[edit] Bannination
First, let me start by saying what a big fan I am of Santa Claus. Anyone who can evade authorities for so long and still maintain an army of elves my personal hero.
That's why it hurts me to see so much unorganized junk filling up what could otherwise be a very lovely biography. There are just so many sides to Santa that people don't know about, but it needs to be in a readable form before the information can be spread.
Look at how Wikipedia treats Cuba, for example. Cuba isn't nearly as interesting as Santa Claus, and yet it gets a disambiguation page, a dozen pages all to itself, and it's still as long as All Hallow's Eve. Let's face it, with Uncyclopedia, there's only going be a small chance that what you're reading is worthwhile, even less of a chance than you would have with Wikipedia. I just feel that it needs to be organized better before people will take the plunge and try to read it. If it's not so long, the losses of time and sanity from reading a potentially nonsensical article are cut.
I mean, look at the lovely way you axed Oscar Wilde. That's all I'm asking for, really. I know if I were to try that myself, someone would revert it right away without thinking. Templates are all I have to fight back, man.
Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you'd lift my ban just a little, because I'm rewriting North for the Poo Lit Surprise and by the time my ban expires, I will only have four days before the deadline. Four days. Think about that. --Syndrome 03:58, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Humm...since I've got an article up there as well, sounds like I need to extend your ban for four days to give my piss-poor writing a better chance...
- To make sure I'm 100% clear....if you don't like an article, do something constructive about it. Taking an overly long, boring article and adding yet more shite to it does nothing to fix the problem - it just makes it worse. While you are correct in thinking that we'll get irritated if you blank massive swathes of articles, you can make it work if you're gentle and sensible about it. If you find articles that are too long and boring, follow these steps:
- 1) Check the history. See if any one logged-in user (especially an admin, as they can be overly protective sometimes) added a lot of content to it. If they did, drop a note on their talk page and discuss trimming it down.
- 2) If either it's all crappy anon-IP edits or the user(s) say chop away, (or they ignore you for a few days) start pruning, Gently. Kill the worst 50% of a section, leave the rest. Try to connect themes throughout the whole page. Make sure you're doing at least a moderate bit of rewriting as you go.
- You can delete crappy stuff - you just have to be delicate about it. In fact, if it's a massive list of boring crap you're deleting, you'll find me on your side. That's one of my huge irritations. The other is people spamming fucking templates on a bunch of pages. So, since you you've been both poinient and thoughtful, I'll lift your ban, if you can promise that you'll make pages better instead of worse. However, because you mentioned the Poo Lit Surprise, I'll have to re-ban you until Saturday, so that you won't be competing with me. In fact, I need to go ban a bunch of people and delete their pages. Later. ~Sir Famine, Vandal♣er 21:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why, oh why?
Are you creating user pages? ~
07:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm doing no such thing. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
- To tell the truth (heaven forbid), I was reading this user page and I decided it would be cool if I could conjure a user to life as happened there. The results have been disappointing so far, but I shall continue to persevere and I shall not rest until I have made a user with my edits. For science! --Syndrome 13:30, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm afraid that I'll have to put that test to the end, since creating another user is sockpuppetary which is a bannable offense here. I urge you to find another field to test. Thanks. ~ 13:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Really? What if you create another user the way God intended? You know, have a baby, raise him for a few years, and then set him up with an account here? Are there any rules against that? Because if not, that's what I'm going to try now. --Syndrome 13:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- In that case, all the luck, I'll see you again in...hmmmm....2014 or so. ~ 13:53, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for pissing, and some other stuff
First of all, I would like to thank you for pissing on my article, HowTo:Not Die. Secondly, If you don't like me posting stuff like this on your chat page, or ever even bugging you about it, then just tell me and I'll stop bugging you to death. But anyway, about the article. I know you came up with the idea, and you were just giving me suggestions to get me moving to my own ideas, but do you think that it would be a good idea just to take your idea about making it a very "blatantly secret" face cream ad? Maybe I could like, get some picture of some dead person with FAIL! written at the bottom, and put a caption like "Notice that this person has failed at not dying. Also notice her severe lack of Aveeno© aging cream," or something along those lines. I could possibly take a picture of me drinking some beauty product by the gallon. As far as going on with things even the stupidest of people could figure out, I think that there are enough fairly funny articles that do this (see HowTo:Breathe), and I don't so much care for the emo thing. Oh, and I don't really know how to put on pictures, so I will have to figure that out, hopefully soon. Sorry if it sounded a bit grade school like, I'm only in 9th grade, so most things I write will sound slightly like that. Anyway, thanks for pissing on my article (it sounds really awkward to say that) and I hope to hear from you soon :)G man yo 11:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC) P.S. If you need a link to the review, here it is: http://uncyclopedia.org/index.php?title=Uncyclopedia:Pee_Review/HowTo:Not_Die&t=20080407185954
- No problem, yo. I don't mind you asking me, and you can probably ask any admin too, unless they're in a bad mood, in which case they'll just ban you. I'll reply to your questions here so the whole dialogue is easier to follow. Anyway. Sure, you could go with the aging cream idea, and it's a good idea to have an image of someone drinking it. I don't think I would take a picture of yourself (it's not that it's against the rules, but I've never seen anyone do it before, and you're putting it on a wiki so anyone can edit it), but if you could photoshop (or get someone else to) a picture of a sexy model drinking it from a magazine ad or something, that may be a good sell for a product.
