'''Standards of Conduct''' (also known as the '''Code of Conduct''', '''Rules of Conduct''', or sometimes simply as ''the rules'') are rules that members have to follow at a [[:Category:Conventions|convention]]. Membership at the convention is usually contingent on following those rules.

Most of the rules spell out policies on common things, such as some or all of the following:

* Conduct towards other members (harassment, assault, etc.)
* Weapons policies
* [[Room Party|Room parties]]
* Substance abuse
* [[Freebie Table|Posting of announcements/fliers]]
* Sales of merchandise
* Use of audio/video footage

Conventions can (and have) asked people who have violated their rules of conduct to not come back in following years (this has [[Evil Sibe|not always worked]]). Each convention has its own process for deciding when to kick a person out.

== [[File:Pawstop.png|25px]] Regarding article Personal Exclusion (article removal) from Wikifur ==

* Please consult the [[Wikifur]]'s page about "''[[WikiFur:Personal exclusion|article exclusion]]''" first.
* The request must be made by the article's user, with some exceptions (next of kin, lawyer/barrister, etc...).
* The exclusion will delete the ability for others to edit it any further, plus a protection layer is added by Wikifur's [[curator]]s so is no longer searchable on such sites such as [[W:Google|Google]].
* NOTE: [[WikiFur:Personal information|Removal of personal information]] is normally not the same as exclusion, and it can be done without needing curator assistance.
* The request can be made in a myriad of ways (Email, [[Bluesky]], [[X (social media)|X]]'s DM, [[Fur Affinity]]'s DM, etc...).

If you are trying to contact me specifically about an exclusion, please send me a DM via Twitter at "[https://twitter.com/SpirouWikifur Spirou on Wikifur]".

== Cassidy Civet ==

Hi there,

I'm just wondering, what exactly was wrong with the edits on the Cassidy Civet page? The page currently functions as the subject's personal blog (which is not how Wiki articles are supposed to read). I spent quite a bit of time reformatting the page to remove unnecessary fluff while rebuilding the convention attendance list, and including additional and new research. Why exactly were the changes reverted? --[[Special:Contributions/50.125.93.8|50.125.93.8]] 21:05, 26 November 2023 (EST)

:Hallo.

:"''The page currently functions as the subject's personal blog''", hmm, you haven't seen some of the more... larger articles on this wiki (they make this article look like a one-paragraph blurb), your POV phrasing indicates you are coming in gunning for this user in the first instance, and letting people update their own article is not (once, once, once again) against Wiki's policies (including [[Wikifur]], so...

:Yes, there is a lot of work to be done with this article, a lot of fluff and redundancy to be taken care of, but there is some valid info there (so obliterating the whole '''Convention attendance''' section almost out without trying to salvage anything was not your best edit). Feuds are normally personal, and unless they affect the fandom as a whole, or they are very uncouth, they don't belong in a '''Controversy''' section. In your edit, you did not check grammar, double links, redundancy, fix the ext. links, or other needed really, really needed "copy editing".

:We need editors, but not the type we have to babysit after each edit (it is tiresome). Hope you understand - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 21:48, 26 November 2023 (EST)
::Hi there! I’m terribly sorry about the confusion here. Responding to the comment you left on my page: I did not intend to employ any subterfuge. I took the message about copyediting to be about the way the article was written. I will admit I have never seen an article as long as Cassidy's on this website. However, are the other ones also containing a lot of superfluous details that don't add to the article? Ones I've noticed in Cassidy's are things such as talking about things she didn’t do, mentioning her visiting friends after a con, or unusual sections about how certain cons were failures for her. What my edit intended to do was capture the important details out of those roughly fifty paragraphs by including them in the fandom involvement section, preserve which cons in particular she had performed at via a brand new convention attendance list, and expand on other sections. If I was gunning for her, I would not have gone to the effort of making that brand new list with those details in it. If there’s anything you feel I should have left in my edit from the current version, that could be put in the fandom involvement section, I’d be happy to revise it and fix it; it took me quite a long time to make the edits that I did, so I wouldn't want it to all be for nothing.

::I'm also sorry I didn't fix that other stuff; I had already been working on fixing the article up for several hours and wanted to take a break. I suppose I shouldn't have removed the copywriting blurb, so my apologies.

::(Also, for clarity's sake, these edits were done anonymously to avoid possible retaliation from the subject, as they have a long history of feuding with individuals, and it is evident how important this page is to them with how much they edit it. I'm sorry for not being more forthright in my identity; I have had an account on here for many years, for the record. If you're willing to work this out more closely to fix her article up, I would be open to talking on Telegram, if you do have it.) --[[Special:Contributions/50.125.93.8|50.125.93.8]] 22:06, 26 November 2023 (EST)

== PepperCoyote Covid controversy + vendoring blacklist ==

Hello. I don't really understand how you came to the conclusion that Pepper's Covid controversy isn't related to the furry fandom. It involved himself, a fairly high profile person within the fandom, trying to encourage and instruct other people, also in the fandom, on how to lie on their covid vaccine applications which caused them to receive backlash from, again, people in the fandom. It's a furry directly interacting with other furries and furries reacting to that furry. If this is considered to be unrelated to the fandom, than what exactly ''is'' considered relevant? There are several articles on site that come to mind which include information that could also be considered unrelated to the fandom or as personal incidents. Articles such as [[Simba_Lion_(United_States)]] mentioning a shootout with the police (how is that related to the fandom or not a personal incident?) or the other [[https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Simba_Lion_(United_Kingdom)]]'s article mentioning him being wanted by the police (again, this seems more like what would be actually described as a personal incident unrelated to the fandom).
I'm also unsure why you changed the "Restricted from vendoring and/or performing" indicator to only mention performing when Pepper himself explicitly stated that they had been blacklisted from vendoring in the dealers den at MFF. - {{unsigned35.151.75.132}}

:Because is not: Cheating on taxes, cutting in line, getting a COVID vaccine early, etc, are personal "issues", not fandom "controversies" (had he told people NOT to get the COVID-19 vaccine, then that would be a controversy, as he would have put people in possible danger, including death).

:We cover murders, rape, stealing, and other mainstream criminal deeds, as it has affected furries in the past (and unfortunately, in the future). Getting a COVID-19 vaccine early by using subterfuges only makes him look bad, and if somebody else does it because he suggested it, well, not kosher, but still '''not''' a real controversy. You trying to shove a non-issue into an article because it is clear you have a POV issue with this person, not the mentality to have in a place where neutrality is king.

:As per "vendoring": (A) Checking social media, his musical performances were banned, not his "vendoring", and (B) "Vendoring" is more commonly used in software parlance, "Vending" is the one related to selling wares. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 00:07, 11 December 2023 (EST)

==EasyTimeline pages on the site.==

Hi, Spirou. I think that something is broken with EasyTimeline on the site. We use it mainly for the [[Template:Timeline of conventions|Convention Timeline]] and a couple of other smaller graphs. Right now, any edits result in a broken image icon. The currently displaying timeline is only there because the image is cached on the server side. I had originally wondered if we had hit some kind of internal size limit, but I played around with a much smaller table in my talk sandbox, and got the same behavior. Based on my edits, I can pinpoint that it broke sometime between October 29 and November 6.

Side note: I kind of worry about how much cpu and memory load it takes to generate the timeline, though I suppose once the image is cached, it is fine.

Thank you - [[User:TheRedSquirrel|TheRedSquirrel]] ([[User talk:TheRedSquirrel|talk]]) 15:04, 20 December 2023 (EST)

:Hallo, TheRedSquirrel. Unfortunately, I am not privy to the underpinnings of [[Wikifur]], code-wise, [[User:Greenreaper|curator Greenreaper]] would be the one (and top) person with this knowledge. I am sorry I cannot help you with this matter. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 05:58, 21 December 2023 (EST)

==The more damaged pages==
Hello! It seems like the pages with the nyan cat gif somehow have the html edited directly. The div element that contains the main page content has a style attribute added, and there is an 'a' and 'p' element added for the gif and text. Hope this info helps. - [[User:TEC Con Staff|TEC Con Staff]] ([[User talk:TEC Con Staff|talk]]) 02:01, 29 December 2023 (EST)

I am deeply offended at the matter you deem my career a quote on quote "nonsense". I feel like you should rethink this action immediately before striking down true posts of matters you do not understand, good day sir/ma'am/other - {{unsigned|TotallynotFerret}}

Hello! On the [[Euphorica]] page, you removed my line preparing to insert an image (as I was unable to able to upload an image). As I haven't become autoconfirmed yet, I was hoping you could upload the image so we could put it back? The [https://i.imgur.com/b9fEBf7.jpeg| image in question here.]

Hello, I hope I done this correctly, I am looking to get my page excluded as I wouldn't like to have it anymore, I did DM you on twitter but not sure if it got through, Thanks - {{unsigned|Tevosilverfox }}
:Hallo. Unfortunately, I cannot do Personal Exclusions at this present time; I am already taking care of 11 users requesting them on '''X''', and I am a little behind just patrolling the Recent Pages due to my RL animation job and life. Other colleagues could help you on this matter, or if you don't mind for my to catch up, I can do it later, hopefully before the end of this month, Cheers - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 19:42, 16 January 2024 (EST)

Hi Spirou

I sent you a fairly high priority/urgent email through the site's system, I don't know if you got it or not. I've had no acknowledgement of such. It's an extremely sensitive topic that I don't want to discuss publicly. If you can't respond through discord, the email address registered to this account will work as well.

- [[User:WhiteTigerOfTheWest|WhiteTigerOfTheWest]] ([[User talk:WhiteTigerOfTheWest|talk]])

:Hallo; I have been really behind schedule due to RL and pro work since September 2023, and it has not slowed down for Jan 2024. Let me check my Apple Mail program for your email, I have filters set for Wikifur letters going to its own mailbox, but Apple software is n longer guaranteed it will work (ending up on spam, et al), so let me check/BRB live...

