Untitled Complaint
Why was the article Midland michiga deleted can you please put it back?!
- I have not idea what you are talking about. Please speak slowly and calmly and start again. -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 03:04, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Loads of typos
Re: Jimmy and the Aliens and typos. The only one I saw was "he was this thing in the sky" in that there second image. --SirU.U.Esq. VFH | KUN | Natter | Lt? | Pee 17:25, Feb 24
- Done. You sure there weren't any more? Several people on the VFH page seem to think there are typos... -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 17:35, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Zune deleted
There was no reason to delete the Zune article unless some Microsoft fanbois got pissed. Plus I was gonna put something about the zunePhone on it. SteveSims 22:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- The article was deleted as the result of a vote on VFD, and therefore, there was a reason to delete it. -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 23:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Indeed there was, But I thought I requested, incase of deletion, that I would be moved to my userpage. For the Zune is a shitbrick that needs a page albeit less listy and more coherent, which I am willing to attempt. So if you could move that piece of crap to my user page, that would be great. --Vosnul 12:40, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Comprehending Satire Requires Familiarity With the Subject
Did you even read what I wrote about Wesley Willis before tagging it unfunny? There was hardly enough time. Frenk DelaCroix 00:53, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yessir. I'm what society calls "a fast reader". I've suffered all my life because of that. -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 00:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
If you say so. Anyway, I've deleted the tag. The shit is funny -- though maybe only for people who actually know who Wesley Willis was.Frenk DelaCroix 00:57, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- First off, never remove an ICU tag. This is your first and only warning. Second off, please read UN:CM and make sure that your article does not classify as vanity. Because, based on that last statement of yours, it is. -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 00:59, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
First off, the vanity policy is ignorable. Secondly, and obviously, OF COURSE I didn't know Wesley Willis personally, nor was I in any way associated with him. It's a spoof. A joke. A pretend. Do you actually know who he was? Have you listened to his music? Maybe you should consider that getting inside jokes and references to a musician's real life in a spoof require familiarity with that musician's life and creative output. Frenk DelaCroix 01:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. All these years I've been an admin at Uncyclopedia, and I thought the the vanity policy was an actual policy. You know, I acctaully thought that the "ignorable policy" template was a joke. You know "You can ignore this if you'd like. Then we'll ban you." sorta thing. But hey, I guess you must know more about Uncyclopedia and our policies then me. Also, "inside joke", or, in other words "jokes that appeal to a very small group of people", generally, do not have a large audience. Funny how that works, eh? Therefore, most people will not find those "joke" (if we're going to keep pretending your article has "jokes") funny, and will, instead, see a long unformatted block of text, that, when read, does not make most people laugh. And I'm most people. Sure, before even mentioning the word "vanity" I looked up Mr. Willis on Wikipedia. That doesn't mean the article is going to be kept. I repeat, do not remove the ICU tag. If you cannot improve it (and show me that you've improved it) in 7 days, it will be deleted. I will, however, recreate it in your userspace if it is deleted. So, chin up, chest out, get to work. -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 01:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Rawr! Must have hit pretty close to the mark to get you all riled up like that, make you stand on your years of experience. You are "most people?" Now I know what they mean about declining standards in high schools. Or is it a sign of the decline of western civilization? But anyway.
My article of course contains jokes. If you had never seen, say, "Star Wars," you wouldn't get any jokes or satire about it. (You seem very young, so it is conceivable you never saw "Star Wars." But I hope you'll still take the point.) Imagine a joke about, say, Jawas if you didn't know what Jawas were? Apply the same for the life and works of Wesley Willis, mutatis mutandis.
And you admit you didn't even know who Wesley Willis WAS before you judged my article not funny. Now you are simply defending the decision you made out of ignorance.
You don't understand references to Wesley Willis' songs because you never heard those songs. You don't understand jokes about his life because you know nothing about it. It's like a person who had never seen "Star Wars" rejecting all Jawa humor.Frenk DelaCroix 04:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
PS. The text is formatted just fine on my screen -- there is no "long block of unformatted text."
