Wikipedia talk:Featured article candidates/Uncyclopedia/archive2

April 1

Probably a stupid suggestion, but being WP:Bold Raul, why not put an unfeatured article on the Main Page on 1 April? Graham.--GrahamColm^Talk 23:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

• P.S. I feel that underlying some of the oppossing views there might be a silent resentment that the article makes a mockery of Wikipedia. Although, I would hate too see this article become formerly featured, (with a star), Wikipedia is now respected, (and is quoted on BBC radio everday), we can afford a bit of fun now. I oppose a formal FA , but why not bend the rules on April 1.--GrahamColm^Talk 00:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

• I agree. I also think that if such an "informal FA" were to take place, some kind of "informal FA" icon be made (I think a tiny squirrel would work nicely), aswell as (hopefully) several "informal FA" voting pages. That way, we can set up guidelines for when and where Wikipedians can have "a bit of fun", and then discuss it. -- Zombiebaron (shout) 02:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

• I really think you two should get back to editing Un' and keep your ideas there, where they belong.--Otterathome (talk) 12:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

• Come on Otterathome, be nice, but honestly a squirrel? There won't be any "informal" things here, because Wikipedia is formal, it's OK to have fun, but we're building a serious Encyclopedia here. I suggest you try to improve the Uncyclopedia article so it is featured rather than trying to change the rules so it can be featured without anybody doing a second of work.

• I think you put that quite nicely Dominik, and I'm glad you can see where I'm coming from.--Otterathome (talk) 15:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

• You drive a hard bargain, sir. How about instead of a squirrel, we make it an otter? Spang (talk) 22:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