:Okay, found it, and, unfortunately, the article(s) can not be set to "read-only" (due to the nature of the site being a living Wiki, at least at the present moment, ), so the two options you have is to either Personal Exclude them, or leaving them up and just keep an eye on them/revert sus edits, just like the rest of current user articles on the site... Unless Colleague GreenReaper has an alternate third/fourth/etc choice. Sry (as for KF, I don't think they are not even operational anymore, according to mainstream news, just FYI). - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 18:30, 30 January 2024 (EST)

:: Hello once again and thank you for the response! Given circumstances I don't think my article will be the target of vandalism anymore, or at least not until my uh, personal decisions, are more public. That being said, I think it's for the best I ask for a personal exclusion to have the article deleted/removed so I can craft an improved one for myself as I am now. Last I checked KF was struggling to stay afloat as the 2023 lawsuit damages have cost the owner quite dearly. - [[User:WhiteTigerOfTheWest|WhiteTigerOfTheWest]] ([[User talk:WhiteTigerOfTheWest|talk]])

:::So go ahead with exclusion then?. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 02:18, 2 February 2024 (EST)

::::Yes please! If possible please permanently remove as much as you can. - [[User:WhiteTigerOfTheWest|WhiteTigerOfTheWest]] ([[User talk:WhiteTigerOfTheWest|talk]])

== Personal re-inclusion ==

Hi Spirou,

Even after 8+ years, I still get a little nervous editing here. I was originally known as [[User:LexiconTohin|LexiconTohin]] back in 2016; I no longer can access that account, and I haven't used that specific alias in a while. I was curious in re-enabling/unlocking my page, but possibly having it renamed to "Lexicon" as the surname isn't used anymore. I feel as if it could be beneficial for the page to reflect my current contributions to the fandom, with additional community input.
Would just making a new page called [[Lexicon]] be acceptable, or just renaming the current page? I wanted to reach out before doing anything drastic.

Thanks,
--[[User:Lexicon|Lexicon]] ([[User talk:Lexicon|talk]]) 22:46, 2 February 2024 (EST)

Some of his earlier [[comic]]s, in collaboration with fellow [[artist]] [[Richard Konkle]], were published as far back as 1985, featuring the [[character]]s [[Red Shetland]] and [[Equine the Uncivilized]], which were printed under his independent label [[GraphXPress]].

Jim is known for being a [[W:Caricature|caricaturist]]. In such [[fanzine|furry zine]]s such as [[YARF!|Yarf]], he would often publish his [[convention]] reports in comic book format. For a while during the conventions themselves, he made a tradition of destroying plush toy versions of [[W:Smurfs|Smurfs]] or of [[W:Barney the dinosaur|Barney the dinosaur]], a practice that became known as a [[Groatish Mauling]].

Jim was a [[guest of honor]] at [[ConFurence 1]], [[Albany Anthrocon 1998]], and [[Rocket City FurMeet#2004|Rocket City FurMeet 2004]]. He is a member of the [[Lake Area Furry Friends]].

Sangie Nativus

2023-05-25T21:58:32Z

Lexicon: Undo revision 567640 by Spirou (talk). There's some differences between FA users labeled as !Suspended compared to -Banned (e.g., ChewFox's FA account). Unsure what the actual difference is, however.

[[File:Sangie-bedroom by deathjingle.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sangie by [[DeathJingle]]]]
'''Sangie Nativus''', previously known as '''Toboe'''<ref>[https://furaffinity.net/user/toboe Toboe FurAffinity]Recorded August 12, 2022.</ref> (real name '''James Hoyt'''), is a [[furry]] [[DJ]] and the founder and owner of [[InkedFur]].

== Fandom involvement ==

Sangie has been active in the [[furry fandom]] since 2006. Starting off as a [[gray wolf]], in 2007 he fell in love with [[red wolf|red wolves]] and decided to base his [[character]] on them, as he felt the most similar to that breed.

Sangie has lived in many places throughout his life, being involved in the fandom in most of these places. He has lived in [[w:Austin, Texas|Austin, Texas]]; [[w:Orlando, Florida|Orlando, Florida]]; [[w:Louisville, Kentucky|Louisville, Kentucky]]; [[w:Denver|Denver, Colorado]]; and [[w:Salt Lake City|Salt Lake City, Utah]].

He was first involved with the [[ColoFurs]] group in 2006, [[Fritz_Fox]] being one of the first furries he met in person. This was his introduction to the fandom. Later, he's been involved with Utah furs and the [[Lone Star Furs]].

=== InkedFur ===

The main thing Sangie loves in the fandom is [[artwork]] of all types. Starting off as an art collector himself, he saw there was no consistency in quality from [[artist]]s doing their own prints, so he decided to launch [[InkedFur]] as a print service for artists and for fans.

==Music==
=== DJ hobbyist ===
When he first joined the fandom, Sangie noticed how much furries loved dance music, and started DJing for the fandom. He has DJed at several [[furry conventions]] and also held a professional club residency, and used to have an FM weekly radio show in 2006.

=== Furry FM and Fur.dance ===
Sangie's love of music led to him sharing it with the furry fandom. He started off by helping [[Binx]] with [[Furry FM]], doing a weekly radio show. Due to the stress of managing a station, Binx passed the torch to Sangie to continue working on. Unfortunately, he was unable to keep a strong audience and handed the station to [[Furocity Radio]].

Due to disagreements in the direction the station should go, Sangie left Furocity Radio, leaving them with the station. He then worked with his previous staff to try to launch a new station called [[Fur.dance]]. Unfortunately, he did not have the time needed to devote to it as he was focused on [[InkedFur]] still.

==Controversy==

Sangie has been accused of being a pedophile due to old mugshots, now removed due to inaccuracies, and his love and support of cub artists. He was also friends with Nelizar, aka SnakeThing, which also further painted him in a bad light. Sangie is not listed in any sex offender database proving he was never convicted of any sex crime. When doing a background report on him, it comes up with no charges at all.<ref>[https://www.dropbox.com/s/dgiwapb59bqzolp/bg-report-2021.pdf?dl=0 Federal background report] Recorded June 27, 2021.</ref>

Sangie was forthright in his now deleted [[FurAffinity]] journal indicated the arrests concerned interacting with an underage individual on the internet when Sangie thought they were 19 when he messaged them on [[Pounced]].<ref>[https://archive.fo/i901a Archive of FA posting on archive.fo.] Recorded November 16, 2017.</ref> Later, Sangie posted that a Utah attorney got his criminal record expunged in 2018 due to completing probation and the charge being "Dealing in Harmful Material to a Minor" which is not a sex offense<ref>[https://archive.fo/02FgR Archive of FA posting on archive.fo.] Recorded May 1, 2018.</ref> and sex offenses in Utah can never be expunged.<ref>[https://www.utcourts.gov/howto/expunge/ Expungement laws in Utah]Recorded August 12, 2022.</ref>

== Question about my wikifur page ==

Hello, I was told by spirou to talk to you about my wikifur page.
I sent a note about it to your FA. It will be from the user "Fuzzlemuzzle".

Please read when you get the chance, thank you!

== Bots ==

Is there anyway to have a bot put ContributorU on user pages, at least the ones with a matching article name? Or, perhaps, one that puts welcome templates on the talk pages of new users? [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 19:53, 22 June 2011 (EDT)
:Both of those are technically feasible, but the first would require writing a bot script and assumes they are the same person, while I'm not sure the second is a good idea in general. Welcomes are at best rather impersonal if you have a bot do them, and at worst end up looking stupid when you start welcoming vandals (faking the last admin to edit signing it only makes it worse, as seen at Wikia). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:01, 22 June 2011 (EDT)
::All right. Just a thought I had and thought I'd ask about. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 20:13, 22 June 2011 (EDT)

== Questions ==

What do you define the difference between a [[fursuit]] and an [[wikipedia:animal costume|animal costume]]? The subject has come up at [[wikipedia:Talk:Fursuit#Explanation of edits undone|Wikiepdia's fursuit article]], but I'm a rather poor debater, and feel my opinion is pretty closed-minded. My opinion is that a fursuit is only a fursuit if associated with furry, otherwise, it's an animal or mascot costume. However, I know that some feel an animal costume is a fursuit, and the two are synonymous. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 12:43, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

:As it happens I was already reading that discussion. I think my response would be much the same as yours - certainly, animal costumes existed, but they were not used for the same reasons, nor (apparently) called the same thing. I might respond there, but I'm a little busy at work now. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 12:49, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

Also, whenever I try to edit a section or add a new section, the wiki tries to replace the entire text with the section. Any thoughts on why this is? It may have something to do with the fact that I am using Internet Explorer, which gives me problems in general on this Wiki. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 12:45, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

:What version of IE is it? Does it happen if you do turn off the advanced editing functions in [[Special:Preferences|preferences]] so that you no longer have the WikiEditor toolbar showing? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 12:49, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

+ ::It's the newest version. The only difference between the newest version and the older one (which I used on my PC) is that this allows me to edit, as long as I do not scroll down the page, whereas the older would simply lock up my computer if I even went to an edit page. The only way I am able to edit on this laptop I often use is by typing without scrolling too much, and then clicking the "Changes" tab, where it allows me to scroll down to click save. I have just turned off the advanced editing functions, and it still did it. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 13:03, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

Actually, now might be a good time to ask. I'd like to be able to fight vandalism with greater ease. And while it wouldn't have helped much in this last situation, would it be too much of me to request rollback privelages? [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 21:55, 2 July 2011 (EDT)

== Altering/deleting species profile ==

After a few years of it being there, I suddenly found a user "Spirou" putting my Monoceros page up for deletion. When I undid his edit and asked why, he deleted it in its entirety and replaced it with a 'redirect'.

Just curious why I was singled out. Or are all http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Category:Fictional_species pages due to to be similarly deleted/redirected if any single WikiFur editor decides that a 'custom species' isn't to his or her liking? If you're nuking all of them, then no worries, I understand. But if it's just this page, I'd really like to know why.

