==Reversions==
May I ask why you're reverting the edit I made? I tried very hard to maintain a neutral tone. On the other hand, the bannings are documented, and what happened on F-List was definitely noteworthy. --[[Special:Contributions/24.68.148.215|24.68.148.215]] 06:34, 4 April 2011 (CEST)

Badger

[[Image:Bajer Blaquestrype.jpg|right|thumb|[[Bajer]], a fictional badger character in [[Extinctioners]]]][[Image:Badger.jpeg|right|thumb|Real-life badger]]
'''Badger''' is the common name for any [[animal]] of three subfamilies, which belong to the family [[Mustelidae]], the same mammal family as [[ferret]]s, [[weasel]]s, [[otter]]s, and other types of related [[carnivore]]s. The name is possibly derived from the word ''badge'', on account of the marks on the head. There are 9 species of badger, in three subfamilies: Melinae (the Eurasian badgers), Mellivorinae, (the [[Ratel]] or honey badger), and Taxidinae (the American badger).

A '''Badger''' is also a common name for a member of [[constaff]] who checks [[conbadge]]s at the doors of con events and art shows.

== Trivia ==
* Because of their fidelity and gentle nature, badgers are seen by some as a symbol of love and loyalty. This may be why J.K. Rowling selected a badger as the totemic animal for Hufflepuff House in the Harry Potter books.
* The badger's skill at digging has led to folk beliefs that the animal's [[paw]]s give good luck in childbirth.
* The collective name for a group of badgers is a "cete".
* Badgers are still hunted for sport in many countries.

The Wind in the Willows

2011-04-03T00:22:08Z

24.68.148.215: added Badger and Ratty to the character list

'''The Wind in the Willows''' is a [[book]] by [[wikipedia:Kenneth Grahame|Kenneth Grahame]], originally published in 1908. It has been made into multiple film versions, both live-action and animated.

It contains [[anthropomorphic]] animals that can talk, and have clothes, houses, and other human items. The animals include [[mole|Mole]], [[rat|Mr. Rat]], [[toad|Mr. Toad]], [[badger|Mr. Badger]] and [[otter|Otter]]. It is considered by some to be the defining example of a "[[Rabbits in Waistcoats]]" story.

Rabbits in waistcoats

2011-04-02T22:01:37Z

24.68.148.215: removed Narnia from the statement that "... the animals are almost never main characters"; Aslan, Mr & Mrs Beaver, Trufflehunter, Bree, Puzzle, Shift - all are main characters in at least one of the book. The movies - yes, not so much.

[[Image:Whiterabbit.gif|thumb|right|160px|The [[White Rabbit]] is the most likely progenitor of the term ''Rabbits in Waistcoats'']]'''Rabbits in Waistcoats''' is a semi-derogatory term used to describe a genre of [[anthropomorphic]] stories with civilized animals, relatively normal looking beasts that talk and wear [[clothing]], yet at the same time live in their animal ecosystems (albeit in houses) and are subject to predation.

A typical children's story, especially from British children's literature, is full of mice wearing dresses and throwing parties, while still having to avoid cats. The genre may also involves gentle tales of animal villages from a simpler and more innocent time, with mild adventure, though many of the more mature members of the genre can be downright dark and frightening.

"Rabbits in Waistcoats" stories are amongst the most popular of children's books:
* [[Wind in the Willows]]
* [[The Adventures of Peter Rabbit]]
* [[Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH]]
* [[Blackberry Farm]]
* [[Redwall (series)|Redwall]]
* [[Fern Hollow]]
* Most [[Brer Rabbit]] tales
* [[Fantastic Mr. Fox]]
* [[The Welkin Weasels]]
* [[Little Bear]]

Many other similar books may be lumped into this sort of category as well, even while not fitting tightly to definition; in [[Watership Down]] and [[Tales of the Green Forest]], the animals are not quite anthropomorphic enough; in [[Winnie the Pooh]], the animals are primarily [[plush toy|plushie]]s, with a few exceptions; and in [[Alice in Wonderland]], the animals are almost never main characters.

Usually, the genre features [[mice]], [[rabbit]]s, [[squirrel (species)|squirrel]]s and other [[herbivore|herbivorous]] animals, with [[fox]]es and [[weasel]]s playing key villains. British stories feature local species like stoats, water voles and hedgehogs, while ones written in North America have more skunks, raccoons and opposums.

The wide prevalence of this style of story in children's literature contributes to misunderstandings of [[furry fandom]] and its relation both to [[pedophilia]] and [[bestiality]]. [[Furry fan]]s of this sort of story are frequently at odds with the more sexualized aspects of the fandom; many chose to play this sort of character innocently in online environments only to discover that some people find small [[talking animal]]s sexually exciting. Others are [[macrophilia|macrophiles]] or [[Microphilia|microphile]]s and have chosen these small characters, often mice, for this very reason. A third group may be interested in sexual aspects of civilized creatures, but only with similarly styled characters.

The term "Rabbits in Waistcoats" may refer to the sort of characters found in [[Wikipedia:Beatrix Potter|Beatrix Potter]] stories, though the term "waistcoat" was never used in one; Peter Rabbit, for example, wore a bright blue jacket. The idea of a rabbit in a waistcoat probably comes from the pregnantly imaginative description of the [[White Rabbit]] from ''Alice in Wonderland'':
: "''So [Alice] was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.''

:''There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge."''

GingerM

24.68.148.215: /* Furry */

'''GingerM''' is a relative newcomer to [[furry]] [[fandom]]. She is an aspiring writer whose current project is set in [[Bernard Doove]]'s [[Chakat]] universe. She also enjoys [[role-playing]] in various forms.

==Furry==

Her [[fursona]] is [[Rhiannon]], an [[umamusume]] (a form of [[anthro]] [[horse]] similar to [[neko]] in that the body is primarily [[human]] with superficial [[equine]] characteristics and behaviours). Please see her character page for details.

==Online==

GingerM is also active in [[Second Life]], where until recently she was known as Ginger MacMoragh. She closed that account in the fall of 2010 and has created a new account under her [[Rhiannon|character's name]]. She can also be found on [[FurAffinity]] and [[ArtPiles]] under the name "GingerM".

==Real life==

Ginger does not consider herself a furry, [[Otherkin]] or [[therian]], but greatly enjoys playing in the furry community when her employment allows.

She has a technical background in electrical and electronic control systems and finds furry fandom a welcome escape from her work.
