[edit] Hello

Hello there. I added the news and date part to the top of your NOI piece so that it would appear in the UnNews list. I assumed you forgot. I hope that's okay. Sean.hoyland - tak() 15:21, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good article dude

Thou art brave and talented WesMan!

Hey, the housing article was short, sweet, and good.

Good work.

Good Unnews pieces you have there. Take a look at the main UnNews page, got a surprise there. One thing though, you have some formatting issues, check the fixes I've made into your articles. I'm sure that Zim_ulator, lord of all UnNews will welcome you as soon as he's around. Till then, drop me a line if you need help and good luck. ~Jewriken.GIF 10:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UnNews:Bai-Ling Gual Now Believed To Only Speak One Language

Just wanted to say excellent subject! And nicely done. Ta ta Mightydandylion 15:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC) 15:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course! I'll get on it ASAP. If it's not an inconvenience, would you be so kind to put it up on Pee Review? I'd very much like to add another review under my belt.
By the way, "A stunning revelation came forth early yesterday afternoon, when it came to light that a single white man, advised by a small council, was indeed the clandestine ruler of the entire planet, as had long been suspected by many, particularly African-Americans." Wow. Hahaha! Beautiful. Mightydandylion 16:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks again for putting up your article on pee review. I'll get it done sometime today or tomorrow. I also read over "Hell Nah": you should really put that up on Pee review. It made me laugh, haha. Take care, Mightydandylion 19:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey WesMan

Firstly, thanks! Good luck on your article, I really enjoyed reviewing it.
Secondly, templates: would you like to make your own templates or use templates or maybe even both? If that's the case, find any preexisting template within Uncyclopedia that suits your fancy (to my understanding, template-making is glorified plagiarism). For example, Uncyclopedia:Templates provides some base templates you could use. All you have to do is find a template you'd like to start off with as a foundation. If you want to incorporate a picture into your template, try to find a template that already has an image embedded in the code. After that, it's just a matter of substituting your image over the original image. Let's take a look at my pee review template:

Behold! A flowering perennial of most becoming prodigious-ity has taken root. Sensitive sinus sufferers beware: this article is under the green thumb of

|, Mightydandylion!

You notice that there is a part that says Aubergine.jpg, that's where you would substitute your picture say "Apples.jpg". After that, it's just a matter of experimentation with the code: don't be afraid to change text, numbers, fonts, alignments, and anything. You've got the preview button to allay any fears.
Hope this helps! If you need any more help, just ask! Take care, Mightydandylion 17:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UnNews: I'm Sorry

Hey WesMan20,

I'll get on it ASAP. I still have to get another article revdiewed. Take care! Mightydandylion Image:Icons-flag-us.png (talk) Fk 20:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

"The Man also floored everyone in the room with the most stunning of all of his many revelations to blacks – that he (not the CIA) was responsible for releasing crack and HIV/AIDS into the black community in a “Tuskeegee-esque” experiment. “We wanted to see if we could really destroy you guys from the inside out, and boy did we succeed”, he mused smugly. “I mean, damn!”, he continued with a chuckle. He then immediately composed himself and added, “But seriously, that was really bad of me.” Very good. Creative too. I loled. The conspiratorial development is reaching a fevered pitch with the revelation that even HIV/AIDS was tool for population control. What's particularly tickling is the dialogue of The Man.
"Blacks and reparations weren’t the only grievances addressed for redress by The Man. Hippies were alerted to the fact that ‘Burning Man’, an annual event in the Nevada desert at which prostitutes are hired to infect one lucky man with gonorrhea, was really just a ploy to get as many hippies as possible into one place for as long as possible, where they could be monitored while authorities searched their homes. This is part of an annual event for authorities called “Searching Man”, unbeknownst to hippies, where evidence is gathered on liberals by conservative authorities and is passed on to God for use in his impending judgment." Very, very creative. Elicited a smile. Paragraph anticipates the introduction of The Man's several exchanges with other historically shafted peoples. Still, while I'm not sure if it enhances the article, the paragraph certainly does not detract from it.
"The Man refused to apologize to Native Americans for the introduction of alcohol to their community, however, citing their casinos as a redress. “We exploited your vice, now I’m letting you exploit ours. We’re even.” Clever. Elicited a smile. Interestingly, the line suggests a tone of annoyance as opposed to remorse.
"He did apologize to the northern Inuits, though, for several racist infractions, such as creating the force field that keeps them from entering into the warmer climates of North America where Europeans are more often found." Haha, how silly.
“We got along in Iceland, but we just really got greedy in the Americas, and I'm sorry”, The Man admitted, which got a warm response." Just a question: was the warm response intentional? If so, how silly.
"He did not say whether the force field would be lifted in the near future. When the Inuits asked about reparations for having to have lived on seal meat and having been forced to build homes out of ice (the very source of their discomfort), The Man changed the subject." Elicited a smile.
Excellent, absolutely excellent WesMan20: it's a welcome kick in the pants to read your stuff. Thank you for sharing it with me! However, glowing praise from one person is all well and good; but glowing praise from two people is even better! May one suggest taking it up to Pee Review for another go? Take care, Mightydandylion Image:Icons-flag-us.png (talk) Fk 21:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the shower WesMan20! Of course they are true! Also, a "kick in the pants" is my way of saying that the article has made an impression---and of course a favorable one, haha. Concerning the pee review problem: I believe one has to resubmit the article with "2nd submission/2nd opinion/or 2nd something-of-the-like" accompanying it. Take care, Mightydandylion Image:Icons-flag-us.png (talk) Fk 03:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Another option you have is to take the current Pee Review table, cut it out of the PR page, paste it to your talk page under a header such as "From Pee Review", and paste a fresh copy onto the review page.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 22:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey WesMan!

