Thanks! If you have not noticed, I am a member of those guys at uncyclopedia. I am amazed that someone left me a message on my Talk Page as soon as I signed up! Cool! –- Skate1168 Moments after the other guys message.
P.S. I need to make my custom sig! :# (Don’t worry, I already know how, so you don’t need to teach me, remember I am from those guys at uncyclopedia.
- Awesome, this is really working out for me :D Best and easiest welcoming of a new user ever. Thank you so much ILOVE YOU. Anyway, hey again. have fun with the sig, and keep appreciating them knockers, for they are fine. -- 21:16, 27 Aym 2009 (UTC)
Okay, that I don't know. What are knockers?
–- Skate1168 Again, moments after the other guys message.
P.S. Nice Smiley!
- Knockers are boobs, in our crude American terms. Also, welcome to illogicopedia. I came here from uncyclopedia also, though I haven't been active there for kwite some time. --THE 14:02, 28 Aym 2009 (UTC)
Oh.
--Skate1168 16:01, 28 Aym 2009 (UTC)
P.S. I have been having lots of trouble logging in to illogicopedia. If you have too, here is how to remedy it.
Step 1. Go to the Main Page
Step 2. Refresh the page like crazy!
Step 3. Repeat steps 1 & 2, except on the Login Page.
Step 4. You should be logged in!
Check out my new sig! I am going to work on it some more later, but I think this sig is good for now. What do you think
--Skate1168 (Talk) 20:29, 28 Aym 2009 (UTC)
I just learned how you made that simley! Check out all of these emoticons! :D :( :P Do you know anymore?
--Skate1168 (Talk) 20:34, 28 Aym 2009 (UTC)
I figured out how to make the site work better! See below:
http://en.illogicopedia.org This link does not work well. :(
http://www.illogicopedia.org This link works much better! :D
--Skate1168 (Talk) 00:01, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)
New User! Holy crap! We haven't had any of them in like... Forever! Well ones with potential at least...
Yo wazzup? I saw you on the recent changes and I hope you stay here. I've been here for almost a year now and I'll never leave. And I saw that you came from Uncyclopedia. I'm not going to bad-mouth it but here's a link to what I've written about it... THE LINK!... I know... It got featured, too... If you ever have any of the following ask on my talk page or this guy's talk page.
- Trouble with something
- A question about what you should write
- Or want to do a collaboration ((In that case, screw the other guy)
Of course we have a kind and courteous at our local IRC channel.
Anyhoozle... Happy editing!
Thanks! I can't beleive you have a featured article! Do you have any tips on how to get an article featured? --Skate1168 (Talk) 00:34, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)
P.S.
Good News: I am going to try my best to keep contributing... and my best is really good! (and I mean REALLY GOOD!!!)
Bad News: There is a Parental Blocker on my computer, and the IRC Channels and Software are blocked. :( :( :(
Oh, almost forgot, I love your sig! -- Skate1168 (Talk) Moments after my last message.
Actually I have 4 featured articles. They are found here. psst. Every letter is a link do a different one. So.. tips on how to get featured:
- A TITLE: Create an article with a good name. Sometimes simplicity is good, and others it is funnier to have a long name. Notice an article 'o' mine that may get featured: "The Epic Adventure of All Adventures Did I Mention Adventures?... Donuts?". The name is long and it makes it funny. But in my featured article "Toast", the name is really short and it adds to the irony of it not being about toast in general. Overall, the title may take some time but generally, your first idea, is your best idea.
- What kind of article?: I've broken Illogicopedia into these types of articles. Note the list is long.
- Short 'n' sweet (like Is)
- Conversation (can be long like Are you Freaking Kidding Me? or short like Eat Your Vegetables!
- Short narrative (different from a story because it's more of an overview of something that happened. ex. The cows are acting suspicious)
- Story (like Toast. Shorter than EPICS)
- EPIC (A long-ass story. Since there's a template, here's the category: [[Category:EPIC]])
- IRC (Though you could hack the parental blocker by using a tutorial on YouTube, this is just people really talking on IRC. I'm pretty sure the only article featured that was on IRC is RAY)
- Biography (I personally can't think of any featured biographies so I'll put the article that gave me the pic in my sig that failed at feature, The OMG Scary Alien. Okay. I'll admit. I do know of one that got featured but I like promoting my articles, okay? Here it is anyway... Flub Nugget)
- Place (Straightforward)
- All of the above: It can be anything and generally there aren't any other articles like it. Once again promoting mine and Some WHAT!?'s article, Letters to the Editor.)
