Chainroaker

2006-02-19T16:13:30Z

Calamitas:

'''Chainroaker''' is the collective name of a bunch of different [[webcomic]]s by the swedish cartoonists [[Sandra Kjellström]] and [[Leon Stekla]]. The name "chainroaker" is an englification of the swedish word "Kedjerökare" which means chain smoker.

----

'''Chainroaker''' kicked off with the [[comic]] '''"The importance of wearing boots"''', published on a .tk website. The story was about the [[furry]] characters [[Frenzee]] and [[Sondel]], an odd couple who shared an appartment and made their money from slaughtering neighbours and other annoying people and sell the meat to the unsuspecting man at the local meat store. One day [[Frenzee]] finds a pair of nice boots on the feet of a murdered punk kid. He adopts them , an undertaking that makes him and [[Sondel]] accused of having murdered the kid. '''The Boots''' kept on for about two chapters before it was aborted and about the same time '''Chainroaker on a Budget''' was launched.

----

'''Chainroaker On A Budget''' or '''CHROAB''' is a [[comic strip]], launched on the 15th of June 2003, which only ambition was to update every day, no matter how bad the drawings, or poor the jokes were. The characters were drawn as [[stick figures]] and the gags were mostly of the pee and poop-oriented (or in other ways gross) kind. The authors themselves describe the comic as ''"childish, a tad tasteless and probbably preeeetty stupid."''

The he main characters of the strip are the authors' both [[fursona]]s, [[Lyx av Sthlm]] and [[Frenzee]]. The comic is about these characters going about their daily buissness ''"which means jumping off cliffs in boxes and poking Santa's balls"''. Reappearing characters are the [[Pubeduck]], the Killer Muffin and Onion Head. Chainroaker has also featured a number of guest artists and characters through the time.

2005 the first CHROAB [[fanzine]] was created, featuring a handful of selected strips (some original, others redrawn). Chainroaker on a Budget 1 was presented and sold at the Swedish Small Press Expo in Stockholm.

CHROAB kept on 'til the 24th of November 2005. The autors have since then taken a break from the strip to concentrate on more serious projects.

----

'''The Uber Super Chainroaker Project'''

What's currently going on in the Chainroaker factory is still a bit of a secret. According to the website the authors have picked up the setting of '''The Importance of Wearing Boots''' and are working on a longer Chainroaker story with quality drawings and a thought out story. The status of the project is not announced.

== Hi! *fluufff* ==

thanks for the greetings! i am already active on (mostly german) wikipedia, and i plan to add more entries about furscape and the austrian furries here. this is great!

[[User:Unci|Unci]] 08:56, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:Glad to have you! It's always good to have contributors who already know about MediaWiki. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 05:35, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

Thanks for fixing my entry. Still a bit of a noob when it comes to wiki entries, etc. :) H.

:No problemo. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 05:26, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== Zobeid ==

Thanks for moving my article! I saw that my name had been linked from the SPR article, so that was really what set me off on the long story about the goings-on there. It really does belong on a page of its own, and I will try to fill in the general article with more neutral (i.e. less anecdotal) information. I'm also glad to see a lot of information about Furscape MUCK has been filled in.

: If you are not comfortable with being linked from SPR, remove the link. I put myself into that story as my traces still appear to be omnipresent there six years after I left. As for Furscape, we already have one new player who found us thanks to the entry here on the first day of its presence - feel free to add anything that you like! [[User:Unci|Unci]] 19:20, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== Images ==

Hi Green! Seems I'm not able to add images on the character descs, why? Where do i go wrong? O.o Here's a try:
[[Image: http://www.vixine.com/designyellow/images/character_bios/Scyra.jpg]]

See? ^^* There is something I can't get, sorry...

:I'm not Green (well in my heart I am, but that's a different story), but you can't inline external images. Instead you can upload the file (see the "Upload file" function on the left) and then use the [[Image:Filename]] function. - [[User:Unci|Unci]] 11:13, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:Like Unci said - you need to [[Special:Upload|upload]] it, and then you can link it as on other pages. We had problems with externally-linked images almost immediately, so decided it was best to disable that feature. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 15:04, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== Explicit or not??!! ==

Reaper?!: I am in a pissed off mood, that like it or not I am on the verge of hating and officially quitting Wikifur once and for all. And you had better beware of that! >:( Upon finding EXPLICIT images (whose warnings come rather too little too damn late) of rabbit character Sasha, by that porn bastard Jeremy Bernal. In that article, the attempt to protect those who'd be offended is a bullshit loophole. Why the hell could the images not be HIDDEN via links only, with fair warning notes too?! Please consider that option.

I am warning you because I will only give you ONE LAST CHANCE to hide ANY explicit images, especially that Sasha character. Because if you do not, then I will want all info about yours truly DELETED AND GONE, because it is a privilege Wikifur will otherwise NEVER AGAIN deserve, and you will LOSE future additions of opportunities. Think about that, because I do not tolerate any unacceptable loopholes. Thank you for understanding, because my trusting you is in extreme jeopardy.

If we can make a deal here, please let me know and E-mail me at jmalecki@rogers.com. Thank you

Yours truly,
Jamie Malecki.

:Because we are an encyclopedia, [[WikiFur:What_WikiFur_is_not#WikiFur_is_not_censored_for_the_protection_of_minors| WikiFur is not censored for the protection of minors]] and may contain some content which some people may consider offensive. I'll leave GR, to answer this further but I believe the short answer is that we don't hide such images any more than Wikipedia do. Also, as far as I'm aware, the article about yourself has already been locked. --[[User:Nidonocu|Nidonocu]] - [[User talk:Nidonocu|talk]] [[Image:Trans 168.png|16px|Nidonocu]] 22:03, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:I am sorry that you feel that way, Jamie, but ''I'' personally feel your edits as of late have shown that your beliefs do not align with those of this community. These are outlined - fairly clearly, I hope - in [[WikiFur:What WikiFur is]] and [[WikiFur:What WikiFur is not]].

:One of the things that WikiFur is ''not'' is a place that is censored for minors (or for any other group). Specifically, protecting people from being offended is not a particular concern of WikiFur. This has been pointed out several times on [[User talk:70.24.132.223|your talk page]]. The simple reason that I would present for this is that the furry fandom is, ultimately, mostly composed of adults, and some topics cannot avoid covering adult material without being the lesser for it. The grounds for inclusion of images is as for any other content - its appropriateness to the topic concerned, not the morals of the individuals that might read it.

