyclopedia. Even the book is Sanskrit titled "Uncyclopedia" (not very subtle, huh?). I just got started, and please DO join in Ancient Uncyclopedia. Cheers!--Funnybony

This initiation, also called the "belt-line" consists of:

[edit] I am so glad!
Hi
I am unfortunately fRENCH.
My name´s Jean-Michel Sarga.
A few days ago I was angry thinking that the peron who invented the idea of universal wiki has been f****d by a guy named Whales, and that would lengthen the development of neutral information (example in my field (I am a mathematics addict); definition of some words some people use) and in the same time in the case of human suffering related info( I don´t the phrase for "wars, etc") a pseudo-"neutral" "information".
I was thinking over during hours about this problem.
You can imagine my bliss and laughter when I happened to see a webpage that I thought being a wikipedia stuff on my firefox with the uncyclopedia article "Dick Cheney".
I love you all.
- It must be unfortunate to be French.

[edit] Need some expert help for a good cause my dear chap!
Dude! I hope you feel properly glorified in Ancient Uncyclopedia. It was a fluke that I created the article. After creating I realised it was, like, an ancient Zen Uncyclopedia manual that's, maybe, a "must read" for Uncyclopedia success (it even includes HTBFANJS}. I think I might have a chance with this one passing the acid test. It really feels unique, and funny, and useful too. BUT, that could depend on your checking-editing it where necessary, and even adding more ancient Zen instruction, for example, the Ancient Uncyclopedia language with words like nOOb, Spork, Sock puppet, etc. It needs a Uncyclopedia Beach Local jargon, and again for the Uncyclopedia Beach Local article.
It would be good to list the top ten Unwords as jargon, and I'll also learn from reading that, cause I only know about FA, nOOb, Spork, etc, from you. So a mini Undictionary of 10 top Unwords would be actually helpful to both articles, just as I believe that Ancient Uncyclopedia is actually helpful beyond parody and actually quite right on. The article surprised even me. Hope your well, Dude!--Funnybony
01:36, Mar 16
- Sorry dude, I can't really get into that article. I have looked at it a few times and I'm not getting it. Maybe check out The History of the Decline and Fall of Uncyclopedia and some of the pages linked from the bottom of that. In jokes need to be really, really good to be good.

[edit] Imperial Colonization Buccaneer Admiral walking the plank!
IMPORTANT: If you want to make comments on any part of this message, please post your comments on the IC talk page. I've sent this notice out to about 40 people, and will likely never see your response if you put it on your talk page. But if you insist on doing it anyway (sigh), please at least start a new section using == (Your comments) == below my signature, or click the + tab up above, and make comments there. This message is set up as a template, so if you try to make edits in this message, it will edit it everywhere, and get me nasty notes from admins.
Actually, I'm looking for a temporary assistant/permanent successor as head of Imperial Colonization. I got put in charge of IC because I kept bugging a certain admin. I'd say, "Why isn't somebody doing this with IC?" and "Why isn't somebody doing that with IC?" So that admin basically said "Why, you're somebody; go do it" (see discussion here). But as you can see, I took on the position planning to update IC, get it moving again, and see it through one colonization. Well, that happened. IC was updated and reactivated and, thanks to some great colonizers, Creationism was recreated in a spirit of cooperation, was rewritten on deadline, was Pee Reviewed and, as a bonus, was voter-chosen as a feature article within about a day of being nommed. Our current project, Uncyclopedia:Imperial Colonization/Batman is scheduled to be written by 20 March, and then we'll begin another. IC is moving...and I'm looking for someone to keep it moving. If interested, please post a note on the IC talk page--experienced and successful users only need apply. Ability to say "ARRRRR" like a pirate is not required, but would be nice.

Yeah, sorry for undoing Rabbi's archiving work, I honestly had no idea why it happened, I was just using the Ban Patrol script as normal.

