During [[Wikipedia:Peter David|Peter David]]'s run on the ''Hulk'' series, Hulk went into space and David addressed reader requests for Rocket's reappearance by implying that he had been killed by the aliens known as the Troyjans, who had a pelt mounted on the wall that looked like Rocket's.<ref name="Hulk413-416">''The Incredible Hulk'' #413-16 ("The Troyjan War"), 1994, Marvel Comics, writer Peter David</ref>

==Fictional character biography==
[[File:Rocket raccoon 01.jpg|right|thumb|170px|left|Cover to ''Rocket Raccoon'' #1. Cover art by Mike Mignola and Al Gordon.]]
Rocket Raccoon acts as the "Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant", an area of outer space sealed off from the rest of the cosmos by the so-called Galacian Wall. Rocket is captain of the starship ''Rack 'n' Ruin'', and he and his first mate [[Wal Rus]] (a talking walrus) come from the planet Halfworld, in the Keystone Quadrant, an abandoned colony for the mentally ill where the animal companions were genetically manipulated to grant them human level intelligence and bipedal body construction for many to become caretakers of the inmates. Rocket was Halfworld's chief law officer ("ranger") who protected the colony against various threats.<ref name="Hulk271">"Rocket Raccoon!" in ''The Incredible Hulk'' issue 271 (May 1982, Marvel Comics). Writer Bill Mantlo, penciller Sal Buscema.</ref>

At one point, Judson Jakes tried to steal the Halfworld Bible, but was thwarted by Rocket and the [[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|Hulk]].<ref name="Hulk271" /> Later, Lord Dyvyne abducted Rocket's friend Lylla, and Jakes began the Toy War.<ref name="RRminiNo1">"Rocket Raccoon/Animal Crackers" in ''Rocket Raccoon'' issue 1 (May 1985, Marvel Comics). Writer Bill Mantlo, penciller Mike Mignola, inker Al Gordon</ref> As the Toy War continued, [[Blackjack O'Hare]] teamed up with Rocket, and Rocket was reunited with Lylla.<ref name="RRminiNo2">"The Masque of the Red Breath" in ''Rocket Raccoon'' issue 2 (June 1985, Marvel Comics).

Writer Bill Mantlo, penciller Mike Mignola, inker= Al Gordon</ref> Rocket Raccoon and his friends cured the Loonies of their mental illnesses, as Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne were apparently killed.

It is also heavily implied that he has a case of obsessive compulsive disorder.<ref name="AnnCSL2">''Annihilation: Conquest - Star-Lord'' issue=2 (October 2007, Marvel Comics).

===Guardians of the Galaxy===
Rocket joins the new Guardians of the Galaxy at the behest of his friend Star-Lord.<ref name="GotGv2no1">"Somebody's Got To Do It" in ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' volume 2, issue 1 (July 2008, Marvel Comics).

Writer Dan Abnett, cowriter Andy Lanning, penciller Paul Pelletier, inker Rick Magyar</ref> Later on, when the team almost disbands and Peter Quill disappears (sent into the Negative Zone by Ronan), Rocket keeps the team alive, and brings in [[Wikipedia:Groot|Groot]] as member, as the two had become firm friends.<ref name="GotGv2no8">"Past Mistakes" in ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' volume 2, issue 8 (February 2009, Marvel Comics).

However, they are unable to teleport into the Emperor Vulcan's flagship and have to be rescued by the Starjammers and Rocket's old friend Ch'od.<ref name="GotGv2no13">"Peacemakers" in ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' volume 2, issue 13 (June 2009, Marvel Comics) Writer Dan Abnett, cowriter Andy Lanning, penciller Brad Walker. inker Victor Olazaba</ref> They are able to bring back the rightful queen of the Shi'ar, but she's killed once Rocket had departed, much to his horror.<ref name="WarofK3">"The Head That Wears the Crown" in ''War of Kings'' issue 3 (July 2009, Marvel Comics) Writer Dan Abnett, cowriter Andy Lanning, penciller Paul Pelletier, inker Rick Magyar</ref>

