== Berios ==

Did you mean to leave [[Berios]] blank? Or should it be protected-excluded? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 20:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
:Protected-excluded, but Safari is not formating the post right. It shows as intended on preview, but not when I save it. If you could fix it I would appreciate it [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
::The user contacted me via IM and asked that his paged be removed, and that the link between his RL name and fursona/character be broken. I deleted the [[Berios]] page and protected-excluded his RL name. I'm not sure what the precedent is for this but as long as the link isn't immediately obvious I think we will have satisfied the request. [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 20:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Understood, But "Berios" (the name,) is a bit linked to the history of fandom, and deleting it outright would red-link possible present/future entries connections (attendances, contributions, etc...). That's why I undeleted it, killed the redirect to the person's name, and tried to "protect-excluded" (emphasis on "tried".)
:::Should be fined as long as his RL name is not connected to this alias in any article. [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

== Vorderman Post ==

Hi Spirou Can i please have some clarification if a factual event that happned at EF13 warents a post on wikifur. As southpaw is pretty adiment that it is not witin guidelines for Wikifur (Sorry My first article so its going to be a mess!)

Reasons that i think it deserved a post was that around 80% of the con actualy was into it at one point. The dance floor errupting and a few of the orginazers such as cheetah and uncle kage got in on the act. A lot of furrs have since asked "what was it all about" {{unsigned|WolfieUk|20:34, 12 September 2007 (UTC)}}

:No problem. As it stands, the entry is about a very localized, spur of the moment, event that, all thought occurring in a furry convention and propagated by furs, it (at this time,) doesn't stand out, or being furry common enough, to warrant it's own entry (vs something like [[Krystal can't enjoy her sandwich]], which, all though quick and new, it crossed all layers of furry fandom very quickly in a popular fashion with a lot of people, enough to be noteworthy.)

:It could be, instead of putting up to discuss its appropriateness as a standalone Wikifur article, merged as a section on the [[Eurofurence 13]] article, as Rat has already suggested to do [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

== Homestead? ==

Back in 2005 [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Whelpday&diff=20079&oldid=14810 one of your additions to Whelpday included “The Homestead”]. Was that Homestead a role-play section of alt.lifestyle.furry or the Homestead LJ? --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 22:20, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

The "Homestead" as [[Alt.lifestyle.furry|ALF]] is referred as sometimes =) [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

== User:74.15.21.167 ==

After reviewing the [[Special:Contributions/74.15.21.167|recent edits]] by this anonymous user, it is not obvious to me like they were acts of vandalism/bad faith. Questionable, perhaps, but possibly worthy of further discussion before taking action against this user. Are you familiar enough with the subject matter of the articles edited to be able to say otherwise? --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

:No, it wasn't actually the initial edits that made me reverse the changes, but the final two touches of taking out the contributor template ("uh?, why?",) and the little tweak on the Road Rover article (cute.) Not precisely nice final touches to try to seriously assert your prior arguments/edits [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 18:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

== Wiki-style Disagreement ==

I prefer dictionary-tabbing out segments versus making sub-segments, especially when the topics covered are short enough that they could be covered in a bulleted list (not to mention it causes that ugly Table Of Contents to show up, which is really unnecessary when we're discussing many short definitions). I consider it more 'wiki-like' in making sure the content is not obscured by needless details, and in this case your changes are the equivalent of a ten-pound parcel for a ten-ounce cargo.

I would really rather you leave my edits in that regard alone. I don't mind content being corrected, but the 'many small segments' appearance really bothers me, unless you intend on expanding each of the segments in [[How To Be a Furry]] out into sizable enough portions to be worth the alteration fairly soon. [[User:Jigsaw Forte|Jigsaw Forte]] 03:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

:Actually, it has nothing to do with the type of edit you prefer, instead of more on the formatting that Wikifur generally uses ([[Help:Furry_Book_of_Style]].) Not ribbing, or trying to get your goat, or, simply, "f**** with you," really, just following old formatting rules, which there are a few I also feel should be changed to be more pleasing looking. If you feel the type of format you're using could help enhance articles, please, do put the discussion forth =)

:In the mean time, no malice was intended with the formatting of the article [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Revert ==

Why did you revert [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=DrGamez&diff=166253&oldid=166215 this]? It's not really nice to have lots of unsourced rumors on an article about a real person. [[User:Hendrik18|Hendrik18]] 16:20, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

:Such list was not taken out, even when its user made edits to [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=DrGamez&direction=next&oldid=64175 it], which either means that (A) they were written by him or (B) he didn't have a problem with them. That's why the revert,...