- So once you decide the type...: Just write. And add pics.
That's pretty much it. If I were you I'd find a way to get on IRC (or IRK as we call it) in the near future.
Good luck! :-)
--T3 <--Hey... It is pretty awesome...
How to really get features
Listen 'hun, I've been around the block a few times, and I know what it takes, if you follow what I say before long you'll have so many gold starts your feature hole will be saggy and destroyed. Basically the way I see it you have three main obstacles to overcome.
Getting your article nominated
This is the tricky bit, nobody likes a self nom. Not even you, so don't do it. A review is a guarenteed method, good reviews allowing self nommage of an article to take place, but if you suck this is not an adviseable method. For the most part you will have to rely on cunning.
- As with all true ninjas, the goal is to get your article on VFF before who knows what's happening. Stealth is largely negated by the big letters on recent changes that describe your actions to the world, as well as the "SELF NOM & FOR" you'll probably end up including on the vote page. Ameteur. Your best bet is to bring a mate on to the site, who can nom it for you, or creating a "mate", hinting that they're a high up user from some other site as to increase their street cred.
Great, your article is up for nomination, all you've got to do now is get people to vote for it. Ultimately, the aim of the game here is to get people to vote for your article without actually reading it:
Getting other users to vote for it:
- Collab, write an article with as many people as humanely possible. With all this team effort one of two important things should happen:
- The article will become so long that outsiders won't actually boher to read it, and mistake all the contributors and general talk page babble about it for quality, no matter how awful the article is. Testes handy hint of the day: Getting a "prolific user" with many past features to help out often puts peoples minds at ease, helping them to assume an article is good before they actually read it. Getting these people on board isn't always easy, so it is strongly adviced you invoke the ah mate clause to ensure their contribution.
- The writers who helped you create the article WILL vote for it. Only someth in recorded history has anyone voted against their own article, the more people who collaborate with you on it, the more assured votes you're getting.
- Another good ploy is to lean heavily on injokes, links to articles by others, and links to the users themselves. As long as your article is not face rapingly bad they'll chuckle warmly and relate to your article, consolidating your vote count.
- Vote for their artciles, whatever they have up for feature, love them, lavish their talk pages with adorned templates and offer to lick their scrotums for free. Everyone likes a salivary ball once in a while, it softens up the mind, amongst other things.
- Become an admin. More specifically, a vampire. Vampire's can do whatever the hell they want, even demote other vampires. Demote everyone, lock everything so only you can edit it, and BAM, a monopoly on features is yours. Note: Wannabe Vampires go through rigorous mental and physical testing, and only those that prove themselves true to the cause, and unwavering in loyalty to upkeeping the rules progress, and by progress I don't mean become Vampires. They just get a heartfelt "cheers" on their talk page from Seppy, and told to "get back on with it". No opping. So in retrospect, ignore this last bit.
Writing the article
Whut?
Congratulations
If you've followed my instructions so far your article should be queued, and the gold star in the bag. If not, just spam VFF with every article you've ever created, and if that doesn't work, vandalize the tits out of the place, get banned, and cry.
(What not to do)
- Write magnificent articles, with or without others that someone will see, nominate, then eventually feature. This NEVER works.
- Work off your dinner and precious revision time writing this guide.
So there.
Sorry I was bored. --
14:04, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)Thanks for the tips!
Wow! You really should make all of that advice into a How-To, it would definitely get featured! By the way, I have tried hacking the parental blocker with youtubes tutorials. Here is the story:
I tried using a IP address for blocked sites:
It blocks the IP's
I tried using a proxy site:
It blocks the proxy sites
I even tried using cached pages:
Well, it does not block too many of those, but what use are they anyway?!
There is only one solution:
Do it at my local library , but the problem with that is:
1. I barely ever get to go to the library.
2. It is practically a battle just to get a computer, because everyone else uses them for there own sick pleaasures.
3. I don't usually get to stay at the library that long.
When my parents finally decide I can have a laptop, I could use on of the internet cables and access IRK (IRC) that way, when my parents leave (which only happens sometimes).
So I can pretty much forget about it. :(
Maybe I get lucky though, maybe! :)

Cool censor tip!
