Kiboe Motegi: /* wish to take the blank off */

:''Don't copy conversations from other pages to here. I will watch other pages if I add to their conversation.''

Hi there, Rat - welcome to WikiFur! Thanks for your contributions so far - let me know on my [[User talk:GreenReaper|user talk page]] if you need any [[help]] not already provided. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 07:28, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==hey==
i have an account, just forgot to login, whoops. --[[User:Chomperz|Chomperz]] 02:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

== Napping Cat's Dream ==

Hi, Rat...it's definitely Psychedelic '''A'''vatar, both capitalized. (My fuzzy alter-ego happens to be #326. :) [[User:CarlFox|Carl Fox]] 01:35, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Misinformation ==

I think [[User:24.20.194.136]] is adding misinformation (all the edits about North Star Kung Fu). -- [[User:Rat|Rat]] 09:51, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Yes, it does seem to have been a little odd. Someone trying to perpetuate an in-joke, I believe. Thanks for taking action. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 17:10, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Whoops . . . ==

Sorry! We can always make a [[Rat (notthatperson)]] if you want. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 04:19, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== New tabs ==

Welcome to [[WikiFur:Administrators]]! I noticed your recent reverts, and I thought it might be best to let you deal with that sort of thing yourself, if needed. You may notice a few new tabs along the top, and some other changes around the site in relation to user blocking, rollbacks and the like. I suggest you look over [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Administrators|this page]] if you're not familiar with how to use them. Hopefully you won't need them much, but they're there for when you do. Use them wisely! :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 05:43, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== "include" ==

Thanks for catching that. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 04:29, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== 10k edits ==

Thanks for giving your attention to the wiki - I'd like to recommend the 'preview' button, however. -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 15:11, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)

== Recent vandal ==

Thanks for catching that one. In that sort of situation (multiple page blanking or simple vandalism) you can add "&bot=1" to the URL of the user's contribution page and then reload the page with that URL. This will make it so that the contributions effectively disappear on recent changes when you roll them back (unless you look for them by turning bot actions on) and the only thing that appears is the ban. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 16:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

In response to Rat: Yes, there wasn't much of a point to it, more of a dare and being an on the whim action. I'm sure you can guess ''why'' it was done, with his background, though I agree it was rude and I apologize. --Nytwolf

== Recent vandal ==

Thanks for helping out with that spate of vandalism. Not sure what was up with that. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

==Article Illustrations ==

Hello. I noticed that you requested artists to create art to add to WikiFur articles. I wish to say that if you wish, you may let me know if there are any articles you think need art, and I will be glad to draw something for them. Also, if I do happen to see any unillustrated articles, may I notify you to show whether what I add is acceptable? I am not sure of what the guidelines are for art at this time; however, so I shall need to find that out. -- {{UT|Seamora}} 10:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

:Here are some suggestions. This is not an exclusive list, and if you find another article where you can contribute art that meets the requirements I set out are [[User:Rat]], that is still good.
:* [[Furry art]]
:* [[Chakat]]
:* [[Fox]]
:* <strike>[[Cheetah]]</strike>

:Yes, you may use my talk page to talk about your proposals for art.

:--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Could you expand on "Must be released under a license acceptable to the WikiFur community."? Is "Artist approves use of this image on WikiFur" such a license, for example? I was thinking we could do with such a tag, with a number of people uploading their own art but not explicitly releasing it in some other fashion. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

:That's a good question, and maybe we should have community input over what licenses are acceptable. The main thing is that since I'm collecting these images for WikiFur, is that WikiFur's permission to use them is explicit, not implicit. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 00:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

::Uploading them to WikiFur seems pretty explicit permission to me. <tt>;)</tt> -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

:::I think that a tag would be highly useful, something like <tt><nowiki>{{ArtBounty|ArticleName}}</nowiki></tt> which both put the artwork into a particular category and provide text linking to the bounty pages and the article page concerned.

