Any guesses as to the intended meaning of "Permission: commercial - allowed image-citation"? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:30, 2 May 2013 (EDT)

Well, what does it say? "allowed image-citation". Could that mean that permission is given to cite this image in the context of this wiki? --[[User:Suran|Suran]] 15:09, 2 May 2013 (EDT)

Does this item need its own article? If it does, do we need a disambiguation between it and the artist? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 20:33, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

What artist? --[[User:Suran|Suran]] 15:07, 2 May 2013 (EDT)

== disambiguation ==

A disambiguation would be fine.

I was to lazy this late at night to write about the meaning of K9->canine and such.

The toy got as widely known as the [[Thor]] in a few month. It should have a passage on the k9-page.

:That was my thought on seeing this edit last night. There is some good information here but it needs to be formed into paragraphs describing the general nature of the products. The excess detail of product lines (which is liable to change on a regular basis) can be removed. I don't see how wording like "products that are found to have inferior quality are not offered or removed from the portfolio at once" has a place here, either - it's an assertion of intent without even a reference to specific events.

Why remove the

That something is avaliable in english is not a matter of course. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Suran|Suran]] ([[User talk:Suran|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Suran|contribs]]) .

:Well, here on the English-language WikiFur, it is - and if it is not, that is specifically noted. It is worth noting that a non-English resource is also available in English; indeed, the article does so, and that statement was not removed. However, it doesn't make sense to make a ''category'' that would need to be applied to 98% of articles about websites and other resources - it is not useful. The language categories were created to help those who want to follow resources in particular (non-English) languages. (I imagine your library has a section for books in foreign languages as well.) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 00:27, 4 September 2012 (EDT)

Furoticon

[[File:Furoticon.png|right|180px]]
{{rating-nc17-button2}}
'''Furoticon''' is an adult [[furry]] card game. It was released during [[Anthrocon 2009]].<ref name="what">[http://furoticon.com/index.php?a=5 What is Furoticon? By Seppel]. Retrieved 2009 December 14.</ref> In Furoticon, a player takes on the role of an owner of a harem and plays against other owners, with the goal of using their harems to bring all opponents to orgasm (in the context of the game, of course).

By 2012, Furoticon has "over 200 artists and more than 500 cards."<ref>http://furoticon.com/ Retrieved June 29, 2012.</ref>

== Gameplay ==

Players take turns and use two resources, Action Points and Gender Points, to draw cards, play cards, and enter bed. Cards give a player more resources, more harem members, and special moves that can alter gameplay. When a player uses his or her harem to enter bed, s/he attempts to give pleasure to an opponent or the opponent's harem. Pleasure reduces a player's stamina, and when a player has no stamina remaining, that player orgasms and is out of the game. The last player or team remaining wins the game.

Most cards are separated into four "genders," and require Gender Points to be played. The four genders in Furoticon are male, female, [[hermaphrodite]] and [[otherkin]]. Cards with no gender are called "Haven" cards, and they increase a player's available resources per turn.

== Card Sets ==

New card sets are released yearly at [[Anthrocon]]. Cards are available for purchase at Furoticon.com [http://furoticon.com/getcards.php] and at many furry conventions.

=== First Vanilla ===

All Furoticon Booster Packs contain 10 game cards of assorted rarities, and a variable amount of rule cards, token cards, and promo cards.

=== Triskelion ===

The expansion set "Triskelion" was released on June 25, 2010. It contains 130 game cards and features 64 artists. It is a BDSM-themed set in a medieval world, and it follows the story of three classmates, a female red squirrel named Sukouri, a male bunny named Bryn, and a male tabby cat named Leavan, as they train for acceptance into guilds of tantric sex.

The development team was Seppel, Callista Skip, Basque, Marik, and Tegome Aburana.

== History ==

Starting on the 3 February 2006 under the name of FurryShop.de, the site was quickly renamed to Yiffytoys.de because it was generally seen a unfavorable to have the term "Furry" in the name of an adult shop.

About two month after the shop was established it started a "Behind The Scenes"-blog to reveal some of its inner workings.

