So you have decided to come to Uncyclopedia and read some articles. But you want to know why you should. Well we here at Why? have come up with the perfect answer, why don't you read this, Why Read Uncyclopedia?
What is Uncyclopedia?[edit]
Before we can go into the reason as to why you should read Uncyclopedia we should explain more about it first.
Uncyclopedia was created as a factually reliable resource helping students everywhere learn. We even have a template to help you to ensure quality.
In addition to this there is also a News section and an online dictionary.
The success of the site is so popular that a parody site (Wikipedia) was created to make fun of Uncyclopedia.
Each day a new article is placed on the Main Page and the goings on in the world is reported by the News.
Factual Accuracy[edit]
Uncyclopedia has many factually accurate articles. Nowhere else can you see properly created articles with facts and figures that are useful in an article.
For example, look at Nihilism. Go ahead, click on the link. You see how the page was blank? Well now you know everything about Nihilism. Now for a counter-example look at Wikipedia. See all the words on the page there? That is not what Nihilism is about, so we see that Uncyclopedia is far more accurate.
The same can be said for Morse Code (Wikipedia), Rot13 (Wikipedia), or Redundancy, (Wikipedia).
In comparison to Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia is far superior in being factually accurate.

Because of it's reliability Uncyclopedia has been mentioned by numerous newspapers, these include:
- New York Times

Point of View[edit]
Uncyclopedia is completely neutral in it's bias. The NPOV guidelines ensure that Uncyclopedia is at it's best at all times. When an article is found to be lacking in this guideline, everybody works overtime to fix it.
