Did you know section
I don't feel like creating an account to edit it, but could one of you cool dudes add "...That Jimi Hendrix sublimated?" with the link to the jimi hendrix page. I believe I have made what may be the only funny section of that page.
- No, why are you too lazy to create an account? It takes about 10 seconds and you don't even need an email address. --GAMESPOT=666 04:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I edited Rachael Ray's page
Just to let you all know, I added some of her award-winning cookbooks. If I missed any, feel free to add some. --MDupont 8:13, 19 December 2006
- Generally a better idea to add these kind of comments on the article talk page itself, rather than the actual Main Page talk. But thanks for contributing anyhow, and merry Christmas! :) -- 15:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Another typo on main page
Thingy at the top about "donating to the gift of humor" - it's actually meant to be spelt humour. Apalling. Go and see the principal. And don't be rude to him, either! --QXZ 04:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- Acctaully, what we have here is a case of American vs. British (and Canadian) spellings. I spell humour with a u, the Americans spell it without. Same with colour. --Sir Zombiebaron 18:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Uncyclopedia too damn rude
Uncyclopedia is too rude. You get swearwords/obscene images/violent video clips on almost every page!! I guess that's what comes of too many patriotic and/or naughty Poms and Yanks editing (we beat the Poms at cricket, anyway, so they shouldn't be so damn pro patria). Y'know, it could make a good site if it wasn't so inconsistent and poorly maintained. Plus, some people should learn how to spell things such moustache, colour, flavour, neighbourhood, manoeuvre, marvellous, arse, axe and exfernophomenaquintification. @!##$$%^$%^^&&^**(*(*^&%^%##!!!!!! Now I've had my rave. Thankyou for reading this. --QXZ 23:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC) P.S. Just in case I have a severe mood swing and decide to leave, could someone please tell me how to terminate my own account?
- The best way to terminate your account is to make a stupid comment on Talk:Main Page. 58.178.52.149 07:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Making Templates...
I have a question, and it is: How do I make my own templates? --Paulrun 02:27, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- You go to a page called Template:<name> then edit it. Like "Template:Dumb Userbox". Of course then you'll probably want to learn how to make boxes. And colours. Well. Just do a div. Of course then you'll need to learn CSS. Oh dear this could turn into a book. Just check source of another template. Or a page with a colorfull box on it. --Dandin1 19:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
What is it about?
I'm currently new to Uncylopedia, what is it about? Is it like Wikipedia?
- It's better than wikipedia, because all entries are automatically checked to make sure they are factual. Wikipedia lets anyone edit. We only let experts edit here. 11/12 01:12

Link to the Clean Uncyclopedia
Hey guys, I'm working on this project (A clean uncyclopedia) and I was hoping you guys would help. Thanks [1] Right now I just need a bunch of stock pages, too work on.. PLEASE HELP! Thank you! ...Paul
- This idea intruigues me. Clean of what? The cursing, the porn, the humor? All of the above? What is and isn't kosher should probably be decided beforehand. So, anyway, lemme know what you're thinking.--<<>> 22:45, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'd suggest moving too wikia (who run our hosting), for one thing you could more easily move pages using the Special:export and reimport them into your wiki via Special:Import (or ask someone at wikia to copy the Database entires directly), this would also preserve the authour history which technically you need under the terms of the licence that uncyclopedia content is rfeleased under. Anyway good Luck!--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 23:50, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I think he prolly means clean as in safe for kids to read. No cussing, for example. Like, the radio edit of a song. --69.243.255.130 04:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, so like the kiddie version of kitten huffing, then.--<<>> 05:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
A clean uncyclopedia? Please. We have strict guidelines against shock, gore, pornography, etc. Most good articles are PG-13 at worst. Any X-rated articles typically aren't funny and are shot on sight. The only thing we allow is cursing, but those are just little words, and are used sparingly except where the use of the word is vital to the joke. In which case a clean version would make no sense and be totally unfunny. So basically, Paul, you're wasting your time. Go work for the AFA. -- 17:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Never mind.. I changed my mind.. if u clean it nobody wants 2 c the site

Link to tomorrow's anniversary
Would anyone be opposed to adding a link to tomorrow's anniversary day, next to the "more anniversaries" one? It would make it slightly easier to edit them, a day in advance, which may improve the average anniversary quality somewhat. Perhaps. Not a big deal, really, but I thought I'd ask first. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 09:36, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Do it. --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 14:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- The route to the aniversairs was actualy deliberatly made slightly longer because we found that the quality went down in big way if it was too easy to edit.--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 14:55, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- I will second Elvis - the easier it was to get to the anniversaries, the worse they were. At the moment, a couple of ambitious people seem to be producing pretty darn good reskins. And the easier they are to find, the less a surprise they are. I know one can watch recent changes and all, but there are a lot of users who don't, and for them, it is fairly novel to find a completely different main page once in a while. 23:53, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Wait...I thought we were talking about the "On This Day" type of anniversaries. --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 23:57, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. I'd agree there too. 00:05, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- I was talking about the "on this day"s. And Elvis, it's only tomorrow's anniversary that'd be linked to, so they would all be checked out by whoever's watching recent changes before anything actually got to the main page. So it'd probably be ok. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 06:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I typed this in this accent so that you can understand it. Of course, that was completely unnecessary, because you are probably intelligent enough to understand it like this. However, that wouldn't have been fonny!
But really, a worldwide website should not automatically assume that the reader is necessarily an American and will understand what you're talking about. Of course, countries such as the UK, Australia and even Ukraine are now been heavily dominated by American culture, but that doesn't mean they automatically become part of the Stars and Stripes empire. (Getting damn near it, though...)
I finally would like to emphasise, again, that I do not hate America, nor do I love any other country, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE remember that Uncyclopedia is NOT meant to be 100% American.
So help me, God.
Amen.

Using Wikimedia's bandwidth
The image that you're using on your main page to parody Wikimedia's fundraising efforts (meter.png) is hosted on Wikimedia's servers. Please remove it. Thank you. —David Levy 08:23, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, but... are you authorized to speak for Wikimedia Foundation? And if it's a polite request, why are you accusing us of "stealing" someone's bandwidth? - Sir Sikon [formerly known as Guest] 08:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- 1. No, I'm not speaking in any official capacity.
- 2. I didn't intend to offend, but using someone else's bandwidth without permission is stealing. Nonetheless, I've toned down the section title. —David Levy 09:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- David, you do realise that the banner links to a page where we encourage people to donate to Wikimedia, and give all the links for them to do so? I should see Mindspillage (Wikimedia Board) or Jimbo later today, I'll check with one of them on the bandwidth issue. -- sannse<staff/> (talk) 08:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- 1. Yes, and that's kind of you to do, but this is a pet peeve of mine. I have a sense of humor (and fully support your right to parody Wikipedia), but I don't see why it's necessary to display image files hosted by Wikimedia.
- 2. I'm certain that the amount of bandwidth consumed is negligible. It's the principle of the matter. Doing a nice thing doesn't give you the right to do something not-so-nice. Of course, if Jimbo or Kat gives you permission, that's a different story. —David Levy 09:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Incidentally, mightn't it be funnier to create a fake graphic depicting an absurdly small monetary sum (e.g. CA$16.37)? —David Levy 16:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