After the Guardians disband,<ref name="ThanosImpDev">"Devastation" in ''The Thanos Imperative: Devastation'' issue 1 (March 2011, Marvel Comics) Writer Dan Abnett, cowriter Andy Lanning, penciller Miguel Sepulveda</ref> Rocket Raccoon takes up a normal job with Timely Inc.<ref name="Annihilators1">"Blame it on the Black Star" in ''Annihilators'' issue 1 (May 2011, Marvel Comics) Writer Dan Abnett, cowriter Andy Lanning, penciller Tan Eng Huat, inker Victor Olazaba</ref> He and Groot were reunited and tricked into returning to Halfworld: here, he found out his memories of the place were mostly half-truths and deliberately crafted fake memories. In reality, Jakes and Blackjack O'Hare had worked with Rocket in providing security at Halfworld Asylum for the Criminally Insane; ''Doctor'' Dyvyne had been Head of Psychology there; and both the anthropomorphic animals and the automaton clowns were deliberately created to work at the asylum, as their appearance would calm the inmates. The crises that Rocket half-remembered had been caused by the psychic supervillain the Star Thief, who had been admitted as an inmate and used his psychic powers to turn the inhabitants against each other. Rocket had turned the warders into a biological "key" to keep Star-Thief locked up, and deliberately altered his mind and left Halfworld so it could never be opened - but he was tricked into returning by the Thief, whose mind had escaped into the asylum after his host body died.<ref name="Annihilators3">"Wraithfire" in ''Annihilators'' issue 3 (July 2011, Marvel Comics) Writer Dan Abnett, cowriter Andy Lanning, penciller Tan Eng Huat, inker Victor Olazaba</ref>

==Powers and abilities==
Rocket Raccoon possesses the normal attributes of an Earth raccoon, including speed (which has been additionally amplified by his training) an acute sense of smell, sight, hearing and touch. He is an accomplished starship pilot, an excellent marksman with the two laser pistols he carries as well as having an affinity for heavy weapons. He is also an excellent military tactician and leader, attributes that help him take charge of the Guardians of the Galaxy when Starlord is unavailable.

'''Spider-Ham''' (real name '''Peter Porker'''), is an [[anthropomorphic]] [[pig]] [[character]] who is the [[funny animal]] parody version of [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics']] popular [[Wikipedia:Spider-Man|Spider-Man]] character. He was created by [[Wikipedia:Larry Hama|Larry Hama]], [[Wikipedia:Tom DeFalco|Tom DeFalco]] and Mark Armstrong.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Brevoort |first1=Tom |last2=DeFalco |first2=Tom |last3=Manning |first3=Matthew K. |last4=Sanderson |first4=Peter |last5=Wiacek |first5=Win |title=Marvel Year By Year: A Visual History |date=2017 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1465455505 |page=213}}</ref>

His first appearance was in the 1983 one-shot humor comic book ''Marvel Tails Starring Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham'' #1, which was then followed by an ongoing bimonthly series, ''Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham''. The series lasted 17 issues, all of which were published under Marvel's Star Comics imprint. The character primarily exists on Earth-8311, which was a universe populated by other anthropomorphic animal parody versions of Marvel superheroes and supervillains.<ref name="Time">{{cite news|title= Top 10 Oddest Marvel Characters|work= Time|date=2009-09-03|url=http://entertainment.time.com/2009/09/02/top-10-oddest-marvel-characters/slide/spider-ham/|access-date=2010-03-04}}</ref>

== Publication history ==

Spider-Ham was first featured as star of the 1983 humorous one-shot ''Marvel Tails'', with a backup cast of other anthropomorphic talking-animal parody versions of popular Marvel superheroes, such as Captain Americat (a cat version of Captain America), Hulk-Bunny (a rabbit version of Hulk) and Goose Rider (a goose version of Ghost Rider).<ref>{{cite book |last1=Becattini |first1=Alberto |title=American Funny Animal Comics in the 20th Century: Volume Two |date=2019 |publisher=Theme Park Press |isbn=978-1683902218 |chapter=Super-Animals}}</ref>

Two years later, a solo series, titled ''Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham'' debuted under Marvel's Star Comics imprint. The series, published bi-monthly, lasted seventeen issues before its cancellation in 1987. With the cancellation of ''Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham'', the character became a backup feature in ''Marvel Tales'', a monthly reprint series showcasing Spider-Man's past adventures. Beginning with issue #201 (cover dated July 1987), these new Spider-Ham stories appeared in issues #201–212, 214–219, 223–230, 233, 236, 237, 239, 240, and 247 before ceasing altogether.