Where have you gone? Come baaaaccckkkkkkk Mightydandylion Image:Icons-flag-us.png (talk) Fk 01:05, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

lol, never mind. Just saw your thread over at the forums. Mightydandylion Image:Icons-flag-us.png (talk) Fk 01:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Oho! Excellent picture. Made me laugh. Good luck with your endeavors! And take care, Mightydandylion Image:Icons-flag-us.png (talk) Fk 15:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Crack

Hya, sorry for the long delay. I like the way it's going. Perhaps you can change "the man" to a political/historical figure. Also, you need to work a bit on the formatting and change the pictures (you do know how to ask for a pic at UN:PIC right?) and maybe put a section on how to make your own at your house? Just some thoughts. But it's looking good! ~Jewriken.GIF 20:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey WesMan! I'll get around to giving this article the comb-through in a couple week's time. Mightydandylion Image:Icons-flag-us.png (talk) Fk 00:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nice ta meetcha

Thanks for the heads up about signing articles. Curiously, how do I prove to a friend that I wrote it (originally)? Sorry to be such an egoist, that's just how I masturbate... Mentally... --WesMan20 19:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)WesMan20

Sorry for taking so long getting back to you. You probably know by now that an article's history will show who wrote and edited it. Anyway, here's a little something for you:

[edit] welcome to UnNews

[edit] the important stuff about UnNews articles

Welcome to UnNews, WesMan20, and thank you for contributing some crap, or something. For a very quick introduction to the ins and outs, please take 30 seconds to read Help:How to write an UnNews article. Please note that proper formatting of an UnNews articles title has only the first word (after UnNews:) and proper nouns capitalized. The second offense of this cardinal rule gets your ass banned. Heh, just kidding... maybe.

Also, a perusal of HowTo:Tune up an UnNews article may help you sink to the average level of UnNews mediocrity, and go on to fame, fortune, and dispepsia.

Although I am an UnNews god cretin and an omnipotent admin, I am also humble, and realize that I make mistakes. I try to allow for some slack in others as well. If your article has been deleted or NRVd by me, it probably sucked, and in my opinion was not worth saving. Things which may protect you from my delete stick are;

  1. Pics with captions
  2. Links to other Uncyclopedia thingies, like this [[thingie]]
  3. Pay attention to suggestions in the UnNews article template
  4. Sources, fill in the info {{source|url= |title= |author= |pub= |date=Mmmmm DD, YYYY}}
if I see this "[ ]". [[wikipedia:|]], Mmmmm DD, YYYY
instead of a properly formatted source, I may take it as a sign from the gods to delete the article

[edit] Hello

I see that my article is on the right-hand side front page of UnNews. I'm still a n00b, so does this mean it is Quasi-Featured?--WesMan20 03:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)WesMan20

I am the de facto decider in the case of elevating certain articles to Lead status. In fact, my standards for promoting stories is mostly to keep the headlines cycling, a way to tell the world that we at UnNews are as good as any of the pretenders, like Yahoo!, or Microsoft. The illusion of up-to-the-second updating is but one of our little tricks to opiatise the masses. It's mostly done by me, or other admins, or users who've been around UnNews a while. If you'd like to whore your story, even if it's not fresh, let me know, If I find it suitable, I'll lube it up and make it grab it's ankles as a lead story. It's not really so much an honor to be featured, as it is to say, "you've done a decent story, or it's been edited to become such".

That wasn't very helpful, was it? Ah, well, best I can do this time of day during a rain storm. Cheers rev. zim_ulator (Talk - Edits Logs) I am the dirt under your rollers. 22:51, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ahoy WesMan20!

Good to hear from you! Well, firstly I do hope everything works out well for you. Secondly, thank you for taking the time to drop a message. And thirdly, I look forward to reading your stuff! Please keep me posted and don't be a stranger!


Also, Godspeed with those world-changers. :) Mightydandylion Image:Icons-flag-us.png (talk) Fk 21:07, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