VFS: it begins
Leading the popular vote at present is long-serving poopsmith and kvetcher RabbiTechno, gaining a seemingly unassailable lead by being helpful, friendly and competent, and by promising to bake cakes for all who vote for him - a ploy which may well have snared the support of more than just the odd swing voter. In a comfortable position just behind the Rabbi is lengthily-monikered Belgian workhorse Sockpuppet of an unregistered user, the joint Uncyclopedian of the Year for 2009, who seems to be gathering followers by being helpful, competent, friendly, and doing loads and loads of stuff. This cunning stratagem has obviously endeared him to the denizens of this wiki, who seem to be propelling him towards having his own banstick. But hold on, who's this coming up stealthily behind Socky? Why, it's pee review supremo and scourge of vandals everywhere ChiefjusticeDS! The Chief is steadily accumulating backers through the cunning tactic of being competent, helpful and friendly. He also rules PEEING with an iron fist, and spends inordinate amounts of time cleaning and tidying up the place, facts that have led to him coming within striking distance of the leaders in what appears to be a three-horse race. One thing is clear from this - all 3 of the most popular candidates appear to be helpful and friendly, which this newspaper finds unacceptable - where is the next Famine going to come from? where will we find an admin willing to infiban users and delete all their articles just for looking at someone the wrong way, or for being Kip the Dip? Also nominated, and receiving some support are current Writer of the Year and greatest person in the history of all things ever Hyperbole, diplomat by Uncyc appointment to all religions Optimuschris, canine broadcaster and damn fine journalist PuppyOnTheRadio, allcaps-named VFD machine SPIKE, confirmed female on the internets Zana Dark, easy-to-spell feature-machine Guildensternenstein and jaded old-timer Necropaxx. Other people have been nominated without recording a score as yet, but as this article is already long enough to have the editor wondering how many filler boxes he can dream up for the right-side panel this week, they just appear as a brief list: Mnbvcxz, Cajek, Gerrycheevers, Syndrome, The Woodburninator, Why do I need to provide this?, Charitwo and some bloke called Mhaille. Will any of them pick up a sympathy vote before the end of voting round 2? Positions vacant. The Imperial Colonization is a long standing organisation that has for years been at the cutting edge of creativity of articles for one of the world's most respected websites: Uncyclopedia. Due to a period of unprecedented growth during a time of economic downturn, as most of our members are otherwise unemployed, we are looking for a new assistant to the head of IC. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to work from home. Your daily duties will include:

[edit] Discordianism vote needed quickly and member retirement
VOTE DISCORDIAN NOW: We need your vote! On both Creationism and Batman, colonizers who participated came to a consensus on a direction for the article. But on Discordianism, there's been more discord--or at least not a consensus. So we're resorting to (sigh) democracy. Go to Uncyclopedia_talk:Imperial_Colonization/Discordianism#Article_ideas and cast your vote!
You can vote for one or two, comment on as many as you like, but vote quickly--this is an eleventh hour effort, and we will hopefully have a direction in a few hours. I'll be checking the results sometime around 03:00 UTC of 25 March 2010.
ARE YOU RETIRED?: Also note that colonizers who haven't participated in any of the last three colonizations will be moved to the retirement list. Quite frankly, I'm doing this primarily because I have to post each of these notices by hand (I don't have a bot, and sure could use one), and it takes a long time to post to the pages of people who are inactive in IC and even on Uncyclopedia. If you're put on the retirement list and want back on the active list, simply post a request on the IC talk page.
KEEP CHECKING THE IC TALK PAGE: Many important decisions and updates are made and/or described on the IC talk page that are never posted on user talk pages.
POST COMMENTS ON IC TALK. As usual, if you post them on your talk page, I'll likely never see them.
WHY'S REPLACEMENT NEED:
A special added reminder that I, Why do I need to provide this? aka
IC Buccaneer Admiral WHY??? (stratagems) , am only interim director of IC and need a replacement. My intention was to lead IC just long enough to get it revived, which is a major part of the reason I took the title Buccaneer Admiral instead of Admiral of the Fleet, which is the official title of the head of Imperial Colonization. I plan to abandon ship retire shortly after midnight (UTC) on Saturday, 17 April 2010. I would really like someone to work with me on the current colonization, and I will be happy to assist whoever replaces me during the transition--I do not plan to leave IC, only retire as head. If you're interested, post a note at IC Admiral of the Fleet needed.
Happy colonizations!

VFS reaches third and final round, Uncyclopedians bored to tears
Once again, the Rabbi appears to be in pole position, and there are rumours that Mordillo is already preparing him a traditional Jewish banstick, such is his current lead. Meanwhile, Sock and Chief are neck-and-neck for the second slot, polling three votes each currently. When he interviewed himself for this article, lazy journalist UU exclusively told us: "this reflects well on the site - we have three great, very strong candidates, any and all of whom would do a great job if opped. And a number of those who didn't make it to round 3 will probably make a much stronger showing next time. If there is a next time." All that remains now is to see how the final few days affect the vote, and who finally gets the supreme honour of being able to go delete every single page of shitloads of crappy games that have been nommed on VFD, and the like. Joins us next week for the "From Our Logs" new admin special, when we analyse their first bans, and watch as these new admins mercilessly ban the unlucky loser and abuse their new powers flagrantly. Hopefully. Top 5 Of-The-Months Become 90% Cheesier
Well known and completely badass user CheddarBBQ, known for his increasing his own self-image, and for being one of the coolest guys ever, has now set a record by being nommed for all four "big" nominations in the same month. Even more impressive, he has been nommed for these four without doing much of anything deserving of awards (besides the aforementioned alleged coolness and/or badassedness). The always tasty Eyetallyan snackfood has been able to hold tightly to last place in each one of these all month. When asked about his newfound record, the great man/food had this to say: "I always knew I was special. The bag of cheese curls that I referred to as "Mommy" for 15 years would tell me so on a regular basis. Also, suck it bitchez." Of course the amazing record-breaker would think well of himself, so we went elsewhere, to question his adopted son, Momo. When asked about the excitement over the record, Momo claimed, "Papa De La Rosa is, like, the greatest dad ever, I used to have so much fun with him when I was little. Ya know, he once left me inside an oven when I was a baby, went for a beer and got me out the following morning. That was fun, I'm tellin' ya. And when I was 4, he left me in an amusement park, went for a beer and came to pick me up a whole week later. I spent that week with that nice guy who kept touching my ass.. Good times.. When I was 7, he took me for a beer. And by the age of 14, we were running our small liquor-smuggling business.. Oh yeah, he's a great guy." Curiously, his comment did not much relate to the matter at hand, yet it was deemed necessary to include it anyway. It appears to be abundantly clear that Cheddar is a marvel of a man whom we can all look up to. In other news, it appears that Don Chedds is about to set another record by being the first Uncyclopedian to drastically lose all five major awards in one month. It appears to be abundantly clear that Cheddar is a marvel of a man whom we can all look up to. Here's to you, CheddarBBQ. Oh yeah, and some other people had something to do with it as well. Note: The writer of this article has decided that a fact check as to whether or not either of these are true records would be unnecessary. |

