:''This is not the same person as the similarly-named writer [[Doug Linger]]

'''Doug Winger''' (also known as '''JustDoug''') is a well-known [[furry artist|artist]] in the [[furry fandom]] whose trademark is [[hyper-endowed]] [[herm]] characters. Though he is ''best known'' for the hyper-endowment depicted in most of his drawings, his art also characterizes his good humor and attention to detail.

Doug is also known for his quick wit and love of word play. The unofficial unit of [[squick]]age, the ''[[milliWinger]]'', is named after him, as is the term ''[[Wingerized]]''.

A rumor suggested that Doug was an animator for the acclaimed [[Wikipedia:Nickelodeon|Nickelodeon]] cartoon series [[Wikipedia:SpongeBob SquarePants|''Spongebob Squarepants'']]. This rumor is incorrect, but he has indeed worked as an offsite freelance animation background artist for the same company for [[Wikipedia:Dora The Explorer|''Dora the Explorer'']] and [[Wikipedia:Angry Beavers|''Angry Beavers'']].

Doug regularly [[role-playing|plays]] himself as a [[human]] character on [[FurryMUCK]], where he often spends time in the [[Herm Haven]] (a place whose very existence can be partially credited to him). One of his most famous furry [[character]]s, [[Pandora Pup]], is also a regular resident at the Haven -- but she/shi is not played by Doug.

Doug presently resides at the [[Hotel Yorba]] household in [[Wikipedia:Santa Ana, California|Santa Ana, California]], USA, with fellow artists [[Steve Martin]] and [[Bob Guthrie]].

WikiFur:What WikiFur is not

2006-10-26T20:07:14Z

71.246.245.23:

{{policy}}

[[WikiFur]] has several goals, and [[WikiFur:What WikiFur is|is various things]] to various people, but there are some things that it is '''not'''.

== What WikiFur is not ==

=== WikiFur is not intended to hurt anyone ===

'''[[WikiFur:WikiFur is not intended to hurt anyone|WikiFur is not intended to hurt anyone]]'''. This means, above all, that you should '''[[WikiFur:No personal attacks|avoid personal attacks]]''', both in your articles and in your discussion with other users. Personal attacks are forbidden by the [[Wikicities:Terms of use|Wikia terms of use]], and repeated instances will result in revocation of editing privileges.

Similarly, if you believe information that you intend to post would be damaging to someone's personal or professional life, consider whether this is the most appropriate place to present it. If you still feel it is right to include it in an article, strive to present it in the most factually accurate and non-biased manner that you can. If others disagree with its inclusion, work with them to reach consensus on the discussion page, and to achieve a solution that does not leave others unhappy, particularly those concerned with the information.

This also means that we ''may'' grant people some measure of control over [[WikiFur:Personal information|personal information]] posted about them, although it should be noted that this is up to the discretion of the [[WikiFur:Administrators|WikiFur administrators]], and is generally restricted to information generally considered private (such as age, location, and real name), not your public actions (forum posts, historical web pages) or the actions of others (e.g. pages with apparently factual statements that are not to your credit). If you really ''have'' done something particularly bad, or worked up a documented history of misdemeanors, you're going to have to live with that.

=== WikiFur is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files ===

'''WikiFur is neither a [[Wikipedia:Mirror (computing)|mirror]] nor a repository of links, images, or media files'''. All content added to WikiFur may be edited mercilessly, and in general it is a bad idea to assume that anything you put on here will remain in the same place over any period of time. By submitting any content, you agree to release it for free use under the [[Wikipedia:GNU FDL|GNU FDL]].

