<hr />
<div>[[Image:Kemono.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Daily life of a kemono-style canine at work. Artwork by [[User:Sugandya]]]]'''Kemono''' ([[Wikipedia:Japanese language|Japanese]] &#29539; or &#12369;&#12418;&#12398; "beast") is a genre of [[Wikipedia:Japan|Japanese]] art and character design that prominently features animal-like fictional characters in human-like settings and situations. It is used widely in drawing, painting, [[manga]], [[anime]], and video game designs, many of which are popular in the rest of the world.<br />
<br />
Human-like animal characters in the kemono genre are frequently called '''J&#363;jin''' ([[Wikipedia:Japanese language|Japanese]] &#29539;&#20154; or &#12376;&#12421;&#12358;&#12376;&#12435; "[[Wikipedia:therianthrope|therianthrope]]"; alternatively, these characters are also sometimes read as ''kemonobito'' "beast-human"). Their unique design differs from artist to artist, but in general they combine popular character design with animal traits deemed cute and endearing. However, most kemono character designs retain a fundamentally human character and personality, seldom acting like the real animals after which they are designed. As such, kemono are usually shown living the way normal humans live in the same setting: speaking normal language, wearing normal clothes, eating normal food, living in normal homes, in ways that blur their distinction from ordinary humans.<br />
<br />
Though based on very different cultural ideals, kemono and [[furry fandom]] on the Internet can occasionally overlap, both geographically and in influence. Some kemono artists appeal to both at the same time. Due to similarity in subject matter, people interested in kemono art are also frequently interested in furry art (and vice versa).<br />
<br />

These websites are all [[wikipedia:hyperlink|link]]-free or have been irrevocably permitted to be linked to by their webmasters. Most of the sites are written only in [[Wikipedia:Japanese language|Japanese]], and some may contain themes perceived as mildly adult in nature.)''<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:Invertebrae.jpg|right|thumb|200px|One of the many ways an invertabrate character can be depicted. Artwork by [[User:Sugandya]]]]By the scientific definition, an '''invertebrate''' is any animal that lacks an internal skeleton. This includes [[Wikipedia:Mollusk|mollusks]], [[Wikipedia:Arachnids|arachnid]] (spiders), [[Wikipedia:Insects|insects]] and anything similar. <br />
<br />
Invertebrates inspire fear or disgust in many people. This is perhaps unfair, because most are actually harmless to man and in many cases they play a much larger role in an [[Wikipedia:ecosystem|ecosystem]] than other animals.<br />
<br />
A number of people keep invertebrates as pets. Most common are [[Wikipedia:tarantula|tarantulas]], [[Wikipedia:mantidae|mantis]]es and [[Wikipedia:Madagascan_Hissing_Cockroach|madagascan hissing roaches]], but other species are known to be domesticable as well.<br />
<br />
== Invertebrates and the furry community ==<br />
<br />
While not a greatly popular subject among the furry community, it is probably the most varying in concept. Most of the invertebrate characters in the fandom are female.<br />
<br />
While some will prefer to make invertebrate anthros with full features such as exoskeleton, antennae, multiple limbs and abdomen, most make use of a minimal set of features - typically only antennae, wings (when present in the actual species) and body patterns, with exception of spiders, which are usually portrayed with 6 arms plus body patterns. Another known concept is the one of a [[drider]], a [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and Dragons|D&D]]-based concept which consists of a [[taur]] form with the lower body being of a spider.<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Jiminy Cricket|Jiminy Cricket]] from Walt Disney's animated film: ''[[Wikipedia:Pinocchio (1940 film)|Pinnochio]]''<br />
* Charlotte from [[Charlotte's Web]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Sebastian (Disney)|Sebastian]] from Disney's animated film: [[Wikipedia:The Little Mermaid (film)|The Little Mermaid]]<br />