:It has become clear that you do not agree with this, and it seems from your ultimatim that you are not interested in convincing us that this is a bad policy through debate. That being the case, it may well be best if you do discontinue editing here, at least for now, as I would not wish to have a fellow contributor who does not agree with the ideals of this site.

:As to trying to "make a deal" with me, I think you misunderstand WikiFur. This is a community site - and is ultimately run by the consensus of the community, not by me. If you wished to "deal", you should have engaged the community on the discussion pages for the articles concerned and tried to convince them that your edits were the right thing to do. Instead, you made [http://furry.wikicities.com/index.php?title=Sasha&diff=prev&oldid=19600 edits like this]. Surely you can see how such actions only weaken your standing here, where respect is due to the quality of contributions to the site? The use of terms like "porn bastard" don't help your case, either. :-)

:Regarding your statements about information about you - freedom of speech is a right, not a privilege, as others have found out. You do not legally have the right to force the removal of true information about yourself. Moreover, when you submit information to WikiFur, you are licensing your work for free use and editing by all - even if at a later date you wish otherwise. The notice under the edit box is fairly clear about this.

:Nevertheless, out of respect for your wishes and according to existing WikiFur policies, I have blanked the page with personal information about you. If at a later date you change your mind and wish it unblanked, you are free to contact me or any other administrator to do so. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 02:40, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== Not a big deal, but... ==

How come Wikifur still have 'Wikipedia' in all its page titles? Many other wikis here at Wikicities have its own name up there - perhaps Wikifur should too? ;) --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 17:16, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:I'm really not sure what you're talking about - could you clarify? Here it says "WikiFur" in page titles (along the caption of the window), not Wikipedia. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 02:34, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)

::Heh... I probably should've tested it with another browser before bringing it up - it seems like there's only an issue with Opera. Although I have no idea why it happens, it's certainly not an err on your part... maybe I should inquire them (Opera's developers) about this. --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 09:00, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:::After having at the user preferences a little, I found out what it was that caused the issue - and it's not at all a problem with the browser... it's the 'Norsk (bokmål)' language setting! That seems to be the only one (or one of very few) that's got this particular quirk; perhaps ''Wikia'' is to be contacted instead? :) --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 10:41, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)

::::Yes, language settings do odd things. When I set it to German, "Community Central" is called "WikiFur-Portal", and the link to the livejournal is called "Aktuelle Ereignisse" (= Current events). I wonder whether this can be adjusted for all languages? Note also that [[WikiFur:Site support]] (also a link in the left menu) is empty, perhaps it could be filled with some information about how one can support the site. - [[User:Unci|Unci]] 12:24, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:::::The issue is that there are separate copies of the MediaWiki: namespace for each language. It is necessary to edit them for each language. The pages are accessible via [[Special:Allmessages]]. You can also edit them by adding the language code prefix to the subpage, e.g. [[MediaWiki:Currentevents/de]].

:::::Unci and MKerris, I have given you administrator access - could you try changing the german ones (and any other languages you know) where appropriate? The pages that have changed in the english version are [http://furry.wikicities.com/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=8 here]. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 20:00, 12 Nov 2005 (UTC)

::::::Thanks a lot - I could try to improve a little on the Scandinavian versions at the least. --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 01:41, 13 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:::::::Great! :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 02:25, 13 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== Thanks ==
:Thanks! I'm excited to join the team and hope to be a aid to the community as a whole. I took on a big project pretty early to my Wiki career, the [What is Furry?] artical. Myself and Giza are undecided as to wether or not the sexual nature of being furry should be included on this page. Some discussion between me and him carried over from the discussion page on the artical itself. It boils down to the impact of drawing potentially harmful attention to the fandom through the sexual aspect. Your thoughts? --[[User:Omnibahumut|Omnibahumut]] 06:19, 16 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:Hey, thanks for the welcome. Sorry this reply is a bit delayed; I tend to procrastinate a lot. ... Mainly because I keep getting to this point in my reply and hitting writer's block about what to say next, then I get frustrated, and decide I'll do it later... I'm just going to leave it at "Thanks for the welcome" for now. Hopefully I'll be more verbose later on. [[User:KaloFoxfire|KaloFoxfire]] 17:35, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

== Please remove entry in its entirety ==
(removed to be sent privately)

== Email required ==

I am writing on behalf of a small number of parties who wish to have information deleted from the "WikiFur" in it's entirety. We wish to be provided with a direct email address, as we do not wish to:

1) Post requests on a public-viewable board
2) create a "login" for the site.

Please send an email address for any administrator who can remove entries in their entirety and make modifications to others to: delfromwikifur@yahoo.com

:Hi there! Welcome to WikiFur. :-)

:You probably want to talk to me. The link to my email is in the toolbox at the left, but to make it simple I've copied this message to the address given.

:Before you email, you should know a few things:
* I will treat your emails with a measure of confidence, if that is what you desire. I ''may'' share some details with the fellow [[WikiFur:Administrators|administrators]] who I trust not to spread said details beyond that group, depending on the circumstances.
* I will do things that are provided for by our [[WikiFur:Policies and guidelines|policies]], and particularly our [[WikiFur:Personal information|personal information policy]] (which is the main generally accepted grounds for removing information) unless I have a really good reason for not doing so, in which case I will explain why that is. Note that this pertains both to information that we will remove and information that we will not remove.
* Please understand that things may take a certain amount of time, and trying to rush it (especially with legal threats, which we've had before) will not help you achieve your goals more quickly. I, personally, intend to attend [[Midwest FurFest]] this Friday and weekend, but that's not the main reason, which is . . .
* This is a community wiki. Not mine, nor that of any other contributor. My decisions are not final. Consensus is the byword here. It may take some time - and, yes, discussion - to reach it.
* If your requests pertain to personal details, I will want to have some reasonable assurance that the person actually requested such actions, or other evidence that the person's wishes are as you say they are. It was fairly simple to confirm that the most recent request was "likely in intent", but others might not be. This is one reason why concerned persons might wish to contact me directly.

:Honestly, I think you are misguided in not posting publicly, as ultimately all actions on WikiFur are public and contentious ones ''will'' require explanation, or they will be reverted - if not by myself, then by others. I'm willing to lay your case for removal of material on your behalf, but by choosing to forgo a personal request from named people, you lose the basic respect that goes with asking for yourself. Given that most information is removed due to such respect, that is an important thing to consider. I am not willing to make quick and silent removals on behalf of people that I do not know, or for reasons that I do not agree with. You will have to convince the community that it is the right thing to do.