In issue #3 of ''What The--?!'' (cover dated October 1988), Porker meets with Raven the Hunter (a parody of Spider-Man's nemesis Kraven the Hunter) in a story that satirized the popular "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline which had been featured a year earlier in Marvel's Spider-Man titles. Spider-Ham also makes appearances in issues #18, 20, 22, and 24 of ''What The--?!'' The 26th issue of ''What The--?!'' (cover dated fall 1993) features "Spider-Ham 15.88", a humorous take-off on Peter Parker's future counterpart, Miguel O'Hara a.k.a. ''Spider-Man 2099''. The "15.88" is not seen as a year, but rather a humorous take on the price of a ham (the cover states that it was marked down from the original price of $20.99).

Spider-Ham has also appeared on the cover of ''Wha...Huh?'' #1, and was referred to as a fictional character in the Earth-616 Marvel Universe, in ''Generation X'' #52.

== Fictional character biography ==

Spider-Ham was born a [[spider]] (simply named Peter). He resided in the basement lab of May Porker, a slightly goofy animal scientist who had created "the world's first atomic powered hairdryer", hoping that "the introduction of nuclear fusion into America's beauty salons" would "revolutionize the hair care industry".<ref name="Time"/> After dousing her head with water and activating the dryer, May Porker accidentally irradiated herself, and in a fit of delusion, bit Peter, who then found himself transformed into an anthropomorphic swine much like May Porker herself. Running from the Porker homestead disoriented, Peter soon came to realize that he still retained a spider's abilities:

<blockquote>''"This is astounding! Am I a spider with the limitations of a pig? Or a pig with the proportionate strength and agility of a spider? I've become something greater than either spider or pig... I've become a '''Spider-Ham!'''"'' – ''Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham'' #15 (May 1987)</blockquote>

After this startling series of events, Peter (who adopted the surname "Porker", that of his benefactor May Porker, who after the accident mentally attuned to a state in which she believed she was Peter's loving aunt) dedicated himself and his new-found abilities to fighting injustice and the occasional animal parody of established Marvel Comics villains. May Porker's scientific genius was transferred to Peter, giving him the know-how to devise his webspinner gauntlets to replace his lost natural ability.

Spider-Ham begins to fight injustice and the occasional funny animal villain parodied of existing Marvel villains, such as Ducktor Doom, often alongside funny animal versions of Marvel heroes, such as Captain Americat and Hulk-Bunny. Another one of his enemies includes Pork Grind, who is an animal version of Venom whom he also fights among others that are also animal versions of Marvel villains.

== Comic issues ==
[[File:Spider-Ham variant cover of ASM 528.jpg|right|thumb|175px|Variant cover to Amazing Spider-Man #528, by Mike Wieringo.]]
The Spider-Ham series also included back up strips featuring such characters as Deerdevil ([[Wikipedia:Daredevil (Marvel Comics)|Daredevil]]), Goose Rider ([[Wikipedia:Ghost Rider (comics)|Ghost Rider]]) and the Fantastic Fur (the [[Wikipedia:Fantastic Four|Fantastic Four]]).

Some of these back-ups were contradictory, presenting different anthropomorphic versions of characters in different stories, such as two [[Wikipedia:Namor|Namor]] counterparts: the Sub-Merchandizer (a [[dog]]) and the Sub-Marsupial (possibly an [[Wikipedia:Opossum|opossum]]).

However, the Asinine Torch (a [[donkey]]) that appeared in a story with the Sub-Marsupial and the Fantastic Fur's Simian Torch are not two variants of the Fantastic Four's [[Wikipedia:Human Torch|Human Torch]]; since he was depicted as elderly in the 1980s, and referred to as an "old sparring partner" of the Sub-Marsupial's, he was obviously a counterpart to the [[Wikipedia:Human Torch (android)|Golden Age Human Torch]].

== Back into the mainstream ==

The character faded into cult status, alongside other funny animal super-heroes, such as DC's [[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew]]. Until recently, the Marvel crew decided to give Spider-Ham another chance.

Returning triumphantly in 2005 by popular demand in a poll in variant cover art for Amazing Spider-Man #528 by artists Mike Wieringo and Karl Kesel, Spider-Man Family #1 featured a sixteen-page Spider-Girl story, in which May Parker (Peter Parker's daughter) watches a DVD showing a small portion of a fictional Spider-Ham animated series, discovering that it was created by one of Spider-Man's enemies, Jack O'Lantern. Also in the issue, there was a reprint of ''Marvel Tails'' #1.