<br />
Hi there, Rat - welcome to WikiFur! Thanks for your contributions so far - let me know on my [[User talk:GreenReaper|user talk page]] if you need any [[help]] not already provided. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 07:28, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Napping Cat's Dream ==<br />
<br />
Hi, Rat...it's definitely Psychedelic '''A'''vatar, both capitalized. (My fuzzy alter-ego happens to be #326. :) [[User:CarlFox|Carl Fox]] 01:35, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Misinformation ==<br />
<br />
I think [[User:24.20.194.136]] is adding misinformation (all the edits about North Star Kung Fu). -- [[User:Rat|Rat]] 09:51, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, it does seem to have been a little odd. Someone trying to perpetuate an in-joke, I believe. Thanks for taking action. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 17:10, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Whoops . . . ==<br />
<br />
Sorry! We can always make a [[Rat (notthatperson)]] if you want. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 04:19, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== New tabs ==<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[WikiFur:Administrators]]! I noticed your recent reverts, and I thought it might be best to let you deal with that sort of thing yourself, if needed. You may notice a few new tabs along the top, and some other changes around the site in relation to user blocking, rollbacks and the like. I suggest you look over [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Administrators|this page]] if you're not familiar with how to use them. Hopefully you won't need them much, but they're there for when you do. Use them wisely! :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 05:43, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== "include" ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for catching that. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 04:29, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== 10k edits ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for giving your attention to the wiki - I'd like to recommend the 'preview' button, however. -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 15:11, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Recent vandal ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for catching that one. In that sort of situation (multiple page blanking or simple vandalism) you can add "&bot=1" to the URL of the user's contribution page and then reload the page with that URL. This will make it so that the contributions effectively disappear on recent changes when you roll them back (unless you look for them by turning bot actions on) and the only thing that appears is the ban. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 16:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
In response to Rat: Yes, there wasn't much of a point to it, more of a dare and being an on the whim action. I'm sure you can guess ''why'' it was done, with his background, though I agree it was rude and I apologize. --Nytwolf<br />
<br />
== Recent vandal ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for helping out with that spate of vandalism. Not sure what was up with that. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 22:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Article Illustrations ==<br />
<br />
Hello. I noticed that you requested artists to create art to add to WikiFur articles. I wish to say that if you wish, you may let me know if there are any articles you think need art, and I will be glad to draw something for them. Also, if I do happen to see any unillustrated articles, may I notify you to show whether what I add is acceptable? I am not sure of what the guidelines are for art at this time; however, so I shall need to find that out. -- {{UT|Seamora}} 10:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Here are some suggestions. This is not an exclusive list, and if you find another article where you can contribute art that meets the requirements I set out are [[User:Rat]], that is still good.<br />
:* [[Furry art]]<br />
:* [[Chakat]]<br />
:* [[Fox]]<br />
:* <strike>[[Cheetah]]</strike><br />
<br />
:Yes, you may use my talk page to talk about your proposals for art.<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Could you expand on "Must be released under a license acceptable to the WikiFur community."? Is "Artist approves use of this image on WikiFur" such a license, for example? I was thinking we could do with such a tag, with a number of people uploading their own art but not explicitly releasing it in some other fashion. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:That's a good question, and maybe we should have community input over what licenses are acceptable. The main thing is that since I'm collecting these images for WikiFur, is that WikiFur's permission to use them is explicit, not implicit. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 00:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Uploading them to WikiFur seems pretty explicit permission to me. <tt>;)</tt> -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I think that a tag would be highly useful, something like <tt><nowiki>{{ArtBounty|ArticleName}}</nowiki></tt> which both put the artwork into a particular category and provide text linking to the bounty pages and the article page concerned.<br />
<br />
:::As for the licensing, it might be a good idea to consider future applications of the images. For example, if we want to actually publish WikiFur articles in the future it makes sense to require a license that permits that, or have that be a specific term of the agreement. You could argue that this was implied in uploading the artwork, but you could also find that this didn't work out legally. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 06:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::If just uploading them is explicit permission, then getting them to express it in text form as well wouldn't hurt. And getting them to express it in text form also allows them to express conditions like whether they require to be attributed for their work, and whether their work can be used outside WikiFur. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 08:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::How does the wording on Image:Kdelany-grayfox.jpg look to you? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::I think it's okay. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 19:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::I just thought of one more thing. I'd want to make sure that the terms really are the will of the artist. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Absolutely. Pick a method! -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 03:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::She's local, so I could just ask her. Is she claiming the bounty? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 04:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::::She contacted me and she is claiming the bounty. In my [[User:Rat#Rules|original rules]], Rule #1, is that the artist has to upload their own work, but I'll waive it this time to avoid silliness like the pictures getting deleted and re-uploaded. The pictures in question are:<br />