Hey, if you highlight a censored word or sentence, you can see what has been censored! You can also use select all to read all of the censored items in the article! Try it on this article! --Skate1168 (Talk) 17:56, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)
WHaye, i made that stuff into an article on your advisce :P
17:57, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)Cool! What is the article name, I need to know because I looked in the recent changes and saw an article called Illogicopedia:Review/HowTo:Get An Article Featured, but it was a review. --Skate1168 (Talk) 18:01, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)
HowTo:Get An Article Featured - yeah. -- 18:23, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! :D --Skate1168 (Talk) 18:29, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)
Yet another comment
These are becoming a newdarn regular thang. Anyway, thanks for your general work around the site, you're actually a real swell user. I'm glad you liked my comment/article, anyway, just generally thanks. It's nice to see you on recent changes. --
22:18, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)Your Welcome :D --Skate1168 (Talk) 22:19, 31 Aym 2009 (UTC)
Woah there
Though we appreciate adding categories, it's really not necessary to point out every article is a thing, or part of everything. Try to keep it minimal, and specific please. --
15:14, 1 Yoon 2009 (UTC)Oh, Sorry :# --Skate1168 (Talk) 15:15, 1 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
I thought everything was supposed to go in the Everything Category though. --Skate1168 (Talk) 15:16, 1 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Nah, the everything category is more for coordination of other categories, in a heirachial system so that the categories would flow into an umbrella category, and the umbrella category would flow into a wider umbrella category until it became apparent the next link up would be everything. :D 16:00, 1 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Oooooooh, now I know why there where so many subcategories in the Everything category! Thanks :) --Skate1168 (Talk) 16:02, 1 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Order of the Paperclip
I am trying to make it into the third class of the Order of the Paperclip. Wish me luck!
- Will do -- 18:33, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Third Class Requirements
[Yes] 100 edits in the "main" namespace
[Doing] 6 high-quality articles
[Doing] 1 article listed in Illogicopedia:Vital
[Yes] 4 forum contributions
I have one question though...
At the above section (Third Class Requirements), what do they mean by "6 high-quality articles", does that mean featured? I know that does not mean EPIC, beacuse that is for First Class. --Skate1168 (Talk) 15:29, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- It just means more than one liners, stuff you're happy with. -- 18:33, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Moving Pages
I was just looking at the logs and I was wondering, how do you move a page? --Skate1168 (Talk) 16:31, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- There's a button for it, maybe you have to earn it I forget, but, uh, if you do use it, do so sparingly. -- 18:33, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Emoticons
Okay, it's official, I know all of the emoticons! One small problem: I have no clue how to make them without the MediaWiki Image syntax ( [[]] ). Anyways, here are the Images!
File:Asleep.png File:Crazy.png File:Cry.png File:Em17.png File:Embarrised.png File:Gasp.png File:Grin.png File:Hmm.png File:Love.png File:Mad.png File:Questn.png File:Sad.png File:Shocked.png File:Shy.png File:Slick.png File:Tongue.png
Does anyone know the symbols for making them (like :D for the Grin image)? --Skate1168 (Talk) 18:25, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Not a clue -- 18:33, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Anyway, one final thing, if you have a problem it's best to put it on some one elses talk page :P where they'll see it. It flashes etc for them So yeah, have fun and stay safe. Always use a poppadom. --
18:33, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)Thanks for all the answers! What's a poppadom? File:Questn.png --Skate1168 (Talk) 18:36, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
P.S. I love Emoticons! :D
Hey! Great news! I figured out how to make all of the emoticons without the MediaWiki Image syntax ( [[]] )! Go to this page to find out how!
So check this out, cool emoticons, no MediaWiki Image syntax! :Z :S :'( B) :@ :O :D :) File:Hmm.png <3 >:( :? :( O_O File:Shy.png :| ¬_¬ :P
Well, all except hmm and shy, I didn't really get those. Still cool though! --Skate1168 (Talk) 18:54, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Look at the very bottom of my Talk Page
See those links? I am going to make those into a template, but what should I call it? :?
- {{User:Skate1168/Portlet}} also, while you are at it, make them internal links--<css>
span.seppysig{
color:orange; text-decoration:underline; font-family:monospace; font-size:14px;
}
span.seppysig:hover .visible{
display:none;

display:none;
}
span.seppysig:hover .invisible {
display:inline;
} </css>Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 22:00, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice B) --Skate1168 (Talk) 22:21, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Oh, wait, how do I make a internal link for the edit option. I know how to make an internal link for the other one though. :| --Skate1168 (Talk) 22:32, 2 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Life's too short to just do categories :-)
C'mon. Write a little. :-D
I agree. I was just thinking about that today, and you know, I should stop being so afraid of writing a bad article. Thanks for the inspiration (don't worry I have lots of ideas)! :) --Skate1168 (Talk) 02:03, 3 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Hooray, lemonade and mini-jello for everyone. Also, don't bother with the article or java quote categories thingy, it has enough subscribers ;) And remember, articles only really need one or two specific categories, which most incidentally. If it pains you that much there's a link to the uncategorised pages on recent changes (at the top - look for it) anyway, you could do them if you wanted, could get a good read along the way. 07:32, 3 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- I also agree. Don't be afraid of writing stuff! Most of my articles are bad but I still write them anyway...