:That said, I await your email. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 03:23, 17 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== Bowman's Wolf,... ==

Actually, that was one of the articles I entered in Wikifur. It wasn't vandalism, just vandalized,... <=( [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:27, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:Yipe! Sorry, restored. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 04:29, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)

::No problem, Thank you very much =) [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:31, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)

::Welcome back, GR... :) [[User:CarlFox|Carl Fox]] 05:06, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:::Thanks! I'll be letting people know about my trip, since it relates (somewhat) to WikiFur. :-)

:::By the way . . . if there ever happens to be an ugly red link on the main page, you guys ''can'' fill it. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 05:09, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)

::::Consider it done, O Fearless Leader. :) [[User:CarlFox|Carl Fox]] 05:36, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== Thanksgiving ==

Oddly enough, I had one of those forehead-slapping moments yesterday when I realized that I can take my work laptop with me when I go traveling for Thanksgiving. So I'll end up having some connectivity during the holiday after all and will be able to keep an eye on things here. --[[User:Dmuth|Dmuth]] 15:03, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:Great! I should be around as well . . . and I'm sure we'll have a lot of visitors from people who actually have time to read the leaflets they picked up at MFF. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 14:50, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== Criteria for protecting/excluding a personal page ==

Is the text found in [[Lifeforce|this article]] enough to make conclusions as for the action of protecting and excluding? Or would the person need to contact an admin by e-mail or IM? Just wondering, as I'm kinda new to situations like this. :) --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 19:18, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:I'm just going to delete that for now. It looks like someone out to cause trouble. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 19:33, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== WikiFur "Shoutbox"? ==

What if we were to create a general purpose talk page, where users could simply ask questions that could be answered by any other visiting user without having to think of who or where in particular to ask? A link to creating a new thread on this page would be given out in the welcome messages, for immediate access by new users.

However, I'm not really sure how good this would work out in practice, though - it could be overused/vandalized to no end for all I know. But still, it would be great to have a clearly defined way to reach the most possible users on this Wiki at any given time. --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 03:34, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:There's already such areas on Wikipedia, so there is precedent for how to do it: [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Help_desk|Wikipedia:Help_desk]] for questions on using Wikis and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Reference_desk|Wikipedia:Reference_desk]] for asking factual questions. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 01:38, 4 Dec 2005 (UTC)

::Hmm. Interesting ideas. I'll have to take a look at those. Sorry for not responding earlier, MKerris - I missed this! :-/ --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 02:03, 4 Dec 2005 (UTC)

:::No worries, GR... to keep track on everything at all times can be quite taxing at best. Thanks to both of you for looking into this; it would be a nice and helpful feature to have, imo. :) --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 02:43, 4 Dec 2005 (UTC)

::This thing suddenly came up on my mind again, and I decided that I could just as well try my hand at it - after all, it doesn't have to be nearly as complex as the forum system at Wikipedia. Perhaps only one such page would be enough, where any type of question could be asked, regardless of matter? Makes it as newbie-friendly as possible, which tends to be a good thing most of the time.

::In any case; what do you (or anyone) think would be a suitable name for such a page? I was thinking of maybe the ''Oracle'', or perhaps something as cheesy as the ''Refurence Desk'', but there are bound to be way better names out there..! :) --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 20:38, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

:::Sphinx's Lair? Or some other creature known for wisdom/puzzles/gregariousness... -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 21:15, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

::::Hmm, that's definitely worth considering... Not that I have anything against sphinxes, but I'll try pondering about with some other creatures to see what the alternatives could be. --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 08:03, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)

:::I think I'll just be calling it the [[WikiFur:Help_Desk|Help Desk]] for now, and put the name ideas on its [[WikiFur_talk:Help_Desk|talk page]] to relieve GR's page from any future additions. It's not meant as an official poll or anything (rather merely a list), but feel free to comment on them as you like. We could still turn this into a full-fledged poll later, if needed. --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 09:01, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Might want to put that page on [[WikiFur:Community_Central]] somewhere, so people can learn that it's about and start to use it instead of this page. -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 19:35, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that it is indeed the same person...and that I am indeed an idiot. Let me know iffen you'd like to delete either one - I'm more than happy with either name, myself.

(Will promise to stop being dumb)

:Well, if you still have the same email address (and put that address in when registering) then you can ask to have the password sent to you via the login page . . . --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 07:31, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)

::Hmm...well, I do have the passwords to both, I just wasn't sure if you'd wanna get rid of one since both names are registered to me and I dun honestly need both. I won't complain 'bout it...I just dun want it to be an inconvenience or anything.

:::Ahh. No, don't worry about it (I'm not sure we can delete accounts, in fact - you'd probably have to ask jasonr at wikia dot com) - just use whichever one you prefer from now on. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 08:23, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)

::::Okay, that's fine with me - no worrie sin that case. I'll just use this one, then...thanks for the help!

== Novels / Stories / Fiction ==

I'm question whether the division between [[:Category:Novels]] and [[:Category:Stories]] is the best approach to take. Currently, the convention is that if it's commercialy published, it goes in Novels, and if it's web published only, it goes in Stories. A third category, [[:Category:Fiction]], seems to be mostly redundant with the other two (and has had a merge template for over a month). More than once, contributors have put stories in the wrong category. Some of the entries in Stories are short stories, and at least one current article in Novels is for an anthology. Maybe we should have categories for short stories, or for multi-book series.

Is there a better way to organize/subcategorize stories and such? I think we can figure out a workable system while it would still require recategorizing no more than a couple dozen articles. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 16:29, 27 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:If no one objects, I'm going to delete [[:Category:Fiction]] in a couple of days (after checking and if necessary recategorizing all the articles in it). --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:51, 29 Nov 2005 (UTC)

::Yipe, I missed this - sorry! Umm. Not sure I have a better answer, though. It's always hard to categorize this sort of gradual change from one to another. Perhaps [[:Category:Fiction]] should be a super-category of both? --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 03:08, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)

:::Okay, a question then. Should we maintain the category distinction between web fiction and published fiction?
:::If the answer is no, then I propose we make Fiction the primary category. Subcategories of it would include Novels, Short fiction, Story series, and Anthologies. Most works of fiction should fall into one of these four. No category distinction between commercially vs. web published. How does that sound? --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:38, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)

