- Yes, I know, that's just the auto-generated huffing response. I prolly should've used an actual description, but meh. Anyways, I huffed it because it was really, really short, in the microstub category. If you'd like to work on it a bit more, though, I'll gladly bring it back for you. - Don Leddy the Crunch

Oldest Uncyclopedia Article Discovered  Renowned Uncyclopedia historian Spangle Gay Glittersprinkles, has discovered the oldest non-Uncyclopedia related article ever written. "The fact that pie was the first article really opened my eyes. It really did. I see it all now: Uncyclopedia, Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia... the construction and future of these wikis have been laid out before me." When asked what he meant, Spang said that, upon reading the first version of the article Pie, the future of Uncyclopedia was revealed to him. The version presently up is "but a pale shadow of what it once was." The fabled first version of the article is, according to Spang and fellow UnArcheologist TheLedBalloon, "The DaVinci Code of Uncyclopedia." One of the oldest contributors, 68.237.62.152, is said to be the creator of the fabled text, but could not be reached for comment... maybe 'cuz he was gettin' laid or somethin' cool like that. "If only the original version had survived!" Said Spang's lead balloon, who gained sentience upon glimpsing the article. "I want to know the significance of the Norris! The secret meaning behind the Wilde! The hidden power of the grue! I want to know the secret of the memes!" "First of all, how did a balloon become an administrator? Oh, right, this is Uncyclopedia." Said long-missing founder Chronarion. "Second of all, the current article you have up there is, although not as mystical, still sorta mystical... For example, look at that quote at the top! CLASSIC Oscar Wilde!" Questions arose as to why the original version was deleted in the first place, but Chronarion, who only made an appearance in one of our writer's drug trips, merely cackled, turned into a tomato, and vanished in a cloud of LULZ!!1. The mystery surrounding Pie continues, and Uncyclopedian historians are still seeking the truth. ...BUY A SUBSCRIPTION TO UNSIGNPOST to see further developments! Following Third Issue, UnSignpost Wins All Sortsa Awards n' Shit  At the annual Uncyclopedia Signpost awards banquet, held every year in Dr. Skullthumper's backyard, the Signpost was the clear winner of the night, garnishing all 149 awards in all 144 categories. The press was not invited to the gala, but the Unsignpost has heard that several Uncyclopedia celebrities were at the event. Mike - you know Mike - said, "Oh yeah, we got Chronarion and Save the... whatever it was... We got 'em all! We even had Famine! Even though he still hates us, he still bothered to show up and drunkenly berate the guests! In fact, I think he's still in there, berating the furniture!" Unsignpost writers all agree that it's not pathetic to give yourself an award once in a while. We do our chores! We've been kicked around! Why don't we, the writers, get any recognition? The special boobie-prize, The Feel Okay About Ourselves Award for 2008, was accepted by Cajek on behalf of the writers instead of a paycheck. "Finally I get a god damned award." One of the writers dramatically grabbed the award away onstage and, crying, started screaming at the award itself. "WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU?!? YOU BASTARD!!" Unsignpost is planning to make the awards banquet biweekly, in honor of the fact that the writers are extremely lonely, and just want a way to talk to loads of people without having to listen to "feedback". Newest Uncyclopedia Article Discovered Although searching through relics was fun for the Indiana-Jonesish stylings of more techie-minded Uncyclopedians, the Unsignpost has, all by itself!!, made a new discovery. Yes, the newest article, Jacob Zuma, created just at the time of this writing, is the newest article to date. No! Wait! It's RETARDIS. Wait, no, it's Broomstick. Oh whatever, the point is that we found it, and when it's deleted in three seconds, Unsignpost gets first gloating rights.

