UnNews

History: When the www...pedia.com family was born. The loving parents had two twin sons. One was a good, loving child named Wikipedia. Wikipedia had a brother named uncyclopedia. This brother was pure evil, he was known as wikipedia`s evil brother. The End.

Sucks. What about the other ones, like Conservapedia and ED? ~// Lunaquois 21:45, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

The definition of uncyclopedia short

IF you don't know what uncyclopedia is yet check recursion

The paradox of uncyclopedia

Wikipedia is sort of a criticism itself of the 'standard' reference industry/organizations. In creating this 'new alternative', however, wikipedia fell into many pitfalls and traps that were the very things it was criticising in the original. Uncyclopedia, in criticism of wikipedia, is sort of in the same boat. The more popular it gets, the more people it attracts, and the more garbage and waste fills it. This leads to complicated untransparent hierachies and social networks that do things like discuss endlessly over whether something is funny, or whether an article should be deleted. Even the height of 'absuridty' and 'satire' must have some standard, otherwise it is, simply, noise.

And I dont know where to put this, so here it is.

Put it in the True Facts page, I think... :-) And then run, while you still can! --Strange.PNG (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 19:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I had always thought that if you type Uncyclopedia into Uncyclopedia it would cause a paradox, thats why i never tried it.... until now Turk brown 19:38, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

"Uncyclopedia is a self-parody of Wikipedia critics" quote

“Uncyclopedia is a self-parody of Wikipedia critics.”

~ Captain Obvious on Uncyclopedia

Unlike the scores of potty- and sex-related jokes on this site, this one's actually funny, so why does it keep getting deleted? SteveSims 00:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Make it Featured

If all the people working on this put effort in, this could be a featured article, just what we need from an article about the site we're on! I know I'm trying. ~ Ghelæ talkcontribs 17:49, 21 April 2006 (UTC)


Religions list

I dunno, but maybe the list of religions should have its own article, complete with a couple of sentences explaining the beliefs, morals etc. of each along with links to their respective articles (should they have one). Just a thought: the list looks a little bit out of place in the article at the moment. --Hindleyite | PL | GUN | WOTM | Reefer Desk - Use it | Converse 17:33, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

A proposal

I was reading the explanations and etymologies on this page and it seemed to me that the overall quality was bad, except for the "unus" - "encyclopedia" stuff, which seems perhaps average. I thing that Uncyc should go deeper and provide a trustworthy, kayfabe story on its own name. Just to show an example how this might work, I rewrote the page with realistic computer science BS, which might go as follows:

Uncyclopedia, sometimes shortened in speech as Uncyc (IPA /un.saik/, X-SAMPA [UHN-psych]) is an attempt to further increase the usefulness, factual accuracy and ultimately, truthfulness of the internet encyclopedic efforts. We here at Uncyclopedia are not claiming that our method is the greatest thing in the world, but we attempt to pay more attention to the scientific treatment of the mathematical graph structure inherent in any interlinked hypertext body, most importantly in minimization of the number of cycles in the document graph, and minimization of the impact of the remaining cycles on the comlexity of graph algorithms run on the database corpus.

While Wikipedia is currently the most widespread of the internet encyclopedic efforts, we in Uncyclopedia have been the ones who originally came up with the idea and always maintained technological edge over the greedy internet would-be-tycoons, who were able to win over supremacy by using unfair methods (see Invasion of Wikiland for full history), including making up things about any topic or subject, and claims that these blatant falsehoods are fact. We in Uncyclopedia strive to tell The Truth about everything, but we also believe that equal attention should be paid not only to the truthfulness of the contents, but also to the technology, in this case the mathematical structure of the network of hypertext documents. We believe that in the age when more and more accesses of the Internet contents is done by the machines themselves, the computational constraints imposed by the hypertext document network topology are becoming the crucial factor in the potential of various internet projects. It is well known that the fastest graph algorithms are the ones that run on trees. While we do not argue that it is possible to completely remove the cycles from the document network and thus convert it into the tree structure, we use several patented algorithms to decrease the number of cycles, increase their lenghts and and handle the overall graph connectivity, while keeping all nodes safely connected. Although our original idea and several initial patents concentrated mostly on handling cycles, today's Uncyclopedia is concerned with much higher number of issues than just cycles, and we work with equal fervor in all the algorithm fields offering possible increase in computational efficiency of the encyclopedia cyberstructure. Uncyclopedia today requires its authors to be not only the experts on the fields they write about, but also to know what's wrong with them, so that the underlying mathematical cyberstructure can be amended.

