* Macskeeball (n=macskeeb@adsl-70-240-89-52.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net) has joined #uncyclopedia

<Macskeeball> Hi, I'm doing a school paper and found an article on this site when I was searching Google. What would be the proper way to list it in my bibliography? Thanks in advance.

<PantsMacKenzie> ...

* PantsMacKenzie giggles

<Splarka> uncyclopedia? or another wikicity?

<PantsMacKenzie> I...

<Macskeeball> Uncyclopedia

<PantsMacKenzie> err

<rcmurphy> Just "Uncyclopedia."

<rcmurphy> Your professor will know the site, don't worry.

* Splarka nods

<PantsMacKenzie> Yeah.

<Macskeeball> yeah, but she wants it in MLA format.

<Splarka> although, hmm

<Splarka> lemme find the one for wikipedia

<rcmurphy> Wikis are exceptions to MLA.

<PantsMacKenzie> out of curiosity, which article are you referencing?

<Splarka> it is almost as reliable as uncyclopedia

<Macskeeball> I have to cite my sources right.

<rcmurphy> You can cite the author of the page.

<Splarka> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citing_Wikipedia

<Macskeeball> http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Jim_Anderton

PRIVMSG: -PantsMacKenzie- I'm about to die from laughter

<Splarka> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citing_Wikipedia#MLA_style specifically

<rcmurphy> For example:

PRIVMSG: -PantsMacKenzie- I feel kinda bad... but my insides are hurting too much from giggling

-PantsMacKenzie- we so need to make this a page, somehow

<rcmurphy> Author:Bush15ghey. "George W. Bush." Uncyclopedia.

<rcmurphy> Is usually acceptable.

<_Dawg> Macskeeball: You do know that our encyclopedia contains the world's best and most up-to-date information, right?

<PantsMacKenzie> Hmmm, doesn't the Author generally come after the title

<Macskeeball> Ok, thanks. I hope I get a good grade on this project.

<Macskeeball> Yeah, Uncyclopedia looks like a great resource.

<_Dawg> If your teacher cracks open one of those dead tree versions they might be confused by all the new information they didn't know.

<Splarka> yah. problem with wikis

<_Dawg> That is, the newer, better information in your paper.

<Splarka> or any online source

* rcmurphy is now known as rcmurphyaway

<Macskeeball> Yeah, it talked about a lot of things I hadn't known about. Pretty informative stuff.

<Macskeeball> I recommended it to some of the other peepl in my class.

PRIVMSG:-PantsMacKenzie- ...is he joking? or is he actually serious?

<PantsMacKenzie> Also, what level of school are you in?

<PantsMacKenzie> We like to know where Uncyclopedia is most used