::::I agree - fiction is fiction, and it really shouldn't matter for categorization purposes whether it was published in paper or not, commercially or not (though it should of course be noted in the article). --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 19:00, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Reorg done. [[:Category:Stories]] is now basically obsolete, with most of the articles spread among [[:Category:Novels]], [[:Category:Short stories]], and [[:Category:Story series]]. [[:Category:Fiction]] is now used as a higher-level category for these and other fiction-related subcategories. I'm not familiar with some of the stories I had to recat (both the ones with articles and the "To add" lists), so anyone who reads this, please look them over and if you see something in the wrong category, please feel free to move it to the correct one. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 21:44, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)

== Welcome ==

Thanks for the warm welcome! It's really [[User:Nidonocu|Nidonocu]]'s fault that I'm here. Still getting used to everything though. :) --[[User:Graafen Blackpaw|Graafen Blackpaw]]

:Yes, whenever something goes right on this site, I know who to blame - Nidonocu, or one of our other [[WikiFur:Administrators|administrators]]. Yet they keep doing it! '''*sigh*''' --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 08:48, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)

== Thanks for the welcome! ==

I'll just take a moment and thank you for the warm welcome. It's much appreciated.
From what I've seen, this community is a good one, congratulations on creating something so successful.
--[[User:Quotingmungo|quoting_mungo]] 07:50, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)

:You're welcome! I'm glad that WikiFur is a success, but honestly, anyone could have founded it given the great response we've got from the community; I just happened to be the person who decided to start the ball rolling. As the good [[Wikipedia:Dr. Strangelove|Dr. Strangelove]] almost said, the technology required is easily within the means of even the smallest furry fan - it required only the ''will'' to do so. And, heck, I couldn't think of anything better to do with my evenings. ;-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 08:48, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)

== Link to the wiki? ==

Hey GR, I was just quoting WikiFur in a post on LJ and I tried to link to [http://furry.wikicities.com/wiki http://furry.wikicities.com/wiki], however as you can see that 404's unless you include the trailling /! Could you speak to those at Wikicities to see if they could fix this little bug for us? ^_^; --[[User:Nidonocu|Nidonocu]] - [[User talk:Nidonocu|talk]] [[Image:Trans 168.png|16px|Nidonocu]] 10:56, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)

:It's not really a bug . . . you just pointed at the wrong page. I don't think automatic redirection works with /wiki, which is special to start with and not really a "real" directory, but I'll ask. For now I would recommend you edit the post or repost if it's a comment. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 15:44, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)

== Australia Furries ==

I was just wandering what events furs can have in Australia, it seems all the action is at america or canada, i just wanted to know if there was anything on here *hugs* im new to the sight, saw a chance and took it to ask. *snuggles* please reply. --[[User:Furrywolf|Furrywolf]]

:The only one I know of is [[MiDFur]] - the "Melbourne in December furmeet". I would suggest asking about it in [[Ozfurs]]. Further furry information about Australia can be found in the [[:Category:Australia|Australia category]]. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 23:49, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)

I agree with having a category for body parts, but may I suggest calling it [[:Category:Anatomy terms]] instead? --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 06:29, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

:That sounds like a good idea. I just figured I'd put something there as a reminder. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 06:42, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

== Getting started... ==

Hey, thanks for the message.

At least I'd be productive and do something for the furdom ^^

== Front page problem ==

Someone seems to have messed with making a template fixed-width, and now Furry Central spreads itself one and a half screens wide at 1024x768 on IE 6. -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 03:44, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)

:It doesn't seem to be doing that here - does it persist after a refresh? Could it be misreading the Pokemon World MUCK "picture"? --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 17:13, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

::That was it all along. There seems to be a persistent problem with those things in my browser. -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 19:27, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

== Requiring Assistance ==

As you are the lead administrator of Wikifur, I feel you may e able to answer my question. While not Wikifur related, I think you still may be able to help me.
I am the current leader of Wikisimpsons (the founder never edited} and I am trying to create the logo. But every time I upload the one I want or revert to the proper one, it remains as the default. Can you help me please?--[[User:M Johnson|M Johnson]] 09:36, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Please ignore the above message. I've finally got it working.--[[User:M Johnson|M Johnson]] 10:10, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)

== Say... ==

...perhaps we should implement the Improvement Drive soon, as you previously mentioned something about [http://www.livejournal.com/community/wikifur/15364.html here]? As we're getting fewer and fewer new articles lately, it's probably about time to start refurbishing the older ones a bit. Maybe we could use this feature to let the long-time "wanted" pages into the highlight as well? Just a thought, anyways. ;)

In my opinion about its placement, though: I don't think we could really call it a "drive" if we were to put it on the community central, as it sadly doesn't get as many hits as one should hope (although things could probably be done to improve on this). How about leaving some space above the ''Did you know?'' section on the front page for this purpose? You would have to scroll down a bit more to be able to read the full ''Upcoming events'' list, but that would be a rather small sacrifice in my eyes.

Any thoughts/ideas? --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 22:31, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)

:That sounds like a good idea. For the purpose of evenness at the top, I think it would be better to put it '''beneath''' the ''Did you know?'' section, though. I have just the colour to make sure it gets read . . . and just the name, too! *evil grin* --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 04:14, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

::Nice choice of name, if I dare say - another step towards making WikiFur a little more visibly genuine (if we could just figure out a fitting name for the Community Central already! *''Edit: Oops, I recently found out that the voting had been concluded over two months ago, and that Community Central was actually the name that won. Never mind this, then''*) :)

== Long-term security of WikiFur ==

Heya GreenReaper.

As an occasional contributor, I was just wondering about the long-term security for Wikifur. I notice that we are part of wikicities.com, and was just wondering if we have backups of our database so that if wikicities were to ever go under, the Wiki can continue to be hosted elsewhere.

The reason I bring this up is I've seen several communities die because the hosting site went under and no backups were available of the data.

I'm sure others will want to know what the situation is after reading my question as well. Enlighten us?

Thanks, and keep up the great work on this site.