:But, looking at it again, even if the reasons listed above are correct, this kind of fluff writing belongs in the contributor's user page, which does have the same [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/User:DrGamez list] anyways, so re-reverting to your edit after all [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 22:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

== My personal page ==

I respectfully request the future link 'Vampire' not be included (hence my removing it upon its addition the first time) as Queen Vampire is my title and my vampire mythos varies greatly from most the common ones found. They are a part of my history and those of my offspring. I do not want them lumped into the typical vampire definition. Please allow that removal. I also wonder why you have insisted on a future link regarding my home. It has no reason to be listed at all, and I do not want it listed now or in the future.

Yours sincerely,
Lady Tabyathe Foxhampton

:Wikipedia links are provided more information interesting information to potential reader to peruse, and it doesn't have to be really related, but if the biology, lore and history of your species is quite distinct from the established vampyr/vampire mythology, I will make sure it is not linked now, or in future edits.

:As for [[Fox Manor]], being a Wiki devoted to anything furry related, any information, names, or locales are open to be expanded into future articles to provide, once again, a more broader, varied and informative view of Furry. If you don't wish to expand on this matter/subject, I can delete the link format at your request [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:05, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

==Yo==
Consider this me contacting you personally, since I can't find an email. This is [[Colley]]. I don't want my personal information on my wikifur page. Please remove it.
You have access to my livejournal if you need to contact me and verify this.{{unsigned|12.219.171.207}}

== Why do you want [[Colley]] to be harassed? ==

I can't think of any other reason why you'd disregard [http://colley.livejournal.com/479346.html his own statements about what he approves on his page] but insist on putting his real name there against his wishes and subsequently protecting it. That's rather hostile of you.

:His real name will be removed [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:: Please also remove my name from drewkitty. If you insist on being tedious, please E-mail drewkitty@gmail.com and I will verify the removal. Otherwise I complain to other admins. 3 November 2007

::: The tone of your comment is unnecessary. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 01:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

:If he wanted his edits to be taken seriously, he should have made them under his own name and not have mixed them in with other edits adding stupidity to the page - no matter how much he "approves" of such edits. It is not reasonable to expect administrators to proactively check people's LiveJournals before reverting such nonsense. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 01:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== I need help ==

Excuse me Mr. Spirou, why are all the external article of the [[Butch]] series requesting to be merged, I would agree that this would be a good idea for this, but the Butch article isn't made to have all the information on it, it's made to be a directional page for the other articles, not all he information is there and it's incomplete. - [[User:McBowser|McBowser]] 02:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:Most webcomic articles have all the information that's currently fragmented across Wikifur under one entry (Comic, premise, characters, locations,...) In the current state, a reader would need to make several article jumps instead of finding all related information under one heading.

:As for length, currently all the articles related to this comic are under the "stub" size, so they could easily be assimilated under one entry. [[Sequential Art]] is an example of how to format a webcomic article for this Wiki - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:19, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

::But i did that because, i didn't get any kind of replys when made the last comment, and the only time when i did get a response is after i deleted the tags. i took off the merge tab because, the articles they arn't finished and all the informatin hasn't been placed there yet, i went to most of the articles here that talked about web-comics and the reason they merged together is becase there doesn't seem to be that much information on it, it just lloks a few paragraphs telling the main idea and some synopsis notes. - [[User:McBowser|McBowser]] 04:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

== drewkitty ==

I hate to be rude. You can see clearly in my user page that I prefer to separate my personal and professional life. Just so we're clear: http://drewkitty.livejournal.com/238637.html

You provide me with an E-mail address and I will send you a message to that effect. I note that *you* are anonymous. I note further in your user talk page that you have been slow to respond to other reasonable requests to delete real names.

Don't motivate me to break your anonymity or to involve other admins. -- drewkitty 3 November 2007 {{unsigned|drewkitty}}

:Please do not threaten our administrators when you are asking us to do you a favour. We are willing to work with you on information that you consider personal as long as you are willing to work with us. A confrontational tone is not necessary or helpful.

:Also, a clarification - a user page is "your page", while [[Drewkitty]] is "the page about you". This might seem like quibbling over terms, but the difference is important, as you can see from, say, [[User:Colley]] and [[Colley]]. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 01:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

:: Respecting the privacy of persons who are not celebrities is not a favor, but a basic expectation of running a public service. While I disagree with your characterization of my comment above, feeling that turnabout is indeed fair play, I appreciate your team's prompt action on this issue and consider this matter closed. drewkitty 3 November 2007 {{unsigned|drewkitty}}

:: "''You can see clearly in my user page that I prefer to separate my personal and professional life. Just so we're clear: http://drewkitty.livejournal.com/238637.html''" Actually, we can't see it clearly: "''Error. You are not authorized to view this protected entry.''" Just FYI - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 02:56, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

::: Once my identity had been clearly established, I locked the post. I wish I had saved the comment you posted to the IP I was using. Since I did not, I'll settle for expressing my satisfaction that this issue was promptly resolved. drewkitty 3 November 2007 {{unsigned|drewkitty}}