- Oh, so we're starting out by claiming that I'm "all riled up", then moving on to claim that I "seem very young" and "never saw 'Star Wars'", are we? Look, I'm going to say this nice and painlessly, all special and simple for you, one last time. As a fully functioning member of North American society, who has not only seen Star Wars but does not find jokes about Jawas to be funny (ever), I have never heard of Wesley Willis, until today. Today, I have learned a great deal about Wesely Willis. Today, I have read a Wikipedia entry, and then gone off and found some music, which I did not like. Why, you're probably not asking yourself, would Zombiebaron do a thing like that? Well, let me tell you. Because, I am now completely convinced that the article, in its present form, makes no sense whatsoever the the vast majority of people on this Earth who have never, and probably will never, have heard of Wesley Willis. Now, I'm sure we could debate what vanity is and isn't, and I'm sure I could bring up the fact that I know quite a bit more about what vanity is and isn't from experince, but I don't think we will, lest you feel I'm using that experince to "stand on". Instead, I'm going to point out (again) that you have a chance to make the article more appealing to a wide audience, and that it will be deleted if you do not. If you put half as much commitment into writing the article as you have put into trying to convince me that I'm "riled up" and "very young", you should have no qualms with putting more effort in and making the brilliant you feel it is, shine through. In closing, I'd like to point out that on this subject, I feel that I represent "most people", while you represent "few people" (those who have heard of Wesley Willis). -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 05:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I never claimed you hadn't seen "Star Wars," I merely said it is conceivable. You certainly seemed riled up in your previous post, and, yes, you seem young. "Seem" is the operative word. Anyway.
You may well be right that I am in the minority, in that I am familiar with Wesley Willis and his music. (Of course being in a minority is not equal to being wrong. And Wesley Willis was signed on Alternative Tentacles Records, a well known if distinctly non-mainstream record label.)
But I question your assertion that an article about one admittedly obscure musician must somehow appeal to great masses of readers.
In fact, I think it is distinctly unlikely that anyone not familiar with Wesley Willis would stumble across the entry on him. Thus its probable audience is not a mass of average members of society who are unfamiliar with Wesley Willis' work (the "most people" you claim to represent). Rather it is fans of Wesley Willis who enjoy and know his music who are likely to read it. My article is designed to appeal to those fans. It is precisely as a fan that I wrote it, after searching for Wesley Willis in the Uncyclopedia and not finding him.
You don't like Wesley Willis' music and don't demonstrate a familiarity with his work. Fair enough. There's no accounting for taste. But I don't think you are in a position in which you can make informed decisions about an article concerning him. You might reasonably recuse yourself from this case. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frenk DelaCroix (talk • contribs)
- Then this has come down the that most difficult and oft-debated debated topics of "Who, exactly, is going to read the stuff I write, anyway?" has it? From my position, as the author of both several terrible (and now deleted) articles, along with a handful of article that I am proud, I would like to think that my articles (the handful of good ones, that is) are read by everyone. They are linked to on other articles. They can be found by Special:Random. I'd like to think that my article on Socratic Method appeals to everyone. Now, we both know that that would impossible. Not everything can appeal to everyone, and not everything will be read by everyone, and while we cannot, possible strive to make every article a Featured Article, we can at least strive to make everything as accesible as possible to a majority of people.
- Now, coming back to the article at hand. I'm going to replace the {{ICU}} with a {{Ugly}}. This will give you 30 days to make the article conform the the established norms of encyclopedic formatting (for examples, you may wish to browse the featured articles). You'll need an image or two as part of this formatting. And links. I do agree that I may not be entirely suited to judge the humour of the article, but still feel that the article is not as good as you may feel it is. -- Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 06:07, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the adjustment. I will continue to work on the article. Frenk DelaCroix 06:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
