:Is Adam in fact deceased? If so, we'd need references. It may worth noting that all of the works in Zaush's gallery on Fur Affinity were taken down sometime in April/May 2010. I don't know why, although I haven't tried that hard to find out. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 21:42, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

== Rape? ==
Mandatory disclaimer: I haven't followed the drama around Zaush. However, I recently reverted an edit claiming Zaush had unprotected sex with a fellow furry. The contribtution made no citation to reputable sources, in fact it made no citations at all. (It was an obvious troll imo.) If Zaush did in fact have a sexual encounter (That isn't to say its even relevant or tasteful to post here.) then reliable sources should be cited. Normally I would be surpirsed that a wiki would allow this type of edit, I mean after all, how many people must have this page on their watchlist? Then I realized what wiki I was on, and I DERPED. -- XXXX {{unsigned|76.218.45.211}}

== FurAffinity ==

I'm surprised to find that recent and past developments over at FurAffinity are not mentioned on this article. In 2010, Adam found himself embroiled in drama when several female artists had accused him of attempting (and in one case succeeding) to coerce them into having sexual intercourse with him. This was widely publicised at the time and Encyclopaedia Dramatica even have their own satire article on the incident, which has plenty of citations. Given that he is now lead developer of the FurAffinity re-write and his past as come up yet again, I cannot help but feel the article is considerably incomplete by neglecting these incidents and his recent (official) involvement with FurAffinity. Before editing I would like to hear other user's opinions on this matter and as to how we should approach the topic, obviously maintaining neutrality will be difficult but none the less essential.

== clarifying job role/scope ==

neer claims "[https://twitter.com/Dragoneer/status/425634079887720449 Zaush has no administrative privileges whatsoever]"; wish I could take the time to find sources but I believe I've read that Zaush has no access to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personally_identifiable_information PII] of FA users; the database used to simulate FA2.0 is filled with made up data ala Northwind. This is pretty standard practice IIRC for information systems in transition; so unless the database model itself suggest security holes he poses no danger of doxxing for stalking.

== Wikifur works with Google Glass! ==

Well, kinda... Pair on test loan from a friend who is a Glassware developer, working on a project that will integrate the glasses net "Search" function with a Wiki Fandom DB search app ([[Wikifur]], [http://fanlore.org/wiki/Main_Page Fanlore], [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_Wiki TARDIS.wikia], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Wookieepedia], etc,...).

Getting pass the Dorkage factor of having to slightly look up and say "Okay, Glass" every bloody time you wish to query, it works. =) "Okay, Glass, Wikifur, Califur" does bring up a (somewhat still on beta display territory) result card (a screenshot should go here, but the API still bugged), with very basic (emphasis "basic") information displayed. [[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]] comes up nice (Logo on upper right, good), but querying [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]] brings up [[Fur Affinity: United]] and vice versa, [[Fur Affinity]] brings up [[FurFright]], [[Furmeet]] brings [[FurMagic]]... (see the pattern yet?).

There will be a (future) option of taking a picture, and upload it to the pertinent Wiki's article (a test shot of some [[Fursuiter]] friends attending [[Califur]] to his test wiki's [[fursuit]] article worked, #@$#! license input needs work "GNU!, gNu, Ganu?, genooo,..."). Cool device, too ^.^

==Replacing multiple instances of one phrase with another==
[http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Special:ReplaceText ReplaceText] might be faster than doing it individually.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 13:09, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
:Actually doing so. There were 800+ pages needed to be changed, so I checked the Special pages directories for the option. But if I didn't knew about, I would have been an appreciated tip. Thanks =) - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 13:20, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

== Unsure about "Cleanup" ==

Yeah, I'm not to sure what is wrong with my page, i know I don't have too many sources, but all this is coming from me and my mind, how can i even source that? -[[Cole Cherno]]

:A little bit fractured, for one. You have your biography segmented and mixed with your fandom history. Bring your real life Biography up first, then your Fandom involvement next (which includes your [[Fursona]]), followed by your skills, as a suggested start. There is times when too much media (images) will encroach on the article (you have to decide how much is truly needed to illustrated/inform graphically your article). And as always, the [[Help:Furry Book of Style|Furry Book of Style]] is your friend for formatting solutions - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 02:40, 9 June 2013 (EDT)

== Smirre ==

Could you help me out a little? I know the text was somewhat subjective, but I was hoping someone could fix it (rather than deleting the whole thing). Also, I apparently forgot to check all links while not logged in, which ones were members only?

Regarding the references, how should one handle references in languages other than English? Maybe add a translation? Excluding all non-English sources does not seem like the best of solutions.