There are multiple monoceri played online, and yes, I've referred others (esp. on SpheresMU*) to that page for reference. Just because no others of them are WikiFur members with their own page yet doesn't mean that the fictional species entry for monoceri should be deleted. Some fairness or explanation would be highly appreciated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Tugrik|Tugrik]] ([[User talk:Tugrik|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tugrik|contribs]]) .

However, eBuddy works. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]][[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 16:12, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

Well, I talked to him. Nothing was really accomplished, however. He accused me of attacking him when I was merely asking why he wanted the section removed, which he didn't give a clear answer to. He said he didn't want people googling his name to find out about FA, so I suggested not indexing it, which you've apparently done. However, he then said it was pointless to have the article at all if Google can't find it, to which the only solution is personal exclusion, but he didn't want that either. Then he ''did'' want it. He seemed to have changed his mind again by the ''end'' of the discussion, and said the information was inaccurate. I advised him to correct it, then threatened to blank it immediately after. All the while making passive aggressive insults and threatening to tattle on me to you for "bringing drama" and telling me I'm lucky he didn't have me banned, despite having done nothing wronf. In fact, I was more polite than usual. Also, you apparently "told him about me" but I don't know what you said. All in all, it only managed to shave a few years off my lifespan, because I still don't know what he wants or what happened. So, I was wondering if you could explain to me what I'm supposed to do/have done, or talk to him yourself. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]][[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 17:40, 27 July 2011 (EDT)
:We've had further conversation. This sort of thing happens every now and again in some cases. For the record, all I really told him about you was that you wouldn't respond well to vague threats - which was apparently correct. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:21, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

It's not that I thought you said anything bad, he just alluded to it enough that it seemed like something important. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]][[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 21:30, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

== RBW boat party notice ==

Hi GreenReaper,

That's actually a very good point - it seems to be a UKFur issue. If you go here : http://forum.ukfur.org/forum/86-ukfur-events/, and look at the RBW forum 'last updated' thing on the right, it (currently) says 124 topics, but the forum itself is only showing 3 pinned topics.... I've PM'd the admins about it and I'm waiting on the response. In the meantime, you can search the UKFur boards, using "RBW boat party" (minus the quotes) as search criteria, and the article is (currently) the 4th one down. The actual comment from Miyabi (aka sneppid) is post #19 and reads as follows:

''We've sortof dropped the ball on this – we're all quite enjoying the time off; not having massive heart palpitations and not being plunged into huge personal debt is a really nice feeling :3 We're also pretty busy managing LF stuff (well, most of us are, anyway). We'll probably make an official announcement soon but for the time being don't hold your breath for a 2011 boat party – think 2012 instead. We couldn't get the Erasmus at all for the dates we wanted this year, which wouldn't be a huge problem but we'd like to keep the vessel the same. Sorry about the radio silence, but will keep you posted re: 2012.''

So, no "official" announcement generally available, no. If that changes, I'll update the article (assuming you're happy with this as a reference - I can email you a screenshot if you like. :) [[User:Bezel|Bezel]] 05:15, 2 August 2011 (EDT)

:The issue with UKFur should now be fixed - apparently there were some unexpected hiccups when the RBW posts were moved from "conventions" to "events", which have now been corrected. [[User:Bezel|Bezel]] 11:06, 3 August 2011 (EDT)

==Furnal Equinox Edits by Non-Directors/ConCom==

Hey Green, We've all been through this before. dan skunk is reversing edits on the page, after I removed the "see other/danskunk" and he placed it back. With me removing again. As a director of the convention and concom, speaking with others on said places. We do not wish his wikifur linked from our page article. He has mention in the article and that is enough, he has and still continues to cause problems for us, including many threatening e-mails sent to myself and other directors of the convention in the last few months. We would appreciate if he was blocked from editing our page, or our page was locked from edits, except from anyone of the directors. Scani, Myself, Blindsight, Pakesh or Arctic. At the least I'd like dan skunk to be prevented from editing our page. We don't need more issues then we already have with him and his problems.

Shane Nicholson
Director/ConCom - Furnal Equinox

:Perhaps it's poor form for me to interject on user talk pages, but I noticed this change had felt compelled to jump in because you're asking for administrative lockdowns on this article. Generally, I feel it is not appropriate policy for pages to be locked down to a whitelist of official authors who can contribute. I help run a convention, so I have a similar perspective about public perceptions and controlling impressions. We do this through our convention website, and I think that's the appropriate place for controlled messages and positive promotional text. Our event, like yours, has had a turbulent past that got us to where we are today, and while history isn't always positive or engendering of those presently organizing an event, convention, website, etc., it's an important part of the history of the event, but also, often for the regional fandom at large. If items are added which are true facts, written in a NPOV, and are referenced according to standard, even if they cast an event in a contentious or less than positive light, they're part of a total perspective an encyclopedic article deserves. I noticed the tremendous amount of edits/reverts/reedits/talk page notes that have been going on about your event, and I can't find evidence that Dan is "trolling" in any usual sense, though I certainly understand how you might wish him to not publish his edits as associated with your event. However, I think to be true to it's intended form, that's a concession we have to allow to keep Wikifur credible and in a long-term sense, truly useful. I don't believe anyone should be granted a privileged status as to what an article should say because they are elected or appointed to organize the subject matter being discussed. At the very least, I would recommend that if Dan puts up something you find untruthful, the references be questioned and researched by uninvolved parties, and consensus is reached before edits/reverts are made. Until that happens, even if you were exclusive granted access to maintain the article, it would no longer be credible, it would simply be promotional without community consensus and involvement.

== Just updated some info ==

This is Cloudchaser Sakonige. I just edited "Cloudchaser Shaconage" and "Furry Dictionaries" to correct the spelling of my last name and on "Cloudchaser Shaconage" I updated the External Links. That of course has broken the link to "Cloudchaser Shaconage" from "Furry Dictionaries." How do I edit the main title of "Cloudchaser Shaconage" so "Shaconage" get changed to "Sakonige"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.247.129.251 ([[User talk:69.247.129.251|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/69.247.129.251|contribs]]) 07:47, 19 August 2011 (UTC) 

== Since both questions have been ignored, I'll post this here. ==

So you deleted the article; fair enough. However, while the other article continues to exist I find that a prime example of double standards. Also that you didn't allow a true discussion to be held about its deletion seems silly. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]][[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 17:17, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
:You mean the one about Blu Aardvark? If there's a consensus there to delete it, I'd be fine with that as well. As far as I'm aware, they haven't really been an issue here recently. As for the discussion, I saw four people in favour of deletion - five if you count me - one oppose (from the page creator), and one noncommittal response. If we were Wikipedia, it might be necessary to keep such pages around to inform those unaware of the situation, but I don't think that's the case here. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:19, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

I'm curious as to why you went through the process of deleting Equivamp's article, moving the revision over, and restoring the old edits. Wouldn't it have been quicker to just cut and paste, or am I overlooking something?--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 23:10, 4 September 2011 (EDT)
:Perhaps, but it would have left the edits made by Equivamp separate. I felt it was better to keep them all together. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:11, 4 September 2011 (EDT)

==TGcomix==
Can you please keep an eye on the tiny community of pedophiles here, especially with [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Tyciol&diff=343523&oldid=341592 their stated intentions to harass 15-year-old girls] on TrikiWiki.org, which he uses to write about his personal enemies (eg. Brainwurms, Zaiger420, Thayo). I doubt that TGcomix wishes to be a constructive contributor here; his main goal seems to be recruitment. I doubt Tyciol will present any problems; it's TGcomix you really need to worry about. If you won't ban TGcomix in order to save your wiki from any problems he may present in the future, you should at least tell him that comments [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Tyciol&diff=343523&oldid=341592 such as this] aren't welcomed. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] 17:25, 11 September 2011 (EDT)

== Article wikifur.com/Fritter ==

GreenReaper,

As of Monday, the 12th of September 2011, my charges have been unconditionally withdrawn by the Crown and Court of Ontario, Canada. On that note, I would like to request my personal information be removed from my article page without threat of moderators such as AshleyAshes re-adding such information. In addition, I would like the note of any mention of the charge be removed, as it now poses as a threat to my future in both personal and professional stances. If you require any written proof, I am in the process of gathering the documentation from the courts and my lawyer notating that the matter has been resolved outright.

In addition, I would like to file a complaint against your moderator AshleyAshes, for personally bringing it upon himself to see that my reputation be tarnished, even after the criminal charge has been dropped. He played the entire matter as though I was guilty from the instant I was picked up, and appears to believe it is still the case though my charge has been dropped. I would like to politely speak with you in private on this matter further, so that these issues may be resolved as cleanly and respectfully as possible. It has been a difficult past 6 months, and I would like to do my best to keep those past 6 months under wraps for the future.

[[User:Fritter|Fritter]] 20:57, 14 September 2011 (EDT)

:Hi Fritter. I am glad to hear that you have apparently resolved this matter. As the information we have is backed by a published news article, some form of reference or document proving what you have said would be appreciated. If it can be proven, I am personally open to removal of the topic from the article about you; however, as we act on consensus and have not faced this exact situation before, I'll sound out the feelings of other editors on the [[Talk:Fritter|discussion page]].

:You might consider contacting the newspaper which originally covered this story to ask them to print an update. I also would be glad to update the [http://www.flayrah.com/3490/furry-fritter-charged-possession-child-pornography Flayrah article on this topic], and/or to post a new story there of equal prominence mentioning the withdrawal of the charges.

:[[User:AshleyAshes|AshleyAshes]] is not a [[WikiFur:Colleagues|WikiFur colleague/curator]] and does not represent the site in any capacity beyond that of a contributor. He also has no more or less power than you have - well, OK, ''technically'' there are a couple of things he can do because your account is new as of yesterday, but he has not been granted any special powers. We encourage all editors to ensure that articles are accurate and comprehensive, although in this case I would have preferred to see an attempt to confirm the information provided rather than immediately remove it.

