Er...

I would like to help out with this process! I would like to keep some of these articles. However, I cannot edit the page to vote. Could somebody tell me why? Staircase CUNt 17:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

You need to be a registered user for a few days before you can edit semi-protected pages like this one. I think its 5 days, but I'm not sure. --Mnb'z 17:29, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Oh, ok! Thanks for telling me that. Staircase CUNt 17:38, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Time limits

Shouldn't we keep articles on VFD a minimum of 24 hours so that people who want to keep articles can vote on the issue? There was recently an article that was deleted in just under 3 hours after nomination. (Or failing that, how about a 24 hour minimum if there is at least one keep vote, i.e. the vote is "contested") --Mnb'z 17:17, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

You know, I came up with the idea a long time ago of a minimum time of 24 hours an article had to be on here. Spang said he liked the idea. MrN said it had to be amended that if an article had a lot of keep support, it should be allowed to be removed sooner. That is the law of the land, as says Dexter.

Instruction Creep

Format change

Someone has changed the format of voting, complicating the process, evidently with the sole goal of prettiness. Maintaining a numbered list instead of a bulleted list required him to edit the vote on Shiva, moving my reply to RabbiTechno away from the vote to which I was replying. This confuses things, though possibly, again, the table is prettier. About the only benefit I can see to the change is that Jupiterfox will never again figure out how to cast a vote.

If you want to do something useful, flip Delete and Keep. I want to read the case against an article before I read the rebuttal. Spıke Ѧ 15:31 23-May-10

It doesn't complicate it in the least. MegaPleb Dexter111344 Complain here 15:38, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
  1. It makes it a lot easier to see where things stand, which is useful for Admins.
  2. It is no more difficult than editing the fucking VFH or VFP, in fact, it is now essentially identical.
  3. I have restored your comments to the way they originally were.
  4. You're a fucking cunt.
  5. ???
  6. Profit.
You forgot that VFD isn't a comment place. LEAVE YOUR STUPID COMMENTS IN YOUR POCKET!! MegaPleb Dexter111344 Complain here 15:44, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

But seriously....

You guys don't like the format change? The only thing that's really changed is the fact it self-tallies. I thought everyone would like that... Also, if you want to leave a comment directly under a vote, all you have to do is #:And whatever comment you're saying. But this is reminding you that VFD isn't suppose to be a discussion page, so this should only be done sparingly. MegaPleb Dexter111344 Complain here 12:52, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

  • Regarding LEAVING MY STUPID COMMENTS IN MY POCKET (you, above), VFD had, and still has, a section for comments. You are right that in-line comments are possible too.
  • The separate change from a bulleted list to a numbered list discourages in-line comments, however. If not done exactly right, the next vote goes back to Number 1. I'd go back to the bulleted list even if you keep the new template.
  • It doesn't self-tally; only sums the Keep and Delete votes, which users must bump--and even you forgot to do so once today.

I can live with the new format. But would still like to see Delete (the case) presented before Keep (the rebuttal). Spıke Ѧ 13:17 28-May-10

Do NOT click any links!/*

While I have to wonder why or even how people would make so many of those, putting the end ones here seems a mite odd. Anyhow, my point is, how can we vote on them without taking into consideration the great pile of linked sub pages within the Do NOT click any links! thing? And deleting them wouldn't so much be deletion as editing, in a way, as they are part of the pile... ~ Lyrithya sig daji.png Lyrithya *shifty eyes* (words) (actions) -- 20100718 - 15:41 (UTC)

Note to users

I've modified {{Votervfd}} to flip the tables because nominator and backers should present their arguments (Delete) before the rebuttals (Keep). Spıke Ѧ 12:22 1-Nov-10

They already do, by nomming and giving their reasons why. This overturns (literally) five years of how this has been voted on, and such a change should be discussed and voted on, imnho. Aleister 12:46 1 11
They still do, in time, and should also do so vertically. It doesn't change anything about voting or coding your vote. Spıke Ѧ 12:50 1-Nov-10

I regret ever convincing MrN to increase it to 20, and now you want 25? That's just deletionism going to fucking far. Most of the articles that are getting deleted nowadays shouldn't even be on here. MegaPleb Dexter111344 Complain here 14:15, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

If you want to keep putting words into my mouth, be my guest. But since you asked so nicely for a reason, I'll give you one: it's funny and it's a classic.