[edit] IC Replacement
As you may remember, I took over IC when I got volunteered by somebody and agreed to do it temporarily to get it moving. That's happened--we've had two successful colonizations, Creationism and Batman, the first of which was featured and the second which is currently nommed on VFH. We're working on our third, Discordianism, under my big cheesy leadership, and to give enough time to complete it and to find a suitable replacement, I've announced I'm retiring from the leadership position as of 17 April 2010.
My question is, how is my replacement chosen? Is it an admin decision, does IC do it by vote, do I decide (although even if I could I'd do it with the consensus of colonizers)?

VFS Finishes, New Admins Unleashed, UnSignpost already struggling for material for next week
What does this mean? Well, it means there are now two more Brits armed with bansticks loose on the wiki. Their chirpy, endearing optimism and approachability has already been replaced by the dead-eyed stare and world-weary cynicism required by sysophood, and their friends on the wiki have all turned into suck-ups looking for joke bans. When asked for comments, the Rabbi told us: "I'm willing to accept bribes for huffing articles, banning users, replacing pages with goatse and so on and plan to become as corrupt as possible in as short a time as possible". He also said, when accused of being a "Big Tough Admin Guy": ""Big" - indisputably, but it's all fat; "Tough" - only if you mean chewy; "Admin" - yes, can't argue with that one; "Guy" - only until I've saved enough for the operation". Chief hadn't commented at the time of going to press, so we made something up: "I'm going to ban everyone, I have judged this wiki, and found it wanting. All must pay", he might have said. Of course, this situation also means the long-overdue return of the wildly popular Votes for Sandwiches. Already, 3 bread-based snacks have been suggested, and voting is expected to be fierce. Finally, it also means that the UnSignpost, which has leaned heavily on VFS for Frat party; Bring your own kegger Finally the fraternal (and sisternal) instincts of Uncyclopedia's finest minds have a place that they can call their own. ΥΣΣ, otherwise more easily pronounceably known as Upsilon Sigma Sigma, has been founded in the cellar of one of our newest members, who has already earned the level of respect and admiration that many of our members feel. Skinfan13 has taken the initiative of an entrepreneur and put this together with nothing but a jovial spirit and a little bit of random whoring on an excessive amount of member's talk pages.
In their own charter, they claim that they stand for three thing, being Humor, Honor and Hubris, even if they are unable to spell two of them in English. Already boasting membership of some of the finest that Uncyclopedia has to offer, including the founder of Der Unwehr and its highest point holding member, it is focused on creating one quality article per month via collaboration. However, rather than covering the same ground so amply covered by Imperial Colonization, it chooses to take its inspiration from one of most neglected sources, Wanted Pages. However, not content to simply cater to those who like to work together on articles, they also have another focus in their writing sights - Requested Articles. And the third major focus is the betterment of articles by non members through their unstinting work on Pee Review. While this is still in it's infancy the fraternity/sisternity is looking for For those who are after more information, feel free to check out ΥΣΣ today. Or tomorrow, if that works better for you. The bar is always open, although not always stocked. |

[edit] Hi theres
Despite your having set up a collaboration page, I brought this idea up again, since it is by far my best one. You're welcome to participate in setting up the office. It will not be a user group but rather an idea tank, to steer writing when a writer is stuck. But we talked about it last year. -- Random

The Newspaper That Gets Its News Solely From Vandalism Johnny Is Teh FAGXORZ!!111 SHUT UP DOUCHEBAG!!11