:In the future, I suggest using the "summary box" above the save page button to provide an explanation of the motivation for your edits to other editors. This will appear on the [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Fritter&action=history history page] as a brief explanation of the edit. Without it, it can be tricky to deal with situations like user A adding information X to an article, user B removing it for a reason in line with wiki guidelines (e.g. a lack of a citation), and user A then adding it in again without giving any response to B's reasoning.

:You are welcome to [[WikiFur:IRC|talk to me in the #wikifur chat room]], or to [[Special:EmailUser/GreenReaper|email me]], but please bear in mind that I am relocating to Texas this weekend and may be away packing up boxes. As mentioned above, policy and article content decisions on WikiFur are made through the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus of editors]], not handed out from above as in most websites, but I would be glad to advise you on how our system works and suggest how best to achieve your goals. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:53, 14 September 2011 (EDT)

== Question about terms. ==

Hello, I'm Targal and EvilDragon. you should know me already, as I was sometime in IRC.

:Hi there! Sorry for the slow reply, I've been busy recently in [[real life]] . . .

1.
Rante has made classification about furry. as I saw it, but his term in the word explaining classification looks something weird.
so I question you looks whether it something uncomfortable or not.

I guess You should know these codes can be seen well on a book of libraries.

http://hellodragon.tistory.com/41

I think It'll be better if they're revised as latin-ous.

:I do not particularly like codes as they are inflexible. For example, it says there that my character has a human body . . . but it is half the height of a human, and in fact the stance is more forward-leaning. It also appears to be redundant to define "divisions" if you have defined "detailed divisions" as it can be calculated from that. Overall, I would ask what is the use of such classification? On WikiFur, we use words, and it works well enough, I think.

2.
is the word "furry" literary style?

this meaning is that the word "Kemono" in Japanese can ba hardly written on novels, because it's something inproper. but the word "Jyujin" having a similar meaning to Kemono is used often than "Kemono" on novels.
likewise the word "suin" in Korean meaning furry and jyujin is also used on a novels, but it's so informal term only used on internet products that it can be written hardly on formal words. (but 'suin' is available half on novels)
for example, you have to write 'yiffy' as 'adult furry things' on a formal paper, because 'yiffy' is a slang.

so, I wonder whether the word 'furry' can be used like that or not.

:"Furry" is an informal term; you will not find it in any official dictionaries . . . yet. It is however used by many conventions and artists to describe themselves. If you want a more formal term for the characters which we focus on, I would suggest "[cartoon] anthropomorphic animal". --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 00:00, 3 October 2011 (EDT)

== Deletion of my article and all other mentions/page/etc ==

Hi! I would like to remove any real mention of me, the article on me, etc. I am now concerned about my privacy and the amount of information available about me on the internet, and would like to get rid of it as much as possible. You can contact me via the email listed in my preferences (I assume this is viewable by you?)

==People to Add==
Hello GR, 
I wonder if you could suggest a direction for the [[:Category:People/People_to_add|People to Add]] list? In particular, what should be done with names that defy a reasonable amount of research? Take "Susan Gui" or "John T Baptist", for example. Neither have any mention within WikiFur, and Google searches combined with obvious words like "furry", "furries", "fursona", "anthropomorphic", etc, produce no relevant hits. Neither do Google Groups searches or trying to guess a Fur Affinity account name.

Should such names be left, or removed?--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:25, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

:I'd suggest removing them, on the basis that placement on the list is only useful if other people know who you're talking about. If the original adder really wants to make that article, they can always do that. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:28, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

== Interesting archive splitting ==

I noticed your separate Admin/Policy + Technical + General categories for your archives. That is neat but it makes me wonder, does it add more work to archiving? Like do you look at each topic one by one and decide where you want to put it? So eventually, the order they are displayed in when split looks different from how they initially appeared in sequence when first posted? I thought about the possibility of adding month-parent single = cats but that is only for standard methods and would clearly overcomplicate in addition to this trinity division. [[User talk:Tyciol|Ty]] 04:29, 29 October 2011 (EDT)
:Yes. It is more work; I do it because I am in a unique situation as many policy decisions and technical questions have been answered on my talk page, and it may be necessary for people to look through the archives to determine the historical basis for a decision (or just to get a general feel for the site's history). This makes it easier for them, as there's less to read through. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:37, 29 October 2011 (EDT)

I was wondering if someone could change that link? (I think his FurAffinity page is still there under TimothyAlbee.)

Thanks for the welcome. I could use some help with the Babysitting Cream page, which is marked as needing to be wikified to match the Furry Book of Style.

:Hmm. There is [[Talk:Babysitting Cream|some discussion]] of that work already. My view is that the topic is suitable, but it's not a good encyclopedia article. It reads more like a game guide. The choice of the section headers "How to play" and "Strategy" and the constant use of "you" are particularly telling. Description of the gameplay is appropriate, but less in the form of "here's what ''you should do''", and more "here's what happens if ''the player does'' X". The article also contains uncited personal opinions about how the game should be improved, stated as fact.

For reasons similar to those of BillyTheCat128 above, I had requested an exclusion, most likely because I had self-edited my page (and I also wanted the history to be purged).

== Babysitting Cream thumbnails ==

It appears that you provided specific thumbnails for the article on the Babysitting Cream game. However, one of the thumbnails was never uploaded (or had the wrong filename), resulting in an ugly bar for the missing image, and the other image was from an earlier version of the game.

I have replaced these using the standard "thumb" feature of the Wiki image reference, allowing the software to generate the thumb by the default method. If you want to rebuild the thumbs, this is a reminder that they are there. [[User:APDamien|APDamien]] 14:13, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

Oh, and thank you for replacing my incorrect version of the start page with a correct one. But... the way you did it doesn't get a full-size image when you click on it, only the thumbnail (with a link to the full image if you look for it). I don't understand how this thumb= stuff works well enough to fix it, so I'll just leave it up to you instead of reverting -- I hate reverts and will only do them for obvious vandalism or where the editor clearly didn't understand the purpose of the article/section. [[User:APDamien|APDamien]] 15:03, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

:Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The thumbnail was deleted because the software listed it as unused and another editor thought it was superfluous. I have noted its use on the file page. The thumbnails are used because indexed PNG thumbs are much more efficient than the full-colour ones made by default. I did a bit more digging and found that I can force a manual link as well as a thumb, so that should work nicely now.

:As for the earlier version image, I replaced it with what I consider to be the "title" screen, which is equivalent to an earlier version of the image. The warning screen might be included too, as a separate image but it seems a little superfluous - maybe just a mention in the text, if anything?

== Policy on self-editing? Just asking for clarification... ==

Hey there. I'm Kashi Commodore, one of the newer associate developers hired to work on Furcadia. A long-time Furc player and Beekin, I've now joined the team at DEP.

I have my own article, which was self-edited to an extent to correct inaccuracies. And I suppose it might be prudent to update it given my new position. That thought has highlighted an idea..

I see a few factual inaccuracies in Furcadia related articles which I'd be happy to correct. Of course, that would be 'self-editing' in a sense and wanted to clarify what the policy is on that. I'm not a marketer or salesperson, and am happy to attempt to cite official sources where possible. But I wouldn't want to invalidate the encyclopaedic purity of the site - merely correct a few errors. I could see how I would not be regarded as impartial. I'm not sure if I can say I would be an 'official' source myself, but I'm certainly as official as you are likely to get, which has it's own pros and cons of course. I could provide examples of what 'inaccuracies' I refer to if that helps.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Kashicommodore|Kashicommodore]] ([[User talk:Kashicommodore|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kashicommodore|contribs]]) .

:Hi Kashi! At WikiFur we recognize that sometimes the best sources of information are those closest to the action. As such, we welcome such edits as long as they comply with the general policy on neutrality. There should be little problem with correcting questions of fact; if it starts getting into what you see as misconceptions of DEP policy or actions, it might be best to mention and reference examples of user views as well as the company's own position. In any case, we'd certainly prefer that you continue to do so under your own name, and to explain your reasons for changes in the summary box (or on the attached discussion page if necessary). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 15:02, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

== Editing protection ==

The edits in question are indeed large, other curators have used this method to prevent editing while making theirs, the pages are only 80% finished, I am not receiving comment on the future status of disambiguation pages, and i'm not using this template as my sole property toy, but to prevent the hanging data from being disturbed until the final edit.

This was done with [[Kitsune]] and [[Vixen]], and after being finished and unprotected, users started to modify the entries as normal. The changes are time consuming, long, tedious and a pain to enter one by one. Common courtesy during a curators edit would be appreciated - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 21:08, 15 October 2012 (EDT)
:This is not "I will be the only one editing this entry forever!" territory. I'm talking large input of material at one, most of the entries from diverse and obscure references (specially foreign). - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 21:14, 15 October 2012 (EDT)

::I [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&limit=500&type=protect can't see evidence of use of this method] to protect personal editing projects. It is primarily used when there is a dispute over articles. If you have a large edit which you cannot complete within a matter of hours, it would be best to prepare it in your user space. I will expand on this in the ongoing discussion. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:16, 15 October 2012 (EDT)

:::Okay, then I will take Sine's suggestion, which is the most logical right know. I will remove (temporarily) the links that are currently not finished (not relinked, but just the ones with name and no description), move them to four folders for the four species/disambiguations on my Wikifur folder, and edit them offline, to be included back at a later time, so I can remove the edit tag, and open them to user traffic as of right now - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 21:25, 15 October 2012 (EDT)

i'm adding some new articles to the italian wiki,but another guy is putting spam around the pages( even the main one),so please block him,my account is "Escofal"(i can't log in to the eng wiki,only to the italian version of the site).That bad guy has an ip like "173.--"

However,a friend of mine posted another question in the eng forum but none has answered yet.