A major rebuild in April 2006 added support for not just German, but French and English, as well as the Euro, US Dollar, British Pound Sterling, and access via IPv6. A number of French furs volunteered the French translations. The cute [[fox]]es on the website were commissioned from German [[furry artist]], [[TaniDaReal]].

In June 2006 a [[convention]]s calendar was created, so people could see when and where a personal pickup was possible as opposed to international shipping. The first such convention was [[Mephit Mini Con|Mephit Mini Con 9]].

In February 2008 Suran applied for the German and US trademark for the name of "YiffyToys" after a short incident with a typosquatter.

In April 2008, in the wake of the decline of the dollar, a second shop for U.S. and Canadian customers only was founded<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/04/erffnung-von-usyiffytoysde.html blog-entry about starting US.YiffyToys.de]</ref>. Orders are shipped directly from a US distributor instead of the company's European stock.

In July 2008 the German trademark "YiffyToys" was granted, followed by the corresponding U.S. trademark in September 2008 (opposition ended 2008-12-02).

In August 2008 the shop began selling not only the animal-dildos from Furrystyle but also from TSX-Toys<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/08/nee-tier-dildos.html blog-entry about TSX-Toys]</ref>.

In September 2008 the shop began also selling the dragon-dildos of Bad Dragon<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/09/yiffytoys-fhrt-drachen-dildos-von-bad.html Blog-Entry about Bad Dragon].</ref>

In November 2008 the shop began also selling the silicone-toys of [[Zetacreations]]<ref>[http://yiffytoys.de/cat-alog/index.php/cPath/22_84-Zetaceations Zetacreations-Products at YiffyToys.de]</ref>.

In January 2009 live-cast dildos where added to the portfolio<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2009/01/exotic-erotics-22.html blog-entry about live-casts]</ref>. It now features all major brands of animal-dildos.

In February 2009 US.yiffytoys.de has been renamed to [http://yiffytoys.us YiffyToys.us] .

In March 2010 YiffyToys added Elypse Art and thus the last manufacturer of animal-dildos to it´s portfolio.

December 2011 YiffyToys aquired the manufacturer [[furrystyle]].

== Products ==

'''deep down'''

The site was the official European distributor of furry adult products from [[Furrystyle]] (including their animal-shaped [[Wikipedia:Dildo|dildos]] such as the famous [[K9]],) and later aquired that brand and the production of all models. 
In addition to the Furrystyle-products the animal-dildos from TSX-toys, silicone-toys from [[Zetacreations]], dragon-dildos from [[Bad Dragon]], inflatable canine dildos from Elypse art and live-casts from exotic-erotics are sold there.

''' binding, slippery and protecting'''

Apart from the dildos other products that are of interest to certain parts of the community, such as [http://zoowiki.zetapin.de/index.php?title=Bovivet_Gel Bovi-Vet], the CumLube of Bad Dragon or bondage-gear are sold as well.

''' artistic '''

It also carries other wares, such as mousepads, cups and collectors-cards with adult themes and the [[Furoticon]] card games.
YiffyToys website lists a “Pornfolio”, but it is only available for purchase at conventions<ref>[http://yiffytoys.de/cat-alog/product_info.php/cPath/28/products_id/164 Wetvixen Pornfolio at YiffyToys]. Retrieved 15 Feb 2008.</ref> Pornfolio not offered online for legal reasons.

== Principles ==

The shop never sold any products that include phantalates as softeners and removed products that showed inferior quality from its portfolio.

While selling a limited list of print-items the portfolio stays fixated on adult toys and is not expanded to unrelated items like print-publications, plushies or convention/fursuit-supplies.

== Public presence ==

=== Conventions ===

YiffyToys is represented at several large European [[convention]]s, including

* [[Eurofurence]] ([[Eurofurence 12|12]], [[Eurofurence 13|13]], [[Eurofurence 14|14]], [[Eurofurence 15|15]], ...),
* [[Mephit Mini Con]] (10, 11, 12, ...),
* [[H-Con]] (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...),
* [[ČeSFuR]] (4),
* TailsUp (1, 2),
as well as multiple smaller [[furmeet]]s like
* the regular [[AYCE]].