[[Special:Contributions/5.150.238.249|5.150.238.249]] 05:25, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

:Oops, sorry. Looks like some cache somewhere is acting up; it looked like you had reverted my edit. Anyway, do you have any tips for when there are only non-english references?
:[[Special:Contributions/5.150.238.249|5.150.238.249]] 17:07, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

::Sorry to get back late back to you (RL), but it seems that somebody has already filled in the reference vacancies, including the members-only one (which was/is the very first one on the article). As for the translation of reference links, Google has a built-in translator, Safari offers [http://sidetree.com/extensions/Translate_changes.html Extensions], and Firefox [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/google-translator-for-firefox/ Plug-ins], so it is not (almost) an issue. The screenshots (were the use of them as valid reference is still being debated here) were a total beast altogether, as there is no way to translate an image.

::No, the NPOV issue is that it still reads as "an opinion" more than "a fact", and it goes a long way in the article (more than one third) to simply point out that he has social issues with people in a single furry site: Example: Why would an admin's ([[Ricadonna]]) dislike with this individual '''prior''' to joining [[Sveafur]] be listed as an "issue" on [[Smirre]]'s article? (he has no control what other people think of him). The two imaginary friends... Why bring it up?. As long it did not impact a Sveafur directly (financially, emotionally, physically), a personal quirk is not really historical data. The subjects that people found "irritating"": Unless, again, it involved somebody personally, why parade the particular subjects out? (reference links are normally enough to highlight the issue).

::Deaths threats. Now this should be noted, specially if done "''On numerous occasions''" on the site against (presumably more than one) Swedish fur. But there is only one listed instance, and "''what would legally be regarded as threatening to kill people''" is an opinion based loaded phrase... And so on and on. Just an FYI on this point - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 00:23, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

:::Trying to paint a "complete" picture, and doing so without being too biased. Hard work, thanks for your input.

:::There are things that I don't think could be fitted into the article while keeping a neutral point of view. For instance he has posted papers from the Swedish social services saying he has problems with, among lots of other things, paranoia. When he changed his mind and wanted to un-post them he said that "Anonymous" had hacked his computer and posted them, and later confessed that he had done it.

:::Now, as I said, I want to make the whole picture clear, and his paranoia and needing 24/7 assistance are surely some key elements describing a part of his personality. The only sources for this are the aforementioned papers, which are only available as images, in Swedish, which is another reason why it can't be included.

:::As to why I've written about SveaFur in particular, it is for a number of reasons. He has been there for a long time and stirred up a lot of feelings, they had to ban him as a measure to keep the forums alive, and that's where most sources are. Of course he has been at other communities as well. I will se if I can find someone who knows more of his activities elsewhere.

== Could->May and minus Bolding in Disambiguation pages edits (June 2013) ==

The edits in process are being done automatically, as per prior discussions regarding these format changes on disambiguation pages. These changes have been done by hand slowly (still are) for the lasts few weeks, but I'm turbo-editing through, so this is just an FYI so it doesn't surprise anyone.

New to the format of these pages is '''alphabetization''' (it seems), and the addiction of '''sections''' (prior discussions), which will be done by hand (no way to automate these tasks). Again, just a heads-up on what's going on - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:04, 25 June 2013 (EDT)

Hey Spirou. I noticed in [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?diff=413258&oldid=413257&rcid=466793 this edit], you just gave "revert" as an edit summary. While useful to know, we can already see that from the diff. What we can't get from that is an understanding of ''why'' you reverted it. Something like like "revert because ..." (or a pointer to an explanation on the discussion page) would have been helpful. Otherwise, there's really no reason for the original editor not to "revert" back! :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:18, 6 September 2013 (EDT)

:I had put down the reason why, put the iPad's IOS 6 "autocomplete" just puts in the first "remembered" "Revert" in memory. I noticed the change just after I hit "Save page". I was going to correct/add lengthier Why to the Revert on the user's talk page (he/she seems to be fixated in that particular section no matter how many times is edited ["Revert. [[Verne]] is '''not''' a [[W:deuteragonist|deuteragonist]], nor is [[Hammy]] a [[W:tritagonist|tritagonist]]), neither in the film or the,...etc]), but I had to take off to drop off some job files (just came back, now explaining the terse "Revert").

:::Without a mouse?. A pain; you can, but you have to tap on the section or word juuust right; not above, not below, not one character left/right, not the whole article, or it just simply refuses to highlight it (try to insert a paragraph without arrow keys and your big finger covering the area you are trying to edit). And those small buttons don't make it easy to work with articles (on my iPhone is an exercise of dexterity and utter frustration. Not much on Android that I'm a fan off, but able to change the keyboard size in most of their devices, built and app, is something IOS truly needs). - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:11, 6 September 2013 (EDT)

== Cytag ==

Hello,

First of all I would like to thank you for your free time and devotion in updating this article.
Unfortunately before I will continue your most excellent work that did not need any talk page justification, I will have to ask a few questions:

Which part of 'forum went offline' is not clear to you. The term offline is a general term used for quite a while to indicate a server, page
or in this case, forum, is no longer available. Maybe there is a page I can link to? In case extra explanation is needed for those lesser known
with these complicated terms.