-[[User:Zorin|Zorin]]

:WikiCities says that they do offsite backups, and Wikis themselves can be backed up [http://www.wikicities.com/wiki/Database_download with this script]. The issue has been raised before, and I occasionally do backups onto my machine at home. --[[User:Dmuth|Dmuth]] 17:40, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

:Well, technically they're not offsite, though it would only really be a problem if the colocation facility burned down. Fortunately, as Dmuth mentioned, the backups that Wikicities makes are available to everyone, and you are very welcome to download copies of them for any purpose that is within the bounds of the [[WikiFur:Copyrights|site copyright]]. I will make a note of this on [[WikiFur:About]], as it ''is'' something that comes up now and again (usually whenever an experienced system administrator joins the site :-). --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 18:49, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

::Wow, that's pretty awesome. All it takes is a couple of backup-conscious admins to like Wikifur and we have lots of offsite backups. Pretty neat! --[[User:Zorin|Zorin]] 19:12, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

== question on posting fur meet info on community pages ==

GR, got a quick community-ish question regarding the page on [[Sacfurs]]. Since we have weekly (or so) meets, and our website is occasionally down, would it be okay to mirror the latest sacfurs.com event listings (say a paragraph or so for the most recent) on the [[Sacfurs]] page, so in case of server trouble, people won't miss out?

Also, thanks for the wiki formatting changes on my user page -- i'm still getting used to it. it's quite different from html.

:Obviously, I'm not GR, so I can't speak for him. But, we do have a [[Template:Upcoming_events|upcoming events]] page on this Wiki, as well as informational pages for several [[conventions]], so I don't see how it would be a major problem to list a schedule for the Sacfurs meets. --[[User:Dmuth|Dmuth]] 22:10, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)

:Indeed. Go right ahead! We're not exactly going to run out of space anytime soon, especially with the new servers on the way. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 02:29, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

== Re: redirect from Footboy ==

Hi there, and welcome to WikiFur! I noticed [http://furry.wikicities.com/index.php?title=Footboy&curid=822&diff=0&oldid=26625&rcid=36127 this edit], but the edit summary wasn't particularly enlightning to me - could you let me know what the issue was with the redirect? --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 09:43, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)

:I'm Footboy. I severed the redirect on that page because someone advised against directly linking my forum name to my furry one. Unfortunately I don't know how to delete the Footboy page entirely. Sorry for the confusion. ^^

::Ah, OK. Well, if that is your request, and there's no pressing historical reason to link the name, I don't see a problem with getting rid of that. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 07:18, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

== Recent changes oddity ==

May I ask why all the recent edits have red exclamation points beside them? -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 19:12, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

:(Not GR, but...) I'm guessing it's an artifact of the upgrading process. Not sure if they're done with us or not - let me check around and see what I can find. --[[User:DuncanDaHusky|Duncan da Husky]] 19:17, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

:It's because we're [[Special:Version|now on MediaWiki 1.5.5]]. They're edits that haven't been "marked as patrolled". --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 19:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

== Question about defacing? ==

Hello,
How are you? (: I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm running into a little problem with two forum trolls who seem to have a "thing" for stalking me online. Several times so far they defaced my user page (although the effects weren't up for very long -- Great job moderators! (: ) and there seems to be no end to it.

I find it funny that they spent OVER an hour writing stupid 6th grade crap like "OMG, U GAY FURRY!!1" (although I'm not gay -- lol), yet the moderators can revert my page with two clicks. While it's fun to point and laugh at these people who pollute our gene pool, I fear that it's going to become a hassle for the moderators after a while.

Is there anything I can do to "lock" the page so that only I can edit it? I'm guessing not, since that somewhat defeats the purpose of a Wiki.

The problem is that these users have eather floating IPs or use a program to make random IP address, so banning their IPs is almost pointless.

Thank you for your time. (:

[[User:Taren|Taren]]

:Hi there - I'm good, thanks!

:As you might expect, our administrators (and regular users) are used to trolls - they typically get bored and move on or forget about it after a few days once they realise nothing they do will have a lasting impact. All the IPs have now been warned on their talk pages; judging by a few previous edits, they are not all proxy IPs.

:It ''is'' possible (through an evil hack) to make it so that pages are only editable by one user and by administrators - see [[WikiFur:Personal information]] for more info, and [[Crassus]] for an example. We prefer to avoid that where possible, for the reason you described, but it is an option. Let me know if you feel that it is one you wish to take. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 05:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

== Problem with Wikifur home page ==

Er, hi. I was browsing the index page, and clicked on the Popular Pages link, and that led me to an error page which said 'You have requested an invalid special page, a list of valid special pages may be found at Special:Specialpages.' I'm unsure of why this happens; there is no mention of a Popular Page in the Special Pages list. Is this a Wikicities bug? Thanks! [[User:Kitsune Sniper|Kitsune Sniper]] 20:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

:Confirmed. The page [[Special:Popularpages]] seems to be 404. --[[User:Dmuth|Dmuth]] 21:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

::That's an odd one. It shows up as blue so you'd think it would work. Probably something to do with the upgrade, or the miser mode enabled beforehand. I'll ask. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 22:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

== Welcome and comics ==

Hi there, Ricardo, and welcome to WikiFur! Thanks for telling us a little about yourself and your works. Let me know if you need any help not already provided. :-) --GreenReaper(talk) 04:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

:Hi there GreenReaper. I´m glad i make my way to WikiFur through Fur Affinity link. I´m not having any problem creating my pages and I hope you don´t mind it.

::I'm glad you did, too! You are welcome to create the pages about you and the things that you have done (and other things, if you know about them :-).

:I saw some people I know in here and I thought I could have my name in it too. And I internal-link some of my pages such as [[Balls of Furr]] and [[No One´s Land]]. I´m still finishing [[Moon Bunnies]] and [[Bound to be Friends]]. But I have a question: how can I post my comic strips in here too?

::Hmm. Do you mean posting all of them, or individual strips? WikiFur isn't really a comic hosting site (it describes comics and contains examples, but not the whole thing), but if you have them hosted elsewhere it may be possible to link to them in some fashion, if you think that would help. I notice you have already uploaded sample pictures for several of them (which is good!).

:There´s this [[WikiFur:Comic of the Week|Comic of the Week]] thing that I find interesting. I have lots of strips ready to post and I´m in the making of more yet.

:Thanks! --[[User:Rcanheta|Rcanheta]]

::Yes - the Comic of the Week (recently added) is intended to highlight a particular comic and the article about it. It is basically the "Featured article", but just for comics, because we have so many of them. It is based on both how many nominations it gets (if any) and how good the article about the comic is. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 09:23, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

== Thanks for Darrel Exline ==

Thanks for the work on [[Darrel Exline]]. He deserved a longer article but for various reasons I felt that I could not do him justice. [[drew kitty]]

:You're welcome. It's still not perfect, because I don't know the guy and I'm sure he's done other things worth recording, but perhaps it's better to start it off by writing the more "difficult" parts from that perspective. All I really did was look at the material available to me and summarize how it looked overall to me. Sometime's that's what's required. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 03:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

== SAfurs topic vs Furnet IRC ==

http://furry.wikicities.com/wiki/Something_Awful#.23safurs

This article isn't objective. It looks like pure furry drama more than good information. I call for your opinion please. --[[User:Ozone Griffox|Ozone Griffox]]

:WikiFur is not intended for the continuation of incidents of furry drama, but when it is relevant to a topic, I '''do''' think it is appropriate to ''record'' such incidents. It is my understanding that the foundation of an [[Anthrochat|entire IRC network]] was due to actions related to this. Drama can be very notable when it changes the course of history. Of course, doing so objectively is the tricky part, especially when everyone involved has strong opinions, as is usually the case with drama.

