== [[File:Pawstop.png|25px]] Leaving a comment/request/other ==

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 Personal Exclusion (article 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 '''ONLY''', 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 [[curator]]s so is no longer searchable on such sites such as [[W:Google|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, [[Bluesky]], or [[Fur Affinity]]'s DM), but the best way is to send me a DM via BlueSky at "SpirouWikifur” (Requests via [[Twitter]] ['''X'''] is no longer possible as the account is no longer operational).

__NOTOC__
== Slur in locked article ==

Earlier this month you locked [[BlueFolf]]'s page to protect it from vandalism. Unfortunately, in the Controversy section the noun form of transgender ("...who used to target ''transgenders'', activists, and allies."), a slur, is used instead of the preferred transgender people. As I cannot edit it myself, could you please change that? <small>—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Kittycatpilot|Kittycatpilot]] ([[User talk:Kittycatpilot|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycatpilot|contribs]]) 15:21, 30 September 2025.</small> - {{unsigned|Kalendar}}

:I shortened the protection time to now so edits can be made - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 17:38, 30 September 2025 (EDT)

== Thanks ==

Seph2: Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. ^_^

== Arnie Skunk ==

Spirou hello, my name is Arnie Skunk and I was creating fusty page because he already have a job as a professor in Rexington Area College, Illinois University, and Mineral Area College as his PhD and he teaches Furry classes well FALL is Furryology I (Basic Education) and then SPRING is Furryology II is a fun Education by creating arts and costume making class. Can you put that on his page? I asked fusty's permission and he said yes on it. Oct 8, 2025 4:58 a,

:Done - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 21:13, 5 November 2025 (EST)

== Masterveiser ==

What was wrong with the username Masterveiser (now [[User:Red0095]])? I don't see anything obviously inappropriate to the name, and there seems to be [https://www.furaffinity.net/user/masterveiser an active Fur Affinity by this name.] [[User:V. CA|V. CA]] ([[User talk:V. CA|talk]]) 20:31, 19 October 2025 (EDT)
:Users have used names with double entendre in the past, and this came too close to "Masterbeiter" ('''Masturbator'''); if somebody created an actual name with this layout, I will revert the ban to it. Thanks for the heads-up. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 20:51, 19 October 2025 (EDT)

== "Edits" ==

So let me get this right. Others can post deaths and used "passed on, passed away" but we can't use that, and you keep changing it to "died" (we have made this changed hundreds of time in the past). This feels targeted. Nice going on Queenzy's page. Us and the family would like her page removed from wikifur. Thanks. - {{unsigned|2605:b100:720:b455:648e:1463:4e31:96cd}}
:No, no, '''they can't'''. If there is an article using that term in the first paragraph ('''[born 1980 - passed/passed on 2010]'''), it will be changed ('''[born 1980 - died 2010]'''). There are still hundreds of articles that have not been checked yet.

:"'''Passed'''" can be used within the article itself, though:

:'''=== Death ==='''

:'''Sara passed on Sunday, 3rd, due to complications of [[COVID]].'''

:98% percent of users who have passed on use the "Born/Died" syntax, and in 10.5 years, no editor has deemed this to be out of order or disrespectful. And here is an interesting fact: Three MacOS' grammar checking apps (i.e., Grammarly et al) will try to change "passed" to "die" when checking this article.

== "Edits" #2 ==

We the members and friends of Queezy life are requesting the immediate removal of her page. The disrespectful nature of "died" is not what we wanted. We have seen others use lighter and nicer terminology and seeing that that's been disregarded, and actively being changed back to "died" from "passed on" we no longer want her page part of this form. - {{unsigned|2605:b100:720:b455:f18b:2f06:5d5a:d340}}

:"''The disrespectful nature of "died''"... "''This feels targeted''"...
:(...) The only disrespect here and now is the dragging of her name through the mud because of a fanatical, asinine, incorrect assumption. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 21:13, 5 November 2025 (EST)

The members of her life are respectfully requesting her page is removed. Thanks.