This allows potential customers to see the various products first hand and possibly buy them without the shipping costs or customs fees involved in small-scale overseas imports.

There is a public [http://yiffytoys.de/cat-alog/rss.php calendar] detailing the places where they can be met.

At [[Eurofurence 13]] YiffyToys experimented with an [[Wikipedia:Point of sale|order terminal]] on the table in the Dealers Den where people could arrange for items to be delivered to their room at given times, either for purchase or examination. This trial was not continued, as it was found that people would often not be in their room at the appointed time. However, the capability to accept credit cards, [[Wikipedia:PayPal|PayPal]] and [[Wikipedia:United Transfer|United Transfer]] using the terminal was subsequently offered at conventions where a network or cellphone connection could be made.

=== Additional US shop ===

A second-shop at [[yiffytoys.us]] sells only to US and Canadian customers, shipping directly from the US, to stay independent of Euro/US Dollar exchange rates. It is not a complete replacement for the main shop, as you can find different items there. Instead it is but an additional offer to this group of furs.

=== Trademark registration ===

Between February and March 2008 the recently registred typosquatter-domain yiffy-toys.de had to be transfered Suran as the owner of the then already existing domain yiffytoys.de.

In this time the (German) trademark on the name "YiffyToys"®<ref>[https://dpinfo.dpma.de/index_e.html Trademark file number 302008009407.9] - [[Wikipedia:Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt|German Patent and Trade Mark Office]] (filed 13 March 2008)</ref> was applied for and has been entered into the trademark-register as of 2008-07.

An additional US-trademark was registred later in 2008 <ref>[http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=77414408 TARR status for mark application 77414408 - "YiffyToys" - "Dealerships in the field of adult sexual items"] - [[Wikipedia:United States Patent and Trademark Office|United States Patent and Trademark Office]]</ref>.

=== Blog ===

There is a [http://blog.yiffytoys.de blog] about what is going on "behind the scenes". It is summarized and translated to english multiple times a year in a [http://newsletter.yiffytoys.de newsletter].

== History ==

Starting on the 3 February 2006 under the name of FurryShop.de, the site was quickly renamed to Yiffytoys.de because it was generally seen a unfavorable to have the term "Furry" in the name of an adult shop.

About two month after the shop was established it started a "Behind The Scenes"-blog to reveal some of its inner workings.

A major rebuild in April 2006 added support for not just German, but French and English, as well as the Euro, US Dollar, British Pound Sterling, and access via IPv6. A number of French furs volunteered the French translations. The cute [[fox]]es on the website were commissioned from German [[furry artist]], [[TaniDaReal]].

In June 2006 a [[convention]]s calendar was created, so people could see when and where a personal pickup was possible as opposed to international shipping. The first such convention was [[Mephit Mini Con|Mephit Mini Con 9]].

In February 2008 Suran applied for the German and US trademark for the name of "YiffyToys" after a short incident with a typosquatter.

In April 2008, in the wake of the decline of the dollar, a second shop for U.S. and Canadian customers only was founded<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/04/erffnung-von-usyiffytoysde.html blog-entry about starting US.YiffyToys.de]</ref>. Orders are shipped directly from a US distributor instead of the company's European stock.

In July 2008 the German trademark "YiffyToys" was granted, followed by the corresponding U.S. trademark in September 2008 (opposition ended 2008-12-02).

In August 2008 the shop began selling not only the animal-dildos from Furrystyle but also from TSX-Toys<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/08/nee-tier-dildos.html blog-entry about TSX-Toys]</ref>.

In September 2008 the shop began also selling the dragon-dildos of Bad Dragon<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/09/yiffytoys-fhrt-drachen-dildos-von-bad.html Blog-Entry about Bad Dragon].</ref>

In November 2008 the shop began also selling the silicone-toys of [[Zetacreations]]<ref>[http://yiffytoys.de/cat-alog/index.php/cPath/22_84-Zetaceations Zetacreations-Products at YiffyToys.de]</ref>.

In January 2009 live-cast dildos where added to the portfolio<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2009/01/exotic-erotics-22.html blog-entry about live-casts]</ref>. It now features all major brands of animal-dildos.

