==[[FurryFaire]]==
Sorry about the 'blanking', I was removing old information before I dropped in a bunch of new information. I thought I'd have the time to update everything before it got reverted, and seeing the old information back confused me. (I wanted to make the page more organized). Hope you like the clean up. :) [[User:Kit Foxtrot|Tashiro]] 03:04, 1 September 2007 (UTC) (Head Wiz of FurryFaire)

== Malamute ==

There is a fur named Malamute. He hangs out in #theden on Anthrochat.
 I think that redirect should be removed.

:If you feel that you can contribute on this page, [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Malamute&action=edit do so]. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 06:48, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
:Reiterating what Rat just said, I would also like to point out that all links regarding Malamutes refer to the Alaskan Malamute which is a breed of dog. So the redirect towards dog. It would probably be wise to put up a disambig page.--[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 09:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

The image [[:Image:Taurenwarrior ink.jpg]] needs copyright status resolved, same as previous images that need it. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 22:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

==What do I do?==
A great many of these articles are getting deleted, or already got deleted, or are getting shredded to pieces constantly on the real Wikipedia, which is why I moved them here. Am I not supposed to do that? [[User:Timmy the Tigress|Timmy the Tigress]] 03:55, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
:Just understand that the same is likely going to happen here. Many of this have only the loosest ties to the furry fandom and may not be appropriate for a wiki about the furry fandom.--[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 03:57, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
:: **Sad** I guess the huge anti-furry purge that's going on at Wikipedia now is going to win, then. There's some real hatemongering going on there. Oh, well. Maybe you won't delete a few of my articles and then I'll have saved that many. Is there any other Wiki that might take furry-themed articles so I could move them there? [[User:Timmy the Tigress|Timmy the Tigress]] 04:05, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
:::This is the furry wiki. Don't worry. Many won't be allout deleted, but expect a lot to be trimmed for furry relevancy.--[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 04:07, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

== FurNation ==
The reference page link you added to the FurNation article doesn't go anywhere, it just redirects to the main category list. --[[User:FuzzWolf|FuzzWolf]] 18:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

== Image rights and descriptions ==

Please don't upload images without a description indicating where they come from, or without selecting what license they are being included in WikiFur under. We can't just grab random images off the internet and say "hey, it's cool, we're an encyclopedia".

==[[Llama]]==
Look up "lame" in the dictionary. --[[User:Hyenorse|Hyenorse]] 02:24, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
:I did and I also looked up [[Wikipedia:Llama_%28computer_culture%29|Llama (computer culture)]]. If you think you could make this article better, go ahead. --[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 04:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
::I don't care enough, but the order is incorrect. You have the word "lamer" coming from "llama". --[[User:Hyenorse|Hyenorse]] 02:35, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Omaha The Cat Dancer

[[Image:Omaha The Cat Dancer 1.jpg|right|thumb|''Omaha the Cat Dancer'' vol. 1 #1, featuring the principal characters, Charles Tabey Jr. and Omaha.]]
'''''Omaha The Cat Dancer''''' was a highly acclaimed and controversial [[furry]] comic book created and drawn by [[Reed Waller]] and predominantly written by [[Kate Worley]]. Its first episode was published in ''[[Vootie]]'' #8 as the response to [[Taral Wayne]]'s question to Waller: "why isn't there more sex in [[funny animal]]s?"

It featured the adventures of Omaha (her last name is never given), a feline exotic dancer, and her lover Chuck Tabey, who turns out to be the heir to Charles Tabey, Sr., a powerful but mentally ill millionaire.

This comic was one of the first major furry series to use an existing non-furry genre called "slice of life", in which the furry nature of the characters is mostly a cosmetic artistic style for realistic stories anchored in contemporary human society. The furry nature is usually restricted to animals' heads, [[fur]] colour, and [[tail]]s. The environment is indistinguishable from the real world, and all characters have [[human]]oid body shapes and wear regular [[clothing]] (but [[Free paws|no shoes]]).

Omaha was written like a sexually explicit soap opera in plot structure and melodrama. It was highly praised for its writing, especially for its confident [[wikipedia:feminist|feminist]] sensibility. However, unlike the stereotyped stance, the series refused to flatly condemn erotic entertainment with the lead character usually enjoying her work and preferring it to other careers. For example, when she was once working in a clerical setting, she felt humiliated and belittled with the sexist management enough to quit in defiance and then immediately successfully auditioned at the local strip club.

The series drew considerable controversy with numerous obscenity charges for its sexual content. The Toronto police department, in one raid of a comic book store, charged that it depicted [[bestiality]], an accusation fans dismissed as ludicrous. By contrast, the New Zealand government committee charged with examining books for their suitability for admission into the country ruled that the series was suitable for all ages because of its mature depiction of relationships and sexuality.

==Publishing history==
The comic had an erratic publishing history aggravated by a serious accident suffered by Worley and the resulting poor medical care for it. In addition, Waller developed cancer, prompting two fundraising comics titled ''Images of Omaha'', published by Kitchen Sink Press in 1992 but further interfering with publication.

Additionally, there was growing friction between the partners (Waller and Worley had married) which culminated in a violent incident at a convention. After that, the team disbanded and the comic ceased publication.

In early 2004, Waller and Worley had moved beyond their disagreement, and were collaborating to finish the hanging storyline. However, Worley's death interrupted that work. Her widower, [[Wikipedia:Jim Vance|Jim Vance]], using her notes, took her place. The title has been picked up by NBM Publishing, and resumed publication in November 2005 in the magazine ''Sizzle'', as well as bringing back into print new trade paperback collections of the comics.

However, its influence is noted in the furry comic book scene with ''[[Shanda the Panda]]'' being the most successful series to emulate ''Omaha'' in many respects.