== Illustrations from Sugandya ==<br />
<br />
Hello,<br />
I just wanted to double check with you before I got started. From what I took, one could illustrate any article (save for stubs) that lacked an illustration. Is this so? For example, I picked [[Invertebrate]], [[Kemono]], [[Otherkin]], and [[Kitsune]]; none of which (at the time of this posting) have no images for themselves that are exclusive to Wikifur. I want to make sure I have it clear. :) {{unsigned|Sugandya}}<br />
:Yes, that's correct. You could illustrate any of those.<br />
::Hello again. I got around to producing and adding these two: [[Invertebrate]] and [[Kemono]] for now!--[[User:Sugandya|Sugandya]] 03:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)<br />

RainRat, thanks for your generous offer. I have completed several illustrations for your approval. They are on the pages: [[Fursona]], [[Furgonomics]], [[Furry art]], and [[Draconid]]. Please let me know if any of these aren't up to specification. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 09:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Deleting redirects ==<br />
<br />
I would like to discuss deleting redirects. As deleted articles are still saved in the database, there is no need to do it to save disk space. In most cases there's no need to delete them. Even if there's no internal pages linking to it, there are still external links and maybe people who have it bookmarked. I don't disagree with all your deleted redirects.<br />
Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Redirects_for_deletion#When_should_we_delete_a_redirect.3F|redirect policy]] may be a start for consideration.<br />
--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I appreciate you letting me know. Could you be more specific about what concerns you, so I have a sense of what to continue doing and what to leave alone? My main concern has been with articles moved to correct capitalization. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Well, to pick a recent example there was [[Zassa of FurryMUCK]]. It was under that name for a long time, so one should leave a redirect so not to break external links and bookmarks. Moving articles to correct capitalization is good, but you don't have to delete the redirects from bad capitalization to good capitalization, so links aren't broken and articles are easy to find --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 05:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::I admit, I hadn't considered external links, though I always check for internal ones. As for capitalization, I should have been clearer. I specifically refer to cases where the article was a proper name (a person, usually) and not capitalized as a proper name: John doe rather than John Doe. Similarly with typos and misspellings. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::If there's an external link to an incorrectly-capitalized page ie [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Snagger_outlaw], the wiki does not take them to the correct page unless there's a redirect. If a misspelling is common, I would keep a redirect from the incorrect to the correct, but if it's an unlikely typo, then yeah, delete it. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 06:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />

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

==Article Illustrations ==<br />
<br />
Hello. I noticed that you requested artists to create art to add to WikiFur articles. I wish to say that if you wish, you may let me know if there are any articles you think need art, and I will be glad to draw something for them. Also, if I do happen to see any unillustrated articles, may I notify you to show whether what I add is acceptable? I am not sure of what the guidelines are for art at this time; however, so I shall need to find that out. -- {{UT|Seamora}} 10:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Here are some suggestions. This is not an exclusive list, and if you find another article where you can contribute art that meets the requirements I set out are [[User:Rat]], that is still good.<br />
:* [[Furry art]]<br />
:* [[Chakat]]<br />
:* [[Fox]]<br />
:* <strike>[[Cheetah]]</strike><br />
<br />
:Yes, you may use my talk page to talk about your proposals for art.<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Could you expand on "Must be released under a license acceptable to the WikiFur community."? Is "Artist approves use of this image on WikiFur" such a license, for example? I was thinking we could do with such a tag, with a number of people uploading their own art but not explicitly releasing it in some other fashion. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:That's a good question, and maybe we should have community input over what licenses are acceptable. The main thing is that since I'm collecting these images for WikiFur, is that WikiFur's permission to use them is explicit, not implicit. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 00:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Uploading them to WikiFur seems pretty explicit permission to me. <tt>;)</tt> -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I think that a tag would be highly useful, something like <tt><nowiki>{{ArtBounty|ArticleName}}</nowiki></tt> which both put the artwork into a particular category and provide text linking to the bounty pages and the article page concerned.<br />
<br />
:::As for the licensing, it might be a good idea to consider future applications of the images. For example, if we want to actually publish WikiFur articles in the future it makes sense to require a license that permits that, or have that be a specific term of the agreement. You could argue that this was implied in uploading the artwork, but you could also find that this didn't work out legally. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 06:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::If just uploading them is explicit permission, then getting them to express it in text form as well wouldn't hurt. And getting them to express it in text form also allows them to express conditions like whether they require to be attributed for their work, and whether their work can be used outside WikiFur. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 08:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