Spider-Ham was selected by fans and retailers to be the focus of the final variant cover by Mike Wieringo to the ''Spider-Man: The Other'' crossover, ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #528.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.newsarama.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=53776 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081211063549/http://www.newsarama.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=53776 |url-status= dead |archive-date= 2008-12-11 |title= [Updated] CHECKING OUT THE SPIDER-HAM |work = Newsarama |via= Web.archive.org |date=2008-12-11 |access-date=2019-06-30}}</ref>

Finally, after a nearly 20 year hiatus of Spider-Ham stories, in January 2007, J. Michael Straczynski authored the ''Ultimate Civil War Spider-Ham'' one-shot, featuring Spider-Ham's attempt to find his missing "thought balloons" against a [[Wikipedia:Civil War (comic book)|Civil War]] parody.

Tom Defalco returned to Spider-Ham's world in 2009, in the pages of ''Amazing Spider-Man Family'' #4–5. He introduces Swiney-Girl, the daughter of Spider-Ham and counterpart of Defalco's other creation Spider-Girl. Once again, the story strays away from the established, albeit loose, continuity of the original Spider-Ham stories by altering the character's origin and supporting characters, most notably in establishing Peter Porker as a natural-born pig bitten by a radioactive spider (directly mirroring Spider-Man's origin) and altering his love interest (a counterpart of Mary Jane Watson) from a water buffalo to a crane.

He fights alongside the ''X-Babies'' in issue #4 (March 2010) of their four-issue miniseries from 2009–2010.

To mark the anniversary of ''Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham'' #1, Marvel released the ''Spider-Ham 25th Anniversary Special'' in July 2010, with Tom Defalco writing both Spider-Ham and Swiney-Girl stories. These stories feature most of Spider-Ham's original cast and origin, but incorporates the Mary Crane Watsow character from ''Amazing Spider-Man Family'' rather than her original counterpart.

In the 2019 comic, ''Amazing Spider-Man: Full Circle'', Spider-Ham, along with Bombastic Bag-Ham and his symbiote suit are also featured.

In 2022, a graphic novel was published called ''Spider-Ham: Hollywood May-Ham''. The book features Spider-Ham and Mary Jane Waterbuffalo to make a documentary about his status as a superhero with Alfred Peacock (a parody of Alfred Hitchcock). After noticing mysterious happenings on set, he realizes Peacock is actually Mysteriape and attempts to defeat him and the Swinester Six.

==In other media==

===Television===
* In the animated series ''[[W:Ultimate Spider-Man (TV series)|Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', Spider-Ham appears in two different forms.
** In the fifth episode "Flight of the Iron Spider", Spider-Ham makes a cameo appearance as one of the universes Spider-Man and Living Laser were transported in.
** In the season one episode "Run Pig Run", Loki disguises himself as as hot dog vendor to give Spider-Man an enchanted hot dog that turns him into an anthropomorphic pig resembling Spider-Ham on the day of Asgardsreia, a holiday where Asgardians go on a day long hunt which ends at sundown, as payback for foiling a previous scheme of his. With the help of Thor, Phil Coulson, Nick Fury, and his fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. trainees, "Spider-Ham" evades the Executioner and his Asgardian hunters until he turns back to normal at the end.
** Spider-Ham proper later appears in the multi-part episodes in seasons three and four, voiced by Benjamin Diskin. This version of Peter Porker was a pig who got his powers from a spider that fell into his Aunt May's vitamin pancake batter and transferred said vitamins and powers to him, turning him into Spider-Ham. He used his powers for good and even joined his world's Avengers, but J. Jonah Jackal turned the public against him and forced him to quit. In the episode "The Spider-Verse" Pt. 2, Spider-Man encounters him while he is relaxing on his farm. With his encouragement, Porker decides to become Spider-Ham once again and help him fight the Green Goblin. Following the battle, Iron-Mouse, who is Iron Man's animal counterpart, offers Spider-Ham a spot on the Avengers again, which he accepts. In "The Spider-Verse" Pt. 4, Spider-Ham joins forces with a group of alternate reality Spider-Men to help Spider-Man defeat the Spider-Goblin and Electro. In "Return to the Spider-Verse" Pt. 1, Spider-Ham ends up in Peter Parker's living room due to the effects of the shattered Siege Perilous. In "Return to the Spider-Verse" Pt. 4, Spider-Ham is captured by Wolf Spider, who seeks to drain all of his multiversal counterparts' life forces, before Spider-Man defeats Wolf Spider.