Thanks for your welcome, question for you
I was wondering If I can "modify" and article a little bit to make it less offensive, I am talking about the article unamerica. This article really pisses me off, as I do not see articles about canada or england or iran totally belittling the people of the country. That article is very unaccurate (no pun intended) and very offensive. If there is any way to vote to have the article deleted or any way I can modify could you please let me know? Thanks! And I also think that is in violation of one of the rules here, "Be funny, and not a dick"!!!
Again, thanks for your welcome
Regards,

- Well, first off, you have to understand that we will not delete a page because it offends you. Never ever ever. Unless it contains shock images, the only reason a page will be deleted is because it's soul-crushingly unfunny. If you think this article is really bad, you have 2 options. Either leave a note on its talk page and start a rewrite in your userspace(By that, I mean make the page at User:Jdock12/Rewrite, work on it there until it's funny, and then copy-paste it over the page that's there now. Don't just blank the existing page and replace it with {{Construction}}), or submit the page to VFD. If you choose the latter, make sure you've familiarized yourself with the rules of the page. Good luck, - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 10:51, May 23
Hey its the Lethargic Reactor with one more question:
What do you think of my second full fledged article? It got around a 34 in the pee review, but i wanna see your opinion on my never version. Not a full fledged pee review, just i need to know where i need to work.

and i kinda realized, i think im getting closer to the independent stage. pretty soon, i might remove the adoptee template. I still got some questions though, so im still stuck on the hindenburg.

- Yeah, I'll have a look at the page when I get home tonight. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 10:53, May 23
- Alright, here's the deal. It has some funniness, but your issue is that your tone, the narrator's voice, is inconsistent. You have short sentences, long sentences, cursing, censorship, struck out words, ALLCAPS, asterickses, and parenthetical side-comments, all in the page in a way where they almost feel like you just wanted those things in the page and so threw them in, or that you couldn't think of any prose and so used that stuff. Now, this probably isn't the case, but this is just how it reads in a few places. To fix this, strive for consistency of tone. Give it a day or two, and reread what you've written with a critical eye. Make sure you have the narrator's voice that you want in mind, and then make the page reflect that narrator's voice.
- One part specifically that I didn't like was this one right here: "Jerry Falwell believed it's caused when God is mad at the Canadians. This statement is
not truefull of shit (Isn't everything he says?), as God likes Syrup on his waffles." Now, there are a few things you can do with this. First off, you struck out that "not true" for no reason. Either just say "not true" or just say "full of shit"--no need to use extra characters to mean the same thing. The parenthetical bit, too, I dislike. Why even add that part? We all know Falwell's crazy, and when you add in stuff like that it just feels like you're venting your opinion about this random guy on an article which he would otherwise have no part in. Besides, parentheses are weird to read. What I do like, however, is that last part, the maple syrup reference. If anything, that part should be made more prominent, and a touch clearer. Maybe reword it to say something more along the lines of "Jerry Falwell has erroneously stated that avalanches are caused by God's anger at the Canadians. Obviously, this is false, as no one can stay angry at a Canadian, and God needs their maple syrup for his waffles." ...Or something, I dunno. Keep in mind, of course, that this is naught but my own skewed opinion, and others are just a link away. Cheers! - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 04:21, May 24
I had it peed before, but it was like half finished. i wanted to see where to go from there. ill take some of your suggestions.~ NEZLR 01:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
men in green and conversations with cats
I don't know if this is funny or not, Mr. Led, but it is one of the weirdest IRC conversations I've ever had: User:Cajek/WookiepediaIRC <16:29, 23 May 2008>
- Heh. It is funny, but did you really expect them to do any different? I mean, if they had senses of humor it would be a comedy wiki, no? I'd just leave 'em be. Other wise, uncyc might get a 'rep.' Kinda like the 'rep' we we have everywhere else, actually. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 20:24, May 23
- I was actually trying to see how confused I could get them. Obviously, they aren't the most subtle/clever people in Wikialand. <20:39, 23 May 2008>
- No, but then, what'd you expect? Non-humor wikis are almost always boring. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 20:42, May 23
- Told you Led would spank your bottom Cajek! Send him to bed with no supper too Led! I'll have his... HeHe. MrN

