Question
Can I ask why changes removing my name from a page were reverted? Totally understand if it's a policy thing, would just rather that my name wasn't associated with something that happened when I was still an angsty teen if possible! Cheers
 * Sorry, you will have to be more specific what you are referring too, as I have made no reversals/reinstated user deleted real life names edits in any recent articles - Spirou (talk) 22:52, 6 September 2014 (EDT)
 * Sorry, my bad there, I forgot to log in first! It was on the article for a group called "TeenageFurs" - it was a group started during a large amount of drama that to my knowledge has stopped and restarted since I left (around 2008) leaving me not truly the founder any more.  Attempted to remove my name and left a note saying to revert if this is a problem, I assume it is (as you have reverted the changes) but wonder if there is anything I can do to purge my name from this article?  I really don't want to be associated with the drama that comes with this group - especially as I left it when I was around 19 and am now 26!
 * Totally understand if it has to stay that way for policy reasons etc, just don't see the relevance of leaving me as "Founder" at this stage as from what I gather (talking to current users trying to find more info for the wiki page) the group has been dissolved and restarted multiple times since then anyway!

 * Understandable, but the information about you being the founder is been out there since 2007 in the public arena, e.g. common knowledge. And it's handle, not your RL name, which if this was the crux of the issue (private information), then it could be subject to removal or rewording (with exceptions). The removal of historical recorded data of an alias connected to site known to a lot of people over the years is hard to justify; Dragoneer would be facing the same dilemma if he wanted to disassociate his handle with his public aware project (Fur Affinity).
 * But I will ask other curators their take on this subject. - Spirou (talk) 23:48, 6 September 2014 (EDT)
 * Ok cheers for your time, it's not a massive issue or anything, I just want to distance myself from this stuff if possible. As I said before - if it's a policy issue etc, then no problemo.
 * It is possibly worth pointing out that this isn't a large group or well known by a lot of people - but I'll take your say as final on this, won't edit the founder info on the article again without your go-ahead.
 * Thanks for getting back to me. - FuzzyTic (talk) 05:54, 7 September 2014 (GMT)
 * No, I didn't say you couldn't or needed permission to edit this or any other article on Wikifur. It's a Wiki after all, just explained the reasons for the revert, and you can still push forward your point (name omission), and other editors and curators may bring further insights if it the information should stay, rewording and/or omitted. Tl;dr: One explanation of the revert does not equate further edits from your part, nor the final word about your point - Spirou (talk) 03:44, 7 September 2014 (EDT)