- Cheers for doing all that reverting stuff for me, Testicles. Also note that there aren't supposed to be any articles in the everything category, just for future reference. Wotcher. -- Hindleyak Converse • ?blog • Click here! 11:19, 3 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Don't bother.
Don't do that thing. It's all screwed up now.
And I don't wanna fix it.
I guess you have a point, but I was thinking I could fix it. I thought it was a good idea though. File:Hmm.png --Skate1168 (Talk) 21:38, 3 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

Sig tip!
Hey, I just looked at how your guyses (guyses, LOL!) sigs were signed, and I figured out something, you can use any page as a sig! :D So look at my sig in the edit window and there is no mess! :D --Skate1168 (Talk) 19:02, 4 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Why Hello There!
You seem like a nice new user. My name's Readmesoon, and I work here, doing stuff like writing featureable articles and making featureable images. I see you have a lot of questions, and this probably isn't the best place to ask them. You should probably ask an admin, or you could just ask Hindles. He can surely answer almost all of your questions. Also, regarding the math eqaution, you're going to have to get used to it. I do it all the time, mainly whenever I add my sig to something. Also, if you want to avoid wasting time logging in, just check the "Remember me" button right below the login area. I hoped I helped out, and have a good time here! —rms talk 19:07, 4 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Hey, nice to meet you. :D About the "Remember me" button right below the login area, can you undo that if you want to :? --Skate1168 (Talk) 19:10, 4 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info! :D One thing though, were can I find some of your articles? :? --Skate1168 (Talk) 19:33, 4 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Well actually there are three of my articles nominated right now. The are Coprodysmorphophobia, Welcome to Biscathorpe!, and Astronomy Wars:The Umpire Strikes Out. Also, if you want to look for other articles of mine, go to my userpage, roll of over the little "1" and then click the link. —rms talk 19:40, 4 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the complement! :D I thought the colon rule was based on who was talking. :O Your sig looks nice too. :D Speaking of your stuff, that roll over the number trick is so cool, like this next emoticon! B) --Skate1168 (Talk) 20:09, 4 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- P.S. Just for thought, which color blue did you like?
Good News!
The Math thing went away! :D --Skate1168 (Talk) 20:06, 4 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
P.S. More good news! It seems like when the site is running slow, just save a copy of the main page. Then the site runs normally again and you can delete it! :D
Hey! Readmesoon!
You don't mind if I take some code from your page, do you? :@ --Skate1168 (Talk) 23:01, 4 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- No, of course not. And if you wish to cantact me, leave a message on my talk page, ok? —rms talk 04:09, 5 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
Ok :D --Skate1168 (Talk) 13:46, 5 Yoon 2009 (UTC)

- Do you mean it? File:Shy.png --Skate1168 (Talk) 18:32, 5 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I know that was a joke, but you do sort of edit a lot, Skate. One thing that you shold do is stop infomring us of pointless things on your talk page. When I first saw your talk page, I was like "Holy shit, this guy is popular!" but it turns out most if it was like status updates on myspace. You should probably stop doing that now, and if you want to talk to anyone leave a message on their talk page, not yours. —rms talk 18:34, 5 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, one thing, I am going to need to archive this page, so we are either going to have to end this conversation or continue it after I archive this, ok? File:Hmm.png --Skate1168 (Talk) 18:44, 5 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Yea, I have just been writing articles about unicode characters lately, and there a touch harder to write on. --Skate1168 (Talk) 21:23, 6 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I think you should hit up something factual that you can write on. Take a look at Snowman for example. Also stories are good, too. —rms talk 21:26, 6 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
- Top tip: On edit summaries, Dont tell us youve 'left my comment'. Try and say some more original like "Shagged my secretary". Okay, maybe not that but be more original. Like a dog with herpes. Try to be like a dog with herpes. Actually, fuck that, dont. Just get herpes. Ok?--Ben Blade 22:20, 6 Yoon 2009 (UTC)