== Editing the Homepage ==

Hello Greenreaper! I'm Valery91Thunder from the italian Wikifur. I'm working with a friend of mine (Escofal, he wrote to you before) to replenish and update the Italian part of the Wiki. We're currently working on adding new pages, but we'd also like to change the layout of our homepage, which is currently looking like this: http://it.wikifur.com/wiki/Pagina_principale . We'd like to create something more resembling to this: http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/WikiFur_Furry_Central . Do you have any useful tips and tricks, or pheraps a link to a tutorial that shows us the best way to modify these pages? We're new, so we're still trying to learn the majority of the code. Thanks anticipate for your interest, we'll be waiting for your kind answer. :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:79.3.154.44|79.3.154.44]] ([[User talk:79.3.154.44|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/79.3.154.44|contribs]]) .

:Hi Valery! I'm glad you want to develop the front page. Unfortunately there is no manual for them in particular - you have to click "edit" and see what is done - but [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Contents|MediaWiki has a manual]] - in fact there are [[Wikipedia:Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual/Introduction|several]].

:On the English WikiFur, we have locked the front page, and are using a feature called [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Templates|template inclusion]] so that the content of the front page is on other pages. Basically, anything like <nowiki>{{WikiFur Central/Something}} is actually at [[Template:WikiFur Central/Something]]</nowiki>. This makes it harder for people to edit it, which is both good and bad . . . we also have the front page sections rotate each week (with edit links to the appropriate week).

:Parts of the front page are on [[Template:WikiFur Central/Header]], [[en:Template:WikiFur Central/Featured]], [[Template:WikiFur Central/Comic of the Week]], [[Template:Upcoming events]], [[Template:WikiFur Central/Flayrah]], [[Template:Did you know]], [[Template:WikiFur Central/FeaturedPicture]], [[Template:Furpile]], [[Template:WikiFur Central/Footer]] and [[Template:WikiFur Central/MetaLinks]]. Most are protected to avoid vandalism (although to varying levels), because English gets a lot of it. There are also versions for screens which are [[WikiFur Furry Central/800|800px]], [[WikiFur Furry Central/650|650px]] and [[WikiFur Furry Central/480|480px]] wide, which have their own templates or re-order them.

:This is probably more complex than we need, and almost certainly more than ''you'' need. Given the size of the community, I would suggest that you consider it a "front page to furry fandom". What would someone new to the fandom want to learn? What Italian-languages resources, in particular, are useful? You can link to major topics, to categories - whatever you have available now. (One example along these lines is [[Wikipedia:Portal:Furry|Portal:Furry on Wikipedia]].)

:I suggest that you don't commit yourself to making sections that you will have to update all the time, especially if only a few people can edit it. If you want a featured section, that's fine - but make it one that you can leave for a few weeks if necessary. There is less chance of deliberate vandalism here. Don't be afraid to link to content elsewhere - if there are popular Italian podcasts/shows/news with RSS feeds, you can display links to them, [[Template:WikiFur Central/Flayrah|like we do for Flayrah]].

:I would also suggest looking at our [[WikiFur:Community Central|Community Central]] page ([{{fullurl:WikiFur:Community Central|action=edit}} source]), and mixing some of this type of material on your front page - as you do with the "new pages" section - because it encourages contribution to these articles, and it is automatically generated. Some of the sections there use [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:DynamicPageList (third-party)|DynamicPageList]]. This is a powerful but complex tool. Try it out, but don't expect it to do exactly what you want straight away! --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:56, 11 November 2012 (EST)

::Hey there! Thanks for the quick reply, this is a lot of info indeed! I'll start looking at the pages you've linked soon, and your suggestion of doing a simpler page instead of a more "real-life updated" one was exactly in my thoughts. We had in mind to add some links to the major furry forums in there in case some new furs wanted a place to meet people and talk. :) Thank you again!

== Protecting the Homepage ==

Hi GreenReaper, it's Valery91Thunder again from the Italian WikiFur, sorry to bother you ^^"
We've successfully managed to edit the homepage, adding a new layout to it, more informations, and so on. We plan on creating the Community Portal as well, soon.
We had another hacker/bot attack, though, that re-edited the homepage. I've managed to restore our version, but still, it's utterly unpleasant seeing our page being changed like that. :( So we finally decided we should add protection to the homepage, but I think, as I'm only a normal user, that I don't have the permissions to do that.
Is there a way, or someone, that we can contact to do it for us?
Thank you again for your time and kindness. :)
:I have protected the main page against edits by anonymous or recently-registered users, and I have granted yourself and Escofal access as colleagues/sysops, since you are the active users at this time. Please use your new powers with restraint. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 16:46, 22 November 2012 (EST)

== MrFoxyPaws ==

Hi and thanks for your comments:

''It is not necessary to use a qualifier such as "(series)" if there is no ambiguity. That said, I don't disagree with the use in this particular case, because it clarifies that it is a series of works.
Bear in mind that editors may choose to merge articles about creative works back into the article about their creator if there is no evidence that they have a significant following of their own (e.g. through publication). Not saying this will happen, just don't be surprised if you see it. --GreenReaper(talk) 18:24, 25 May 2013 (EDT)''

I created 'Boo and Kye' without (series) but reckoned that in the future it was likely there could be ambiguity over 'Frodo' as somebody may create another character of that name; or, equally, a 'Frodo' page might one day cover my fictional character whereas the (series) one would cover the series. So I kinda hovered between using (series) and not using it.

You're right my stories don't have a large following - is it better for me to try and fold them back now? although i'm not totally sure of the formatting for that. I'm more than happy to have a go. I did wonder about this point. I guess that i thought / hoped the number of stories, and that they are a series (with the cast of characters) would lend them some credibility. Also, they're at least of reasonable quality in terms of grammar and spelling etc because that's an interest of mine, having proof-read a novel for a friend. But i'm new to wikifur so happy to follow the guidelines. [[User:Foxypaws|MrFoxyPaws]]
:I'd say leave it as it is if you're comfortable with it now; if anyone feels the need to merge them later, hopefully they'll deal with it without removing any useful information. We most often do this when there is a true "stub" article that will never be of a significant size, just a few lines, but consistency can be a factor as well.

I am new here, somebody made a stub of me here but with wrong information. Trying to be less solitary, I think that maybe I need to correct the page by myself. I just finished so I hope you can check it and approve it or else. My changes do not show in my friends machines but only for me. :(

I hope you can check the page and help me with this. Thank you in advance! :) Pd. this is the page [[Lobocursor_Lyceus]]

-- Lobocursor

:Hi Lobocursor. Thanks for taking the time to contribute to WikiFur! Editors have already had at the article, but here's a few comments:
*[[:File:Lyceus Wikifur.jpg]] doesn't mention who the artist is, which we would like to do. If it is by you, just adding "by himself" is fine.
*We generally don't mention copyright of a character because it is implicit. (Registered trademarks do get mentioned, but more because there is other information that comes with that, and references.)
*The "admin comment" you mentioned in an edit summary was probably an attempt by Spirou to distill your own comment (". . . failed attempt to made a comic strip and novel with them").
*Use of "show preview" and edit summaries for each saved edit are a good idea (we're not always perfect here, either :-).
*You can sign your name and the date on talk pages with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), or use three for just your name, five for just the date.
Edits are ''meant'' to be visible immediately, but sometimes are cached, especially for visitors. I've cleared the cache of the page on our servers, although it may still not be visible for a few hours at your friends' end. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:13, 29 June 2013 (EDT)

==Adding Navbox to the italian Wikifur==
Hello Green Reaper! In order to better sort the pages of the italian Wikifur, I was thinking about adding Navboxes templates under some pages (just like the ones the English Wikifur has under the convention related pages). I've seen, however, that the Navbox template doesn't work unless I install the ParserFunctions extention, which I couldn't install myself (it's way too much for my computer knowledges). Is there a way to make th installation easier, or should it be done by someone else?

Hello. This is user bunnyhugger, though I can't prove it. I forgot my password months ago and have been unable to reset it. I have tried numerous times to have a new password sent, but I never receive the email. The email address on file is probably my ameritech.net address, which is an AT&T address. Unfortunately, AT&T likes to go crazy blocking mail from any IPs they consider suspect. My best guess as to why I do not receive the mail is that AT&T has blacklisted wikifur.com.

Thanks! [[User:Leam|Leam]] 03:19, 18 July 2013 (EDT)

:I've noted your request on [[Talk:Adjectivecat]]. [[Leam]] redirects to [[Adjectivecat]] and so will show the same template; unless you meant [[User:Leam]] (which we can delete outright if you wish, as it's a user page). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 11:29, 19 July 2013 (EDT)

::Thanks. If possible, I'd prefer that both [[Leam]] and [[Adjectivecat]] both have the same template and that Leam no longer redirect. Please go ahead and delete [[User:Leam]]. [[User:Leam|Leam]] 18:26, 20 July 2013 (EDT)

::Hi, GR, maybe I was confusing with my last message or there is something holding up my request? But the "same template" I was hoping to apply to Leam and Adjectivecat is the personal exclusion one. I appreciate that one doesn't redirect to the other anymore, but I'd like them both to be excluded from Wikifur. Thanks, and sorry if I was unclear previously. [[User:Leam|Leam]] 20:01, 27 July 2013 (EDT)

:::The articles were both excluded several days ago; however, the cached versions were not cleared. I have done this now and you should see the exclusion notice even if not logged-in. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:04, 27 July 2013 (EDT)

== Removal(?) ==

Actually, I didn't?. I was working on Disambiguation pages updates. May I have hit a wrong button,... but I was even near the front page since 19:59 Pacific Time, when I changed the block settings for [[W:RingtailedFox|RingtailedFox]]. I'm going to change passwords tout suite, just in case - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:55, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

== Article removal request ==
I'd like you to remove and exclude further creation and editing the article of [[hu:Tanathy]] because he doesn't want to appear any form on any site, and also let any short of information be shared. Both Hungarian admins Neo_21670 and KékPáfrány was asked previously, but it was only proteced from further editing (without any reason). Thanks for your help.

