Uncyclopedia:Imperial Colonization

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

(Redirected from Colonization)

Imperial Colonizations are very much similar to Wikipedia's "collaborations," and involve a group of people working to improve the week's article. Each week a new article will be chosen for the effort.

The week's pick must be a well known person, place, or thing so as to allow the largest group of people to contribute to its making. The pick can be a pre-existing article, in which case it will be re-written, or it can be a completely new article that has not yet been made.

The goal is to create an article that is of a high quality, perhaps even high enough quality to be featured. But in the very least, it will help to extend Uncyclopedia's coverage of areas and do so in a smashingly fun way.

[edit] Rules

[edit] Next Weeks Nominations

[edit] The Big Lebowski

Score: +3

This actually has some pretty decent stuff in it already, and could prolly be betterified nicely. Also, dude. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 15:32, Jun 30
For I'd certainly put in some work on this one. -RA HB
For One of my favorite movies of all time. -OptyC Sucks! cun13:24, 12 Jul

[edit] Richard Nixon

Score: +4

The Entire series of presidential articles with the exception of George W. Bush is in an absolutely deplorable shape. Nixon isn't one of the worst, but it's a place to start. ~

That crazy bastard needs a good article. Why not? The Eiffel Tower is getting a champagne bar, so why NOT rewrite this?!? --Dexter111344 Complain here... Vote here today! 19:59, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Zappa

Score: +4

I know we have a lot of Zappa fans here, and I think it's high time we gave this man an article worthy of the heading of "Frank Zappa." -RA HB 03:01, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Cream cheese -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 02:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Score: +4

Same reasoning as McDonald's. ~ Cajek! <16:09, 07 Jul 2008>
I came here to nominate this one, and you beat me to the punch sir. This needs it. For The Woodburninator (woodtalk) (woodstalk) 16:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Same reasoning as McCajek... Mr N 17:23, Jul 12
What, we're voting now? Okay. For. --SYNDROME _{MUN medicate} 20:08, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Death

Score: +2

I would think it is a fairly well-seen article, and right now it is just a bunch of crappy lists. I figure we could do a pretty good job with it. The Woodburninator (woodtalk) (woodstalk) 20:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
For Though I've always thought redirecting to You are dead may be a nice idea too. -RA HB 04:28, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I think this might be the best shot. Could this perhaps happen? The Woodburninator (woodtalk) (woodstalk) 06:24, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hell

Score: +4

McDonald's, Wal★Mart, Death, and now Hell. I see a patern. -- Kip teh Dip • Talk • Works • Faq • Vote in '08 • 20:33, Jul. 7, 2008

[edit] Wayne's World

Score: +1

I am surprised we don't have a Wayne's World article! ----_Mgr. _Sir Sonic80^☭ 00:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] John McCain

Score: +2

The article is lackluster, there's lots of potential for many to contribute, and the timing is ripe. ~Sir Rangeley GUN WotM UotM EGA +S (talk) 00:53, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
yep. I think this would be more entertaining to edit, because (probably) most of the editors are pro-Obama. Although Obama could be funny, too... ~ Cajek! <0:55, 08 Jul 2008>

[edit] Barack Obama

Score: +1

Similarly it's a lackluster article with potential. ~Sir Rangeley GUN WotM UotM EGA +S (talk) 00:53, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh dear. This used to be quite good and was vfhed a while back. It appears nobody has been watching it and holding back the IP floodwaters. -- 15Mickey20 (talk to Mickey) 11:24, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Reverted to an earlier, much better version. Have it on my watchlist now too. -RA HB 11:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chess

Score: +1

Has some good bits in it. Overall, it might not be the most popular article, but it's popular enough to do a rewrite IMHO. ~ Cajek! <15:30, 08 Jul 2008>

I think ZB has a re-write tucked away somewhere. Will we ever see it though? Mr N

23:24, Jul 10

That's not a rewrite. That was me and Kalir (and Codeine and Mordillo) actually playing chess. -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 07:35, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Heath Ledger

Score: +2

This was recently nominated for VFD, but was kept. I think some people could probably make it better than what it is now, possibly drawing inspiration from its award winning first version. -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 07:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps we should just revert to the original, add the category, lock it, and call it a day? Oh, then feature. Just an idea... --Dexter111344 Complain here... Vote here today! 13:03, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Abstain, I am rewriting this for the PLS, just for your information. --_Mgr. _Sir Sonic80^☭ 14:04, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Egypt

Score: +1

I really don't know what's going on here. It looks a bit like vanitycruft. It was moved to a page with a stupid name in 2005, and I can't find much on here besides recycled jokes. We can do better than this. --SYNDROME _{MUN medicate} 20:08, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sex

Score: +1

Really? This is what we have for sex? This is it? This makes me sad ladies and gentlemen. Real sad. And it sure is getting mighty crowded in here. Just sayin'. The Woodburninator (woodtalk) (woodstalk) 06:24, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