:I'll take a closer look at these articles when I get back online later tonight - I'm not a member of either server, so hopefully I can rewrite things without inadvertently favouring one side or another. If you have any references that you know about that you think might be relevant to the articles, they'd be welcome. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 01:07, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

----

Exemples of what *I* consider non-objective:

* ''They organized an attack on a channel on FurNet called #dragon_yiff.''
This happens everyday on big IRC networks. And I know they organized attacks on more than just this channel. why not change this to "They organized various attacks on FurNet channels"

* ''The users, however, when everything calmed down, blamed it on Sibe.''
I translate this to "The users are stupid and, ahah, blamed the wrong person". I would remove this sentence completly.

* ''Much to the disturbance of SA forum regulars, Sibe under an alias on an account purchased by JJcoolJ and several other furries began to post their collections of furry porn there.''
I would remove this sentence. Sibe is a regular and really, who care about the actions of him specifically. Is he special? (you can answer yes, but no)

* ''Sibe and several of the furries participating in the furry concentration camp were later banned for being a nuisance.''
"Several of the furries participating in the furry concentration camp were later banned for being a nuisance."

'''The whole #safurs heading'''

* ''In late 2003/early 2004, Snowpony, an administrator of FurNet deemed Jazzy unstable and therefore unable to keep administrating his channel. Forcibly, ownership was passed on to Bobby (aka Squnq). After getting bored, Bobby passed the channel on to Verix.''
This is not the truth, or it is '''at least''' overly exagerated. Snowpony was just doing her job as part of the Furnet Administrator group. You can't name her specifically, and you can't claim she deemed Jazzy unstable. This whole sentence is wrong.

* ''Snowpony began monitoring the channel by idling and logging.''
Again, this is her work as part of the administrator group. You can't name her specifically: "FurNet Administration began monitoring the channel".

* ''Believing that Snowpony was out of line with her actions, in a rather infamous display of quitting her administrative job of FurNet, turned the tables and akilled Snowpony.''
Actually, Simba '''tried''' to remove Snowpony by showing evidence of a few abuse. The result of this action was two weeks of proofs and argumentation by the goons. Two weeks ignored by FurNet's administration. After those two weeks, The FurNet administration published the new ''FurNet code of conduct''. The goons, seeing their action to havoc FurNet failed, and under the new ''code of conduct'' left the place forever.

The whole #safurs heading looks like a fight to justify some goon actions against FurNet. Snowpony was the administrator who took the problem in care, it doesn't mean she is responsible. Her actions was to be considered as an administrator. FurNet's administration solved the problem, by writing the ''Furnet code of conduct''.

This whole heading is highly non-objective.
--[[User:Ozone Griffox|Ozone Griffox]] 02:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

----

Thanks for your notes. I'm sorry I didn't get around to this earlier, but I'm not sure it would have done much good - it seems to be a rather convoluted situation, and it's getting awfully late, here. Fortunately, on a wiki there is always more time. :-)

I am not sure that I agree that Snowpony's actions were entirely under the heading of "FurNet administration actions". I've been looking over [http://www.cimeris.com/~simba/furnet/situation.html this page] and [http://www.cimeris.com/~simba/furnet/ related documents], as well as a few [http://nothingkat.com/confession/snowpony.htm other] [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.furry/browse_frm/thread/c11a9c29324698dc sources] covering the views of both "sides" (and none, just people disappointed that the split occurred). Yes, I'm aware that the first in particular is biased towards making a point. However, they do show direct quotes from Snowpony herself describing actions that she took on her own initiative and which had not previously been discussed with the rest of the admin team.

My own view is that at the server operator level, administrators are personally responsible for their actions. If someone does something that I thought was wrong here, I would call them on it, probably publicly, and I would expect others to do so (as I expect it to be done for my own edits - fortunately I tend to have a good idea of what's acceptable to others so I don't get called on stuff ''too'' often). Apparently this is Snowpony's as well:
<pre>
I do accept the responsibility of my actions
and will endeavor in future to fully address
the administration before undertaking unique
action such as has been listed here.</pre>

This is in direct reference to her actions in #safurs. The section should certainly be rephrased, at least - for example, "forcibly passed to Bobby" makes him look like someone she selected personally, when in fact she took a vote. Still, it was "unique", and it was '''her''' call, not a group call. She took the credit from those who thought it was a good idea, and the blame from those who did not.

Of course, several members of #safurs did do incredibly stupid things that I would have been tempted to ban for myself. But then I control a corporate IRC server, not a public IRC network, and I am expected to take an active hand in channel disputes (except for one channel set for a separate websites, which has its own administration that asks me for help occasionally).

I also agree that topics are public and reflect upon a network. The people creating #AryanFurs were looking for trouble. I wouldn't want to encourage that. Nor do I think that Simba was blameless when ''he'' was key in creating that channel. I think he should have recognized that when you are on a network, you should not get personally involved in such things. On the other hand, they were his friends, and I think the #VCL thing was silly, too - again, was an IRCOp looking for things to do. To me, this sort of action suggests a [[MeatBall:GodKing|GodKing]] situation (or Queen, I guess).

I (like quite a few of the newsgroup posters) think that ultimately the main problem here was that there were few written policies, nobody on the admin team appears to have had much of an interest in getting any together (which resulted in things festering and turning it into a direct personal conflict between Simba and Snowpony), and as a result there appears to have been (in general) a lack of agreement on policy, perhaps because nobody felt they were in a position to create it - or didn't feel it was necessary, until it was too late. It may be that Snowpony herself took action because she felt that the admin system was non-responsive to problems - but was that because nobody cared/had enough time to do anything, or because nobody felt it was a good idea, but didn't care enough to comment? It seems there was about a 50/50 split at the end, but who really knows if nobody talked about it beforehand?