Gay bomb is real. Cat grenade is theoretically real, if someone wanted to put a grenade in a cat. Anyway, if you have any weapons that would make the article better then you are definitely welcome to add them, or to alter the current entries yourself. --Littleboyonly.jpg TKFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK Oldmanonly.jpg 01:49, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

A Suggestion

I'd like to propose that no individual be allowed to post more than say 10 articles on VFD in any week/month or whatever time period people are happy with. I might also like to put forward the suggestion that people are only allowed to vote here for fixed periods too in order for them to take a break. It does seem obvious that the same names are appearing here over and over again which in some cases gives the impression of a focus on deletion rather than on improving and contributing to articles. Would be interested in hearing the opinions of others... -- Sir Mhaille Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)

Nominating 10 in a month is more than enough. VFD is now a factory. mAttlobster. (hello) 17:36, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
Everyone has something they do to improve the wiki. For some people, it's writing articles. For some people, fixing articles. For some people, it's finding awful ones to delete - so that the good articles aren't flooded out by the bad and unfunny. For some people, it's making sure current policies are enforced. For some people, it's cleaning out the maintenance queue every day. For some people, it's writing scripts to improve the wiki, whether those be in PHP bot scripts or JavaScript. For some people, it's just plain voting. All of these people, including the ones here, have their place on Uncyclopedia and do what they can to improve it. So no, I wouldn't recommend certain individuals take a break from VFD any more than MadMax should take a break from categorizing or Thekillerfroggy from writing. No one person does everything on Uncyclopedia, but everyone who's still around tends to do something important that they're good at.
RE: VFD specifically - VFH and VFD have always been notoriously low, and I have to say I'm thrilled to see the current buzz around VFD that there hasn't been for as long as I can remember. I wouldn't want to artificially restrict that. It's taken the VFDers a long while to get here. Thanks to the new tags, the QA patrollers , and last but certainly not least, the wonderful community of people who participate on VFD, our article count is finally dropping, very slowly, but at least it's happening. As I said, everyone has their place, and the goal of the people on here is to get rid of the crap that has plagued the site and left it with an unfunny reputation for years too long. So I'm proud of what everyone is doing here.
In closing, I ask you this. You seem to be implying that VFD is doing too well. Is it actually possible for a voting page to do too well? Could you have too many people on VFH voting constructively? I think the answer is no, and the same applies here; increased activity is a positive thing, not a negative thing.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  SU&W) 17:41 Jul 17, 2011
But the focus of VFH or even VFP are entirely different, at worst you can say that with either a bit of work or getting enough idiots to back you up you can get a featured articles on the front page for a day. VFD involves no work at all (which leaves us with the requirement of only needing enough idiots to back you) and the outcome is that someones work is removed from the website. The message that sends is very different to anything produced by VFH. I've never denied that sometimes the better option is to delete, hell I've lost count of the amount of articles I've deleted over the years, but such a large number of articles get nuked that are more than salvagable that a lot of people are increasingly frustrated. -- Sir Mhaille Icons-flag-gb.png (talk to me)
And yet there are thousands upon thousands of others remaining that are even better off and more worthwhile to fix up. No one is going to salvage all of them; we don't have the manpower to copyedit so many articles, and no article on a subject is usually better than a crappy one. It seems more favorable for people to think "Oh, they don't have an article on this subject yet... I know a funny thing or two to say about it - maybe I'll write one!" than to think "Wow, the article on this subject isn't funny at all, just like the last ten articles I clicked on. Why am I on this site?" Besides, those who want to save an article from VFD save a copy of that article to their userspace. That's a new trend I've been seeing - "delete this now, but I request a copy." It means, yes, I agree with the others, this isn't good enough to stay in mainspace, but I see something in this that inspires me. Anyone who's frustrated by an article getting deleted these days has no excuse not to request a copy for themselves. Those "lot of people" who are "increasingly frustrated" have no excuse to be so long as they've got a working copy and paste button.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  SU&W) 16:29 Jul 18, 2011
That would contradict our new policies of back-door deletion, such as Forest fire week and turning the rewrite tags into fix tags. --Mn-z 00:44, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