:::As for the licensing, it might be a good idea to consider future applications of the images. For example, if we want to actually publish WikiFur articles in the future it makes sense to require a license that permits that, or have that be a specific term of the agreement. You could argue that this was implied in uploading the artwork, but you could also find that this didn't work out legally. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 06:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

:::If just uploading them is explicit permission, then getting them to express it in text form as well wouldn't hurt. And getting them to express it in text form also allows them to express conditions like whether they require to be attributed for their work, and whether their work can be used outside WikiFur. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 08:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

::::How does the wording on Image:Kdelany-grayfox.jpg look to you? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::I think it's okay. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 19:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::I just thought of one more thing. I'd want to make sure that the terms really are the will of the artist. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::Absolutely. Pick a method! -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 03:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::She's local, so I could just ask her. Is she claiming the bounty? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 04:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::::She contacted me and she is claiming the bounty. In my [[User:Rat#Rules|original rules]], Rule #1, is that the artist has to upload their own work, but I'll waive it this time to avoid silliness like the pictures getting deleted and re-uploaded. The pictures in question are:
:::::::* [[:Image:Kdelany-redfox.jpg]] for [[Red Fox]]
:::::::* [[:Image:Kdelany-grayfox.jpg]] for [[Gray Fox]]
:::::::* [[:Image:CheetahFaces.JPG]] for [[Cheetah]]
:::::::I therefore owe Katherine $30 Canadian, and she can contact me to collect her bounty.
:::::::--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 03:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

== Subcategories ==

As you saw, having someone into a subcategory doesn't keep them in the supercategory. I kinda assume that most forsuit makers are furusiters as well, although I guess technically this might not be the case. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

== Patrolled Edits ==

Since you're an admin, you can automatically mark edits that you make as patrolled. To do this, click "preferences" at the top, then under the "Editing" section, check "Mark edits I make as patrolled" --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 22:41, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
:Okay, thanks. I never noticed those "other pages" of options before - thank you for pointing that out. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 04:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

== Illustrations from Sugandya ==

Hello,
I just wanted to double check with you before I got started. From what I took, one could illustrate any article (save for stubs) that lacked an illustration. Is this so? For example, I picked [[Invertebrate]], [[Kemono]], [[Otherkin]], and [[Kitsune]]; none of which (at the time of this posting) have no images for themselves that are exclusive to Wikifur. I want to make sure I have it clear. :) {{unsigned|Sugandya}}
:Yes, that's correct. You could illustrate any of those.
::Hello again. I got around to producing and adding these two: [[Invertebrate]] and [[Kemono]] for now!--[[User:Sugandya|Sugandya]] 03:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Looks good. Use the "e-mail user" or other contact to get a hold of me in private. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 03:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
::::I tried to email you, but that link says no adress has been specified. {{unsigned|Sugandya}}
:::::Try now. I know I've had e-mails through it before; I don't konw how it got turned off. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 03:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

== Illustrations from [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] ==
RainRat, thanks for your generous offer. I have completed several illustrations for your approval. They are on the pages: [[Fursona]], [[Furgonomics]], [[Furry art]], and [[Draconid]]. Please let me know if any of these aren't up to specification. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 09:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
:Sorry RainRat, forgot to leave my contact information. Please e-mail me at devandalizer@gmail.com -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 09:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
:Those look like they meet the guidelines. I will contact you about payment. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 09:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
::I have recently created a few more illustrations. These are at [[Fox]] and [[Tiger]]. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 18:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Noted. The transfer to my Paypal account hasn't gone through yet, but I will send it to you when it does. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 20:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

== Deleting redirects ==

I would like to discuss deleting redirects. As deleted articles are still saved in the database, there is no need to do it to save disk space. In most cases there's no need to delete them. Even if there's no internal pages linking to it, there are still external links and maybe people who have it bookmarked. I don't disagree with all your deleted redirects.
Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Redirects_for_deletion#When_should_we_delete_a_redirect.3F|redirect policy]] may be a start for consideration.
--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

:I appreciate you letting me know. Could you be more specific about what concerns you, so I have a sense of what to continue doing and what to leave alone? My main concern has been with articles moved to correct capitalization. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