Even on a wiki there are a need for written policies that are understood to be the consensus of the group, which is why I took the time to [[WikiFur:Policies and guidelines|write a few]] early on (once we'd figured out what that consensus was). I guess the irony is that the policies did get written for FurNet after all . . . it's just a shame that it took a permanent netsplit before it happened.

This is a key piece of furry IRC history, but it relates to several articles and so putting it in any one of them seems inappropriate. I therefore propose a '''separate''' article is created to describe the situations leading up to and following the server split - in fact, as that is the important thing, it might be the right title, something like [[2004 FurNet/Anthrochat split]]. This will (hopefully) reduce bias from people who feel they have to edit it towards the point of view of the current pages, or that it is overly biasing those pages, as well as reduce redundancy of information.

I intend to move this discussion from these user talk pages to the appropriate article talk page at the point that it is created (leaving a link), so people can see where we came from. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 10:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

== Image copyrights ==

Hello! I recently transwikied from [[wikipedia:user:Admrboltz|wikipedia]], and am an active image patroler (for copyright/sources) and would like to impliment something similar. I have seen very little use of the copyright tags, or sources, and soem new tags need to be created, such as some of your "wikifur" only images... ideas? --[[User:RBoltz|RBoltz]] <small>([[User talk:RBoltz|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/RBoltz|C]])</small> 07:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

:Hi there, and welcome to WikiFur! It's good to see more people coming over to visit - and great when they decide to stick around. You're welcome to try imposing some order on image uploading - as with elsewhere, '''be bold'''! :-)

:That said, we have a few differences with the kinds of images (and their uses) that are normally uploaded here which I should probably outline:

:Many images uploaded are what I'd call "standard" fair use cases, such as comic covers or panels, and logos or (in a few cases) mascots that are intended to represent the group or site concerned. Typically these are only used on the appropriate pages, and have tags asserting the fair use.

:Another popular image type is character portraits, either of popular fictional characters or [[fursona]]s. These are generally uploaded with the permission of someone (or should be :-). Often people upload artwork of their characters that they have commissioned from other people. Generally accepted practice in the [[furry fandom]] is to allow the non-profit display of such images on the web in association with a character at the commissioner's discretion, as long as no further copyright permissions are involved (such as the right to sell prints). It's nice to link to the actual creator, and many people do give the name of the person they commissioned it from as part of the description.

:WikiFur does not currently require images to be uploaded under any particular license. The default that ''I'' would assume for images that are not marked specifically is "you can use it on this site but not elsewhere," and personally I'm fine with that. There have been suggestions of publishing some portion of WikiFur in paper form, and that might require more detailed information on sources (and perhaps permissions or licenses), but that is very much a ''secondary'' consideration. Of course, a lot of the images concerned are associated with articles about people, which would be less likely to make the cut anyway.

:Clear violations of copyright are generally rare (most often, they occur during vandalism). We do get the occasional question of whether someone has the right to upload an image. Typically I ask them, and if they can't be contacted quickly, the creator (if apparent). I can't remember anyone saying "no" yet once they were told what the site was, although it's only come up a few times. We have had one recent case of the author of an image claiming copyright infringement. It was pretty clear that this was the case, and so I removed it myself.

:So, where is this leading? We should probably have something like "this is the character of Y, drawn by X, uploaded with Y's permission". We could probably do with importing a few more of Wikipedia's tags - I've only done the ones I use. And whatever we do, we need to make sure that it doesn't discourage people who just found WikiFur and want to upload a picture of their character (or any other work) to make their first wiki page look nice. We're a relatively small site looking to expand, and so we have to try to accomodate users more than they accommodate us.

:In a nutshell - tagging and sourcing is good, but the objective is to find and document reasons why we should ''keep'' images where possible, not why we should be deleting them. "With permission" images are welcome. It's a little different from Wikipedia, but then we're [[WikiFur:What WikiFur is not#WikiFur is not Wikipedia|not really trying to be the same]] - at least not in all ways. :-)

:I'm sorry if the above is a little incoherent, but it's 6 AM here and I'm about to go to bed. Let me know if you have any more questions or if I didn't answer you properly! --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 10:56, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

== Anthrocon's room block ==

I don't think it's smaller than last year (I don't have the exact numbers, as Kage handles the hotel stuff, so I ''could'' be wrong), but I do know for a fact (as also stated in the linked to post) that it's filling up faster than in previous years. Just wanted to point that out. :-)

On the subject of a room party, maybe we should put up a survey closer to the con, asking who would attend? --[[User:Dmuth|Dmuth]] 18:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

:Hmm. Lessee - the Wydham Franklin Plaza has 757 rooms, of which some unknown percentage were rented out due to prior commitments. The Westin Pittsburgh Convention center has 616 rooms, all but a few of which will be used by Anthrocon. I'd guess that there's probably a slightly smaller room block this year, but the difference is likely negligible - a few dozen, perhaps.
:As for a room party, I'll be glad to stop by and slouch bonelessly in a corner and try not to fall asleep :-) --[[User:DuncanDaHusky|Duncan da Husky]] 18:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

:I was given to understand that the room block was smaller because of the rushed move, but I could be wrong - I guess if Anthrocon did actually manage to book those days then it would have the full use of the rooms (as you'd expect for a convention hotel). I had trouble booking for the 14th myself, and I had a good time at MFF just arriving on the first morning, so I went for arrive 15th - depart 18th. I figured it was better to have WikiFur users get into the main hotel as I learnt at MFF that it can be a bit of a hassle going to and from overflows (though admittedly that was across a freezing parking lot ;-).

:The survey does sound like a good idea, perhaps a month or so before so there's time to organize anything that people ask for. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 20:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

::Going from memory (again), we had somewhere around 500 rooms in our block at the Wyndham. Something about going to them with only a few months notice due to the Adam's Mark closing, and all that. I don't know offhand what the size is at the Westin.

::Regarding getting ALL the rooms in the hotel, I don't think that's EVER happened in our history. Even at the Adam's Mark in 2004, there were a few dozen guest rooms and one function room that were already "spoken for" when we wanted to have our con.

::Regarding your issues making reservations, if it was recently, doubles sold out on the night of the 14th (Wednesday). Hotels only have so many different types of each room (and each convention there has different demands, of course), so stuff like that happens.

::Yes, I am particularly scared that the hotel is filling up ''this'' early. o.O

::--[[User:Dmuth|Dmuth]] 20:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

:::Well, I was going for a King size, but it seemed I couldn't get one of those either for the whole time. I'm fine coming in during the morning, though - gives me time to wake up (and it's more money that I can put towards the fandom rather than the convention support industry).