:Hi there. I am aware of this situation; I recently removed protection from the article, and the subject of the article edited it. However, [[WikiFur:Personal exclusion|personal exclusion]] is not a global directive, but specific to those language editions which have decided to use it.

==Sannse censorship==
:[http://animeslaps.wikia.com/wiki/?diff=4268 I'm afraid I will be closing this wiki at the end of the week. I would suggest that you contact GreenReaper of WikiFur, I know that he has helped with hosting in a similar situation.]

I got [http://animeslaps.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Sannse contacted a week ago] with the threats to shut down my wiki because she's insisting that because I'm documenting instances of slapping in anime and stuff that I must be 'eroticizing' it as some kind of 'fanservice' and that it somehow breaks the Terms of Use. I completely disagree and can't find where the Terms are broken but this doesn't seem to matter as she's not budging and seems intent on bringing down the hammer regardless of how many explanations or offered concessions I make.

She asked I contact you for suggestions on how to retain the wiki so I was wondering if you might know. I know how to Special:Export so but this only appears to cover articles but not the image files I was hosting on them. At this point since so many images haven't even been identified (I just raided a blog post where the creator didn't attribute them to specific series/episodes/characters) they're very important to identifying some unknown scenes.

She mentioned something about bots that could download images from a wiki for us. Would you be familiar with how to do this? If not then I guess I have to get to the manual downloading which sucks. [[User talk:Tyciol|Ty]] 06:50, 13 August 2013 (EDT)
:Hmm. Actually, I don't believe I've ever hosted a migrating wiki, apart of course from [[WikiFur]] itself. The [[Uncyclopedia:Forum:Village Dump|Uncyclopedia crew]] have more recent experience of moving from Wikia hosting and it might be best to ask them what they did. My largest contribution to that was [[MediaWikiWiki:Extension:MediaWikiAuth|MediaWikiAuth]], which lets people login and transfer their account from another wiki (and which should actually work with current versions of MediaWiki after their gentle ministrations). [http://wowpedia.org Wowpedia] also left with a lot of files.
:When it comes to a wiki-specific tool for image transfer, you might want to look at [[MediaWikiWiki:Manual:Pywikipediabot/imagetransfer.py|pywikipediabot's imagetransfer.py]]. I haven't used it but if you can whip up a family file for your wiki and a target instance of MediaWiki to put it onto (several hosts offer turnkey MediaWiki installs), it may work. There are many tools you can use to create an image of a site; I'd suggest trying [http://www.httrack.com/ HTTrack] and see how you go if the image transfer doesn't work out. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:54, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

== FurrTrax ==

I made some changes further to the FurrTrax page, incorporating a bunch of edits by someone, as i said not a wiki expert, but i like the way it looks now. If its alright with you, i would like to update the page myself as needed once a month, occasionally a user known as foxxer may also make minor changes as needed. The reason i link to staff is so that there is always a life line of contact for those who need help on the site, or if trouble starts either drama related or malfunctions wise, the word can spread quickly, and people can find out who to contact even if they cannot reach the site. Thanks for the time bro.

== Input requested. ==

Hi Green,

Seems Spirou has gotten involved in an editing dispute where he later used protection and false citations (IE: providing a citation for a fact when the citation is openly stated to be the mere speculation of an individual). I have written a war and peace epic on the topic and would appreciate your guidance, as this kind of behaviour from Spirou is becoming routine much to the dismay of involved editors.

:Having an account would be a start.

==File upload problems==

Good evening, I'm having trouble with a file I uploaded [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/File:Katbox_logo_2.png (this one)]. It had too much whitespace when I uploaded it, but when I cropped it, it came out skewed in the upload. So I uploaded the original again, but then the previous version looked fine, so I reverted, only to have it come out skewed again. Frankly, I'm stumped. Is this something you can fix? I've reverted to the version with too much space for now. -[[User:Captain Video|Captain Video]] 02:11, 15 March 2014 (EDT)

:WikiFur's images are cached and uploading a new one that is a different size under the same name may cause temporary issues because the website is sizing the image appropriately for the current version but your browser is accessing the cached version. I have reverted to the cropped version and cleared all caches relating to that image; it seems to look correct now. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 03:21, 15 March 2014 (EDT)

Hi there,

Thank about the page, Didn't know for sure yet how to do everything.

And the DA page is a mistake with age, I putted 1990 there, but probably something went wrong and since then it's 1989, Even though my real birth is December 17, 1990 ( 23 )

Not sure yet how to change the rest though, Linking the DA, FA and SF page soon too, Could use some help though.

Could I suggest that administrators wait at least 72 hours before going on a deletion rampage. If it is a crime to leave something in the mainspace unfinished for less than 24 hours then I won't do it again. But elsewhere I personally give people at least 2 weeks to work on stuff. Also instead of clicking the delete button, it would have taken him a couple minutes to convert that into a stub. All I'm saying is a little more effort by the administrators would go a long way to encourage others to contribute.

:Yes, it ''is'' a crime to save a page which is just a couple of links without context. If you are "currently" editing an article, intend to return to it soon, but need to make a save for security purposes or because you're changing location, you should use {{tl|inuse}}.
:Curators are there to help if you have problems, and to help ensure that articles are at a consistent level of quality, not to write entire articles based on a couple of links that you found interesting.

:Hi there! The Twitter account is the reference for the fact of where you live. If we remove it, the fact is unsupported, which is not ideal. So, there are two choices: a) find or make another reference for that information, or b) remove or replace that information (say, with "Canada", for which we could reuse the deviantART reference or your other Twitter account). You seem to be fine [https://twitter.com/Zaria_Fluff/statuses/482108460981448705 mentioning it] on that account, so maybe you should just update the location information on it. Also, you should probably update your FA account if you do not wish that Twitter account to be seen by furries, as it links to it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:48, 26 June 2014 (EDT)

:It's an improved version of [[mw:Extension:prettyPhoto|prettyPhoto]]. I put in a few days of effort into fixing bugs and handling our interwiki setup, and that's not yet represented in the current version - it should probably be moved to the MediaWiki core repository for further improvement. I tested Wikimedia's own lightbox/media viewer, but per the [http://wikifur.livejournal.com/96171.html update notice] we're not using it - we don't have their needs, nor their templates (which it relies on for details), and many users dislike it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 13:03, 3 August 2014 (EDT)

:We've come a long way with our current policies. Above all we need to be compassionate, flexible, and communicative about their implementation. It's very easy to start off on the wrong foot, and if there is a failure in understanding on one side - or both - it can lead to unnecessary problems.

:If there is understanding, but not acceptance, that's another matter. Some things are up for debate, but WikiFur is never going to be a free-for-all. (Few successful sites are.) We have tens of thousands of articles, now, and some level of consistency between them is important. Achieving it without treading on too many toes is an important skill for curators to master.

:The decline in contributions appears to be general. People spend more time on social media and less time contributing to group projects. Some sites (such as Wikia) have responded by making editing into more of a game, but I'd prefer to avoid this, as it encourages an "edits over quality" mindset. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:20, 4 August 2014 (EDT)

Well, it's been awhile since it ever got any updates with the current stuff i'd been doing since 2011. [I'd done 3 gallery pieces for Conan O'Brien and TBS. And even got included in the CONAN ART HALL OF FAME.]

I am still doing fuzzy-art off-and-on! [It's been incorporated in my CONAN art.]

But you folks have helped me in the past. So I am holding out a bit of hope that you can help me out now!

I forgot my old account stuff because it's been so long since I used it here. So I had to sign up for a new account over here.

Well, I thought about it when James Hardiman passed away recently. I thought, I am still alive and here and doing some art still. Sure it's been a struggle a lot of times! But I guess I am doing the best that I can.

But I guess I am still here to tell the tale! My email is still mickmoart[at]yahoo[dot]com

So yeah, I wanted to get an update on my stuff...even after Radio Comix and all of that! :D

Thank you so much for helping me.

Some guy just deleted a people page I put time and effort into writing without any sort of warning or consensus. It was an endearing, factual article about a friend of mine which was intelligent and well-written, and in my opinion up to WikiFur standards. I don't understand why anything which may have posed as a problem wasn't simply removed instead of the entire page being rudely deleted.

Could you please have a look at the deleted page and point out any issues to me so that the article may exist and my effort won't go to waste? [[User:Brian vermin|Brian vermin]] ([[User talk:Brian vermin|talk]]) 23:54, 13 October 2014 (EDT)

== User creation ==

Is there anything we can add to the user creation/registration process that wouldn't be much of an inconvenience for real persons but which would trip up spammers/bots? Something like a captcha or an e-mail validation, maybe? There have been more than a hundred new accounts registered in the last two days, enough to clutter up the recent changes quite a bit, and all but a few of them were blocked as expected or confirmed spammer accounts. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] ([[User talk:Mwalimu|talk]]) 16:40, 2 March 2015 (EST)

:We have always had a captcha (the math puzzle, which is custom for WikiFur, and usually works better than ReCAPTCHA), as well as other defenses against automated editing. However, over time, spammers tend to degrade these. I'll be looking at this once I've slept. Requiring an authenticated email address is an option, but it would prevent anonymous editors, which I'd hope to avoid if possible. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:50, 2 March 2015 (EST)

::Is there a way for an admin like me to see what IP addresses were used to create these accounts? If so, I could look through these for any patterns or ranges that could be dealt with using range blocks. I don't expect this would stop all of the spammer accounts, but it might allow us to take out a significant fraction of them. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] ([[User talk:Mwalimu|talk]]) 11:43, 4 March 2015 (EST)

:::You now have access to [[Special:CheckUser]] which should provide you access to this information. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 13:35, 4 March 2015 (EST)

::::All right, I've been running CheckUser on confirmed spammers for about three days now, and have added a few range blocks . One thing I've discovered, however, is that blocking a spammer is not automatically blocking the IP address they used, and within those few days there are some IP addresses that have been repeat offenders. If it's supposed to block the IP, it's not working. Is that something that can be looked into? --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] ([[User talk:Mwalimu|talk]]) 13:11, 6 March 2015 (EST)