::Well, to pick a recent example there was [[Zassa of FurryMUCK]]. It was under that name for a long time, so one should leave a redirect so not to break external links and bookmarks. Moving articles to correct capitalization is good, but you don't have to delete the redirects from bad capitalization to good capitalization, so links aren't broken and articles are easy to find --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 05:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I admit, I hadn't considered external links, though I always check for internal ones. As for capitalization, I should have been clearer. I specifically refer to cases where the article was a proper name (a person, usually) and not capitalized as a proper name: John doe rather than John Doe. Similarly with typos and misspellings. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
::::If there's an external link to an incorrectly-capitalized page ie [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Snagger_outlaw], the wiki does not take them to the correct page unless there's a redirect. If a misspelling is common, I would keep a redirect from the incorrect to the correct, but if it's an unlikely typo, then yeah, delete it. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 06:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

== Added article illustrations for bounty ==

I've added a few more article illustrations:
* [[Eagle]]
* [[Foxtaur]]
* [[Red Panda]]
* [[Serval]]
-- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 01:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
:Confirmed. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 01:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
:I just thought of something else. One of the rules is "You must own or have permission to use any distinctive characters." You do have permission to use the characters in KDelany-JustinSix.JPG and KDelany-ShaterriAtRest.JPG right? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:03, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

== Extinctioners Characters ==

Hey Rat, I see you made some corrections to some of the Extinctioners Character pages, thanks, I appreciate your interest and improvements, what do you think of them by the way and do you have any suggestions? any additional character informations? please let me know what you think, thanks - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 20:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

:I really don't know that much about Extinctioners, having never read it. So I can't really comment on how well you covered the topic. I just corrected some obvious errors I came across. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 20:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

:PS. I was just [[WikiFur:Sandbox/References|experimenting]] with the references template. It may help keep extinctioners articles looking nice if you use this template. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 21:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

== [[RFAI]] ==

I decided to change this page as a Redirect to [[Raven Corr]] instead of deleting, so people would be sent from [[RFAI]] to the page where the information was moved to. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 22:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
:Sounds good. I didn't even think of setting it as a redirect. Thanks. ^^ [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 23:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

Hey Rat, RVDDP2501 here, Listen, thanks for the reversion on the my Sly page, just out of curiousity, what driving these people to go around and vandalize pages like this, I mean, this isn't right. I looked up other vandalisms this guy has done and I can't believe this, Myself and other Wikiusers put time and effort into making our article(s) and these guys just show up and take a Sledge Hammer to them, that just gets me riled up, let me know whats up, thanks - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 13:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey Rat, have the people responsible for the recent vandalism been banned? - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 01:40, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

:As far as I can see at the moment yes. I've been watching [[Special:Recentchanges]], and blocking as I see them. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 01:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

== Kendareru Neko-sama ==

Um, what kind of improvements are you looking for on the character's page? I'll try my best to bring it up to standards.
[[User:Kendareru|Kendareru Neko-sama]] 23:19, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
:I didn't add the cleanup tag; I just did some cleanup myself. My suggestion is look at some [[WikiFur:Featured_articles|featured articles]] and compare the style. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 07:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

== Protecting [[Furry]] ==

I see that you protected the article [[Furry]]. But I am confused by the comment in the protection log. Did you mean to unprotect the article? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 22:46, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
:I did unprotect the article; I just left it so that unregistered users couldn't move it, so it still says tht it's protected. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 22:50, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

::Reducing protection but not removing it registers as 'protected' in the log: [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=protect&user=&page=Furry]. ^_^ --[[w:User:Splarka|Splarka]] ([[w:User_talk:Splarka|talk]]) 23:59, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

:::Oh, I see. I clicked on the "unprotect" tag on that article and the log message became much clearer. Thanks for pointing that out! --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 00:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

==Howloween 2005 attendance==
Hi Rat, I've changed the Howloween 2005 numbers elsewhere to reflect your attendance figure. If you're certain this is correct, I'll also make sure Flint Otterhall gets the corrections for his infosheet. Thanks! --[[User:Frizzy|Frizzy]] 04:58, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
:That's the information on the howloween_admin list. Unfortunately it isn't public, so I can't cite a specific message. I can't think of anything that would explain that discrepancy.(There were 6 pre-regs that didn't show up(again according to the howloween_admin list), so that isn't it as far as I know). --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 05:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

