User talk:The Odious Wasp

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

[edit] Welcome!

Hello, The Odious Wasp, and welcome to Uncyclopedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If not, the door's right over there... no, a little more to your left... yeah. Anyway, here are a few good links for nooblets:

• Beginner's Guide
• How to be funny and not just stupid

If you read anything at all, make it the above two links. If you want to find out more about Uncyclopedia or need more help with something, try these:

• About Uncyclopedia and The five pliers of Uncyclopedia
• How to get started editing on uncyclopedia
• Everything you ever wanted to know, but were afraid to ask
• Help Pages - if you need help with a specific issue

Also, I suggest you use our templates wisely. If you wish to post an article that you have not yet completed, post the article in your namespace under the title User:The Odious Wasp/ArticleTitle and complete it there, or use Template:Construction (userspace construction is preferable though). If you want help with articles, post on Pee Review, and add the {{PeeReview}} template. Finally, please do not put your signature in your articles.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being an Uncyclopedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button () above the edit box. This will automatically produce your name and the date.

If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or add the following: {{help}} to this page along with a message and someone will come along and help you if they can. Again, welcome!  Sir Cs1987 UOTM. t. c 03:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Hitler

I apologize for my reversion of your edits to the article Hitler, but you must understand that the article on Hitler is one of the most heavily edited articles on Uncyclopedia, and therefore we have a very tight leash on it. Upon sight of your edits to Hitler, I noticed one thing: a plethora of red links. Red links are extremely ugly and generally frowned upon. I don't mean to diminish your skills as a contributor to Uncyclopedia, but the article on Hitler must have some historical accuracy. I urge you to read this section on our HTBFANJS guide, which suggests that things closer to the truth are more likely to be pieces of satirical brilliance rather than just drivel and nonsense. The article on Hitler isn't based on wordplay; sure, "The Third Reek" may gain a chuckle, but stating that "The Third Reich was an ultra-liberal regime which promoted tolerance" is just funnier. Not only that, but "The Third Reek", "Treaty of Vasectomy", and "Moronica" might not be understood by most readers. Case and point: distorted facts are usually funnier than distorted names. -- [SIR] e|m|c ^[talk] 22:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Countries that don't exist

Thanks for the thanks. It's an article with a future, I think. I wouldn't be surprised if it catches the popular imagination and becomes quite a large page. RabbiTechno 11:44, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm so tempted to add Palestine, just to piss off user: kakun though...RabbiTechno 12:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

The addition. Personally, I'd just remove it. Obviously the person who added it had not read what you wrote at the top of the page. Although the whole point of a wiki is that anyone can edit it, a lot of people spend time here removing stuff (much of it rubbish or just vandalism) that doesn't fit with any particular article; and this is a classic case of something that doesn't fit. If they complain about it, put a copy of the 'rules' of your article on their userpage (or maybe on the discussion page of 'Countries...' if they're an IP), perhaps with a short definition of what wiki actually means. Generally, that'll solve their problem. If they get uppity about it - some do - just continue to remove anything that doesn't fit that they add to the article, and they'll get bored and leave it alone sooner or later.

[edit] Re:Minitrue template

I'm sure you meant well with your attempt to split Minitrue into two, but you probably didn't notice that we ended up having a disambiguation page templated onto a bunch of pages. Please don't try to do this again (e.g. at Miniplenty), at least without consulting somebody at the Village Dump.

[edit] Michael Jackson

Hi, I was just wondering why you reverted my edit to Michael Jackson. The previous names of the films weren't funny, satirical, or anything. Why do you want to keep them like that? Am I missing something? Cheers. Lootin'Putin 08:07, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