===Film===
* Spider-Ham appears in ''[[W:Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse|Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse]]'', voiced by John Mulaney. This version follows similar cartoon animal behavior as seen in cartoons from the golden age of American animation and bears a resemblance to [[Porky Pig]] from the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' franchise. Additionally, Spider-Ham's origin remains the same and he seems to be aware of the fact that anthropomorphic animals are not common in other universes. He arrives in Miles Morales' universe along with Spider-Man Noir and Peni Parker due to the Kingpin's machinations before teaming up with them, Morales, Peter B. Parker, and Spider-Woman to get back to their respective home universes; using his unique skill set to fight off the Kingpin's henchmen along the way. Before returning home to his own universe, he leaves his cartoon mallet with Morales as a keepsake.
** Spider-Ham appears in the prequel short ''[[W:Spider-Ham: Caught in a Ham|Spider-Ham: Caught in a Ham]]'', which is part of the home release of that film, with Mulaney reprising his role. When he is about to enjoy a hot dog, he gets kidnapped by Doctor Crawdaddy. He battles and defeats him in his typical cartoonish fashion until an interdimensional portal appears and affects him and his surroundings in a manner similar to the ''Looney Tunes'' short ''Duck Amuck'' before whisking him away, leading into his appearance in the film when he gets sucked into it and his hot dog pops out of it.
** Mulaney had also expressed interest in a potential film starring Spider-Ham, describing its plot as a Watergate-like story along the lines of ''The Post'' or ''All the President's Men'' while focusing on the character's career as a reporter.
* Mulaney returned to voice Spider-Ham in the animated short film ''Back on the Air'', which was created to promote the character's appearance in the video game ''[[W:Marvel Contest of Champions|Marvel Contest of Champions]]''.

===Video games===
* Spider-Ham makes a cameo appearance in ''[[W:Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions|Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions]]'', voiced by an uncredited, former Activision Associate Producer Kevin Umbricht. In a post-credits scene, Spider-Ham answers Madame Web's call to save the multiverse, but arrives after the Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man 2099, and the Ultimate Spider-Man already did so.
* Spider-Ham appears as a support card in the "Heroes vs. Heralds" mode in ''[[W:Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3|Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]''.
* Spider-Ham was available as a purchasable hero in ''[[W:Marvel Super Hero Squad Online|Marvel Super Hero Squad Online]]'' on March 15, 2014 to celebrate the game's anniversary.

Please leave a message for me by posting your reply/query at the '''BOTTOM''' of the page. I will leave a reply for you later either here and/or on your own page talk page.

== [[File:Pawstop.png|25px]] Regarding article exclusion (removal) from Wikifur ==

* Please consult the [[Wikifur]]'s page about "''[[WikiFur:Personal exclusion|article exclusion]]''" first.
* The request must be made by the article's user, with some exceptions (next of kin, lawyer/barrister, etc...).
* The exclusion will delete the ability for others to edit it any further, plus a protection layer is added by Wikifur's [[curators]] so is no longer searchable on such sites such as [[Google]].
* NOTE: [[WikiFur:Personal information|Removal of personal information]] is normally not the same as exclusion, and it can be done without needing curator assistance.
* The request can be made in a myriad of ways (Email, [[Zoom]]/[[Skype]], [[Twitter]], [[Facebook]], [[IRC]], [[Fur Affinity]]'s DM/[[Discord]], etc...).

If you are trying to contact me specifically about an exclusion, please send me a DM via Twitter at "[https://twitter.com/SpirouWikifur Spirou on Wikifur]".

== Nyinxie ==

The WikiFur page Nyinxie has been deleted on 22 September 2021 by Spirou, see https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Nyinxie.

Editor's summary: Not ready for prime time article. What does this mean? i don't understand - {{unsigned|Nyinxie}}

:Hallo. As it was (a couple of links and request to expand the stub), the article was not ready for inclusion yet (see a full article like [[Splash Fusky]] as an example). If you still working on it, is best to build it on your user page, then copy/paste as an article when is ready to be published.

:I moved the available data to [[Nyinxie]]'s talk [[Talk:Nyinxie|page]]. Direct users there to help you out fleshing it out. Hope it is clear, Cheers - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 19:23, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

I would like to have my page, located at [[Faux-Pa]], removed from WikiFur by Personal exclusion. I have attempted to contact [[GreenReaper]] via Email 2 weeks ago, but have yet to receive a response.{{unsigned|Nikolai-The-Wolfdog}}
:No problem, just fire me a [[Twitter]] DM at [https://twitter.com/SpirouWikifur @SpirouWikifur], or I can can review the '''Controversy''' section (issues seem to have been worked out between both parties internally, so is no longer an standing problem, and is not something that affects the [[fandom]] in general, so it can be edited out as of now). Either way, please take your time. Hope this helps. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 14:48, 28 September 2021 (EDT)

== Request: New Turkish Subdomain for WikiFur ==

Hi;

I've already posted this request in GreenReaper's talk page and emailed him but I haven't received any feedback, yet. I apologize if I'm acting impatient.