We deliver on our promises As stated in last weeks edition of the USP, VFS is over, and we've run out of material to be able to fill this particular edition. Discussion about what to include in here has been vast and varied. Sockpuppet of an unregistered user suggested we write an article about how it's his birthday today, but how are we going to be able to write an entire article about his birthday? Especially when the bastard hasn't invited us to his party or shared any of his cake with us. Other suggestions included writing the value of π to the first 1,000 digits, or planting drugs on an admin. As none of the regular writers are able to do anything mathematical, and we attempted to plant drugs on an admin, but they mysteriously disappeared before we could discover them, those options were excluded. So instead we have gone back to suggestions for what we were going to do for the April Fool's day issue, where EMC suggested we have an article which simply showed someone being hit in the face with a pie. Working on the assumption that a picture is worth one thousand words, this seems to incorporate elements from most of the ideas we have had so far. If you are interested in helping to Spinning some new yarns
Intrigued, your ever-alert UnSignpost asked the project's founder, Multiliteralist, for some quotes, preferably lengthy ones for the sake of padding. He responded: "You like the truth, don't you? But you don't like it the way it is now? Join us." Which is all well and good, but doesn't exactly fill this article out anything like enough. Fortunately, he added: "Our door is open for anyone with - in the words of Sir Humphrey Appleby - some moral flexibility." That was slightly more helpful for our purposes. Fortunately, however, he followed that up with: "Early this year, I felt something was missing in the world. That something was

Something Scary This Way "Comes"
A recent infestation of glowing dildos has taken over the front page of Uncyclopedia. Many users were shocked on April 11th when they opened up their web browsers and were treated to bright green replicas of EugeneKay's penis. Everywhere. Even poor anti-Semite Mel Gibson couldn't escape the wrath of the glowing dick. And the reason for the Scream in Edvard Munch's famous painting was revealed - turns out to have been caused by a hoard of giant glowing EugeneKay penises - an understandable reaction. When asked to comment on the matter, users simply refused to acknowledge that they had seen the penises at all. "Well, I for one didn't notice anything. Glowing penii are so common around here that these particular examples of illuminated manhood really didn't make an impression..." said Aleister in Chains. HELPME had a different outlook on the whole matter: "of course I noticed, how couldn't I? They were everywhere!" he exclusively told our intrepid reporter. Random internet traffic took notice of the infestation as well, with 127.0.0.1 commenting" "Ballsack!!!11 alolololololololooll pasfsdkjfhaelkfjds PENIS PENIS PENIS." He was promptly banned. The infestation passed almost as quickly as it came and a sense of normalcy returned to the main page when the penises retreated into the dark and abysmal graveyard of unused image files. By April 13th, all traces of the Great Penis Invasion of April 11-13 2010 (as it is now being called) were gone. There are, however, unconfirmed reports that the menace still lingers close to the main page, just waiting to strike again soon. I See IC All At Sea
We didn't need to ask the outgoing Admiral for a comment, as he was falling over himself to give us plenty, so we randomly selected the following: "I'm anal for accuracy", he told us. Among other things. Anyway, if you want to follow in Why?'s footsteps, and those of his illustrious predecessors in charge of the Colonization project, you can sign up to be considered for the post here. If it helps, you may wear a nice hat (please provide your own hat). |

Why did you delete my edit to this page? I thought it was an improvement over a list of purely random ideas, because it shortened it by 2 and added a more original one. --Sbluen 04:59, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Anyways, since you're not on right now, I'm just going to make my edit again until you give a better explanation. --Sbluen 03:25, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Since MrN is currently not here permit me to make something clear to you for him. If an administrator deletes a page or reverts a contribution you make to a page and you wish to take issue with it then you wait for a reply from the administrator, or if they are not around you take it up with another administrator. You most certainly do not restore whatever was deleted and justify it through the absence of that admin, do it again and you will end up banned. I hope I am making myself clear. --ChiefdusticeJS 12:03, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Vote now for Colonisation
Hello ladies, gentlemen, and other,
As you may be aware we have now reached the point where April's Colonisation, Discordianism, has been successfully moved to mainspace, and we are currently voting on our colonisation for May.
As I have been press-ganged encouraged strongly to take the reigns of IC, I'm sending this out to remind all current and previous members of IC to vote on next months colonisation. Voting is taking place here as we speak. As of 1st of May I will be announcing the page that will get our tender mercies, so I encourage you to vote - or nominate - now.
Good luck, and may the farce be with you!
- Discordianism has been added to VFH. Go, read, enjoy, vote.