== Person stubs ==

Good to see more person stubs. Thank you for creating them. A few points which would cut down on subsequent edits:
* Bolded aliases should have redirects to the article
* "Soandso is an x who lives in" reads more smoothly, and is more grammatical, than "Soandso is an x living in"
* We have [[:Category:Convention staff]]
Thanks! -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

== WikiFur and fair use? ==

Hey Rat, which WikiFur user(s) know most about fair use (in US) and/or fair dealing (in Canada)? (I'm hoping you know) --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 06:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

:I know a certain amount about fair use. Fair dealing, less so (ironic, since I come from the UK, but I didn't really have to deal with it before I came here :-). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 06:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

::I know some, but I'm not an expert. I'll weigh in on the topic. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 08:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

== Art drive submissions ==
Just wanted to let you know that I've completed some work for the art drive.
**Completed [[Image:Rat fursona.png|25px]] and used in [[Rat (species)]]
**Completed [[Image:Rabbit fursona.png|25px]] and used in [[Rabbit]]

== page name changes ==

Hey Rat, I just want to say thanks for the page name chages for Miki and Rokko, I appreciate it - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 16:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey Rat, sorry but there was a miscommunication between me and Shawntae, He didn't want me to use the adolescent pic of Rokko, so could you please delete - Image:Rokko WhiteEye (Adolecent) by ebonyleopard.jpg - for me, thanks and sorry - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 22:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

== Image filenames ==

Heya. When uploading images, could you see about giving them meaningful filenames? That is there in the uploading bumf. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:Ok, I have been inconsistent with doing that. I don't see a direct way to rename already uploaded images, but I can reupload them under a new name. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 23:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== RedFox Nightfox ==

I changed the information on that page because it has inaccurate information about myself. I am no longer on DeviantArt and do not wish to be associated with that website.

Please do not change it again.

Thanks.

P.S.

I am curious as to the fact that someone would even create a page about me in the first place, albeit with only a little information. quite interesting...

== Picture deletion / cannot email? ==

Log into Wikifur for the first time in months only to find out you deleted one of my pictures (a commission done for me which I had the rights to post). I tried to email you about it but WikiFur complains that I "must be logged in and have a valid email address in my preferences", both of which are true. Sounds like a bug that needs fixing.

Please do me the courtesy of emailing me or at least triggering something that'll send me a notification before you delete something valid like this.

Please revert the article to the version before you edited it so the picture will re-appear. Thank you. {{unsigned|Tugrik}}

:Looks like you've already restored it. Remember to tag the image with what the terms of use for it are.
:If you would like to be notified when a page changes (ie. your talk page), add it to your watchlist. Go under "my preferences", and check "E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed".
:I don't know about the user-to-user mail thing. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 07:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

== Objective Writeup...? ==

I'm not exactly sure how you mean by making the article about myself more... objective. You mean abstract? Or controversial? Or do you mean to have more overall objectives to cover in what I explain?

I suppose I'm just not understanding exactly what particular instances you're referring to in the writeups posted which you offered as examples.

Sometimes I just have to be shown in detail; if you want to diagram it like sentence structure, I'll probably follow easier than if you say, "check out these few profiles and do it like that." Cause I'm kinda like, "Do what like how? Am I making the article too personal and biased?"

Just let me know! Thanks! --[[User:Kit-Karamak|Kit Karamak]] 21:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
:Some other editors besides me have taken a more active interest in the article and you may want to talk to them. Noted examples from me:
:"He has two successful fan fictions" -Successful in what way?
:"Kit is NOT a vegan." -I don't know why it's stated so strongly.
:--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 21:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Both examples are good ones; I appreciate it. I'll keep an eye out for things that need explaining and seem trivial so that I can tighten up the article itself. Thanks again! --[[User:Kit-Karamak|Kit Karamak]] 01:31, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

== Added two images to articles ==

I've added images to [[Jackal]] and to [[Panther]]. I believe these qualify for your art bounty, but let me know if there is something I should adjust. -- [[User:KDelany|KDelany]] 23:02, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
:Okay, looks like it meets the requirements. Just let me know if you'd like the bounty immediately or if you'd just like me to add it to my records for now. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 23:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
::Immediate would be great; I plan to add more images in the future, but that might not be for some time. -- [[User:KDelany|KDelany]] 02:25, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I have one.