Could you create a Turkish subdomain in WikiFur so we can contribute it by our native tongue ?

Thanks. - {{unsigned|DarkBloodKing}}
:Hallo. GreenReaper is the best person to perform this task, I can email your request to him, shouldn't take long. Cheers - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 19:58, 17 November 2021 (EST)

==Request: Page Deletion==

Hi

Can you please delete this wiki that was made for me years ago: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Wildcat_Lolita

I'm no-longer in the fandom and wish to have my page, all my information and edits completely removed.

If you need conformation of identity, please contact me at neko.go.neko@gmail.com

Thanks

==Request: Page deletion==

Hi could i possibly have my user page (https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Eddy_Dobhran) removed? I am no longer comfortable with this information being here.

Thanks, Eddy

:Hallo Eddie; please send me an [[Twitter]] DM for verification (@SpirouWikifur), and I will take it from there, cheers. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 01:30, 5 January 2022 (EST)

==Request: Source citations==

Heyo Spirou, thanks for all your patience and help with my page so far.

I have some sources you can use for my WikiFur page, which I've put in the Talk page of my article.

I don't know how to add citations but if you can add an example I can just copy and paste stuff myself, which is entirely how I wrote the original article.

[https://whitetigerofthenorth.blogspot.com/2021/10/worldbuilding-for-my-fursona.html Here's a link to my blog where I reference my immigration], which you can add as a citation for my immigration under "early life" and change "at the age of 16" to "under the age of 18".

Thanks for everything,

Etrius [[User:WhiteTigerOfTheWest|WhiteTigerOfTheWest]]

== Issues with citation templates ==

Hey Spirou, I'm curious as to your comment on [https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Polybun&diff=548278&oldid=548277 this revision] where you mention that the reference templates I've been working on lately were "bombing" Safari. I also use Safari as my main browser and haven't encountered issues. Are you able to provide more info on what's causing problems, or what affect it seems to be having? Thanks! {{:User:AlexanderGrey/sig}} 12:31, 23 February 2022 (EST)
:Saving on preview causes the page to lock, and eventually crash. Does not happen on (Apple-approved) Chrome or Edge (could be a Safari extension issue, maybe Grammarly). first page with this type of reference edit use instead of the ones we have been using since day one, is there a reason for using this type now?. If this is GreenReaper approved, no prob, but syntax that may cause a possible crash could be an issue (if extension related, could be a pain if I have to switch them off to just edit an article) - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 14:51, 23 February 2022 (EST)
::My assumption would be that it would be extension related if it's not happening in other browsers. Nothing too weird in the syntax either, it's pretty much the same as what Wikipedia were using before they transitioned all their major templates over to Lua (which WikiFur doesn't support).
::I started updating and using citation templates (most already existed, just hadn't been used or updated for several years) to try and bring some consistency to citations. I personally find it easier to assemble them if there's a template with specific parameters and formats to use, and it of course removes some human error from the equation. Most other wiki projects I contribute to also use such templates, so WikiFur either lacking equivalents, or those equivalents being so massively out of step, was pretty jarring for me. They're not something I'm pushing to be a standard on WikiFur, but they're a tool I personally find useful. {{:User:AlexanderGrey/sig}} 15:15, 23 February 2022 (EST)

== IP ==

Hello. Do you have permissions to hide my IP on [https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Zonkpunch&diff=549369&oldid=549356 this diff]? I didn't see I was logged out. On another note, I'm working on fixing the issues you pointed out. I'm a Wikipedia editor so I know wiki formatting for example, but I'm still getting used to some of the different policies here. [[User:Yiff|Yiff]] ([[User talk:Yiff|talk]]) 12:04, 7 March 2022 (EST)
:Please contact [[GreenReaper]] to hide the IP, I'm not cleared for that. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 01:05, 10 March 2022 (EST)

== Quick Thanks ==
Thanks for cleaning up my page and getting rid of the dude putting stuff on my page about farts XD. I made some more revisions to my page if you wanna take a look but just wanted to thank a homie for looking out <3 -[[Dexter Freisen|Dex]]

:No problem, anytime. Be aware that you need to upload an image via Wikifur's upload file page to have it available in the article, cheers. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 21:28, 15 April 2022 (EDT)

::Yea I tried but it says I don't have perms yet so I took them down. Gonna add some for all my characters. Thanks for the formatting too btw!

