- I started editing here when I was unemployed, and for the last few years I've mainly been a phone jockey - thereby having a low work load and constant access to Internet at work. I'm back in management, so have to focus creative energy to get paid. I'll probably be back here regularly at some stage, but just not right now.

International Star Wars Day  Once again it is that time of year when we must take a day off to remember those who fought for the Rebels against the evil empire. As you know Uncyclopedia has a large Jedi community and to reach out to all our religious groups no matter how liberal they are we muast help them with their festivals. What will you do on International Star Wars day? Perhaps you shall visit the temple and pray for the dead of Hoth? Perhaps you will use the force for good and strangle some politicians? Whatever it is that you want to do Uncyclopedia is there to support you. One user who will remain nameless, is going to attempt to raise money for charity by speaking in Jedi for the whole day. The money he collects will go to Nobody Cares
Nobody has been handing out welcome messages to people recently signed with different admins names and nobody was concered by the huge discussion on a forum about it. Nobody would like to apolagise for this because to be quite frank Nobody did it. Many admins were getting quite frustrated that Nobody had done it as they had wanted to do the welcome messages instead. It was later discovered by Spike that it wasn't Nobody (Nobody disagrees) that had done it (excuse my grammar) but that it was an automated Wikia message. This has caused some members of our community to vent even more frustration with Wikia however this newspaper would like to point out that Wikia has done a lot to benefit us and Nobody agrees that the welcome message (and content warning) has been very useful. The fact that the message has now been stopped is thanks to the admins sorting the problem out with Wikia so on this note Nobody would like to thank the admins for their help in running this site. Also Nobody cares about UnSignpost and Nobody is moved that there are a lack of articles submitted to UnSignpost to be featured in the newspaper. UnSignpost would therefore like to remind you that it is vital to support your community newspaper as it supports the community.

edit Template:Oh Dear
Thanks for editing this so that it gives a signature. Sir ScottPat 
CUN VFH UnS (talk) 07:41, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
- I just undid it. I prefer a three tilde sig - the date stamp is incorporated into my signature. There's no easy way to have it change between three and four tildes for user preference though. Sir CPT Dr GUN UmP WotM NotM FP VFP VFH CM POTM UGM 07:43 06 May 2013 <--three tilde
That's fine then. Thanks for your help though. Sir ScottPat CUN VFH UnS (talk) 07:45, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
- You could create a template of {{OD}} which would consist of the text of:
{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>Oh Dear}}
~~<noinclude></noinclude>~~
- which, if my wiki-fu is correct, give you the result you are after. It's been a while since I played with subst'ing and noincludes/includeonlys in templates though, so I'm not promising it'll be perfect. Sir CPT Dr GUN UmP WotM NotM FP VFP VFH CM POTM UGM 07:51 06 May 2013
- Okay - it has been done and tested. Sir CPT Dr GUN UmP WotM NotM FP VFP VFH CM POTM UGM 07:54 06 May 2013
Ahhhh! Edit-conflict. I hate them. Anyway my point I was going to make is invalid now as you have already changed it. Thanks. Sir ScottPat CUN VFH UnS (talk) 07:56, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
- This should always be
{{subst:OD}}anyway. Given the text just comes from {{Oh Dear}} that'd probably be better off with better protection. Sir CPT Dr GUN UmP WotM NotM FP VFP VFH CM POTM UGM 09:51 06 May 2013
edit Conservapedia
I am glad you are taking a look at this. I have not been to the Wikipedia article on it--I visited Conservapedia itself, once, and found it more didactic than conservative--but the article strikes me as a total (featured) rant, about everything from being, yuck!, conservative, to being not conservative enough, to not banning people for the right durations, with vanity comparable to Poptropica and Red Hot Pawn when we encountered them. Spıke ¬ 00:21 7-May-13
- I have a dislike of anything Schafly related. Conservapedia is the product of the youngest(?) Schafly, Andrew. Because of my personal dislike of the site I'm not too involved in that article, as I would become ranty myself. The core of this article was a parody of http://www.conservapedia.com/Uncyclopedia. The “ranty” aspect in that was taken as a parody of the source, as was the “too left leaning” concept. It could be stripped back to the original concept, as the concept has become muddled over time, but as I mentioned before, I may not be impartial enough to do this well. Sir CPT Dr GUN UmP WotM NotM FP VFP VFH CM POTM UGM 12:32 07 May 2013
I have no such personal dislike, but I always hate parodying ranters by exaggerating the rantiness; it usually doesn't work, sometimes doesn't come across as parody at all, and the reader wonders what the writer's agenda really is: create comedy or destroy his adversary with the adversary's own words. I could eventually do it right, but this is a FA (gawd!) and there are bigger fish to fry. Spıke ¬ 00:43 7-May-13
- Revert to featured version? We could probably improve it over time, but as an FA it means at that time it was considered one of our finest. (And I like the FA version myself.) Sir CPT Dr GUN UmP WotM NotM FP VFP VFH CM POTM UGM 12:54 07 May 2013
Compared to the FA, the current version has some small corrections, and some helpful large deletions, including my own of today. I would delete the external links as well: one to Conservapedia and another advocating a "better" conservative website. Spıke ¬ 01:13 7-May-13
- Oddly the Conservapedia page on Uncyclopedia links to the fork. Given how precious Conservapedia are about anyone not regular editing pages there I'm surprised that this edit got through. Sir CPT Dr GUN UmP WotM NotM FP VFP VFH CM POTM UGM 11:00 07 May 2013
edit Fifty shades of grey
I just ran across your page Fifty shades of grey. Very creative (I was gone for most of 2012 and missed the feature). There is a vote on the newest content warning page, for a new content warning. Please have a look. Hope all has been well, and profitable, and then some extra things too. Aleister 1:45 9-5-'13