[edit] UnSignpost 1 May
The Periodical That Is Too Sexy For Its Shirt, Among Other Things
April 22nd 1st May, 2010 • Issue 85 • Insert penis joke here
|
The launch of a new and exciting weekend edition. Maybe. "Where is my signpost?" was the cry heard from the world wide masses this week. "There should have been an issue on the 22nd and on the 29th, and nothing seems to have been done about it." Fear not, gentle reader, for the signpost will not go gentle into the good night. We have instead taken a brief hiatus for no reason that we could conceivably come up with, and now we are back in a blaze of glory. For those who are unaware of our proud history, the next issue, coming out this Thursday, will mark the (roughly) 2 year anniversary of the creation of the UnSignpost, the unperiodic periodical started by Dr. Skullthumper and Cajek. The good doctor, at the time of the first issue, was asked what his feelings were towards creating the first formalised forum for spam within Uncyclopedia. It was from this that we now have the immortal words "Those assholes better appreciate this. They'd BETTER." Now, two years on from those words of wit and wisdom, the UnSignpost is still There have been varied reports as to why the USP has not been released. One suggestion is that regular contributors just "couldn't be bothered writing." Others have suggested that it comes down to the unwillingness of the head editor, who was recently heard to say "I'm so against... this... again... (E)xistence is far more than (it) deserves."[1] One of the more probable reasons for the lack of issues may be that the news has now gone viral, and is available more readily through facebook then it has been previously. One facebook semi-regular, who bears a remarkable resemblance to a Silent Bob inaction figure, has said of this development "Excuse me, but I think your geek is showing." Dexter111344 supported the move to the social networking site by saying "I won't be joining as I don't intend to ever make a Facebook." Another possibility is the number of users now communicating via UnSkypelopedia. When asked for a comment, EMC said "OH FUCKING CHRIST I'VE CUM" Dr.Skullthumper, however, said "I started both of them.", and then wished to make reference to some forum or something. Ethine, however, was somewhat more constructive, informing this reporter that "Since it's getting close to summer, we'll likely have more calls, as most people's schedules are slowing down. As well as calls, we have the neat little chat thing at the bottom, where everyone sexually harasses each other when calls aren't going." Despite several attempts, I still haven't been sexually harassed. One reason why users have not been as distracted recently is due to the enormous amount of work going on at PEE review. At present there are articles waiting for review which have been there for over three weeks. For all those who are looking to get the review process back and alive, please pick up an article for review today. Your time and investment into this proud tradition can create the next great article, like the recently featured A wizard did it or the recently nominated UnNews:Windows 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 came out, hailed by some as "the most profound and groundbreaking article to hit Uncyclopedia in over 50 years" Another reason why many users may be distracted is the number of collaborations that are currently in progress. Of those there is Tim Burton, being cleaned up by the team at ΥΣΣ, lead by the fantastic Skinfan13. Also starting to make some ground in the spread of reliable information is the team at Multiliteralist/Summit of Spin, lead by the wonderful Multiliteralist. And of course, coming out blinking from seeing the light of Discordianism is the ever faithful Imperial colonization, lead by everyone's favourite canine, And of course, another reason might simply be that the team here at USP are all running around arranging bake sales to assist with Poo Lit Surprise, the bi-annual competition that actually gives prizes to the winners. The most likely explanation, however, is that nothing newsworthy ever happens on Uncyclopedia |