- And I don't like the whole "FAIL" idea, because it reeks too much of Encyclopedia Dramatica and we try to avoid their over-the-top gross-out kind of humor. Of course, I'm not trying to tell you what to put in your article, but what I would do instead is get a photo of a soldier and caption it with something like "This person may not be alive right now." (Maybe I'm a little biased because I just saw Winter Soldier.) Understatement is key to comedy. You did read HTBFANJS, right?
- As for the more technical aspects of how to open and close an article, I recommend you go to the featured articles list and look at how the featured HowTo articles do their intros and conclusions. They usually start with a second-person scenario, or a pitch on why you need to do this. That should be enough to keep you busy, but don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions. Good luck! --SYNDROME MUN medicate 13:11, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Okay, thanks, dude. I think I'm going to skip the sexy model thing, or at least get a more "modest" model, cause I'm a Christian and go to a Christian school, and that would NOT go over well if my teachers or parents found out about me posting a near-naked model on my page. I mean, i think raunchy jokes are funny, but if I wrote it, it would probably just get me in trouble. Thanks for helping, I'll try to fix it over the next few days :)G man yo 13:52, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh...Whoops! I forgotted about my article. If it's not already beleted, I'll belete it, work on it in word, and then put it back up if I ever get finished. Sorry bout that :P G man yo 06:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for taking up the greatest pee review challenge... ever. <Apr 30, 2008 [2:09]>
- Sorry, I'll try to finish reviewing it tonight in lieu of sleeping. --SYNDROME MUN medicate 02:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
| Rejoice, Syndrome! You have been entitled to the Golden Shower Award |

| For donating high quality material to the Pee Review. |
| Massage it in there. Oh, baby. |
Thanks, Syndrome! That was a pretty good review for someone who died in the awesomeness of my article! I'll be back with the changes eventually. Maybe some questions, too. <Apr 30, 2008 [12:47]>

[edit] New Guy
Whats link to all administrators, whats difference between this and encyclopediadramatica.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BWear (talk • contribs)
- Hi BWear! You're probably looking for this special page that lists the sysops. If you leave messages on their userpages (or if you don't), please sign with four tildes (~~~~) so we know who you are. As for your other question, we at Uncyclopedia don't really talk about ED a lot because they aren't notable. I mean, they don't even have an article on Wikipedia. But the difference between us can be summed up in two words: distended anuses. For some reason, they really really like goatse over there, while we ban people for that stuff here. So Uncyclopedia writes about all kinds of stuff as long as its funny, while ED writes about internet-related stuff and they focus mainly on shock humor. --SYNDROME MUN medicate 04:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm not dead! Just infrequent, because of frustration at the way repeated edits slowly erode some of the best content into less funny lameness. Still checking back sometimes though. --TheTris 23:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] RAHB
If you feel you have a genuine problem with someone's actions then I would advise you to speak to one of the more diplomatic Admins, Brad or Codeine or some nutter like that. I've not looked into what's gone on here to make any judgement but in most cases its just down to misunderstandings, usually on the part of both parties. Regardless of the right and wrong of a situation certain action on forums or people's talk pages CAN look like trolling, which is a bannable offence, so with that in mind I'd like to ask you to be more careful with your words in future. Consider this a gentle warning. -- Sir Mhaille 
(talk to me)
- To add a personal note to what Mr. Mhaille here has said, please don't get banned over something like this. You're too valuable a user to stoop to this level. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ CUN • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 18:09 Jun 8
- Thanks to both of you. I tend to like to settle things personally, without being a tattle-tale and reaching for the authorities at the first sign of conflict (besides, I figure RAHB would automatically have admin support, being the more experienced user) but it's nice to know my options. I'll keep that in mind in the future, and I'll be more careful. --SYNDROME MUN medicate 18:22, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- For my own addition to this, I hope I haven't given you the wrong impression here. I can't see how anyone here would actually suggest you would get banned over retaliating to my own harsh remarks. Maybe that suggests you're right about the whole favoritism for experienced users thing. I don't doubt that in some cases it exists, and I certainly don't think it should exist. All users should be treated based on their own merits and not on their time here, number of features, amount of friends, size of their genitals, or any other silly preconception like that. Let me say that, despite my hostile words towards you, if you had under some bizarre circumstance actually gotten banned for just coming back at me with your own argument, I would have personally seen to it that you were unbanned