You ask for citations and sources, linked in other sections of the article. Some even in the previous sentence. I understand not everybody
has the time to read the entire article, or sometimes it is simply difficult to use big words. I will try my best to lower the bar a little, avoiding
difficult terms to make your life a bit easier. After all, we are all people who are trying to make this fine website a better place.

I understand your request for additional sources, unfortunately many of the elements present in this article concern internal processes of
a youth center that closed a while ago. I can list additional furry websites, but I am not sure if they will remain there, for these is no
definitive source for you other than my own. If you please, I can make a history section on my own page (dutchfurs.com) on your request.

If these matters are resolved, I have a small wealth of information in my personal archives, including pictures and scanned articles
but unfortunately they lack the external sources you require, perhaps after your permission I can enrich the article properly and perfect
it to your impeccable standards.

With regards,

Pegla {{unsigned|Pegla}}

== Speedy Deletion rejection ==

Hello, I'm the original author for the [[Freakman]] entry at es.wikifur. The original article was deleted due to lack of notability and irrlevance to the Colombian fandom (it can't even be determined if the subject is Colombian). The entry at en.wikifur was just translated from es.wikifur, dead links and all. I know notability is not an important issue at WikiFur, but this entry has unverifiable information and lacks the necessary information in order to provide correct information regarding the Colombian fandom and to even exist in WikiFur in my opinion.[[Special:Contributions/181.51.207.87|181.51.207.87]] 00:52, 31 December 2013 (EST)

Hello, I am requesting the removal of the page for Colby (I am him).

I was hoping that a professional [[curator]] would see my page and edit it to standard, and I can't thank you enough for doing so. Cool name BTW! Also, DJ Blondfox is the correct spelling without the Umlaut over the O. It is the new standard for spelling my stage-name as it transfers better across platforms and is more easily searchable. Thanks for your time, and have an awesome day you awesome person! --[[User:Richardlindsey|Richard Lindsey]] 14:32, 19 January 2014 (EST)
:No problem. I did add the spelling version of the name back in, in case a user searches for you using that written format. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 18:50, 19 January 2014 (EST)

== templates for link/social media status? ==

Are there templates for broken links and inactive/hidden accounts?
[[User:BigotedSJW|BigotedSJW]] 16:28, 21 January 2014 (EST)
:No, there is not. And please abstain from POV comments like "''Prayers for Wan and those he has hurt''". Edits should be impartial and neutral in nature, not a soapbox to express a loaded comment. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 16:34, 21 January 2014 (EST)
:: Will abstain if I continue to be active here... Was originally going to make my small edit behind a dynamic (mobile) IP, expecting that to be my only edit here. However given sobering stats wrt male on female harassment/abuse, eh... loaded may not be the right word. "The truth isn't mean, it's the truth" ... never a good idea to assume multiple accusers are lying about pain/discomfort in the name of NPOV, as doing so leans dangerously toward victim blaming.

'''Adam Wan''', also known as '''Zaush''', is an [[furry artist|artist]] who, according to his website, creates "fan art, illustrations and original work mainly based in a manga style."

Adam was born in 1983, and resides in  California<ref name="dA-profile">[http://zaush.deviantart.com/ Zaush profile page on deviantART]. (Retrieved 2008 April 29)</ref>; he was mated and resided with fellow artist [[Keovi]] until April 2010. After the break-up he took a short sabbatical from artistic pursuits until late August 2010.

Wan is the chief organizer/founder of the furry archive [[Furplz]], which split off from [[Arcturus]]'s own art archive project, [[ArtPlz]], and was [[Guest of Honour]] for [[Megaplex 7]] in 2008.

== Citras ==

Adam Wan is best known for the creation of the fictitious, [[fox]]-like species, the [[citra]]s.

== Future animated project ==

Wan announced on his [[Fur Affinity]] site that he is working on a traditionally-animated full-length film featuring [[Kineta]], his most popular female character.<ref>http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/262113/ Journal entry announcing Adam Wan's Animated Film Project.</ref>

The film will feature [[human]]s as well as [[anthropomorphic]] animals and is, in Wan's words:
{{q|Something of a [[sci-fi]] action drama set in the distant future, in a remote colony in the mountains of Russia.}}
Of the film's content he says it will contain "action, violence, nudity, and a few sex scenes." He says the film will most likely be distributed through the Internet as its potential [[wikipedia:MPAA|MPAA]] (Motion Picture Association of America) rating, NC-17, will be too restrictive to get it shown in theaters since most, if not all, movie theater chains have policies not allowing NC-17 or even unrated movies.

== Miscellaneous facts ==

In February 2007, Adam Wan put up an auction on [[FurBid-SF]] for a digital commission, 8.5" by 11" at 300dpi, two characters with a colored background. The winning bid was $2001.<ref>[http://www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/auction/item.pl?item=27262 Adam Wan - Digital Commission]. Standard auction on [[FurBid-SF]] in Category: Commissions - Mature Audience.