Howdy MrN. I have this article that I've done as a rewrite for the Tony Stark page, but I'm unsure how to go about it. Can I just copy and paste, or am I supposed to go through the whole VFD thing? --Matfen 09:19, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
- Since MrN is a little inactive at the moment, I'll answer for him. You can just copy and paste yours over; I have looked them both through and yours looks far better, and the text is spaced out. Just copy and paste, call it a rewrite, pay me a small gratuity and head home. --ChiefdusticeJS 09:22, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Conservation Week Approaches
Fancy watering Uncyclopedia's forestry? Want to be a good conservationist? Fancy taking up the rewriting sword of justice, and righteously smiting the dragon of shit writing? Actually, the hell with that, do you want to take a bunch of bad articles, and make them suck less? Then you, my friend, are in luck! Conservation Week 2010 starts on July 5th, and actively encourages users to scour the wiki (perhaps through judicious use of Special:Random, or possibly through exploration of Category:Rewrite or Category:Ideas or even Special:Lonelypages), find lame articles that they consider are taking up the very space which could be occupied by something less sucky, and then using their skill and judgement to turn those articles into shining examples of comedic writing. As this is a competition dedicated to simultaneously reducing the number of useless articles on the wiki and increasing the number of good ones, some naysayers believe it to be completely pointless - Uncyclopedia is the worst, they say, and no amount of well-intentioned competitions can change that. But were it to exist, the Cabal would probably beg to differ. They may call it something like "a genuinely good thing", and "a ray of hope, signalling that occasionally, even the most worthless dreck may be redeemed". So if you think what your userpage is missing is a template called the "Greasy Mechanic Award", then prepare to rewrite like you've never re-written before. Just don't forget to make your new version better than the original. Something summarizing the events of the last month or so It has been said by one of our esteemed administrators here at UnSignpost that if it wasn't reported in the UnSignpost, then it didn't happen. As there has been no UnSignpost produced for the last few days, due to one of the editors having a real life, and another one being lazy, there are several things that didn't happen. Yes, the loss of the UnSignpost for so long sent a shiver down the spines of many an Uncyclopedian. So much so that one member of the community decided that it was timely to look at a new way to produce the UnSignpost. One such idea was to release a monthly periodical in the place of USP. Although there has been several attempts by this reporter to obtain a quote from said insurrectional community member, to date no response has been heard. As part of the ongoing struggle to maintain our independent stance from Wikia, several members decided that it would be a wise idea to create a way to cash in on the popularity of the site. As such the UnShoppe has been created, where you may purchase any one of a number of Uncyclopedia-related pieces of merchandise. So far all purchases have been made by the individuals who created the store. However, if you are looking for the place to buy a shirt that shows that your nipples have been featured, that a wizard did something, whatever it was, and that you have an in-depth knowledge of who Dan Kwon is. There was a competition. Congratulations go to mrthejazz, who got the pun. Imperial Colonisation has taken a brief hiatus after the new head of IC became the old head of IC. He was an Australian, and his example has inspired the entire nation so much that the new head of Parliament for the country is now the old head of parliament. Congratulations go out to the new new head of IC. A strange bandwagon has been created by a drunken Bonner, who has challenged all and sundry to ask him anything at all. As such there are various forums dedicated to asking regular Uncyclopedian members things. These previously were known as user talk pages, but who can stand in the way of progress? And that's all that didn't happen. Although now it's listed in UnSignpost that means it actually did happen. Which suggests that by editing UnSignpost I have the power to change the past. If I could change anything about the past, what would it be? I had sex with a real person![1]

Things getting boring on the wiki? Time to write at speed!
We're still waiting for that, but until it arrives, Skull's hour-long writing contest will do nicely. Shamelessly pinching Cajek's idea of time-limited writing competitions (which brought us such classics as HowTo:Sexually Stimulate an Ant, lest we forget), but putting his own distinct spin on it, Uncyc's own mad Doctor challenged Uncyclopedians to write an article in a single hour that would survive VFD. Given Uncyclopedia's well-known exacting quality standards, this promised to be a tough task, but a surprising number of people were up for it. And so it was that a frenzy erupted across the wiki, and baffled Europeans and other users not around at the time awoke the next day to a slew of brand new articles, not all of which ended up being deleted. They liked the idea so much, they held their own a couple of days later. When asked to comment on his brainchild, the commotion and excitement it had caused, and the size of his penis, Dr. Skullthumper exclusively told us "Sure. I'll get on that. I swear". Things getting boring on the wiki? Time to start pointless drama! Giant evil multinational wiki-hosting conglomerate Wikia won a major victory last month, when a rebellion by a small but dedicated band of anti-capitalist radicals was brutally put down by a bunch of fascistic Wikia-collaborators. Or at least, that's what happened in the heads of Carlb, Roye7777777 and CartoonistHenning after they nailed their anti-Wikia manifesto to the metaphorical door of Uncyclopedia's metaphorical Wittenberg Cathedral. The 1,000-word anti-Wikia tract, despite the shocking and previously unknown revelation that Wikia was not in fact the wiki-hosting charity that it claimed to be, but rather a commercial company, failed to ignite a spontaneous revolt against Wikia among the Uncyclopedia community. A heated and sexually-charge discussion ensued, with strong arguments offered by both sides. However, it seems that some people were unable to grasp the enormity of the revelation that Wikia's motives were less than altruistic. Eventually, the thread descended into an all-out flamewar and a waaaaaaaaaaaaaahmbulance was called to treat the injured. "We may have lost this round," Carlb told UnSignpost reporters "but it is only a temporary setback. One day, the tyranny of Wikia will be no more. Our revenge will be the laughter of our children." It is rumoured that Carlb, Roye7777777 and CartoonistHenning will employ Black Bloc tactics at the next Wikia conference in an attempt to escalate the struggle against Wikia oppression. |