In February 2009 US.yiffytoys.de has been renamed to [http://yiffytoys.us YiffyToys.us] .

In March 2010 YiffyToys added Elypse Art and thus the last manufacturer of animal-dildos to it´s portfolio.

December 2011 YiffyToys aquired the manufacturer [[furrystyle]].

== Products ==

'''deep down'''

The site is the official European distributor of furry adult products from [[Furrystyle]] (including their animal-shaped [[Wikipedia:Dildo|dildos]] such as the famous [[K9]],). 
In addition to the Furrystyle-products the animal-dildos from TSX-toys, silicone-toys from [[Zetacreations]], dragon-dildos from [[Bad Dragon]], inflatable canine dildos from Elypse art and live-casts from exotic-erotics are sold there.

''' binding, slippery and protecting'''

Apart from the dildos other products that are of interest to certain parts of the community, such as [http://zoowiki.zetapin.de/index.php?title=Bovivet_Gel Bovi-Vet], the CumLube of Bad Dragon or bondage-gear are sold as well.

''' artistic '''

It also carries other wares, such as mousepads, cups and collectors-cards with adult themes.
YiffyToys website lists a “Pornfolio”, but it is only available for purchase at conventions<ref>[http://yiffytoys.de/cat-alog/product_info.php/cPath/28/products_id/164 Wetvixen Pornfolio at YiffyToys]. Retrieved 15 Feb 2008.</ref> Pornfolio not offered online for legal reasons.

== Principles ==

The shop never sold any products that include phantalates as softeners and removed products that showed inferior quality from its portfolio.

While selling a limited list of print-items the portfolio stays fixated on adult toys and is not expanded to unrelated items like print-publications, plushies or convention/fursuit-supplies.

== Public presence ==

=== Conventions ===

YiffyToys is represented at several large European [[convention]]s, including

* [[Eurofurence]] ([[Eurofurence 12|12]], [[Eurofurence 13|13]], [[Eurofurence 14|14]], [[Eurofurence 15|15]], ...),
* [[Mephit Mini Con]] (10, 11, 12, ...),
* [[H-Con]] (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...),
* [[ČeSFuR]] (4),
* TailsUp (1, 2),
as well as multiple smaller [[furmeet]]s like
* the regular [[AYCE]].

This allows potential customers to see the various products first hand and possibly buy them without the shipping costs or customs fees involved in small-scale overseas imports.

There is a public [http://yiffytoys.de/cat-alog/rss.php calendar] detailing the places where they can be met.

At [[Eurofurence 13]] YiffyToys experimented with an [[Wikipedia:Point of sale|order terminal]] on the table in the Dealers Den where people could arrange for items to be delivered to their room at given times, either for purchase or examination. This trial was not continued, as it was found that people would often not be in their room at the appointed time. However, the capability to accept credit cards, [[Wikipedia:PayPal|PayPal]] and [[Wikipedia:United Transfer|United Transfer]] using the terminal was subsequently offered at conventions where a network or cellphone connection could be made.

=== Additional US shop ===

A second-shop at [[yiffytoys.us]] sells only to US and Canadian customers, shipping directly from the US, to stay independent of Euro/US Dollar exchange rates. It is not a complete replacement for the main shop, as you can find different items there. Instead it is but an additional offer to this group of furs.

=== Trademark registration ===

Between February and March 2008 the recently registred typosquatter-domain yiffy-toys.de had to be transfered Suran as the owner of the then already existing domain yiffytoys.de.

In this time the (German) trademark on the name "YiffyToys"®<ref>[https://dpinfo.dpma.de/index_e.html Trademark file number 302008009407.9] - [[Wikipedia:Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt|German Patent and Trade Mark Office]] (filed 13 March 2008)</ref> was applied for and has been entered into the trademark-register as of 2008-07.

An additional US-trademark was registred later in 2008 <ref>[http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=77414408 TARR status for mark application 77414408 - "YiffyToys" - "Dealerships in the field of adult sexual items"] - [[Wikipedia:United States Patent and Trademark Office|United States Patent and Trademark Office]]</ref>.