==Article Illustrations ==<br />
<br />
Hello. I noticed that you requested artists to create art to add to WikiFur articles. I wish to say that if you wish, you may let me know if there are any articles you think need art, and I will be glad to draw something for them. Also, if I do happen to see any unillustrated articles, may I notify you to show whether what I add is acceptable? I am not sure of what the guidelines are for art at this time; however, so I shall need to find that out. -- {{UT|Seamora}} 10:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Here are some suggestions. This is not an exclusive list, and if you find another article where you can contribute art that meets the requirements I set out are [[User:Rat]], that is still good.<br />
:* [[Furry art]]<br />
:* [[Chakat]]<br />
:* [[Fox]]<br />
:* <strike>[[Cheetah]]</strike><br />
<br />
:Yes, you may use my talk page to talk about your proposals for art.<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Could you expand on "Must be released under a license acceptable to the WikiFur community."? Is "Artist approves use of this image on WikiFur" such a license, for example? I was thinking we could do with such a tag, with a number of people uploading their own art but not explicitly releasing it in some other fashion. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:That's a good question, and maybe we should have community input over what licenses are acceptable. The main thing is that since I'm collecting these images for WikiFur, is that WikiFur's permission to use them is explicit, not implicit. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 00:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Uploading them to WikiFur seems pretty explicit permission to me. <tt>;)</tt> -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I think that a tag would be highly useful, something like <tt><nowiki>{{ArtBounty|ArticleName}}</nowiki></tt> which both put the artwork into a particular category and provide text linking to the bounty pages and the article page concerned.<br />
<br />
:::As for the licensing, it might be a good idea to consider future applications of the images. For example, if we want to actually publish WikiFur articles in the future it makes sense to require a license that permits that, or have that be a specific term of the agreement. You could argue that this was implied in uploading the artwork, but you could also find that this didn't work out legally. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 06:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::If just uploading them is explicit permission, then getting them to express it in text form as well wouldn't hurt. And getting them to express it in text form also allows them to express conditions like whether they require to be attributed for their work, and whether their work can be used outside WikiFur. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 08:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Illustrations from Sugandya ==<br />
<br />
Hello,<br />
I just wanted to double check with you before I got started. From what I took, one could illustrate any article (save for stubs) that lacked an illustration. Is this so? For example, I picked [[Invertebrate]], [[Kemono]], [[Otherkin]], and [[Kitsune]]; none of which (at the time of this posting) have no images for themselves that are exclusive to Wikifur. I want to make sure I have it clear. :) {{unsigned|Sugandya}}<br />
:Yes, that's correct. You could illustrate any of those.<br />
::Hello again. I got around to producing and adding these two: [[Invertebrate]] and [[Kemono]] for now!<br />
<br />
== Illustrations from [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] ==<br />
RainRat, thanks for your generous offer. I have completed several illustrations for your approval. They are on the pages: [[Fursona]], [[Furgonomics]], [[Furry art]], and [[Draconid]]. Please let me know if any of these aren't up to specification. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 09:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Sorry RainRat, forgot to leave my contact information. Please e-mail me at devandalizer@gmail.com -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 09:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Deleting redirects ==<br />
<br />
I would like to discuss deleting redirects. As deleted articles are still saved in the database, there is no need to do it to save disk space. In most cases there's no need to delete them. Even if there's no internal pages linking to it, there are still external links and maybe people who have it bookmarked. I don't disagree with all your deleted redirects.<br />
Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Redirects_for_deletion#When_should_we_delete_a_redirect.3F|redirect policy]] may be a start for consideration.<br />
--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I appreciate you letting me know. Could you be more specific about what concerns you, so I have a sense of what to continue doing and what to leave alone? My main concern has been with articles moved to correct capitalization. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Well, to pick a recent example there was [[Zassa of FurryMUCK]]. It was under that name for a long time, so one should leave a redirect so not to break external links and bookmarks. Moving articles to correct capitalization is good, but you don't have to delete the redirects from bad capitalization to good capitalization, so links aren't broken and articles are easy to find --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 05:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::I admit, I hadn't considered external links, though I always check for internal ones. As for capitalization, I should have been clearer. I specifically refer to cases where the article was a proper name (a person, usually) and not capitalized as a proper name: John doe rather than John Doe. Similarly with typos and misspellings. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::If there's an external link to an incorrectly-capitalized page ie [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Snagger_outlaw], the wiki does not take them to the correct page unless there's a redirect. If a misspelling is common, I would keep a redirect from the incorrect to the correct, but if it's an unlikely typo, then yeah, delete it. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 06:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />

:Confirmed. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 01:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
:I just thought of something else. One of the rules is "You must own or have permission to use any distinctive characters." You do have permission to use the characters in KDelany-JustinSix.JPG and KDelany-ShaterriAtRest.JPG right? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:03, 6 July 2006 (UTC)<br />

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

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

I looked up other vandalisms this guy has done and I can't believe this, Myself and other Wikiusers put time and effort into making our article(s) and these guys just show up and take a Sledge Hammer to them, that just gets me riled up, let me know whats up, thanks - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 13:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)</div>Sugandya//en.wikifur.com/wiki/InvertebrateInvertebrate2006-07-28T00:14:21Z<p>Sugandya: </p>

<div>[[Image:Invertebrae.jpg|right|thumb|200px|One of the endless ways an invertabrate character can be depicted. Artwork by [[User:Sugandya]]]]By the scientific definition, an '''invertebrate''' is any animal that lacks an internal skeleton. This includes [[Wikipedia:Mollusk|mollusks]], [[Wikipedia:Arachnids|arachnid]] (spiders), [[Wikipedia:Insects|insects]] and anything similar. <br />
<br />
Invertebrates inspire fear or disgust in many people. This is perhaps unfair, because most are actually harmless to man and in many cases they play a much larger role in an [[Wikipedia:ecosystem|ecosystem]] than other animals.<br />
<br />
A number of people keep invertebrates as pets. Most common are [[Wikipedia:tarantula|tarantulas]], [[Wikipedia:mantidae|mantis]]es and [[Wikipedia:Madagascan_Hissing_Cockroach|madagascan hissing roaches]], but other species are known to be domesticable as well.<br />
<br />
== Invertebrates and the furry community ==<br />
<br />
While not a greatly popular subject among the furry community, it is probably the most varying in concept. Most of the invertebrate characters in the fandom are female.<br />
<br />
While some will prefer to make invertebrate anthros with full features such as exoskeleton, antennae, multiple limbs and abdomen, most make use of a minimal set of features - typically only antennae, wings (when present in the actual species) and body patterns, with exception of spiders, which are usually portrayed with 6 arms plus body patterns. Another known concept is the one of a [[drider]], a [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and Dragons|D&D]]-based concept which consists of a [[taur]] form with the lower body being of a spider.<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />

* [[Wikipedia:Jiminy Cricket|Jiminy Cricket]] from Walt Disney's animated film: ''[[Wikipedia:Pinocchio (1940 film)|Pinnochio]]''<br />
* Charlotte from [[Charlotte's Web]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Sebastian (Disney)|Sebastian]] from Disney's animated film: [[Wikipedia:The Little Mermaid (film)|The Little Mermaid]]<br />

<div>[[Image:Kemono.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Daily life of a kemono-style canine at work. Artwork by [[User:Sugandya]]]]'''Kemono''' ([[Wikipedia:Japanese language|Japanese]] &#29539; or &#12369;&#12418;&#12398; "beast") is a genre of [[Wikipedia:Japan|Japanese]] art and character design that prominently features animal-like fictional characters in human-like settings and situations. It is used widely in drawing, painting, [[manga]], [[anime]], and video game designs, many of which are popular in the rest of the world.<br />
<br />
Human-like animal characters in the kemono genre are frequently called '''J&#363;jin''' ([[Wikipedia:Japanese language|Japanese]] &#29539;&#20154; or &#12376;&#12421;&#12358;&#12376;&#12435; "[[Wikipedia:therianthrope|therianthrope]]"; alternatively, these characters are also sometimes read as ''kemonobito'' "beast-human"). Their unique design differs from artist to artist, but in general they combine popular character design with animal traits deemed cute and endearing. However, most kemono character designs retain a fundamentally human character and personality, seldom acting like the real animals after which they are designed. As such, kemono are usually shown living the way normal humans live in the same setting: speaking normal language, wearing normal clothes, eating normal food, living in normal homes, in ways that blur their distinction from ordinary humans.<br />
<br />
Though based on very different cultural ideals, kemono and [[furry fandom]] on the Internet can occasionally overlap, both geographically and in influence. Some kemono artists appeal to both at the same time. Due to similarity in subject matter, people interested in kemono art are also frequently interested in furry art (and vice versa).<br />
<br />
== External links ==<br />
''(This is a brief list of well-distinguished kemono websites on the Internet. These websites are all [[wikipedia:hyperlink|link]]-free or have been irrevocably permitted to be linked to by their webmasters. Most of the sites are written only in [[Wikipedia:Japanese language|Japanese]], and some may contain themes perceived as mildly adult in nature.)''<br />

