I would appreciate it if someone would review the recent changes to The Dragon Empire wikifur (as suggested by the cleanup notations) so that I can know if I am following the correct standards? I'm fairly new to wikis and would like to ensure I am doing this correctly before I go any further.

== Preview ==

When making multiple edits to an article, please use the "Show preview" button to view intermediate changes, and try to limit use of the "Save page" button to when you are finished making all of your changes. Frequent use of "Save page" during editing tends to clutter the article's edit history and the site's change log. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:03, 22 December 2012 (EST)

I apologize for the multiple edits to the article, I am just learning how the edits are done and shall strive to adhere to the more standard practice of editing. I am a bit confused on edits requested. I am reading through your suggested notations to try to adhere to the wikifur standards. - [[User:Imperial|Imperial]] 02:23, 23 December 2012 (MST)

I read through the suggested section (Furry Book of Style) and hope the editing, formatting and context is now more in line with wikifur's style and standards. - [[User:Imperial|Imperial]] 04:43, 23 December 2012 (MST)

== Furry Hall of Fame ==

Umm, I think they're the same thing . . . the one currently at "USA" was created in Australia (MiDFur is in Melbourne) and has to date only been announced at that convention - although its chairman has travelled to award it. [[ALAA]] has a [http://www.flayrah.com/4318/alaa-hall-fame-inaugurated-rainfurrest-2012 separate Hall of Fame] (which should probably be covered under its topic). Indeed, CynWolfe would probably object rather strongly to it being described as "US based" given how much has been spent on it solely by Australians. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 23:08, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

:Didn't know about this award myself until some Midfur staff members and Australians artists working on it (i.e. [[Paul Kidd]]), found out about the ALAA's counterpart (and indicated that they were not one and the same). As per the Australian people in contact right know, the Furry Hall of Fame is an Australian event held every year at Midfur still (with set nominees scheduled for their Dec awards). Nobody (so far) have told them that ALAA as taken over the overall duties of the (general) Furry Hall of Fame, surprising enough to them specially since some of the winners and appointees were discussing next years (2013) Midfur awards.

:(Late Skype correction): This came about because somebody '''did''' inquired what was going on, and was told by ALAA that it (the original Australian awards) should be more of worldwide event like the [[Ursa Major Awards]]. When she stated that the Ursa Major awards were only held in continental US' cons, she received no further reply. As somebody just stated, "the MidFur organisers are extremely hurt and bewildered by it all of this", and to contact Pete S. (you know who). So far there 13 people involve in the Australian ceremony online (Skype, FA notes, emails), and asked me to put up the Aussie version up, as, so far, they are under the auspices that these are two, parallel running awards.

:Let me change last comment. No, they are contacting other members, and they surprised or confused. Either this is a mix-up or a total breakdown on communications. They will be taking care of internal connections, they asked me to contact Mr. Pete S.,... If you can help on this,...

:Just making an article, Green, as more often than not a bouncy betty.

:Late in: No, is nothing new, being going on for a few months it seems, something about the Dorsai's controversy and how US cons deal or don't deal with things (?) brought this back to the discussion arena, and I was asked to create an article to differentiate (Some know me for who I'm). Now everybody is, well... Anyways... - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:58, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

::There ''are'' two parallel running awards . . . but only as of the end of September, when the [[ALAA Hall of Fame]] was announced. The differences between the two awards are spelt out by Fred in the linked Flayrah article.
::{{q|The purpose of the ALAA Hall of Fame is to honor the creators and “stars” of anthropomorphism. The purpose of the Furry Hall of Fame is to honor the creators and “stars” of Furry Fandom. There is no overlap, and the two awards should not be mistaken for each other}}
::The only one called "[[Furry Hall of Fame]]" is the Australian one, so it should be at that title. The ALAA Hall of Fame might be worth a hatnote on that article, for anyone who comes looking for it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 00:10, 1 November 2012 (EDT)
:::Alright, to help the people that are now watching me do this while talking on them from Australia i Skype (keep it down!), there is '''then''' the Australian, 2007 Midfur created/held [[Furry Hall of Fame]] honors the creators and “stars” of [[Furry Fandom]], while the September 2012 USA announced [[ALAA Hall of Fame]] honors the creators and “stars” of [[anthropomorphism]].