=== Blog ===

There is a [http://blog.yiffytoys.de blog] about what is going on "behind the scenes". It is summarized and translated to english multiple times a year in a [http://newsletter.yiffytoys.de newsletter].

K9

2012-01-11T07:25:52Z

Suran: added details and updated to past tense

:''This page is about the adult toy. For the artist, see [[K-9]].''

{{rating-nc17-button}}

The '''K9''' is a [[Wikipedia:dildo|dildo]] in the shape of a [[canine]]'s [[penis]].

== Size ==

Made completely out of medical-grade silicone it measured about 20cm (8”) from base to tip; 4" from the [[Wikipedia:Bulbus glandis|knot]] to tip and has a circumference of 11cm (4.5") at the shaft and 18cm (7") at the knot.

== History ==

It was made by [[Furrystyle]] and sold both by them in the US and [[YiffyToys.de]] in Europe.

Because this toy got so famous, it was replaced in 2007 by a series<ref>[http://furrystyle.com/products/canine-toys successors product line]</ref> of canine dildos. The "Runt", "Spike", "Duke" and "Goliath" (listed in increasing length).

The original toy is discontinued but could still be purchased at YiffyToys.de for a limited time until November 2008<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/11/der-letzte-k9-ist-verkauft.html Blog posting about the last K9 sold]</ref>.

However, the capability to accept credit cards, [[Wikipedia:PayPal|PayPal]] and [[Wikipedia:United Transfer|United Transfer]] using the terminal was subsequently offered at conventions where a network or cellphone connection could be made.

=== Additional US shop ===

A second-shop at [[yiffytoys.us]] sells only to US and Canadian customers, shipping directly from the US, to stay independent of Euro/US Dollar exchange rates. It is not a complete replacement for the main shop, as you can find different items there. Instead it is but an additional offer to this group of furs.

=== Trademark registration ===

Between February and March 2008 the recently registred typosquatter-domain yiffy-toys.de had to be transfered Suran as the owner of the then already existing domain yiffytoys.de.

In this time the (German) trademark on the name "YiffyToys"®<ref>[https://dpinfo.dpma.de/index_e.html Trademark file number 302008009407.9] - [[Wikipedia:Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt|German Patent and Trade Mark Office]] (filed 13 March 2008)</ref> was applied for and has been entered into the trademark-register as of 2008-07.

An additional US-trademark was registred later in 2008 <ref>[http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=77414408 TARR status for mark application 77414408 - "YiffyToys" - "Dealerships in the field of adult sexual items"] - [[Wikipedia:United States Patent and Trademark Office|United States Patent and Trademark Office]]</ref>.

== History ==

Starting on the 3 February 2006 under the name of FurryShop.de, the site was quickly renamed to Yiffytoys.de because it was generally seen a unfavorable to have the term "Furry" in the name of an adult shop.

About two month after the shop was established it started a "Behind The Scenes"-blog to reveal some of its inner workings.

A major rebuild in April 2006 added support for not just German, but French and English, as well as the Euro, US Dollar, British Pound Sterling, and access via IPv6. A number of French furs volunteered the French translations. The cute [[fox]]es on the website were commissioned from German [[furry artist]], [[TaniDaReal]].

In June 2006 a [[convention]]s calendar was created, so people could see when and where a personal pickup was possible as opposed to international shipping. The first such convention was [[Mephit Mini Con|Mephit Mini Con 9]].

In February 2008 Suran applied for the German and US trademark for the name of "YiffyToys" after a short incident with a typosquatter.

In April 2008, in the wake of the decline of the dollar, a second shop for U.S. and Canadian customers only was founded<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/04/erffnung-von-usyiffytoysde.html blog-entry about starting US.YiffyToys.de]</ref>. Orders are shipped directly from a US distributor instead of the company's European stock.

In July 2008 the German trademark "YiffyToys" was granted, followed by the corresponding U.S. trademark in September 2008 (opposition ended 2008-12-02).

In August 2008 the shop began selling not only the animal-dildos from Furrystyle but also from TSX-Toys<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/08/nee-tier-dildos.html blog-entry about TSX-Toys]</ref>.