as soon as possible (with what little influence I may have on decisions like that). As I just noted on my talk page in response to your acceptance of my apology, you should be commended for standing up for your own self after I attacked you like that. I hope this doesn't discourage you from making positive contributions to the site, I don't think it will as you seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Consider this a reiteration of my apology, but also an extension of my hand if ever you are unjustly treated as well. Similarly to how I defended Zombiebaron, not because of who he was, but because of the accusations against him (not just yours, he gets it a lot), I would defend you at any time if somebody had wrongly accused you of doing something bannable, not because of who you are, but because it is the right thing to do. (Hopefully this is the last essay-long comment I write for a while.) -RAHB 23:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Also, from your talk page messages, it looks like you've actually been here longer than me.....like, a year longer than me. O_o -RAHB 23:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Heh, I was beginning to think that making essay-long comments was just your style. But thanks for your vote of confidence; it's very Voltaire of you to defend my right to say things you don't agree with. Yeah, I joined Uncyc in the pre-Benson era, although I certainly haven't been active the whole time so a lot of people don't know me. I can see you've been productive in your time here, but as for me, well, I'm still working on that first feature. Sorry for any misconceptions I had about you. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to staring at my work in progress and waiting for an idea to come. --SYNDROME MUN medicate 05:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, I'm human, and as such I have the capacity to be wrong. I think the reason that defending other people's thoughts is seen as so radical is that most people refuse to admit to the fact that other people can be right and they can be wrong. Admittedly it's not the best feeling at first, but I do believe we've gotten something accomplished by making peace. Keep brainstorming, a featurable idea is bound to come up eventually. If you need any help with writing or reviews or anything, I'd be glad to help out any time. Cheers. -RAHB 05:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks
Thanks for putting that image back on EPIC FAIL!, I knew I'd done something wrong there but I couldn't quite put my finger on it :P. Methinks that article needs more attention than people give it, since I got it featured it has a heck of a lot of crap tacked on to it by passing IPs. That's what I get for basing my asofyet only featured article on the idea of an internet meme, eh? --~FAG! +chatline "if it ain't broke, break it" (CUN·MP·VFH)
- No problem. I've been watching the page in case someone tries to add something stupid. Just be glad you didn't write an article on an even worse meme, like, I don't know, anything on ED. --SYNDROME MUN medicate 01:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Fat Girl Pee Review
When I put the article up for Pee Review, it is in the sincere hope of improving it, and I found a couple valid suggestions in your review. However I was a put off by your jabs, including "Seriously, though, my guess is that you're satisfied with this article as it is." If I were 100% happy with it, why would I have asked for a Pee Review, and if I was shallow as you think I am I wouldn't have spent time reading the review itself, I only would have looked at the bottom score. So thanks for judging the article, and me as well. Dame

- Um, you're welcome? Sorry, I just woke up and I don't know what to say. I don't think you're shallow, or else you would have turned to Encyclopedia Dramatica as an outlet for your writing. I was trying to avoid the word girly, but my gist was that the article is too girly for me to dig properly. If anything, my review was self-deprecating when I said that you would ignore my suggestions because, well, I said I don't know what I'm talking about. I wasn't trying to judge you, but I wouldn't be a very good reviewer if I didn't try to have some sense of your motivation and where you were coming from when you wrote this. I hope that makes sense.
You can be satisfied with your work without being 100% happy with it. If anything, I was giving you a compliment that you fulfilled your vision (from what my poor judgment tells me least). But I'm sorry that my review offended you and I hope you find the rest of it useful. If not, you're more the welcome to resubmit your article, or revert my edit and pretend it never happened. --SYNDROME MUN medicate 17:35, 13 July 2008 (UTC)- OK, thanks for the reply. I think I will work on it and then resubmit it to Pee Review. But I do have to ask that in the future, when you do another review that focus on making it a tool by which the writer can glean useful information and not use it was a spring board for self-deprecating humor.

I'm sending you this because you are signed up to judge the Poo Lit Surprise. If you no longer want to judge or are incapable of, please tell me as soon as possible. If you're still good to go, here are the instructions:
First, read all of the articles in your specified category. Second, judge them. Judge how you like, as long as it's at least fair and based on merit (one suggestion would be to use the Pee Review format). Post your top 5 articles here. Hit me up on my talk page for questions, comments, or if these rules are not cognizant within you.