WikiFur articles are not:
# Mere '''collections of external links''' or '''Internet directories.''' There is nothing wrong with adding a list of content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of WikiFur.
# Mere '''collections of internal links,''' except for [[Wikipedia:wikipedia:disambiguation|disambiguation]] pages when an article title is ambiguous, and for [[Wikipedia:wikipedia:Structured list|structured lists]] to assist with the organisation of articles.
# Mere '''collections of public domain or other source material''' such as entire books or source code, original historical documents, letters, laws, proclamations, and other source material that are only useful when presented with their original, un-modified wording. Complete copies of primary sources should go into [[Wikipedia:Wikisource|Wikisource]]. There's nothing wrong with using public domain resources to add content to an article, but note that by default, most sources are ''not'' in the public domain. See also [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Don't include copies of primary sources|Wikipedia's notes on primary sources]].
# '''Collections of photographs or media files''' with no text to go with the articles. If you are interested in presenting a picture, please provide context, or consider adding it to '''[[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]]'''..

=== WikiFur is not a free host or webspace provider ===

'''You may not host your own website or blog at WikiFur.''' Having said this, we ''do'' encourage use of WikiFur by furries for collaborative wiki projects, though preferably they would be related to the furry fandom in some way. You should create such projects in [[Wikipedia:Subpages|subpages]] of your user namespace, or of an article about the project in the main namespace.

If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a significant collaborative effort on something non-furry, there are many [[Wikipedia:List_of_wiki_farms|sites that provide wiki hosting]] (free or for money). If you are looking to create a wiki for a community, we would of course recommend our own host, [[Wikicities:|Wikia]]! You can also [http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/ install wiki software on your server]. (See the ''[[Wikibooks:Wiki Science|Wiki Science]]'' wikibook for information on doing this.)

WikiFur pages are not:
# '''Personal homepages.''' [[Wikifurries]] have their own personal pages in the User: namespace, but they are used for information relevant to working on WikiFur, and potentially some more personal information about them and their presence in the furry fandom. If you are looking to make a personal webpage unrelated to furry (e.g. posting your résumé), please make use of one of the many free homepage providers on the Internet, and link to it from here.
# '''File storage areas.''' Please upload only files that are used (or will be used) in WikiFur articles; anything else will be deleted. If you have extra relevant images, consider uploading them to the [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]], where they can be linked from WikiFur

=== WikiFur is not censored for the protection of minors ===
{{rating-nyr-button2}}
'''WikiFur may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive'''. Anyone reading WikiFur can edit an article and the changes are displayed instantaneously without any checking to ensure appropriateness, so WikiFur cannot guarantee that articles or images are appropriate for children or adhere to specific social norms.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that such material will be removed if noted. While obviously inappropriate content (such as irrelevant links to "shock" sites) will usually be removed immediately, some articles may validly include text, images, or links that would be objected to by some people for various reasons, provided they do not violate any of our existing [[WikiFur:policies and guidelines|policies]] (especially [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|Neutral point of view]]), nor the law of the state of Florida in the United States where the servers are hosted.

If you feel some warning should be given, you could use one of WikiFur's [[:Category:Rating images|rating images]] - the buttons are useful for links, while the blocks are useful for sections. However, you should not consider this binding policy. Where used, they are intended to be equivalent to representing the opinion of others (and not of WikiFur itself), i.e. ''some would only consider this topic/link appropriate for (indicated group)''.

=== WikiFur is not Wikipedia ===

Most editors will at least be aware of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] - some will have come directly from there. While WikiFur looks and works a lot like Wikipedia, and we even link to a lot of its articles and policies to explain similar concepts, '''it is not the same site''', and does not share the exact same goals.

In particular:

* WikiFur does not forbid the creation of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Vanity page|vanity pages]]. We are pleased to have information about members of the furry community, provided that they do not wish to be [[WikiFur:Policy/Exclusion|excluded]], and that the information is accurate and fair to the member concerned.
* WikiFur, which is a community site, does not have the same restrictive criteria on included topics as Wikipedia, which is constructing a general-purpose encyclopedia. The main criteria for inclusion in WikiFur is that a topic must be capable of being interesting to some portion of the furry community. It does not have to be particularly notable, either inside or outside the community.

