I need help w/linking TO an UnNews article.

Could you please place a nice lookin link below to the following UnNews news article so that I have an example of how to make a link TO an UnNews article? You probably know what I mean-I want it to be nice and neat w/o the code. Thanks, and sry, I'm too new and have been trying to figure this out for an hour.

Sorry to pester you again, I can't upload images, even ones that are completly uncopyrighted or from this page; it sort of goes along like noraml, but when it comes to to deside the size of the thumbnail the thing freezes, I'm wondering if it was because I duplicated images on seprerte pages? [User: MMACKNIGHT--MMACKNIGHT 19:46, 25 February 2008 (UTC)]]

Howdy, I hope everythings fine, The Scottish template looks a little out of place down there, should it be removed altogether- or is this a sort of executive formating decision? User: MMACKNIGHTMMACKNIGHT 10:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC) Hi, I've changed username (don't worry its a one off), I kept getting the uppercase mentioned in the chatroom and stuff, I don't know how to get rid of the user MMACKNIGHT, I though mabye I should just let you know about it.Sycamore 17:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah....don't worry about your contributions to the site, you are doing really well. I know many people tend to view their standing on the site by feature-count (and its easy for me to talk as I've had a few of them) but bear in mind that it took me about 9 months before I got my first feature here. It will happen for you. Of course the longer you are here the more "tricks" you'll learn, spacing out the really funny "punchlines", comic timing, formatting, clever use of images. The goal we all want is to improve as writers, and I think you can see that you have already in your contributions. -- Sir Mhaille Image:Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)

Potential Ban?

I'm telling you about this simply because of the volume of edits, but IP 69.138.245.3 has been doing a lot of edits to variety of articles - they even blanked a user page - that really don't make sense. I would say that most aren't vandalism, but the majority of them are terribly illogical and stupid. I would ban it for blanking teh user page - not good sportsmanship you know. This IP was last banned in November for the same types of edits in the same volume of articles. Dame PPsigPPlips.gifGUN WotM PotM VFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 20:04, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey bud. Just a heads up. this page is an utter load of crap, and the wiki equivalent of crappy chain mail. With a picture. It doesn't even constitute an article. Actions to be taken? --Inorian the Eternal | HOWL AT ME! [MUN] [IAA] [RANDOM CRAP] 16:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hornblower Facts

There may not be many "facts" but there sure are a lot of rote recitations of the Horatio Hornblower plot that aren't jokes. YouFang 16:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not looking to get you to change your vote, but I'd have to say I disagree. Uncyclopedia was formed to spoof and satire Wikipedia, making encyclopedic style articles that, at first glance, would appear as legitimate articles, but on closer inspection reveal the comedic genius hidden within that format. Within the Hornblower article, for example, there is only a small amount of information that comes from the actual tales, most is a rather creative take on tales of that genre peppered with innuendo, double entendres and the subtle use of links to create something that I hope is worthy of the subject matter. Very little within the article actually comes from plotlines within the Hornblower stories, although it may appear to be the case. -- Sir Mhaille Image:Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)
I understand what you're saying. One has to include allusions to the truth or articles end up nonsense. But there can be too many, and the funny drains away. I'm not saying I know exactly where that fact threshold lies. I do, however, have my own personal taste, and Horatio Hornblower struck me as not funny enough. Aparently, I'm in the minority anyway. YouFang 23:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd try adding a few related images, just to improve the look of the article and make it more "encyclopedic" in format. If you find something clever and funny it would really sprouce the article up. I do it all the time with my articles... -- Sir Mhaille Image:Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)

Missing/Unused images from the Uncyclopedia Store

Mhaille,

I noticed these images turned up on Special:Unusedimages a few days ago. I checked The Uncyclopedia Store but I didn't see any recent edits to suggest vandalism. Are these images duplicates or are they no longer needed ? MadMax 16:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I can help here. They're probably from NXWave's user space. I just deleted his entire space and that of his known sockpuppets. He had a duplicate of the store in his space, so it's probably from there. ~Jewriken.GIF 16:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Clarification re: Weiqi

An explanation of why I am posting this message: I have been quite busy with Caltech's school work, and I just came back home for spring break a couple of days ago. As a result, I did not consider it a worthwhile use of my time to pursue this issue. I would now like to make a small clarification.