== Block ==

Good evening,

I created the account GrantGraywolf about 7 hours ago. I can see why you blocked me, since I didn’t contribute anything and made no edits to my user page. My email address and IP are both blocked as well, so I’m sending this from my phone.

My intent was to edit the page for [[Longhorn Furs]] and create an article for its successor org, Longhorn Furries. I’m smack in the middle of finals season so I didn’t get to this right away. I’ve also read through WikiFur:About and understand wiki policy.

I would like to kindly request my block be lifted. If you need any sort of verification, I can happily send it. If the ban is permanent, I’ll also understand.

I apologize if I’ve made any mistakes, and I wish you well.

Thank you,
Grant

==Edits==
Hello!

I recently added some characters from SpongeBob to the Fish page as anthro characters. I was wondering why my edits were gone, then I saw the comment to go with it. This is my first time editing mind you but here are some links to the wikis where I found what their names are:
https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Incidental_40
https://spongebob-new-fanon.fandom.com/wiki/Nat_Peterson
https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Sandals

If they aren't major enough characters to add, I understand that though.
Cheers!

{{unsigned|Feesh}}

:Except for [[Mrs. Puff]] on [[W: SpongeBob Squarepants|Sponge Bob Squarepants]], we don't include incidental characters as it would quickly overtake the article. If we did so, the article would be just [[Shark Tale]] and the [[Finding Nemo|Nemo]] franchises' incidentals. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 21:17, 22 May 2022 (EDT)

Hello. I'm requesting that my article [[Eurodex]] be excluded. I no longer wish for it to remain on here for personal reasons.

Where can I find the original text?
I don't want to write it a third time.
I looked to see if I could hire myself as the director of my own event (Staf).
However, you have already deleted it twice.
There is no more information on several other staff.
I would finally solve it so that the event does not have a dead link, but they keep deleting it.

Why is it good that instead of my name, Stafs now reads: {{unsigned|188.6.73.162}}

I'm starting to feel like you're targeting me and my page, I don't care that you think certain things don't belong the way you seem to think they do, but I'm getting sick and tired of your elitist edits on my page. I'll kindly ask you to leave me and my page alone.
:*Sigh* First, it’s not YOUR article, it is an article about YOU in Wikifur. Second, me, you, others, anybody can edit your article so it becomes what the article should be and work with the rest of thousands of user articles on this wiki, third, I’m not targeting you, so kindly do not THREAT anybody who gives its/their time on this wiki. I edited out your article because I’m working on other Wikifur articles offline, keeping an eye on vandals on the recent pages, and removing spam, so I had spare minutes to help you with the article about you. And fourth, if you are losing iit because another editor is working on your article, you will not make in the real world.

:::::(*Facepalm*). Oookay, using another account to circumvent the ban you should be in? (...disregard this time only once). Alright, again, as stated elsewhere, your "work" was not destroyed, it is still on your account's talk page ([https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/User:Thaddeuswolff here]).

:::::You created a "Create-n-Forget" (more than 24/48 hours with no further edits after the first creation time) article for [[Hiena Frappe]], which you then left bareboned and incomplete. In the past, these types of articles were actually deleted, but now, if there is a minimum of data now, they are moved to the original creator's Talk Page ([https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/User:Thaddeuswolff in your case, again, here]), which it gives the original editor time to flesh out the article until is ready to post on the main page.

:::::That said, if I can understand your above response, I hope this is for another ([[human]]) user, which is fine. But if it is for your [[fursona]] only, nope. Unless the fursona is notable, fursona articles must remain inside a user's main article (your article). - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 10:06, 28 December 2022 (EST)

Can a human write anything…yes…machines run on pre defined instructions….so get off your ass and so help me god…editors…noteworthy?…is this your game board…it’s not!…it’s a public domain and anyone can upload, whatever they feel necessary…and btw to all of you…don’t call me a machine….asshole btw you belong in the bottom of a cracker jack box - {{Unsigned|Thaddeus wolf}}

== Request Page Removal ==

Hello! Could I please have the page https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Roman_Otter removed? I have also send a DM on Twitter with the same name. Thanks! Happy New Year!
:And done. Thanks for the verification DM. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 04:14, 6 January 2023 (EST)

== Request for Spider-Ham page update ==
Back in 2022 last year, I added other forms of media Spider-Ham has appeared in. But even though it is said that Sub-Marsupial is an opossum, it is unknown what kind this character is so I added that this character is possibly one.