In September 2008 the shop began also selling the dragon-dildos of Bad Dragon<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/09/yiffytoys-fhrt-drachen-dildos-von-bad.html Blog-Entry about Bad Dragon].</ref>

In November 2008 the shop began also selling the silicone-toys of [[Zetacreations]]<ref>[http://yiffytoys.de/cat-alog/index.php/cPath/22_84-Zetaceations Zetacreations-Products at YiffyToys.de]</ref>.

In January 2009 live-cast dildos where added to the portfolio<ref>[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2009/01/exotic-erotics-22.html blog-entry about live-casts]</ref>. It now features all major brands of animal-dildos.

In February 2009 US.yiffytoys.de has been renamed to [http://yiffytoys.us YiffyToys.us] .

In March 2010 YiffyToys added Elypse Art and thus the last manufacturer of animal-dildos to it´s portfolio.

== Products ==

'''deep down'''

The site is the official European distributor of furry adult products from [[Furrystyle]] (including their animal-shaped [[Wikipedia:Dildo|dildos]] such as the famous [[K9]],).
In addition to the Furrystyle-products the animal-dildos from TSX-toys, silicone-toys from [[Zetacreations]], dragon-dildos from [[Bad Dragon]] and live-casts from exotic-erotics are sold there too.

''' binding, slippery and protecting'''

Apart from the dildos other products that are of interest to certain parts of the community, such as [http://zoowiki.zetapin.de/index.php?title=Bovivet_Gel Bovi-Vet], the CumLube of Bad Dragon or bondage-gear are sold as well.

''' artistic '''

It also carries other wares, such as mousepads, cups and collectors-cards with adult themes.
YiffyToys website lists a “Pornfolio”, but it is only available for purchase at conventions<ref>[http://yiffytoys.de/cat-alog/product_info.php/cPath/28/products_id/164 Wetvixen Pornfolio at YiffyToys]. Retrieved 15 Feb 2008.</ref> Pornfolio not offered online for legal reasons.

== Principles ==

The shop never sold any products that include phantalates as softeners and removed products that showed inferior quality from its portfolio.

While selling a limited list of print-items the portfolio stays fixated on adult toys and is not expanded to unrelated items like print-publications, plushies or convention/fursuit-supplies.

== Public presence ==

=== Conventions ===

YiffyToys is represented at several large European [[convention]]s, including

* [[Eurofurence]] ([[Eurofurence 12|12]], [[Eurofurence 13|13]], [[Eurofurence 14|14]], [[Eurofurence 15|15]], ...),
* [[Mephit Mini Con]] (10, 11, 12, ...),
* [[H-Con]] (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...),
* [[ČeSFuR]] (4),
as well as multiple smaller [[furmeet]]s like
* the regular [[AYCE]].

This allows potential customers to see the various products first hand and possibly buy them without the shipping costs or customs fees involved in small-scale overseas imports.

There is a public [http://yiffytoys.de/cat-alog/rss.php calendar] detailing the places where they can be met.

At [[Eurofurence 13]] YiffyToys experimented with an [[Wikipedia:Point of sale|order terminal]] on the table in the Dealers Den where people could arrange for items to be delivered to their room at given times, either for purchase or examination. This trial was not continued, as it was found that people would often not be in their room at the appointed time. However, the capability to accept credit cards, [[Wikipedia:PayPal|PayPal]] and [[Wikipedia:United Transfer|United Transfer]] using the terminal was subsequently offered at conventions where a network or cellphone connection could be made.

YiffyToys (name dispute)

2009-11-30T05:30:44Z

Suran: /* Participants */ "was" instead of "ongoing"

== Participants ==

There was a dispute about the use of the name '''YiffyToys''' in 2008/2009. 
It was used by two adult supplies companies:
* The former e-commerce site '''[[YiffyToys.com]]''', owned by [[TiGWolf]] and based in the U.S and
* '''[[YiffyToys.de]]''' and '''[[YiffyToys.us]]''', run by [[Suran]] and based in Germany

== Current Status ==

The dispute has been largely resolved, with ''[[YiffyToys.de]]'' continuing to use the name, while the shop ''YiffyToys.com'' has been renamed to [[FetishZone|FetishZone.net]]. 
The site ''yiffy-toys.de'' has been transfered to Suran in March 2008. 
The site ''yiffytoys.com'' has been transfered to Suran on 2009-07-06 after a dispute at the WIPO Arbitration Center ordered it to be transfered to Suran on 2009-06-17. Thus ending this dispute.