I think [[User:24.20.194.136]] is adding misinformation (all the edits about North Star Kung Fu). -- [[User:Rat|Rat]] 09:51, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, it does seem to have been a little odd. Someone trying to perpetuate an in-joke, I believe. Thanks for taking action. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 17:10, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

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

<br />
== Recent vandal ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for catching that one. In that sort of situation (multiple page blanking or simple vandalism) you can add "&bot=1" to the URL of the user's contribution page and then reload the page with that URL. This will make it so that the contributions effectively disappear on recent changes when you roll them back (unless you look for them by turning bot actions on) and the only thing that appears is the ban. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 16:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
In response to Rat: Yes, there wasn't much of a point to it, more of a dare and being an on the whim action. I'm sure you can guess ''why'' it was done, with his background, though I agree it was rude and I apologize. --Nytwolf<br />

==Article Illustrations ==<br />
<br />
Hello. I noticed that you requested artists to create art to add to WikiFur articles. I wish to say that if you wish, you may let me know if there are any articles you think need art, and I will be glad to draw something for them. Also, if I do happen to see any unillustrated articles, may I notify you to show whether what I add is acceptable? I am not sure of what the guidelines are for art at this time; however, so I shall need to find that out. -- {{UT|Seamora}} 10:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Here are some suggestions. This is not an exclusive list, and if you find another article where you can contribute art that meets the requirements I set out are [[User:Rat]], that is still good.<br />
:* [[Furry art]]<br />
:* [[Chakat]]<br />
:* [[Fox]]<br />
:* <strike>[[Cheetah]]</strike><br />
<br />
:Yes, you may use my talk page to talk about your proposals for art.<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Could you expand on "Must be released under a license acceptable to the WikiFur community."? Is "Artist approves use of this image on WikiFur" such a license, for example? I was thinking we could do with such a tag, with a number of people uploading their own art but not explicitly releasing it in some other fashion. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:That's a good question, and maybe we should have community input over what licenses are acceptable. The main thing is that since I'm collecting these images for WikiFur, is that WikiFur's permission to use them is explicit, not implicit. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 00:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Uploading them to WikiFur seems pretty explicit permission to me. <tt>;)</tt> -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I think that a tag would be highly useful, something like <tt><nowiki>{{ArtBounty|ArticleName}}</nowiki></tt> which both put the artwork into a particular category and provide text linking to the bounty pages and the article page concerned.<br />
<br />
:::As for the licensing, it might be a good idea to consider future applications of the images. For example, if we want to actually publish WikiFur articles in the future it makes sense to require a license that permits that, or have that be a specific term of the agreement. You could argue that this was implied in uploading the artwork, but you could also find that this didn't work out legally. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 06:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::If just uploading them is explicit permission, then getting them to express it in text form as well wouldn't hurt. And getting them to express it in text form also allows them to express conditions like whether they require to be attributed for their work, and whether their work can be used outside WikiFur. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 08:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::How does the wording on Image:Kdelany-grayfox.jpg look to you? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::I think it's okay. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 19:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::I just thought of one more thing. I'd want to make sure that the terms really are the will of the artist. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Absolutely. Pick a method! -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 03:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::She's local, so I could just ask her. Is she claiming the bounty? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 04:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::::She contacted me and she is claiming the bounty. In my [[User:Rat#Rules|original rules]], Rule #1, is that the artist has to upload their own work, but I'll waive it this time to avoid silliness like the pictures getting deleted and re-uploaded. The pictures in question are:<br />
:::::::* [[:Image:Kdelany-redfox.jpg]] for [[Red Fox]]<br />
:::::::* [[:Image:Kdelany-grayfox.jpg]] for [[Gray Fox]]<br />
:::::::* [[:Image:CheetahFaces.JPG]] for [[Cheetah]]<br />

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

== Categories needing illustrations ==<br />
<br />
Hello,<br />
I just wanted to double check with you before I got started. From what I took, one could illustrate any article (save for stubs) that lacked an illustration. Is this so? For example, I picked [[Invertebrate]], [[Kemono]], [[Otherkin]], and [[Kitsune]]; none of which (at the time of this posting) have no images for themselves that are exclusive to Wikifur. I want to make sure I have it clear. :)</div>Sugandya