== Clarify policy about infoboxes ==

Hello Spirou, recently you reverted an edit of mine where I added [[Template:Infobox person]] to an article, with the following reason given: ''-Peson infobox. Imfoboxes are used on special article only (notability, death, others), sry''. I am confused about this, since the person whom the article is about is deceased and should therefore qualify. I am also confused about where this policy is found as I have not encountered it before. I have reviewed [[WikiFur:Policies and guidelines]] and I do not see any restrictions on where person infoboxes (which in my opinion, are simply a formatting tool) can be used. Can you please clarify where this policy is listed? I also request that you edit the Usage section of [[Template:Infobox person]] to include the policy there so that future editors can be aware of it. Thank you

:The policy is known among curators and long-time editors, as to why it has not been added to the "WikiFur:Policies and guidelines", is a matter of time and effort, as in it is another thing among hundreds of edits to be taken care off. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 10:48, 4 February 2023 (EST)

== Please delete my wikifur page ==

I requested it deleted around 2018 sometime, right after I made it.

Yes I put a lot of work into the page, but I'd rather not be all stalked on the internet.

Also DMd on twitter.

== Stop blocking T-Mobile IP addresses. ==

I don't expect you to understand the technical intricacies here, but the large majority of people who are blocked/banned are using mobile devices to make edits. This makes it difficult for anyone using T-Mobile Home Internet, such as myself, to actually use the website. Mobile IP addresses are random. Due to the nature of how cellular access (?) works, it is technologically impossible to assign a static IP address to anyone using a mobile device like a phone or tablet. Even some mobile workstations (laptops) have WWAN cards that also include cellular data connections. I had to *manually* change my IP address 10+ times to get one that wasn't blocked, which involves waiting 5 minutes for my router to restart. Mobile phones make ban evasion incredibly easy. Stop blocking IPs and just force some pages (like mine) so that only registered users can edit them. I am a fearless, loud, vocal, offensive asshole with fearless, loud, vocal, offensive opinions and that upsets a lot of people, hence the repeated vandalisms on my page. Many imageboard websites running booru forks do this as well, making it impossible to upload or comment. I understand that this is technically frustrating for everyone involved, but websites like this need better (aka modern) ways to identify and quickly deal with abuse. Gone are the days of static IPs being assigned to home internet. Even normal ISPs like Comcast and Verizon are starting to randomize IP addresses for user privacy. If you want to discuss an actual solution to the problem, you or someone who works on site backend can contact me at my registered email address.- [[user:WhiteTigerOfTheWest|WhiteTigerOfTheWest]]

:Hallo, Curator [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] would be the person with the "know-how" to handle this particular issue, this is above my pay raise currently. Be aware that GreenReaper operates on [[W:Greenwich Time|Greenwich Time]].

==Vandal articles==

There are three articles that all seem to be a variation of the [[Kirru]]. All three have the same information and should be deleted. There are Kirrus, Kirridae and Kirrini. [[User:Tai 1|Tai 1]] ([[User talk:Tai 1|talk]]) 19:29, 30 March 2023 (EDT)

==Sparky the Dalmatian==

The page redirects to Sparky the Fire Dog, but this page doesn't exist. Can this be fixed?
==About my page==
I am a furry artist and specialise in [https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51011165/ Menophilia], Urophilia, and crossdressing art, just check my Furaffinity, I have come across others who have made nsfw involving menstruation fetish. Yes it is a thing, and yes it’s both furry and non-furry, you can also find things on pornhub and e621 involving menstruation fetish. I am nốt trying to vandalise, but provide info on this topic.—[[User:Lunarmoon21|Lunarmoon21]] ([[User talk:Lunarmoon21|talk]]) 22:21, 3 April 2023 (EDT)

:It may be a thing, but is not [[furry]] common enough to start its own article; We don't want to start creating an article for every [[paraphilia]] there is in the world because some [[furries]] may be into a specific one, unless notable enough within the fandom, even if is connected to mainstream culture (i.e. [[vore]], [[transformation]], [[macro]], etc). - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 22:47, 3 April 2023 (EDT)

==Article Deletion Request==
Hi, please delete my wiki page https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Dusk-Runner . I have moved on from this handle and my work is no longer online. I would like my own old (and rather terrible) article removed. I've just sent a DM on twitter

==Felidae fix==
Can you fox Tom Cat on the Felidae article? I wanted it back the way it is.