Etymology: The word "uncyclopedia" is a portmanteau of the words "uncycle" and and Encyclopædium, meaning simply an encyclopedia with decreased number and impact of cycles on computational tractability. Leading "un" in the Uncyclopedia name is sometimes interpreted as coming from the word Unus meaning one (actually an example of linguistic false friends) to give the expanded versions like The Only Encyclopedia, One Footed Tornado, or connection of the word with unicycles, either those of the graph theory or those of real world.

I got my rewrite reverted by somebody and I admit that rewriting the whole story of Uncyc should be agreed to by other users. But in its current shape, the page is really bland. It seems to me that uncyclo- connection with tree algorithms could be a great gimmick, similar to Google's and Yahoo's, just ask the computer scientists. Also the Wikipedia unjust takeover story should be put forward in more realistic way.

The first two paragraphs are excellent, the etymology section could include all three definitions as possibilities, like the wikipedia article of religion. ~ Ghelæ talkcontribs 17:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't trying to be funny. I actually do that. And you can't stop me. In fact, I'm doing it right now. And it's so good. I can't wait to go to hell for this. Spang talk 04:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Y'know, this guy is right. Uncyclopedia does suck, and we do smell like boogers. I'm headed down to Hell right now - hopefully I can beat the rush! Anyone want any souvenirs from down there? They have those really cool "Chronic Masterbater" T-shirts in stock in the gift shop, supposedly.  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
YOU ARE AS FUNNY AS MY CLASSMATE BRIAN WHO THINKS IT IS COOL TO FART IN CLASS I BET YOU AN DBRIAN ARE GAY LOVERS OR SOMETHING HOW ABOUT YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO JUMP OUT THE WINDOW INTO THE STREET YOU GODDMAN FUCKIN QUEER??~!?

So what, it's not cool to fart in class now? Oh, how times change! I could jump out the window, but I'm on the ground floor so it probably wouldn't accomplish much. I would love a chronic masturbater T-shirt. And perhaps some kind of inflatable satan sex toy, if that's not too much to ask? That would be so cool. I'll have to find this DBRIAN, he sounds cool too. Spang talk 04:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I think Gary and Dbrian would both be a little surprised to learn that I had Herpes Simplex 50, especially since I've just injected them both with a lethal dose of sodium pentathol! And how did you know my front door was painted shut? Wait a minute, you're that guy from Wikipedia, aren't you?  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Wait, you mean this is that Jimbo Wales I've been hearing all about? It all makes so much sense now! Hi Jimbo! Herpes Simplex 50 sounds fun, can I have some too? Spang talk 04:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree, UNCYCLOPEDIA SUCKS!!!!! SHUT IT DOWN< SHUT IT DOWN< SHUT IT DOWN!!!

Caps lock is cruise control for cool, but you still have to steer. Also, what's wrong with masturbating to Satan? --Mathew Williams 06:17, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

LOL!