Conservation week: how's it going, and what is it anyway?
Conservation week has been running since autumn 2007, starting life in Jocke Pirat's userspace, and spending a confused few hours being called the rewrite-a-thon in an early attempt to get around the whole week-fortnight thing. The first iteration was a resounding success, and about 38 people signed up to rewrite over 50 articles (with Zombiebaron hilariously missing the point and going on a deletion spree instead), making the current iteration look like it has some work to do. However, there was no quality control at the outset - if an article was rewritten in any way, that was deemed good enough. Some of those early articles may well have been made worse, we just don't know (or can't be bothered to check). Quality control arrived later on, when erstwhile gentleman editor of this very organ Gerrycheevers stepped up to run the first 2009 CW, and ran the rule over all the rewrites personally, so that the attendant award was only bestowed on those doing quality rewrites. That task this year falls to Dexter111344, who has promised to be "harsh but harsh". Probably. So, with a prize on offer to the person with the most high quality rewrites, and plenty of time left in which to do said rewrites, the only question left is: "why haven't you entered yet"? We asked this question of one completely random user, and he exclusively told us "because I'm busy writing this week's issue of the UnSignpost, duh!" Image Request: A Retrospective
Established in March 2005 by a user called Machinecurse, this page has been the domain of most of the legends of Uncyc image manipulation at one time or another - as one 'chopper has left, another has arisen to take their place, in some kind of Potatochop Royal Succession stylee. Or something. Whatever, the likes of Paulgb, Zombiebaron, Seeker, Sonje and, more recently, KneeChee27 and MeepStarLives have slaved over hot image editing software to fulfil the esoteric image requirements of the Uncyclopedia populace. The response time has always varied on the page, as it largely depends on how active the 'choppers are at the time, how achievable the requests actually are, and how polite the request is. But for those with a little patience, it is undoubtedly a useful resource in the ongoing quest for that perfect image of Mario and Master Chief riding Pikachu down the Death Star Trench run. Or something. Have a look at the gallery to see some of the more recent work. |

[edit] Re one of your Top 10 of 2009 votes from January 2010
|
Dear Mr/Ms MrN9000, Greetings. I am the lawyer for Arthur C. Clarke's estate. Last summer, following the listing of an article on this website (henceforth referred to as "Uncyclopedia"), namely the article titled 2001: A Space Odyssey, as a featured article, I and my assistant began to prepare a copyright infringement suit against you, and were about to file it in December 2009 when both of us were attacked violently by the user MacMania, who was imprisoned for his central role in this infringement, but had apparently escaped custody to exact revenge against us. Needless to say, MacMania was once again taken into custody, but we lapsed into a comatose state. However, now that we have woken up, we have found out, much to our chagrin and dismay, that you have further encouraged such infringing actions by selecting 2001: A Space Odyssey as the number 2 article of 2009, and that England once again failed to make the World Cup final. We must, of course, take further action, and would like to notify you that unless Uncyclopedia's administrators take action, we will press the following charges: 1. continued support, encouragement, and flaunting of copyright infringement; 2. indirectly causing severe physical harm to me and my assistant; 3. potentially providing shelter to Paul the Octopus, whose psychic powers clearly drastically demoralized the English national football team against the German team, which is an unspeakably criminal act. We will drop these charges only if you agree to furnish us with a Paul the Octopus voodoo doll* for our perusal. Please let us know if this is possible. Your obedient servant (strictly in a figurative sense) |
Better late than never, or at least that's the thought. (I guess you might not be around right now, so maybe there is such a thing as being too late ...) (Sorry about the length of this, by the way.) Horribly belated thanks for voting 2001: A Space Odyssey into #2 of 2009!

The 40+ club expands
We asked them all for quotes, and Mhaille exclusively told us: ""Go eat more shit, fuckers"...obviously I am excited to have reached the BIG 4-0, and am delighted that enough of my peers deem the quality of my work good enough to have reached that figure, although I have to say I'm a little pissed that at least 10 other of my articles are feature-worthy and are constant overlooked (lengthy bans will ensue, I'm sure), I am equally as proud of my featured images, as well as many of my other contributions that I hope that my peers feel have augmented the work of others. That I am still here after five long years, and still contributing says something about Uncyclopedia itself. What that is, I wouldn't like to speculate. But sometimes you have to in order to accumulate. Apparently." Which is such a long quote we're going to need at least one blatant filler box in the right-hand panel. Bastard. Meanwhile, Modus exclusively told us "It's not that myself and Mhaille have written so very many great and fantastic pages that have, and will continue to, entertain the people for years to come. It's just that Mhaille did. "I" am one of his many sockpuppets. He writes as "Modusoperandi" when he needs a page without a "foreign" accent. Look around. There are a bunch more Mhaille sockpuppets here, too. Hyperbole, for one. Mhaille is like a wet Mogwai." Which is more concise, and therefore OK. Finally, Hype exclusively commented: "I'd like to say thank you to Uncyclopedia for voting to feature my many excellent, high-quality articles, including the drunken insistence that you accept a diseased poodle, the song about having sex with sporting goods, and the blatantly racist tirade about having to wait too long for a Pee Review. Writing 39.5 features has been literally the most important accomplishment I will ever have in my life. I look forward to continuing to service each and every one of you in the future." Which was nice of him. So, the burning question now has to be: who will be first to 50? Modus obviously has the lead, but Mhaille is writing in greater volume than he has for some time, and if Hype keeps up the pace, he's probably a good bet. But they're not the only candidates - Sog is coming up the rails rapidly, and could reach the 40 mark even quicker than Hype - could he overtake the lot of them? The only thing certain is that with these guys around, Uncyc should be assured of some half-decent articles amongst the dross. World Cup over - Romartus struggling for UnNews inspiration
The scourge of Junior Uncyclopedia has discovered his muse in the planet's biggest sporting event, and has been cranking out UnNews articles on the subject at an alarming rate. Now, without Jabulani balls, biting tackles and Messi long shots to inspire him, what is there to inspire him to maintain such prolific standards? Suspicions abound that the Tour De France is passing him by, he seems far too English to care about the various draft and transfer shenanigans in the NFL and NBA and the like, and as the only story to emerge from golf's Open Championship so far is Tiger Woods changing his putter (wow, someone hold me back), that seems unlikely to unleash his inner news-hound. With a worrying lack of global sporting tournaments on the horizon, will we have to wait another 4 years for the next Romartus article splurge? Stay tuned to UnNews to find out! |