The article was so poorly written that I didn't initially realize that "weiqi" was Go (board game). I remembered that I had played this game with my parents on several prior occasions, but my mind failed to make a connection with the game's "non-Chinese" name. As a result, I attempted to run the page through VFD without a very clear explanation, and my previous protest on your user talk page was also poorly worded. I will make no further attempts to request the article's deletion. However, I won't be able to focus my efforts on improving the article either, since I have several other pressing issues here on Uncyc and in real life.

I hope this clears things up. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. --Pentium5dot1 04:57, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Chris Lawrence Edit

You edited the Chris Lawrence page and moved the quote-description to a new section called "Quotes". I didn't want to just change it back, but I wouldn't agree with the change... The quotes describe things and give accounts of his history, they are not merely famous quotes or memorable things he's said... - 05:07 31 MarchSir FSt. (QotF BFF NotM) YTTETalk!Read!Sign!Whore!CMC!Pee!

Actually that was deliberate, I though it would be funnier to have the quotes as a back reference to the previous section. If you want to move the quotes back to where you had them that's fine. -- Sir Mhaille Image:Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)

I DID see your request, but when I clicked on your edits you hadn't seem to have done that much, so I was waiting and watching to see if that was going to change.

Hey man. Just stopping by to ask about, you know...."the thing that we can't talk about."

Help

I'm really sorry to run into a minor quibble. I feel confident enough to write the bulk of my pages, particularly this one. If I need help I will ask, as you can see from your talk page. When it’s in the open, I will put it though Pee Review and try my best to improve any critcimss. I've left a request for images (Radical X corner) I would be honored if you would look at. I also with respect object towards mouthing off about people on my articles, it'll get me banned and is a little too personal for my comfort. The individual you spoke about has helped me a great deal.

Think its fair to say that its not your best work, although there were some gems within it, particularly towards the end. I'd probably cut it down to size and remove some of the excess, but that's just my opinion, and that's all it is. -- Sir Mhaille Image:Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)
I dunno. I think it's absolutely some of my best work, Uncyclopedia or no. I don't think there's any excess because everything I wrote was written with a purpose; there's no filler at all. And I know I didn't try too hard, because it was the most effortless writing I've done in recent memory. I guess the length is unappealing, particularly in this medium. I'm considering removing it from the site, actually. It might be something I'll try to get published someday, and in that case I don't think I want it available and editable for free on this site. Seven Fors, two Againsts and three Abstains after 10 days is ridiculous for something as densely packed with originality and written with such a unique voice. If the community doesn't appreciate it, I don't want it on here. In the meantime, I guess we can go ahead and feature another hilarious article about emo kids. -- Tinymooose.gif » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 19:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Funny thing is one of my favourite self-authored articles is my Baron Ringpiece UnBook, within which the humour is in many parts exceedingly subtle. I love it because its a gentle humour, and its something I wrote for the sheer enjoyment of doing so, and it is the most effortless writing I have done on the site, it just flowed and wrote itself. Somehow it did get featured, but I remember lots of people asking what was actually funny in it?
Maybe I'm missing something in the article, could be subtle Merkin'centric references but its really only the last section that made me smile. Maybe its just my own personal tastes? I don't know really, it just does nothing for me. Not like that amusing Emo related article...now THAT is one damn fine article. -- Sir Mhaille Image:Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)

Coupla questions

You're smart (sannse said so on IRC) so I get to ask you stuff. First of all, what's the limit of articles on VFH? Apparently Mah Nà Mah Nà failed its last nom because VFH was too full. Also, what's the process for re-nominating an article? T'anks. --SYNDROME MUN medicate 09:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I believe its quite fluent, but often there's a limit imposed of 20 articles. With regards to renomming an article think the usual "process" is to leave it for a month or two at least before considering it. Unless there's a groundswell of support for it.... -- Sir Mhaille Image:Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)
The main reason behind this being not that there's any hard-and-fast rule, but that people who voted against will immediately repeat their vote, but if someone voted for and it reappears, they usually won't vote for again.--<<Bradmonogram.png>> 12:01, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Okay well now there's only 15 articles of VFH so I figure now would be a good time. The problem is I don't know how to renom, since when I enter the page name on VFH and try to nominate it, it tells me Uncyclopedia:VFH/Mah Nà Mah Nà already exists (and verily it does). I moved said page to Uncyclopedia:VFH/Mah Nà Mah Nà/1 so I could make a new nomination, but I gave up because I have no clue what to do next. A little help? --SYNDROME MUN medicate 17:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