I was editing the wikipedia article for uncyclopedia and it had an editing note that said this:

<!-- NOTE:You are a dosh bag and you did your mom yesterday and sucked hear boobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! == Ownage ass wiki== Best fucking Wiki ever...... : ''''Strongly Agreed'''' LOL! After all, human jokes/puns totally own logic/war/hate/etc/politics/whatever and, yes, even philosphy, I even quoted Uncyclopedia in one of my papers for school and the teacher didn't even notice ! Uncyclopedia was such an awesome idea. To whoever made this page/had this idea/stole this idea/Shigeru Miyamato... uh anyway... I still think Uncyclopedia deserves more attention, because it's probably the biggest pack sarcasm ever seen by mankind. (besides. I think Aristotle was the guy who had the first idea about making an uncyclopedia) Dang... even the names bares some intelligence... hard to make a joke about uncyclopedia...

I'm an editor at Wikipedia, and I've been a lurker of Uncyclopedia for a long time now, and I must say, there's a lot of funny stuff here. I like the "Weapons that don't exist, but should" article in particular. Don't take that suicide pill just yet, I'm was just getting to the point! I also decided to check out Encyclopedia Dramatica, and it sucks. It looks like some kind of Frankenstein of Uncyclopedia and /b/. Way too much pornogparahy and cynical, hateful bullshit. Nothing wrong with a little porno, but I don't see how gallons of semen can make something funny (there are rare exceptions, of course). They don't know a thing about real humour. Apparentely, they don't have a "Be Funny And Not Just Stupid" policy like Uncyclopedia, and they even have the gall to refer to Uncyclopedia as "Unfunnypedia". So here is my suggestion: We should have an article on Encyclopedia Dramatica that explains what kind of /b/tards paradise it is, and the fact that the number of editors there with a good sense of humour is somewhere in the area of -9,000. Currently the "Encyclopia Dramatica" article links to Goatse, which is funny, but a seperate article would be better. Uncyclopedia is vastly superior, and an article about Encyclopedia Dramatica would reflect this. --[[User:Mathew Williams|Mathew Williams]] 06:35, 17 July 2007 (UTC) :Anyone looking to start a "war" between ED and us will be banned from the site.

The subject of people hating ED is somewhat of a sore point around here. I don't know why really, because most people don't take ED-hating seriously any more. --{{User:Strange but untrue/sig}} 14:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC) I am a frequent 4chan user, (mostly /u/ and /e/) and I sometimes go to /b/ for some laughs because it's impossible to take anyone seriously there. I am offended by ED for some reason, though. Maybe I'm offended by the fact that /b/tards (which I'm pretty sure are the main contributers) think they deserve a wiki to smear their crap all over my moniter. It belongs in /b/, at least their posts come and go over there. Some things just shouldn't be allowed to spread. Uncyclopedia's saving grace is it's [[Uncyclopedia:How_To_Be_Funny_And_Not_Just_Stupid]] policy, which has allowed it to grow into a pretty decent place. I see no such policy in ED, they just don't understand real humour. .... I don't why I just noticed, but despite it's many flaws, ED is a decent image dump for memes. Huh. --[[User:Mathew Williams|Mathew Williams]] 15:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC) == interwiki == Add [[it:Nonciclopedia:About]] --{{unsigned|151.75.244.46}} == Cant lie == You cant lie in this page cuz each lie would be the truth (for uncyclopedia is one big FAT lie) about uncyclopedia and every truth would be well... the truth.

The description goes as follows: ::''If the stress of worrying whether a Wikipedia article is factual and accurate is getting you down, take a break and check out Uncyclopedia; it promises to be content-free. It's easy to lose a few hours laughing at the nonsense presented with a straight face here. You could even "learn" a few "facts"; for instance, did you know that a shark, while atop an elephant, is considered the deadliest animal ever? If anyone questions you, just tell them you read it on the Internet.'' In the bottom-left corner of the page there's also a screenshot of the Uncyclopedia Main Page with the caption "UNCYCLOPEDIA - Lose a few hours laughing at nonsense presented with a straight face." Should we take offence and flame PC Magazine for calling us undiscovered? Should we flame them anyway for calling our content nonsense? Or should we be happy that we were recognized? And, should we add our recognition to the article? It'd be adding facts, which is borderline blasphemy.