Both here and on Wikipedia, there are inclusionists and there are deletionists. Right now, the deletionists have the upper hand around here. Hopefully, the pendulum will start swinging back towards fixing up articles before we start having too few articles on here, with the result of new stubs cropping up on notable topics instead of completed articles. Back when encyclopedias were on printed paper, there was one volume for every letter of the alphabet. That's still a lot of articles. Do we plan to delete everything that is more than 3 years old automatically unless it was featured? How far do we take deletionist policies? If we have too many articles on here, then how many SHOULD we have? -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 02:28, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
I won't deny that my name shows up frequently on VFD. It's just that when I click through random pages repeatedly, I think around 50% of what I find there would have a good chance of being deleted if put up for a vote. The very worst of those is what I bring to VFD. I take after the belief that poor quality is not preferable over nothing at all. The vast majority of the articles we have here are very far from feature quality. It's just my opinion, but I think having 30,000 articles on a joke encyclopedia is just asking for a heavy buildup of unfunny cruft. I would like to see someone come here after viewing ED and YouTube cruft to find mostly very high quality work. I would like for visitors to wonder how we can come up with professional humor on an all-volunteer site. When I see good editors put on their talkpages: "This place is gay, I'm going back to OhInternet," I feel like we have failed to stand out as a truly exceptional comedy website.
As for our own brand of "classics" around here, I wouldn't want to delete things just because they're old. If that were the case, I would have taken a stand on TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL, Mr. Winkler is gay, AAAAAAAAA! and EuroiPods a long time ago. I actually like our old patent nonsense style of humor--it's just been taken way too far. We have enough in-jokes already, unless someone can come up with another completely original in-joke. A few extra jokes based on old in-jokes are great, because it establishes our brand of humor; I just think five dozen copies of My Sojourn is rather excessive. I think most of the classic jokes around here were taken to their limits a long time ago.
Put simply, I think if something is considered unfunny by some users, while being disliked by more than 60% of them, then it should go. The only way to measure that is with a vote. Encouraging more users to vote on VFD would undoubtedly make that measurement more accurate, but restricting the amounts of allowed votes from each user has the potential of skewing those results. I have given a lot of articles the benefit of the doubt and left them to their own devices, only to see them VFD'd weeks or months later with someone wondering how they passed QVFD. That just wastes everyone's time, including that of the author who was mislead into thinking his contributions were acceptable. If I were writing an article, I would want to know in advance if my work was bad, rather than spend valuable time on it just to see it deleted a month later.
...And that concludes my ramblings for the day. -- Tinypony.gif Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. 03:24 July 18, 2011 (UTC)
Indeed; preventing people from voting would just make things worse. More votes means a more accurate representation of the overall arbitrary sense of what folks seem to want to keep in general, but what they want to keep will probably only continue to grow more picky as the overall quality of the site improves. That's what VFD is a part of, improving the overall. Making space for folks to create new articles without deadwood in the way, getting rid of crap or redundancy apt to drive folks off, that kind of thing.

We have had implied votes for as long as I have been around. I believe the rule is (supposed to be) -5 or -4 plus the implied vote of the deleting admin. I does save a marginal amount of time, and it is far from the worst admin behavior on the site. --Mn-z 00:19, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

RANT ALERT

Hate hate hat.

So, here's the rant:

...Even if it a marginal keep, it better get moved into someone's userspace or get rewritten right away or it's coming right back. See, that's one of the problems with VFD. An article is kept because the majority vote keep saying "it's keepable, a quick fix and it'll be OK", and it's kept, but everyone forgets about and we're left with a three-quarters bullshit article which can't go back to VFD and is just standing there waiting to be improved. An example which comes to mind is The Minority Report. Admittedly, it was kept because it didn't garner enough votes for a delete, but one of the keepers said "Time to swoop in, save it, and et cetera...". The most recent edit is from August, when the VFD template was removed. See, something needs to be done about this, like pasting this into the Dump and moaning about it there.

And here are the replies...

But srsly, something needs do be done. --EpicAwesomeness (talk) 15:48, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Please go ahead and renom... it looks like we won't be able to get those last 30 back I'm afraid -- sannse<staff/> (talk) 23:50, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