Led's Welcome Template
Hey Led, would you mind whoring Unsignpost in your welcome template, or would that be bad? <4:54, 24 May 2008>
- Sure, I'll stick something in there about it. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 06:19, May 24
da-da-da-DAAAAA DUUUUHHH da-da-da DAAAAA DUUUHHHH
Led! You know star wars and stuff! I'm having trouble getting my articles reviewed (for the first time I can remember). Do you have time to look at Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Star Wars (Japanese Opera)? I would be much obliged! <4:13, 25 May 2008>
- Hmmm... lemme see what I can get to. It'll depend on how late I decide to stay up 'til tonight, really. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 04:15, May 25
- Whatever works, ol' pal. It's just been so long since you've looked at my work. Has it been since Normal? <4:17, 25 May 2008>
- I'm not sure, really. It's been a while since I've done any reviews at all, what with laziness n' all. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 04:19, May 25

Thank you so much for reviewing it, Led! I got a good start on act 3, and I hope it lives up to that 10 you gave me for act 2! ...wow! Anyway, yeah, I'm gonna write some more tomorrow. See you again, Led, thanks! <6:32, 25 May 2008>
Oh, Led, Jack Phoenix huffed User:Cajek/WookiepediaIRC. Do you think he should have? If you think it was legitimately huffed, I'll back down. <22:36, 25 May 2008>
- It may be for the best, honestly. We don't need a reputation for dickery, ya'know? It's prolly best to just stay at Uncyc and save our energy for satire. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 22:50, May 25
- Hey! I wasn't being a d... I guess I was! Oh well, I got two articles out of it! <22:51, 25 May 2008>
- Nah, I know it was all in good fun. Trouble is, other wikis aren't allowed to have fun. Still, though, we have to respect their wishes to have less fun, even if it doesn't make sense to us. We need to join hands, and sing our glorious hymn of... Hmmn. Lost my train of thought. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 22:55, May 25

Has enough been done for you to remove the "Whoops, we'll trash this in 7 days or so, unless you do a load of stuff to save it? No reply needed here, just please remove the banner if so. Reply with pleasure if you see more needs doing!
BTW I was pretty sure Uncyc has the WP template {{cite web}}, but it seems not quite the same? 91.85.187.28 17:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- What you have is good, but I'd like to see you expand it a bit more. I'll remove the ICU tag, so you don't have to worry about insta-huffage, but it'd be nice to have a little more to read. As for the cite web bit, I'm not really sure how that works, to be honest. Maybe just use external link formatting (you know, like [http://www.whatever.ho-hum link title]) to do what you need it to? - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 17:21, May 26
We got creation protection now?!
Damn are we hot or what?1 ~
00:05, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yep. DPP is pretty much obsolete now, and I rather like the whole time limit feature. Deters vandals for a while, then people can make the page again. You can semi-protect, too. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 00:22, May 27
Redirection
how do i redirect XXXXXX to YYYYYYY? im making an article, and i want to know how to redirect something to it.
- Allow me to be a bastard and leave a drive by comment to answer your question. Use the following incantation: #REDIRECT [[Actual article name here]] Make sure that it's the only thing on the redirect page. I'm off to go await an irate Leddy who will most likely bludgeon me with a golf club for this transgression. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ CUN • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 23:10 May 27
I'm writing an article on an intracranial (brain) hemorrhage. I wanted to redirect brain hemorrage so i have an easier way to get there without typi ng the whole user:nezlr/brain hemorrhage thing.
- Well, what I do with subpages is put a link to them all on my userpage, so that I can just click that link at the top, and then get to the page with just one more click. Just something to think about. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 20:38, May 28
hi
Ascewsme. the Most uninformative article ever, is a joke page created for comedic purposes. Have you seen the Paranoid Page? It was supposed to be like that, can you give me a good reason for its deletion, because I thought it was kinda funny, dontcha know.--McWooty 21:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Oh yeah I've got an iMac, HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO GET YOUTUBE VIDEOS ONTO PAGES??!!?! ya know just asking n such....--McWooty 21:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Basically I feel, and I think others would agree with me here, that short pages like that have been done pretty much to death around here. Why not take that concept and expand it? One or two lines are enough for one joke, if you're good. A much longer article, one that stays funny throughout, would provide way more space to set up and expand on joke after joke after joke. For me, this would be far more enjoyable to read.
- As for youtube videos, you do it like this:
<youtube>qRuNxHqwazs</youtube>, where that seemingly random string of letters is the bit from the video URL after the "v=". Cheers! - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 21:17, May 28