I just didn't log in.

== Renaming article ==

Thanks for fixing up [[TFnet]] for me. The funny thing is, I kept thinking there had to be a right way to do it what wouldn't lose the history, but when I checked the [[Help:Editing|editing help link]] it seemed to clearly indicate that redirects were used for correcting article name misspellings and capitalisation errors, so... there you have it, just a newbie pedant, for all the damage that causes. *grin* Again, I'm glad you set it up right! {{unsigned|Tracerj}}
:The neat thing is, when you use the "move" function in the software, it automatically makes a redirect from the old page to the new page. Right now though, the "move" function is restricted to admins only(sorry!), so if you need a page moved, just ask an [[WikiFur:Administrators|admin]]. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 21:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

== vanfurs ? ==

I was about to start an article about vanfurs LJ, but I noticed vanfurs profile page says “Name: Vancouver Furs” so I was wondering what the article name should be. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 23:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
:My opinion is that the mention on [[List_of_furry_LiveJournal_communities]] is enough, but if you feel you can write something more about it go ahead. You could label it [[vanfurs]] or [[Vancouver Furs (LiveJournal community)]], or pose the question to a wider group. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 06:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, what I meant was to blank the page then, protect it after removing the vandalism.. :) --[[User:Cometstyles|Comet]][[User talk:Cometstyles|styles]] 10:03, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

== Blanking ==

Are you requesting exclusion? Because if you are, just blanking the page does not remove the content from the article, and it can and probably will be restored by anyone. If you want to request exclusion, see [[WikiFur:Personal_exclusion]]. I don't think it'll be very controversial if you do want exclusion, so I just mainly want to make sure it wasn't accidental. Are you having any problems with WikiFur that we might be able to help with? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 04:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

for now, atleast, i really don't have much to say about myself, until i write up a final draft of what to put on a personaly page, just exclude it, i hope you understand

i put that up like a month after i got into the fandom, and i really don't have the time nor the focus right now, if you do remvoe it, does that mean that i won't be able to make ti again in the future or does itj ust mean it can be excluded until i decide to put one back up? {{unsigned|Kiboe Motegi}}
:I did a full exclusion which means only admins can edit it. An admin can unprotect it if you request so. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 04:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

okay, i have an idea of what i want, you can unprotect it now, i am just in so much confusion tonight, i am so sorry if i caused you any problems. ([[User:Kiboe Motegi|Kiboe Motegi]] 04:23, 5 January 2008 (UTC))

== Erm... why...? ==

Did you revert to the out of date version of [[Tori]]? The information, images and one of the three links were all out of date! {{unsigned|Robomilk}}
:My bad; I saw you had removed the contributor template from [[User:Robomilk]] and the same on [[Tori]], and rather than noticing all the other changes, I selectively saw just the removed tags. I reverted back to your edits and added in the contributor tag. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 15:28, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

== Deletion of talk pages for excluded persons ==

Talk pages of excluded persons should not be deleted. Often they contain the very reasoning which justifies the exclusion. I would tend only to remove personal information that would rightly have been in the article if it were not excluded. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

== RSS readers ==

I found [http://www.feedreader.com/ this] reader program for [[wikipedia:Windows|Windows]]. Hope that helps! [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 03:05, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

== Pendragon Entertainment ==

You might want to leave cases like [[Pendragon Entertainment]] as a redirect to help people find the main article. Anyway, I've found information that they've done more than just [[High Tail Hall]], so maybe I'll jot down what I've found so far. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 05:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== More Nicodemuses ==

Thanks for adding to the Nicodemus disambiguation. I expected there to be more. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 03:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

== Animal multiplayer worlds ==

On [[Category talk:Multiplayer worlds]], I've proposed [[:Category:Animal multiplayer worlds]] to contain or replace [[:Category:Wildlife multiplayer worlds]]. I thought you might want to comment. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

== OK, Maybe Not On Hiatus ==

Heh. I was hoping no one would notice ;-) Thanks for catching that. ----[[User:DuncanDaHusky|DuncanDaHusky]]([[User talk:DuncanDaHusky|talk]]) 20:00, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