Should we be adopting a Russian style approach?
 A full week has passed since our last edition and the news is piling up, notably the story for which we'd "clear Page One" if we ever had more than one page: This week was just like last week. The only exeption being that more evidence has led certain users to believe that Uncyclopedia is being controlled by a higher power. The evidence is listed here:
Warning: This article may be inappropriate for some viewers
Hurry, hurry! The next round of debates about the content warning have begun. Uncyclopedia is proud to present its third row over what should be written on the content warning. Tickets are available but there are only a limited number of places so please book in advance. Aleister kicked off with bringing the topic into a conversation with SPIKE on a completely unrelated forum, SPIKE immediatly reacted by calling off play and deciding to move to another pitch as this one was too wet and reminded Aleister that this strategy had been used twice before to no avail. Undetered Aleister replied by claiming that the first change worked but the second change reverted the content warning to the original and this time we'd get it right. Aleister then preceded to run up the pitch dribbling the ball through the midfielders. ScottPat ran down the wing screaming at Aleister to go for the goal now. Aleister who was about to storm off the pitch thanked ScottPat and continued. Shabidoo then charged down the other wing hurling attacks at the original content warning defenders who seemed to be non-existant before swearing so much he collapsed into a ball. Startled ScottPat replied that he didn't want top have anything to do with anti-Wikia extremism and Aleister lined up the ball for the shot into goal. Aleister placed the ball into the back of the net with a vote for the new content warning. ScottPat ran up to him patting him on the back and giving him a "for" followed by Simsie and Puppy. SPIKE then struck back attempting to shoot the ball into the back of the new content warning supporters' net with the opinion that readers don't care about the content warning although he saw that the other team were fierce and wrote to Wikia asking the content warning to be removed as it was no longer needed. Aleister, Puppy and ScottPat defended against him with three replies while Mhaille ran up the pitch and saw a goal scoring oppurtunity with another content warning proposal however Scottpat was unsure that that oppurtunity would get them the goal that the team were aiming for. Puppy stood with the ball wandering whether to pass it to Mhaille afterall but remained indecisive. That was a report of the game so far, more to come next week.

Is it time to have a site-wide Competition?
 A recent forum on village dump has brought the thought of having an article competition to the Uncyclopedian user masses. "Competitions would increase productivity of articles," claimed the forum writer ScottPat when interviewed by himself. Recent studies done by wikia authorities confirm this. The idea would be to have a panel of experienced judges (probably admins) who could judge the articles submitted by users. By having three judges there would be less opinionation. The articles can then be given scores out of 50 just like on pee review with some comments. The overall winner could be given a template and so could the winner of each individual category. Categories could be based on: humour, content, parody humour, satire, images and so on. If you would like to support this and want to have a competition then please do get in touch by voicing your opinions on the forum. This will surely help to make Uncyclopedia better and will be fun for everyone. A Reflection on the Week
 Summer holidays are coming and users seem to become more active. This shows that we are gradually recovering from the recent uneconomic downturn. For example an unknown IP vandal who seemed to be sleeping for the whole year and whose only contributions were to add several quotes here and there, is fully awake now. During the last two days (to be more accurate: nights) he was trying to realize a very carefully planned attack. He has added several quotes to at least 20 pages on Uncyclopedia. His goal was to... Well, no one knows what his goal was because it has not been achieved and Uncyclopedia has neither lost its high morality, nor encountered a major crisis. To be honest, everything that the vandal did in an hour (probably), has been undone in ... several minutes. Those who saved Uncyclopedia from external enemies and whom we can thank are: Simsilikesims (as always), Spike, ScottPat, Frosty, Llwy-ar-lawr and...ahem... me. Our advice to this person is to read Uncyclopedia:Vandalism is pointless, so he will not waste time and will maybe even begin making useful contributions. Other important news are:
