== RBW event status ==

:''Regarding [[User talk:Foxberance#Convention vs. party vs. event]]''

As the main organizer for both the 2007 and 2008 RBW conventions i would like to point out that we ARE a convention.

We have in fact a number of specific tracks for fursuiting, spiritual Furs, art, and general entertainment. We also are based at two location. The 'Party' aspect being held on the boat on the Saturday evening along with the more traditional programming being held at the main venue throughout Saturday and Sunday. 2007 and 2008 have specific affiliated hotels to the convention. RBW as of 1st July will be a registered UK charity and LLP As myself (Foxb) and Rapido as the chairmen.

For 2008 we are holding the event at a major and yet to be disclosed venue in London across 4 days. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Foxberance|Foxberance]] ([[User talk:Foxberance|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Foxberance|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

:I'd like to see what other people think of this, so I'll bring it up as a question on the [[Talk:Red Blue & White|appropriate talk page]]. I would note that there is no mention of a hotel on your website, and in fact the only thing it says about accommodation is that it is not provided as part of the registration. The term "track" is also generally used to refer to several things happening simultaneously in different locations rather than one after the other. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

==Newspaper Articles==
Hi GR. Just writing wondering if you can clarify the way articles on newspaper pieces should look?

Sine has gone and removed the italicization of the title from two entries I put in today: [[Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My‎]], [[March of the Furries]]. (I'd originally copied the format from an earlier article about a Denver Westword piece: [[Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits]].)

Is Sine's way correct? (It seems to be, I think Sine is using an accepted style, but I thought I'd double-check before spending time going through the list of Media Coverage articles and standardizing them all - there are few in there that italicize the title).

Also, some articles on newspaper/magazine columns have the "(year) events" category whilst others don't. What's the correct thing here?
-- [[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 20:56, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

:I would generally agree with this. The titles of newspaper articles are typically encased in quotes if there is a need to offset them from the text. Given that they are already bolded (being the title of the page) this is probably not necessary. We would italicize the name of the publication.

:It's tempting to suggest that we should use [[:Category:News by date]] for this, but it's probably a good idea to keep the two concepts separate. We do have the [[Timeline of media coverage]] for non-furry media. I don't think the date categorization really adds much in this case, so it could be removed (they're not really an event). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

==Bad Redirect==

Hello. Using http://www.wikifur.com leads to the page http://furry.wikia.com/wiki , which is a 404 Not Found. Been like this for a few weeks I think, but not before. What's going on, I'm scared! -some furry

:Hi there! This is due to an upgrade which broke a couple of features, including the redirect from that address.

''Greetings Sentient, The entity Saboteur and the entity Iratus have been been deleted. Make no further Contact, As their memory Matrix are now both mine and currently under Investigation. I am sorry this has caused you problems. Take care. 1707<Umbra>-Security A.I. of Halopedia''

Sorry for that, It's more for effect, anyways, down to buisness. I am aware You had 2 Users by the names of '''Saboteur''' and '''Iratus''', and that they both apparently vandalized pages of your Site. I Regret to inform You that these were both the same Person. And I know exactly who (I cannot say his name due to privacy rights). I work on Halopedia mostly at my school, and as a result, I had a bonehead who watched what I was doing. He did not like me much and as a result, created a account and vandalized my page. When we booted him, he must have moved onto you page and vandalized your files. (As why your Site, He hated anything that was not gangsta or of gangster style and just ran across your site.) I regret all that has happened and hope for the best the damage was minimal(May I ask How bad The Damage Was? He usually like rape,porn and sex related "Stuff"). If you wish to contact me, Leave a message on this site, or more preferably on Halopedia on the Userpage WRAITH as I will likely forget this site and you message! Anyways I lok forward to seeing you in the future and wish you the best of Luck.

== WTF!?!? ==

You know, you've really demonstrated why I made the right choice to get the hell away from you furries.

I posted a warning about a person who vicitimized me, abused me, left me in a horrible financial situation, and even said he plans to kill someone, all of these FACTS, and you accuse me of attacking someone and delete the post, and don't even bother to contact me.

What the F*** is the matter with you?

Fine, to hell with you if you want to shield Siege, and let him continue to attack other furries. Your name will go down with a list of many others once Siege is put in jail for felony assault, fraud, domestic abuse and much more and the truth is known, the truth I am trying like hell to get out.

You can't imagine how pissed off this makes me feel. Every where I turn, there's Siege, lying, being protected, being allowed to, enabled, to abuse and possibly kill people because people like you can't have the common decency to check things out.

Why didn't I post proof? First, I didn't see a way to post images. Second, I can't legally post Siege's father's phone number. Third, I can't legally post the name of his employer so that that lie can be verified. Fourth, what the hell sense does it make for me to post the name and location of the person Siege has threatened to kill? What are you, f*ing stupid, or do you WANT to see him killed? Is that the only way you people will see the truth; or will you find some way to blame that on me too?

You know, its bad enough that Siege f*ed me over; took advantage of me, abused me, deprived me of my ability to finish college, much less survive; took away my ability to be financially independent (I'm disabled)...now I have to continue to be victimized by you, Maui, and all the other people who believe a sociopath over a victim.

I want you to do me, and yourself, and the furry community a HUGE f*ing favor. Try to imagine how I feel, what I"m going through...its quite easy, just pretend in that brain of yours, that what I said was all factual. If you can do that, if you can imagine what it was like for me, then you will understand how difficult it is to restrain myself from going totally off on you for this. {{unsignedIP|4.242.147.72}}

:What you posted was an essay, not an encyclopedia article. It was purely intended as an attack on the character of its subject and contained several unsubstantiated statements from your point of view. ''Regardless'' of whether or not it was true (something that none of us could have proved to our own satisfaction from the zero references given), it was not a good article. General policy in this case is to delete unsubstantiated attacks and stick with the bare minimum of facts that we can confirm. As none of it was referenced, the entire article was deleted (by [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Siegewolf another administrator], I might add - but I do agree with him).

:WikiFur is not the court of Internets justice. Nor is it our job to "check things out". If you wish to make such statements on WikiFur, it is ''your'' job to provide us with all the sources necessary to do so without risk. If there is a serious problem then you should go to the real world police and talk to them - and any action that they take will provide a series of referencable documents that can be used in the construction of an article, if necessary. If you want to make an assertion of facts that you cannot provide third-party proof for then you should do so on your personal web page or journal. This is not the place for it, any more than an issue of Encyclopedia Brittanica would be the place to announce new research or accuse someone of corruption.

:Ultimately, we do not wish to be responsible for defaming someone. Unless what you say is true, defamation is exactly what your essay is, and we're not willing to take that risk just on your word. There is a big difference between saying "Person X says this" and "we say this" - and your essay was the latter. If we say bad things about someone, we must take reasonable care to assure their accuracy, and that is why we insist on references in such cases - so that we can attribute accusations and base our own statements on verifiable facts. Without such proof, we risk opening ourselves up to legal liability for publishing statements with reckless disregard as to whether or not they are true. See the bottom of [[Sibe]] for the level of referencing that is considered appropriate. That article is not perfect in other ways, but we are at least reasonably sure that the statements within it are accurate and that we won't get sued for it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

We're always looking for original reporting, especially from reporters who's writing is as strong and interesting as yours. -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 19:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

: Sure, as long as Wikinews doesn't mind it going up here as well. I may decide to condense the end result somewhat for Wikinews, as I plan to make several shorter posts here as ongoing coverage. Others may also be writing about it, but [[WikiFur:WikiFur News|WikiFur News]] is [[WikiFur:Copyrights|dual-licensed CC-BY-2.5]] so there should be no problem with that. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:12, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

:: <s>Just thinking, you have to tell people WikiFur News contributors that any changes they make to your article on this site are co-licensed as CC-BY, not just the normal GFDL.</s> As soon as I typed that, I read about the dual licensing, that's great! I don't know why the Wikia default is GFDL, instead of Creative Commons, GFDL is such a weird license, since you technically have to reprint a whole three-page document with even just a sentence excerpted.

:: Yeah, whatever length or format you'd like.

:: I've published the article about the play, and tacked on a "in other news" bit from [[News:Anthrocon selects Animal Friends as 2007 charity|this article]], just to highlight the whole charitable element. Thanks! -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 14:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

::: Hi, I've asked the anon on their talk page, about [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fursuit&diff=prev&oldid=131464305 this edit]. Hopefully they reply.

::: Great article on the con on Wikinews, I've reworded a little teeny bit here and there, and added a definition of what a fursuit is. (When I posted your play article, people were entirely dumbfounded what a furry is, which is I guess better than the default response so many have.

::: I've added Lucky Coyote's pic to the fursuit article on Wikipedia. Do you know Blondefoxy to any extent? Presumably she has no qualms against the picture use, however I had asked a few weeks ago if she'd release a picture of Lucky or Lucky + Skuffy(?) under a Creative Commons license for Wikipedia, no reply. I don't want to peave anyone off... -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 16:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

::::Thanks for adding your clarification to [http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Anthrocon_2007_draws_thousands_to_Pittsburgh_for_furry_weekend the article]. Sometimes it's hard to know what things do or don't need further explaining in the body text (the article was already very long, so I was hesitant to put in much more exposition). I didn't know you posted the one about the play; I've added that to the related news section.

::::I must admit that I do not know Blondefoxy/[[Lucky Coyote|Lucky]] personally, and indeed I did not know that was another name of hers. Most fursuiters tend to be fairly happy about people showing off their costumes, though, and Lucky was one of those actively participating in group skits and posing for pictures. You could try the other contact details on her [http://bloody-kryptonite.deviantart.com/ deviantART account] if you really want to contact her about it.

==Question from RVDDP2501/possible new article==

Hey GreenReaper, listen, I'm sorry to bother you. I just found out on the internet about some new comic book from Image Comics called "The Astounding Wolf-Man", there is a rather small page about it on wikipedia.org. my question is should there be an article about it here as well, I've never asked about making a page here about something on wikipedia before so I'm not sure about my place here in asking this question or if there is even a need to make one, I just thought I'd ask considering the subject matter of the comic since it deals with well a werewolf. I hope I haven't bothered you with my (hopefully not a stupid) question, ok then, see ya and I look forward to your question - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 01:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

:Tricky question. I'm not sure there is a need, since it doesn't really seem all that furry to me. I could be wrong, but it seems to be more of a classical werewolf/vampire/creatures of the night thing. A reviewer [http://www.ifanboy.com/archive/weblog/ifanboy_preview.html didn't think much of it] on its giveaway in [[Wikipedia:Free Comic Book Day|Free Comic Book Day]]. Here's some [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=11010 pictures from issue 2]. I'd personally give it a few more issues to see if it turns out to have any kind of a lasting impact, or starts to go beyond the "oh me, oh my, I'm a werewolf, I have super powers to do good and/or evil" genre. But that's just me. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 03:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

== Wikipedia Extinctioners Page ==

Hey GreenReaper, I was wondering if I could ask your opinion or help on the Wikipedia Extinctioners page. The Page had a second deletion debate and survived but in the process, all links to the Wikifur page were removed, I was wondering what can be done, can a link to the main page be put back in the external links section? there was this huge wikifur link removal thing which I only heard bits and pieces about which I think was envolved with the links being removed. I would really like to put back the link since the wikifur article has much better coverage on the topic but I just don't know if doing so would restart the removal process or threaten my membership with wikipedia. What do you think I should do? Oh, here is the link to the question posted by Labfox - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Extinctioners#Wikifur_Link - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 21:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

:If you think a link is good you should put it back. If it gets taken out again, take it to the talk page.

== Request from RVDDP2501 (New Category) ==

Hey GreenReaper, I'm sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you maybe able to do something for me, I was wondering if you could create a new category for the extinctioners characters, specifically those who have appeared/debuted in a side comic called "Artic Blue" in the Extinctioners universe. The characters who have or will appear are the [[Extinctioners#Fem_Fatales|Fem Fatales]], [[The Cerberus Brothers]], [[Vincent Blackphox]], [[Reggy Bryghttail]] and a few others who will come later. You can view these comics at the extinctioners website or on Shawntae's art pages at deviantart.com or furaffinity.net.

Just re-posting what I put in the talk section of that page, in case you didnt check: It's not personal drama any more than the "Krystal Meme". Trust me, this has effected a LOT of furaffinity members. I added it because I thought people out of the know needed a place to find out what was going on without having to wait for the monstrous page to load, or hear about it from biased, or angered sources. It has already reached LiveJournal and EncyclopediaDramatica, a place I doubt one can find unbiased furry news. It has spawned numerous pictures of its own, but no, lol, it hasnt necessarily caught the newsworthy eye of Vinci and Arty..-- [[User:AnonIhmus|AnonIhmus]]([[Usertalk:AnonIhmus|talk]])

Not that it matters, but just fyi- this effected at least a thousand people, not one. I kinda said before it effected a lot of people, not just the journal poster, but people who saw it, people who heard about it and so on...It also made its way into 2 The Ranting Gryphon's show. ~Anon Ihmus

Hey GreenReaper, sorry to bother you but I was wondering if I could ask your opinion and help with something, I am in the process of creating a character page for a character who will soon appear in the Extinctioners Artic Blue Webcomic called "Neige Unuulaq (Frostbite)" who was originally created by [[Rei Vegan]], my question is in regards to an image created by Rei Vegan, a model/reference sheet for Frostbite - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/427311/ - Rei Vegan has given me permission to create the character page as well as use this reference sheet in the page but what do I do about the licencing info, do I need to get a licence from wikifur to use art by Rei Vagen? - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 03:07, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

You might also want to check out some of the [[WikiFur:Featured articles/Complete|featured articles]] to see how good articles are written and presented (click the '''bold''' links on that page for the full articles). Obviously, most articles about people are unlikely to be featured, because there's only so much you can say about one person, but it's a target. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

== "See also" Re: "How To Be a Furry" ==

"''It is a WikiFur article''". Yes, but don't we follow that "See also"s links should be reserved to "related" Wikifur articles?; In this case, [[Crush! Yiff! Destroy!]], [[LOLfurries]] and [[Furfags.com]] are "related" due to their purpose and function; on the [[Drama]] article, [[Fursecution]] and [[Schadenfreude]] are "related" on the "See also" for their meaning and intent; On the [[Anthropomorphic]] article, etc, etc,..

Right now, [[How To Be a Furry]] is the odd man out on a "See also" that lists related web sites with this type of content, hence the "See also"s directs to '''related''' Wikifur/Wikipedia/Wiki articles and entries only''. Didn't say it was not a Wikifur article, just that needed to be "related." [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:03, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

: I placed [[How To Be a Furry]] under CYD's "See Also:" because CYD hosts the main online version of the article, and it's a satire article about furry drama and the [[furry fandom]] in general, which is certainly in CYD's domain. If CYD thought the work fit their motives enough to be hosted on their site, then that's related enough to CYD for my tastes. [[User:Jigsaw Forte|Jigsaw Forte]] 03:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

::CYD hosts a plethora a articles, images and miscellany in the vein of "How To Be a Furry." Adding all of them would just cluttered the "See also," or just having this article listed on the SE, and not the rest would seem to be favoritism. The CYD article could mentioned "How To Be a Furry" on the article itself, as a solution, which I can quickly edit in right now to see how it would look [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
::: Fair enough; CYD article looks fine with it in, and association is still made between the two articles. That should work. [[User:Jigsaw Forte|Jigsaw Forte]] 03:48, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

::::Aye. By the by, not antagonism was intended when I pointed out and made the first edit on your addition, just trying to follow the Wiki's ways of data presentation and formatting (which I still stumble over from time to time) =) [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks for noticing, ==

I just added a little bit of information to the [[MewYear]] page.
I might add some more at a later time if some hasn`t done it by then already. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:O kill|O kill]] ([[User talk:O kill|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/O kill|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

== Strange layout issue ==

Hi GreenReaper,
I've just been tinkering with the [[Furfire]] article which for some very odd and unusual reason was causing the entire Wiki CSS layout to collapse in a rather horrible way (See [http://users.bigpond.net.au/coles/Data/strangelayout.png image]). The strange thing is that it only seems that it only affected the most recent revision of the article despite there being the same markup in the article. (I originally noticed something wrong with [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Furfire&oldid=167083 rev. 167083] but when I look at it in the history the layout appears to be just fine.

The bit of markup that I believe to be possibly suspect is:

<code><nowiki><div style="float:right">__TOC__</div></nowiki></code>

Once I removed this it appeared to come good. Does this make any sense to you why this would happen? I even dropped over to IE7 just in case my version of Firefox was on the fritz, but it persisted there too.

