h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Entry: Uncyclopedia - A5832010 Author: Nerd42 jumped over some of my buses! - *Join Silver Sword; an Interactive Fantasy RPG!* A989698 - U203906 OK, this is my first Edited Guide submission. (well ... I submitted something once by accident when I was a n00b, but anyways) It has already gone through some revision: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F2594249?thread=1635921&latest=1 Anything else that needs to be done, or can I get this into the Guide? Nerd42

Hi again Nerd42!

"Uncyclopedia" -> should be in single quotes.

"all Uncyclopedia entries are completely fake." I know we discussed this in WW and you didn't want to change "fake" to "false". How about "made up" instead?

"vaugely" -> "vaguely"

I like it!

All good ideas! "Made up" sounds good. One moment ...
Nerd42

I have made those changes.
Nerd42

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I have a BAZILLION things to do, and now I'm sucked in by the Uncyclopaedia.

Lovely entry -

one question: at the bottom, under Links, why is there a link to the Uncyclopaedia entry on h2g2? (I didn't click it in case it made my eyeballs explode or something)

'Uncyclopedia'... does that mean to 'get off your bike and walk'?

"one question: at the bottom, under Links, why is there a link to the Uncyclopaedia entry on h2g2? (I didn't click it in case it made my eyeballs explode or something)"
Because that entry it likely to be of interest to h2g2 readers.

Also because I'm trying to get encyclopedia sites entries on each other to link to each other. For example, Wikipedia's entry on h2g2 links to h2g2's entry on wikipedia.
Nerd42

I reckon that the word 'controversial' should feature somewhere in this entry, otherwise you're not really doing Uncyclopedia justice...

OK ... I added something about that.

Worthwhile putting your Entry through a Spellchecker too (an English language based one too if you can, as you've some American English *spits* in there that needs to be changed )

sorry, you'll have to excuse my pea brain


it is the way it is worded - to me it looks like a link to an entry on h2g2...

I'll get my coat!

Enlightening entry!Last night I spent a disproportionate amount of time reading the 'Oscar Wilde' quotes. Top stuff!

You could change the link text to "Uncyclopedia's entry about h2g2"

Love it

I loved it!

HELL

there are more spelling errors? Oh noes! I did put it through one at one point ...

By the way folks, I have a page on WP: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/User:Nerd42

ok now I'm off to http://spellcheck.net/
Nerd42

oops that was a link to my uncyclopedia page, not my WP (wikipedia) page.

I have performed the spell check. I hope there are no more errots!
Nerd42

You've done a good job on the spelling checking!

I think the following would be better with the word "the" inserted before 'vandalism':

if an administrator considers 'vandalism' humorous --> if an administrator considers the 'vandalism' humorous

Our House Style insists on British spellings and a particular format for dates:

judged on humor --> judged on humour
November 22, 2005 --> 22 November, 2005

You must use 'single quotes' instead of "double quotes" in "Trekkiepedia" and "Uncyclopedia Plus!".

G

Gee, maybe they should have called the site "Wickedpedia"?

oh oops! somebody mentioned the single quotes to me before, but I am so used to using double-quotes and american spellings that I always forget. I will make those changes ASAP!