:::And yes, I don't think you need to be worried about not filling your room block this year. Seems like it'll be a good year to go to AC! ;-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 20:52, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

::::Couldn't get a king size? That's interesting. Either ''those'' have sold out too(!), or the hotel is getting confused. That seems to happen to some degree every year, regardless of which hotel we deal with. --[[User:Dmuth|Dmuth]] 23:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::Perhaps there was a convention the previous day and they had taken the rooms for the day? I'm not sure why, either. Still, as long as nothing ''hugely'' essential starts before 12 or so, I should be fine. And if not - well, it's my fault for leaving it too late. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 03:42, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

== Regular updates ==

I haven't seen the "Did you know?" block change in several weeks, and the "new pages" listing is slow as well. Have we hit a plateau in new, interesting facts and pages? -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 04:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

:No, this is entirely my fault. I've been slacking on WikiFur (partially due to my work on [http://www.galciv2.com/ Galactic Civilizations 2] - but now that's over, so it's no excuse :-). I will try to update Did you know? more regularly, as well as the Featured article, which hasn't actually changed in weeks.

:Of course, if any of you notice any small collection of interesting tidbits, you are welcome to update it yourself. This is a wiki, after all. Some input over at [[WikiFur:Featured article candidates]] might be useful too.

:As for [[:Template:Newbar]], I have spent a few hours knocking together something to keep that updated automatically. I've run into a few problems actually getting the site to accept the input, but the theory is sound. I hope to get that running at some point "soon". --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 04:42, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

== Article removal ==

Please remove the articles including my real name.

-BBF
:The article with your real name has been deleted. I see that you removed your real name from your pseudonymous article, so that should take care of things.--[[User:DuncanDaHusky|Duncan da Husky]] 18:03, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

== Adding my name to the peoples' list ==

Well, the subject's pretty self-explanatory. Just wanted to add my name in the peoples' list just for the hell of it, but... doesn't look like i can do it right now. I did put my name in the "people to add" category, but. I even had content in the article about me.

Is this an issue that i have to wait for?

Cheers.

:To add an article to the people category, you need to put <nowiki>[[Category:People]]</nowiki> into the article. As you've noticed, we place such articles in the main namespace rather than the User namespace, which tends to be used for personal messages to viewers (first-person, e.g. [[User:GreenReaper]]) rather than a descriptiton of the person and their activities (third-person, e.g. [[GreenReaper]]). I've moved the [[User:Kitetsu]] page to [[Kitetsu]] to preserve the page history and added appropriate tags linking the two - you can edit the two of them separately for their separate purposes. Hope this helps!

:Also, are you [http://kitetsu.deviantart.com/ this kitetsu], or do you have another website? You might want to add such sites as a link in an External links section - placing the <nowiki>{{contributor}}</nowiki> tag just below the header tends to work well. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 17:03, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Ahaha, oh dear, you must have mistaken me for someone else entirely. No, I go by the DA username of "wrexodus". Thank you very much for the reply anyhow. I'll be sure to put these tags into good use.

Peace. --{{UT|Kitetsu}}

== Hello! ==

Yea, I noticed. I had to go to the sand box to make a new red link. I did however just finish a new article. [[Chainroaker]]. Thanks for the greeting! I've lurked this wiki for quite some time and thought I might just as well get myself an account. :)

Chainroaker

2006-02-19T16:05:07Z

Calamitas:

'''Chainroaker''' is the collective name of a bunch of different [[webcomic]]s by the swedish cartoonists [[Sandra Kjellström]] and [[Leon Stekla]]. The name "chainroaker" is an englification of the swedish word "Kedjerökare" which means chain smoker.

----

'''Chainroaker''' kicked off with the [[comic]] '''"The importance of wearing boots"''', published on a .tk website. The story was about the [[furry]] characters [[Frenzee]] and [[Sondel]], an odd couple who shared an appartment and made their money from slaughtering neighbours and other annoying people and sell the meat to the unsuspecting man at the local meat store. One day [[Frenzee]] finds a pair of nice boots on the feet of a murdered punk kid. He adopts them , an undertaking that makes him and [[Sondel]] accused of having murdered the kid. '''The Boots''' kept on for about two chapters before it was aborted and about the same time '''Chainroaker on a Budget''' was launched.

----

'''Chainroaker On A Budget''' or '''CHROAB''' is a [[comic strip]], launched on the 15th of June 2003, which only ambition was to update every day, no matter how bad the drawings, or poor the jokes were. The characters were drawn as [[stick figures]] and the gags were mostly of the pee and poop-oriented (or in other ways gross) kind. The authors themselves describe the comic as ''"childish, a tad tasteless and probbably preeeetty stupid."''

The he main characters of the strip are the authors' both [[fursona]]s, [[Lyx av Sthlm and Frenzee]]. The comic is about these characters going about their daily buissness ''"which means jumping off cliffs in boxes and poking Santa's balls"''. Reappearing characters are the [[Pubeduck]], the Killer Muffin and Onion Head. Chainroaker has also featured a number of guest artists and characters through the time.

2005 the first CHROAB [[fanzine]] was created, featuring a handful of selected strips (some original, others redrawn). Chainroaker on a Budget 1 was presented and sold at the Swedish Small Press Expo in Stockholm.

CHROAB kept on 'til the 24th of November 2005. The autors have since then taken a break from the strip to concentrate on more serious projects.

----

'''The Uber Super Chainroaker Project'''

What's currently going on in the Chainroaker factory is still a bit of a secret. According to the website the authors have picked up the setting of '''The Importance of Wearing Boots''' and are working on a longer Chainroaker story with quality drawings and a thought out story. The status of the project is not announced.

Heh, just tryin'a get used to this whole editing thing. Kinda tough being a newcomer hehe.

==Testing...==

I'm most likely doing this all wrong. ¦D Linkers to make [[The LP]]. It's my ego page! Hurrah!

==Kind of odd==

I spent about two minutes trying to remember how ot get to this sandbox to test something... and when I got here, I couldn't remember what it was I was going to test.

<math>\sqrt[\alpha]{\frac{\gamma \delta \Phi}{\alpha y \pi}}</math>

The PDA, or personal data assistant, is issued to all United Aerospace Corporate workers on Mars. It can send and receive emails, store information, and be used as a security card for certain levels of authorization. Some examples of these authorization levels include maintenance workers or specific people. All UAC employees are required to have their PDA on their person at all times.