It looks like it's fixed now - but I still feel that that was really quite odd. -[[User:Composingliger|Composingliger]] 14:39, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

:This is due to a problem with the cached version of such pages when edited by either anonymous users or users with the wikiwyg system turned on, which incorporates additional markup into the page. The root cause is that it encloses things in a span and half of the div is within the span. I had hoped they would have fixed this by now, but it appears not. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 15:16, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
::Alright, in that case I guess there's not all that much more that can be done that hasn't already been fixed. Thanks for the clarification. -[[User:Composingliger|Composingliger]] 15:31, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

== Request for complete removal ==

Hi Green.

For personal reasons, I wish to have [[Quilrynn]] and all revisions of that article purged from the database and have it protected with the exclusion notice.

Also, I would like [[Moeryl]] to be excluded as well. --[[User:JKM]], 10/27/2007, 11:05 CDT

Hello.

I would like to request for removal of http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Sarafina.jpg as being a personal offensive hoax submitted by some hater. This is not my photo! :( Also i would like to ask you to remove http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Image:SaffyWowMeSm.jpg as is was a beta-version of some early art posted without my permission thus violating the copyright law. Also the history of http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Sarafina_(artist) contains a hoax personal information(real name and adress) that is highly offensive to me. Please, purge it from data base.

== Name redirects ==

FYI: I left messages for Spirou to stop reversing the removal of my real name as a pointer to my wikifur entry.

See http://drewkitty.livejournal.com/238637.html for verification.

If you feel comfortable taking care of this yourself, please do. I don't have confidence that he will without drama.

Thanks.

:I have deleted the redirects concerned. I think it is excessive to blame Spirou for not doing so the first time. Removal of personal information is something we take seriously, but we are going to make reasonably sure that we're talking to the person concerned first. An anonymous edit is not sufficient. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== Timeline of media coverage ==

Am I correct in assuming you did not intend to remove all of the pre-2007 material from [[Timeline of media coverage]]? --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 13:49, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

:Yeep, no. Chalk that up to not checking I was editing the right thing after a browser restart. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

== Hi! ==

Uhm hiya. I'm new here to this Wiki, but I have been a furry for a while, and I'm kind of clueless when it comes to Wikis. How do I start off? ^^;

[[User:Toshiro Kitteh|Toshiro Kitteh]] 17:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

:Hi there, Toshiro! Probably the best way is to have a look at the [[help]], including our [[WikiFur:Policies and guidelines|policies and guidelines]], and then read some of the [[WikiFur:Featured articles/Complete|featured articles]] (not just the summaries) to get a good idea of the sort of material that makes a good article. You can click Edit on any of these pages to see how they were put together.
:After that, consider making a few edits to an article yourself. Some people start by trying to write an article about themselves in the third person (i.e. [[Toshiro Kitteh]]), but it is by no means a requirement. You might just want to use your [[User:Toshiro Kitteh|user page]] to describe yourself more personally - or you might not want to write about yourself at all, but something that interests you. If you want to write about something that doesn't yet have an article, just find or add a link to it in another article, and then click it to start the page (you can also just change the URL, reload, and click edit, but then it might not be linked to anything). Adding to or making corrections to existing articles is just as useful, though. You can find various suggestions on the [[WikiFur:Community Central|Community Central]] page.

Look at it before the end of the week, when they take it private. Stumbled across it in an ad industry email newsletter, thought I'd drop by, just in case you thought it was worth mentioning in Wikifur. -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 15:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

:Hehe, yeah . . . they actually made a [http://www.dailymotion.com/related/3061393/video/x3dei2_orangina_ads whole video out of it] which made the rounds a week or so ago. Perhaps it'll help attract new blood to [[FranFurence]]! ;-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 16:13, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

== Dalhusky the dog here. ==

Hello, GreenReaper. It has been about three years since I wrote that "Furry Irony" post.
At this moment, I am somewhat of a different person now than I was when I posted that article. I cannot easily explain what I mean by that. I am a very complicated person.
----
But what I am trying to say is that I have been blown away by the fact that so many people like to hate and bash people like me for being aroused by a cartoon picture or a real animal. I have certain [[Zoophilia|likings]] that even many furries detest. I also bailed out of a troll war on YouTube and canceled my MaxSnowDog account in hopes of removing some terrible baggage recently due to my trying to tell people about my beliefs with regards to [[zoophilia]] and getting threats along with a very stupid E.D. article about me. Maybe we could talk together sometime because I would rather chat than post because of the way I'm feeling currently.