:::::Automatic blocks (used if the option to block their IP address is ticks) take action, by default, [[mw:Manual:$wgAutoblockExpiry|for a day]]. That may not be long enough. I will increase it to two weeks. Nowadays it should unblock the IP address if you unblock the person involved. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 13:29, 6 March 2015 (EST)

::::::A day might be long enough for the majority of vandals but it seems much too short for dealing with spammers. I'm using 1 year for the range blocks I've been applying; let me know if you think that's too long (or too short). IP blocks get reassigned, and I have to be especially conservative about blocking wider ranges below /24 (the absolute lowest I'll go is /16 and it might not allow me to go any lower). It's tempting to throw up a /24 block on every spammer IP but I probably won't go that far. As I told Equivamp below, we should be careful not to overblock IPs of potential legitimate users. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] ([[User talk:Mwalimu|talk]]) 13:44, 6 March 2015 (EST)

::::When blocking spammers, could you please select 'Confirmed spammer' as the block reason? That greatly simplifies my task of figuring out which blocked users are spammers for whom I should run checkuser and potentially place an IP range block. Thanks. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] ([[User talk:Mwalimu|talk]]) 14:09, 5 August 2015 (EDT)

===IP range blocking===

I certainly hope that starts to work. Certainly something needs to be done about [[Special:BlockList|this]] and [[Special:Log/delete|this]]; if it doesn't, what are some alternatives? This is cluttering the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] and, honestly, bringing the general productivity of the admins down--any time we devote to the wiki is spent blocking and deleting spam.

How does Wikipedia handle things like this? --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 20:46, 4 March 2015 (EST)

:What I'm finding so far is that spammers use a lot of different IPs. There are some discernible blocks of IP addresses that can be range blocked, but range blocks will probably only catch half of them on a good day. I have to be careful not to block an overly broad range, as that would run the risk of blocking potential legitimate users. I'm also checkusering only the confirmed spammers, not expected spammers, because with the latter I have to assume there's a slight chance they're a legitimate user (it happens; I had one contact me on FA a couple of weeks ago). To your last question, I'm not sure; maybe GR know more, or you could ask over there. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] ([[User talk:Mwalimu|talk]]) 13:11, 6 March 2015 (EST)

:Wikipedia has custom checks, lots of people watching for spammers, and makes heavy use of [[mw:Extension:AbuseFilter|AbuseFilter]] - unfortunately I am not privy to their exact filter settings - as well as the layers of protection which we already have, including most of the standard [[mw:Manual:Combating spam|spam combat techniques]]. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 13:36, 6 March 2015 (EST)

===Account spamming===
Are there any other admins besides me (and of course yourself) who have CheckUser authority? I haven't always been very active on WikiFur for the last couple of years, and as I'm sure you're aware we had a problem with account spamming. Recently I've resumed running CheckUser and adding IP range blocks, which has helped a lot, but now I'm concerned that if I don't visit WikiFur for a few days the account spamming I'll have a lot of cleanup to do when I check in again, and the problem would get steadily worse the longer I'm away. Thus I'm thinking it would be better if there were other admins who have CheckUser authority and know how to use it.

Other questions related to this:
# On a couple of recent days, there have been something like 50 accounts created from the same IP address. Would it be possible to limit how many new accounts can be created from the same IP address per day to no more than one or two?
# I'd be happy to create a page with instructions how I use CheckUser to come up with range blocks, but I'd be uncomfortable with the page being publicly viewable, since it might give away information that spammers could use to evade blocks. Is there a way to make a page viewable to admins only?
# Can we throttle the rate of edits, particularly for new accounts? We've had at least one recent instance of a bot account vandalizing dozens of articles per minute. (A feature to revert all recent edits by one user in one fell swoop would also be helpful in dealing with type of situation.)

== Hey ya green ==

I think I fixed it... so if I have then ignore this

I noticed my websites Page (Fluffywaddles) was vandalized (and someone with the power to protect the page did a revision and locked the page with the vandalism still on there) The owner says "Pol Pot" instead of Spirit Silverwind, this change was made by a ip 69.55.193.129 then Spirou came did a minor edit which doesn't seem to remove the "Pol Pot", Which should be Spirit Silverwind

I don't mind the page being locked and in-fact I recommend it, but could it at least be locked with the correct information :)?

Thanks! for your time.

== Infobox Convention ==

Regarding http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_convention,

I'm curious your thoughts on changing the the convention infobox line for "final" to either be renamed "last", or an additional line for "last" be added.

"Last" would allow ongoing conventions to list a more recent date than their first date, but still allow conventions which no longer exist to list a final date.

I would also like to see a line added for "next", but I honestly don't know if that adds as much value.

--[[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 12:39, 14 January 2016 (EST)

:Hmm! My thoughts on this:
:* The initial goal of this field was to indicate both that a convention has ended. As you say, "Final" is inappropriate for a running convention.
:* The word "Last" has a similar implication to "Final". "Latest" (or "Most recent") might be more suitable. When a convention is determined to have ended, "Latest" would be converted to "Final".
:* Infoboxes should be accurate, like the rest of the article. "Final" is easy enough because it is possible to determine when a series of conventions has ended; but it may be up to a year after. "Latest" could be updated immediately; but it also becomes inaccurate every year.
:Overall I'm in favour of your idea… bearing in mind the caveat that someone will have to update every article using it on an annual basis. (Of course, there may be other updates needed in any case, such as to a list list of convention instances.)
:I think "next" is more suitably presented in the lede; it's the first place the reader looks, and likely to be of more immediate use than when the convention ''has'' occurred. Not having this in the infobox would be a good way of avoiding duplication of that information. When the convention is over, the date currently in the lede can be moved to the new infobox field. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 13:42, 14 January 2016 (EST)

== Requesting Page Deletion and Exclusion ==

Hey,

Was wondering the the page on me could be deleted. I already made a post about this at the help desk but I figured I would reach out directly as I am really keen on getting it down. I would also be interested in having personal exclusion applied to me because, again, I am pretty big on personal Internet privacy. I don't want a stupid thing I did in middle school without a grasp of what an internet footprint was, as well as the subsequent addition of even more information by people who probably mean well, biting me in the ass.

I jumped through quite a few hoops to get back onto this original account from way back when I made the page initially. If you want me to contact you by email as well to make doubly sure let me know.

Massive thanks ahead of time,
Glitch

A group of old friends made this page - [[TD666]] - relating to an old persona I had a long time ago, and at the time I let it slide; but it's a pointless article and no longer holds any relevance or purpose, and I'd rather it wasn't there given it also links to some places that can be used to personally identify people who would probably rather they didn't.

== Removal of page request ==

Hi there. My page is intermittently the subject of anonymous vandalism. Rather than creating more work for you guys, I think it might be easier if I just request its deletion. I hardly think I'm important enough that I need to be on WikiFur, although I am important enough to be attacked apparently.

http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Marko_the_Rat

:I can start [[WikiFur:Personal exclusion|that process]] if you want, but if anonymous vandalism is the problem, wouldn't it make more sense just to protect it from that? We typically do protect pages if that's an issue, and I can see it's been done before. Apparently just not for long enough. I've put it in for six months to start with. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:55, 18 July 2016 (EDT)

== Indefinite IP blocks ==

Please don't use indefinite IP blocks on IP addresses used for [[Wikipedia:Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol|DHCP pools]], as it may inadvertently block other users after the need for the block has passed. Even for servers, IP addresses may change hands, but it happens on a near-daily basis for addresses used for IPv4 addresses shared by DSL and mobile subscribers. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 11:01, 5 February 2017 (EST)

::You ''can'' just search for the IP address and click links until you get to a whois result for that IP address, but if you want to be more precise, go to https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/ and select "Search resource objects in all available databases", then enter the address into the query box (not the one at the top right) and hit "Search". That should give you the full address block which that address was allocated from (as "route") and the organization responsible for it. You can usually find out fairly quickly whether it's an residential ISP or a server host by searching on the name. If it's ''clearly'' a server, it might be worth blocking the entire block for a year, because we shouldn't have edits from servers. If it's an ISP - and it's actually necessary to block, not just revert and warn - block the individual IP address for hours/days/weeks as appropriate. If that doesn't work, try moving up to the IP range block(s) [e.g. "1.2.3.4/23") they used as identified by the query results, but I'd suggest only blocking for a few days/weeks unless absolutely necessary because others using those IP addresses won't be able to edit - that can be up to 65536 addresses per block for a /16. Also, be aware that a range-block message will be shown to anyone from that range who clicks "edit", not just the person who caused the range to be banned. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:01, 6 February 2017 (EST)

== A "New" Furry ==

Hello sir. I am a "new"furry and am curious if the rumor is tru that furries sometimes use actual fur for their fursuits. I am realy anti-fur and would second think joining and supporting this fandom if ever. Thanks nonetheless Greenreaper.

== Updating an old article (also hello!) ==

Hey GreenReaper, long time no speak!

After some five years on hiatus from the fandom I've opted to start making my return. Whilst it's probably not smart to jump right back into adminning on WikiFur (and don't worry, I'm not), I think it would be a nice start to update [[Alexander Grey|my very own article]] with five years of changes. I'm bringing this up to you because a *lot* of stuff has changed on my end, including my legal name and gender identity. Additionally, the actual Alexander Grey has been demoted to being one of a roster of characters rather than a fursona, so I'd probably be moving the article elsewhere too given it's regarding a person and not a character. Similarly, I'd probably remove a lot of content regarding character history, evolution, etc. to refocus it on just myself as an individual.