UnNews hits warp factor Whore
That bastard child of Uncyclopedia and WikiNews, UnNews, is in full-on whoring mode. Tired of being relegated to the bilge hold of Uncyc, staff have collectively and to a man, woman or it, decided to resort to the time-honored tradition of whoring themselves for attention. 2010 is shaping up to be a record year for lots of stuff, which I am too lazy to actually reference. We've had lots of cool coding happenings, resulting in a facelift to the Main Page, and a really cool navigation bar giving access to a plethora (well, 7 sections in fact) of sections including Sports, Comics, Editorials, and special coverage of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Contributors to UnNews of note are Funnybony, SPIKE, Romartus, Modusoperandi, Mordillo, Multiliteralist, PuppyOnTheRadio, Happytimes, Matt lobster and MrN9000 (when the bugger's here). Apologies to anybody I've missed. The Newsroom, home to nefarious plots and odd ideas, has once again become an active core of resistance against Uncyc's unofficial policy of ignoring us. Always leading edge, UnNews is acquiring a stable of notable personalities for a new series of Uncolumns called "Reductio ad Hitlerum", a guest column that invites persons of note to do an article for us, usually under threat of blackmail. Discussion here, first RaH column here by guest Sarah Palin. Techno gets Mhaille'd
The award is, unusually on vote-happy Uncyclopedia, not decided on by voting, but is bestowed at the sole discretion of feature-monster, bureaucrat, whoring legend and token Liverpool fan Mhaille, according to his own criteria. Looking down the list of previous winners - Shandon, ENeGMA, Tompkins, Zombiebaron, Prettiestpretty, Savethemooses and the rest, it's pretty clear that the good Rabbi is a) in good company, and b) not going to be here much longer. |

VFD minimum time limit introduced
Further to that, the minimum score required for deletion is in the process of being clarified, so that either a score of at least +5 in favour of deletion will be required before the trigger-happy admins fire up their huffing devices, or 5 keep votes will automatically exempt an article from deletion. One of those. Probably. The number 5 seems certain to be involved, whatever the outcome. Hopefully, this will ensure that BUTT POOP is never deleted again. At least, such is our understanding. Sorry about that. We will now follow this with an article with no relation to news whatsoever, to try and make it up to you. Uncyc Fantasy Football draft off to racing start
So far, the results have surpassed the expectations of all except noted optimist Bradaphraser. Three days in, and seven of the record fourteen competitors have picked a single player each, making this the slowest process since BP started trying to cap that goddamn oil leak. This year's competition promises to be more open than the last, including as it does Joe9320, who admits to knowing nothing about the sport, preferring AFL, and noted British namby-pamby "soccer" fan UU, who has somehow agreed to become an Indianapolis Colts fan for the duration of the season. Hence his adding a picture of what he is assured is the awesome Peyton Manning into this very article. With the likes of the here-one-week-gone-for-a-month Gerrycheevers also involved in the process, it could well end up taking long enough to be ready by the start of the 2011-12 season. |

UnReviews - get involved!
So how can YOU help? Well, we would have thought that was obvious, to be honest, but as we're dealing with Uncyclopedians here, we'll make it a little clearer: write an UnReview! You could go down the road of Modus's magnum opus UnMovie Review: The Dark Knight, and make a movie review, you could get all cultured on our asses, and go Shakespearian, or you could review something else entirely. The choice is, quite literally, yours! Something helpful this way comes
TKF has already started the ball rolling with a challenging audio request which is likely to be an early acid test for the project. If you have a Casio keyboard and some decent audio skills, get across there and get this thing working! So, how can you get involved? Well, if you are skilled at adding awesome to pages in some way, watchlist the page, check it regularly, and stop hogging your wiki-fu to yourself! If you are in need of added awesomeness on your page, pop in a request and see what happens. If nothing else, it'll make Meep feel good about himself, and that's what it's all about, when you get right down to it. Right? |