== Anubis ==

When renaming pages, use the "move" tab instead of copy and pasting. For instance, a move could have been used to rename "Anubis" to "Anubis (god)". Using "move" instead of copy and pasting preserves the edit history of the article. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 11:56, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

== What did you revert me for? ==

What I said in [[Wolf's Rain]] was the truth, both about the series and wolves in general. Stop denying it just because you are a furry, damnit. {{unsigned|88.106.133.67}}
:I reverted you because of vandalism. You have now been blocked for repeated vandalism after your warning. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 16:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

== Clean-up of Feila article ==

I'd be more than happy to clean-up the Feila article, but I'm not really sure what you want me to fix. The link in the clean-up box goes to a dead page. Suggestions? --[[User:RabidFox|RabidFox]] 15:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

:For one, it has no categories. Two, the image at the bottom would be better placed as right-aligned alongside the mascot text. It also needs to be Wikified (<nowiki>[[links]]</nowiki> set where applicable, ie names). There may be some minor other edits needed, but those are the primary things. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 16:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

::Categories? I am afraid that I do not understand what you mean, considering that it seems that the article is already organized in such a manner. Perhaps you could be a little more specific? As for the mascot image, I have tried to right-align it several times, but I cannot do so without interrupting the following, unrelated section. Is there a way to do this without interfering into an inappropriate section, or should I do so regardless? --[[User:RabidFox|RabidFox]] 05:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

:::Categories such as [[:Category:Forums]], which I have added. I have cleaned up the article to remove 'fluff' and to properly Wikify it. You are free to continue editing it. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 14:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== Ctrl-C ==

Not entirely sure why you reverted [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Ctrl-C&curid=3690&diff=121200&oldid=44936 this]... [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 01:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
:It's not furry related, nor is it a disambiguation page. Even on the latter, it wouldn't be necessary. I highly doubt someone looking to know what Ctrl+C does on a computer would go to a furry wiki. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 01:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== Changing username? ==

I was wondering if it was possible to wipe out the names Rapture, Kiralea, and Rapytur. I sort of need to do a complete overhaul (perhaps even change my log in name as well) since I don't GO by Rapture anymore (too old of a name and I didn't even make it up.. I wanted to name my character / alias to something that I made :D not something a friend made for me). So yeah... if you could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for your time! {{unsigned|Rapture}}

:We don't generally "wipe out" anything; assuming you don't want your articles completely erased (content-wise), then those names will still serve as redirects, and likely be included as a '____ was formerly known as...' note in the new article. You're free, however, to redo your current article as you see fit to reflect these changes, and an admin can move the page to your new name once you've decided. As for changing your username, click the "my preferences" link in the upper right hand corner and you can change your nickname there. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 16:10, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually I wanted the pages completely wiped if it was okay with you. :D I really want to remake everything. And I meant if I could change the username. Sorry! Not trying to be a pain in the butt but I sort of gave my designs a complete overhaul.

== Athari ==

Thanks for correcting mistakes and making the article more encyclopedic. :-) However, I have a few questions.

Are there’re any rules on using quotes and apostrophes? I prefer to use curved quotes (“”, ‘’, «») instead of straight (", ') as they look more pretty. Should only straight ones be used on WikiFur? The same question on dashes: should en-dashes and em-dashes (–, —) be used or hyphen (-)? If I remember correctly, WikiPedia permits both styles.

I think the link to the Snow Lands needs some description, the name of the site doesn’t give any hints on its contents. It can be just “home site of Athari,” for example.

''> The nick “Athari” is Swahili word → The name "Athari" … ''

It’s nick, not name… [[User:Athari|Athari]] 11:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

:I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. If it's not listed in [[Help:Furry Book of Style]], and Wikipedia allows it, then I suppose it's fine. As for your edits, the summary of the website should be fine, and I'd rather put 'nickname' than just 'nick', but that's me. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 13:47, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

== Change ==

I changed "Lapists have no obvious idols, as with Protestant Christians" to "Lapists have no obvious idols, as with Christians," as the former is anti-Catholic, while the latter is true.

== Spotted hyena ==

It already exists, under the [[:Category:Spotted Hyena characters|proper capitalization]]. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])