If you've no problem with any of that, cool! Otherwise, how're you doing? {{:User:AlexanderGrey/sig}} 15:36, 10 May 2017 (EDT)

Now a days if I’m unsure about whether something should be reverted or not I err on the side of caution and leave it to someone more experienced or ask on the article talk page. —[[User:FrostTheFox|FrostTheFox]] ([[User_talk:FrostTheFox|talk]]) 17:41, 18 March 2018 (EDT)

== Delete Request ==

Heya, I had created a page for myself a long time ago as opposed to just making an account info page. http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Deretto_Eevee
If possible I'd like to have the page removed because it's grossly out of date. If you'd like to confirm my identity you're welcome to message me on (Deretto) on Inkbunny or twitter. --[[User:Deretto|Deretto]] ([[User talk:Deretto|talk]]) 02:25, 22 March 2018 (EDT)

== Requesting page removal ==

I don’t know if you’ve received my email, but a few days ago, I asked for the page “Kizuna-P” to be deleted. I’m getting frustrated that still no one is taking action about this. Please remove the page as soon as possible.

== Request For Personal Exclusion ==

Hello,

Please exclude the following page entry about me from WikiFur: http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Darmon_C._Thornton

The reasons for exclusion are for personal privacy and career/professional concerns, as I've been informed that the article is the fourth link related to my name on a Google search. I left furry fandom in 2002 and I've had no involvement since. I don't hate furries, and no longer have any interests in the fandom itself. Please reply to me via email at [Darmon DOT Thornton AT Gmail DOT com] should you need to contact me for verification.

Sincerely,

Darmon Thornton

== Request Removal of Phrixus page ==

I used the email page to try and contact you but have heard nothing. I realize this is not your job, but I figured the SPF record might have had a thing or two to say about it. Regardless, I would like the article of Phrixus removed from the wiki, and I no longer have the email associated with the old account that created it.

they changed things like ''chief of news'' to ''lap dog'' and other vile things like this and frankly im sick of it. i was hoping you could lock my page so only me and other admins can edit it. please help me. i have a small following of fans and i believe im starting to become a target

== Please remove this page about me ==

Hello, I was made aware some years ago that a page was made about me when I was part of the fandom with my full DOB and residential information about me. At the time I asked if it could be (and tried to have it) removed it and in the end it was agreed to at least remove my full DOB (which I still don't know how whoever posted this got).

I'd like to just have the whole page removed if possible. I never wanted this and it really freaks me out to this day that someone made this page. All the related links are dead or non existent and I would rather not have this pop up every time someone googles my old usernames. (this happened recently) The page in question is the one below. Please refer to the fact that all the related accounts/references don't exist any longer.

== Would you mind removing my accounts? ==

Hi there, Foxen here...I'd like to have the article of "Foxen B. Perry" removed and not be apart of your site any longer simply because it's outdated and people are using it to harass me and it contains my birthday and old location in the United States. I've also changed and become more of a private person and gone into therapy and afraid my therapist will come across my old drawings and have been doing everything I can to remove everything until further notice. I created the Wiki when I was still pretty young and dumb and didn't realize it would attract so much attention.

Also if you could remove the accounts of "Foxen1985" and "FoxenBPerry80s" I'd love that too..I do not want anything too personal up online any longer... you have my private email address on file I think?

I do apologize if this comes off as a little rude... I'm just wanted to be more of a private person.. please and thank you and have a wonderful day :)

I was looking for website templates and found this whole section rather overwhelming. Since I created a new template (for Flickr) and found out there was already one for Weasyl, I decided to try organizing the User Page Templates a bit. However, since I'm not sure if that's supposed to be protected or not, I did a mockup in my [[User:GingerM/Sandbox|sanbox]]. If you like it, I can cut-n-paste the whole thing into the Templates/User_Page_Templates page. I may have a look at the other template sub-pages and see if they need organizing as well.

Hello. I am Charem, the one who https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Charem is written about.

This page is both severely outdated and severely unprofessional. Also, I'm currently under attack on other websites and this page and what's on it is being used as ammo against me further.

I made an edit removing most of the information and asking for page closure to immediately remove this legitimate problem, but a staff member reverted the page back to how it was before and insisted I contact a creator. So here I am.

I would appreciate my page simply being blanked/closed for the time being, until I can update it more thoroughly. I really hope this request can be responded-to quickly. Thank you.

If my identity needs to be proven, please contact me at any of my known contacts and I can verify this request.

==Proposed 'spammer' tag for informal patrollers to use==
I've noticed a fair number of spam articles of late so I've created a template to mark them as such, since I am not an admin (nor do I wish to become one! :D). My thought is that this gives other editors a way to quickly mark a spam article / spamming user for curators to take a look at if deletion and/or blocking is needed. The template is <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Spammer|Spammer]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>. I'm putting this suggestion to each of the curators; I hope this is a useful tool. If not, feel free to delete it.

== OverGryph, Gryphons of the Mist, GRPG, and probably others, all request to be deleted or history edits removed please! ==

Hi. I can't login, and it's redirecting me to fandom.com to login, but anyway, this is OverGryph. Check my IP. I'm making a web series out of Gryphons of the Mist, so I want these entries to be removed to avoid confusion. Think you can help me out? Here are all the wiki entries I want deleted: Gryphons of the Mist, GRPG, GRPG:SE, Brute gryphon, Bane Sylvr, Gryph Sylvr, OverGryph. I think that's all of them. I want them to disappear off the face of the Earth so my original animation can have a fresh start, and these entries won't show up on Google search anymore. Please assist!

Update:
Green Reaper, I made a few pages on wikifur over a decade ago. It appears my user account is disabled so I can't log in. The page I've been working on is https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/OverGryph I would like to have it deleted since the edit history can be searched up on Google. I've changed the story a lot since I made the wikifur page, and by simply existing, the wikifur page is sabotaging my life's work. Can you help me out and remove all traces of OverGryph and Gryphons of the Mist? You can reach me on twitter @griffwoods or you can just edit the discussion page of https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/OverGryph thanks

== Request for Exclusion ==

Hello,

I am requesting that the article [[Naia Okami]] be excluded. ([http://naia.me/request-for-exclusion verify request]) Thank you --[[User:Naiaokami|Naiaokami]] ([[User talk:Naiaokami|talk]]) 17:17, 25 June 2022 (EDT)

== Interwiki link request for pool.wikifur.com ==

Hey, GreenReaper. Wanted to reach out as I'm working on sprucing up the [https://en.wikifur.com/FurryConventionMap.html Furry Convention Map]. While doing so, I was looking to add an edit summary that linked back to another WikiFur page ([[The Menagerie]]) but discovered that the script for the map is hosted on https://pool.wikifur.com, so a standard internal link won't work. I thought it would be good to suggest the addition of an [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links#Interwiki_links interwiki link] addition to Wikifur, i.e. <code><nowiki>[[wikifur:The Menagerie]]</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>[[wf:The Menagerie]]</nowiki></code>. This does not yet appear to be implemented on the pool subdomain, per its [https://pool.wikifur.com/wiki/Special:Interwiki Special:Interwiki] page.

I know this is a bit of a niche request, but it would be a quick change that allows for easy navigation between links in edit summaries on this subdomain. Thanks for your time! [[User:JaredTheWolf|JaredTheWolf]] ([[User talk:JaredTheWolf|talk]]) 17:00, 6 July 2022 (EDT)

== Put my email. ==

Good evening, sorry I would like to put my email in preferences but they won't let me do it, maybe you can help with some option?
Thanks.

== Disable account ==

Hey there, I'd like to disable my account as I no longer use it. Thanks!

== please delete FlayrahNews tweet with incorrect URL ==

1) please delete @FlayrahNews tweet https://twitter.com/FlayrahNews/status/1598324108990861312
In the Flayrah newsbyte/tweet, I forgot to delete "whatever.com", so the URL in tweet is screwed up. (middle of night here) I have posted corrected Newsbyte which looks good at Twitter. 
2) redlink (File:B26613F2-C44B-4458-82F7-706FC3C427D9.jpeg) at top of this talk page. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] ([[User talk:EarthFurst|talk]]) 09:47, 1 December 2022 (EST)

== More Spambots! ==

Hey GreenReaper. Just letting you know that there are a few spam accounts trying to peddle some weird CBD pills or something. Yeah, found them while I was browsing recent changes.

Could you like, use your magic Minish powers to block them? Possibly a checkuser as well? That would be great.

Sorry if this post seems way too casual. [[User:Explodi-Gray-Tor|Explodi-Gray-Tor]] ([[User talk:Explodi-Gray-Tor|talk]]) 04:14, 5 December 2022 (EST)

== i wanna change my email ==

i wanna change my email to my gmail but “Account email addresses can only be changed manually at this time. Please contact User:GreenReaper to request a change.“

== Personal Exclusion ==

Please remove this page: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Chase_(Fur_Affinity_administrator). Thank you!

== Personal exclusion request, and update request. ==

I would like my page Kiki_Foxkitty to be removed due to being very outdated, and for having too much personal info.

https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Keaton_Foxkitty

The DirtyFurs page can stay though, but the data in it is also very outdated as the LiveJournal has been abandoned for several years, and the IRC channel has been long abandoned as well. Most activity concerning the group is handled through the FurAffinity page nowadays.

== Deleting User:Shub-Yoggoth ==

This is Shub-Yoggoth. I have lost my password and access to the account's e-mail. Please advise if there is an alternative way in verifying that I am the original user in question. I was told to contact you via Spirou as he told me you could help in this matter.

== Request for exclusion / page removal ==

Hello there, I am the creator of the page for my previous handle Paroapockinroo. Since changing my handle and due to most of the information on the page no longer being relevant, as well as personal reasons including previous harassment I am kindly requesting the deletion / full exclusion of the page Paroapockinroo.

== Re-Inclusion on WikiFur ==

Hi there,

This is Lexicon. I'd like to have my wiki page on here reinstated, as I had it voluntarily excluded a few years ago, but decided to change my mind. I did have an account here on WikiFur back in 2016, but I have no idea what it was called. Also, is it possible to have my page renamed to simply "Lexicon"? I don't use the "Tōhin" surname anymore. 
This is my wiki page: [[Lexicon Tōhin]]

Thanks, 
Lexicon