==== WikiFur is not a ''copy'' of Wikipedia, either ====

It is not a good idea just to copy '''every''' Wikipedia article that has relevance to a WikiFur article. If the topic is not specifically a furry topic, simply ''link'' to the Wikipedia article instead, like this: <nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Articletitle|text]]</nowiki>. This is mostly to avoid us having poor copies of articles which are better maintained by the wider Wikipedia community. Such copies are liable for deletion.

That said, it ''is'' sometimes a good idea to copy articles from Wikipedia, usually when they are highly relevant to the furry fandom and are likely to be expanded here (like articles about furry [[:Category:Comics|comics]], [[:Category:Conventions|conventions]] or [[:Category:People|people]]). Ideally, '''you''' should be prepared to expand them. Be sure to put <nowiki>{{wikipedia|The original Wikipedia title}}</nowiki> at the bottom of the page - this is required by the [[Wikicities:Wikicities copyrights|GFDL]].

=== WikiFur is not a democracy ===

'''WikiFur is not an experiment in furry democracy'''. Our primary method of finding [[Wikipedia:wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] is discussion, not [[m:don't vote on everything|voting]]. That is, majority opinion does not necessarily rule in WikiFur. Various votes may be conducted from time to time, but their numerical results are usually only one of several means of making a decision. The discussions that accompany the voting processes are crucial means of reaching consensus. Ideally, a solution should be found that everyone can agree to. If no consensus can be found between the involved parties, an [[WikiFur:Administrator|administrator]] should be called in to help find a solution.

=== WikiFur is not a battleground ===

Every WikiFur user is expected to interact with others [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Civility|civilly]], [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot|calmly]], and in a spirit of cooperation. Do not [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:No personal attacks|insult]], harass or intimidate those with whom you have a disagreement. Rather, approach the matter in an intelligent manner, and engage in polite discussion. If a user acts uncivilly, uncalmly, uncooperatively, insultingly, harassingly or intimidatingly towards you, this does not give you an excuse to do the same unto them ("he started it!"). Either respond solely to the factual points brought forward and ignore its objectionable flavouring, or ignore the relevant message entirely.

Also, do not create or modify articles [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point|just to prove a point]]. Do not make [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:No legal threats|legal]] or other threats against WikiFur, individual Wikifurries, the [[WikiFur:Administrators|WikiFur administration]] or [[Wikicities:Wikia|Wikia]], our host. Threats are not tolerated, will not help your case (as disagreements are judged on the facts presented ''and'' the conduct of those presenting them), and may result in a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Bans and blocks|ban]]. See also [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|Wikipedia's page on dispute resolution]].

=== WikiFur is not for non-furries ===
If you put forth any edits critical or mocking of furrysex or furries, in general, your edits will be reverted by a moderator and you will be banned for life. Because WikiFur's admins and users, aside from vandals, are furries. Furthermore, WikiFur was specifically developed because Wikipedia's users are too "[[mundane|mentally stable]]," not to mention that the furry fandom, in general, is not notable for any encyclopedia.

Mundane

2006-10-26T20:01:04Z

71.246.245.23:

'''Mundane''' (also known as '''Mundie''') is a popular term used to describe someone who is not part of the [[Furry Fandom]]. It is borrowed from the Sci-Fi fandom, which shares equal definition, but for those who are not into science fiction. The scientific term for mundane is "mentally stable."

Mundane is typically used sardonically toward others, not in the sense that one is "dull", but in the sense that one is not a [[furry]]. It is usually accompanied by an insulting tone, and can sometimes be the response of being ridiculed or mocked for involvement within the furry community. This term is most often used by [[lifestylers]] to describe those that do not share their connection to furrysex. Lifestylers may even use this term to describe another furry who is not a lifestyler. It can also be used in the general sense, e.g. ''Mundanes wouldn't understand our ways'', in which case it's more likely to be meant insultingly.

Closet furry

2006-10-26T19:59:21Z

71.246.245.23:

A closet furry is a furry who won't publicly admit they're a furry, like Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson. Most furries are closet furries, because the "furry fandom," are fucking disgusting and mentally-disturbed perverts.