== History ==

Suran opened the website ''YiffyToys.de'' in February 2006. The site banner used the full name; however, it was sometimes referred to as "YiffyToys" without the .de suffix. With the later renaming of us.YiffyToys.de to YiffyToys.us this has become the norm.

The domain ''YiffyToys.com'' was purchased by Tig Wolf on 2 November 2007, who subsequently launched an e-commerce website at that address. According to Tig, he relied on the prior non-registration of ''YiffyToys.com'', YiffyToys.net, YiffyToys.org, and YiffyToys.us as an indication that the name was suitable. 
At this time the pair owned another domain ''swollensheath.com'', registered one day earlier.<ref>[http://whois.domaintools.com/swollensheath.com swollensheath.com Whois lookip]</ref>

As both sites sell similar products, Suran expressed concern to Jaeger and Tig that their use of the term would cause confusion. However, Tig stated that by that time the pair had spent considerable funds on legal costs and promotional items related to the name, and were unwilling to change it.

Suran registered the domains ''yiffy-toys.com'', ''yiffytoys.net'' and ''yiffy-toys.org'' on 22 December 2007, while Jaeger and Tig registered ''yiffytoys.org'' and ''yiffy-toys.de'' on the same day.

On 21st April 2008 Jaeger and Tig renamed their shop to ''[[Fetish Zone]]'' and notified customers of their new domain.

=== Trademarks ===

*On 13 February 2008, the [[Wikipedia:Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt|German Patent and Trade Mark Office]] received an application from Suran for the mark "YiffyToys" under class 35 (advertising and business services).<ref>[https://dpinfo.dpma.de/index_e.html Trademark file number 302008009407.9] - [[Wikipedia:Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt|German Patent and Trade Mark Office]] (filed 13 March 2008)</ref><ref name="MarkClassesFAQ">''[http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/tmfaq.htm#Application018 What are the different classes of goods and services?]'' - Trademark FAQ, USPTO</ref>

*Suran filed a similar application with the [[Wikipedia:United States Patent and Trademark Office|United States Patent and Trademark Office]] (USPTO) on 6 March, under a law which allows the use of a foreign application's filing date.<ref>[http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=77414408 TARR status for mark application 77414408 - "YiffyToys" - "Dealerships in the field of adult sexual items"] - [[Wikipedia:United States Patent and Trademark Office|United States Patent and Trademark Office]] (accessed 25 March 2008)</ref><ref>[http://www.bitlaw.com/source/tmep/1003.html 1003 Section 44(d) - Priority Filing Date Based on a Foreign Application] - Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure, 4th ed. (April 2005)</ref> This mark is currently scheduled for publication on 16th September 2008.

*In-between these filings - specifically, on 19 February - Tig Wolf applied to the USPTO for the mark "Yiffy Toys" in class 10 (medical apperatus).<ref>[http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=77400748 TARR status for mark application 77400748 - "Yiffy Toys" - "Adult sexual aids, namely, bondage, chasity devices, collars, dildos, furry gear, ludes (sic) and condoms, pony gear, puppy gear, vibes"] - United States Patent and Trademark Office (accessed 25 March 2008)</ref><ref name="MarkClassesFAQ" /><ref>Suran's application is for a [[Wikipedia:service mark|service mark]] - a website which sells adult toys - while Tig Wolf's is for a [[Wikipedia:trademark|trademark]] on the goods themselves. WikiFur makes no claim over which of these (if any) is legally more appropriate, or whether or not the two classes necessarily conflict with one another if both are valid.</ref> The Trademark Examining Attorney has refused registration.

*On 28 July 2008 the German mark "YiffyToys" from Suran was officially entered and published the next day. It was registered later that year.

*On 13 August 2008 the review of the US mark "YiffyToys" from Suran was officially completed, published on 16th September 2008 and registered on 02 December 2008.

*On 11 December 2008 the conflicting US mark-application for Tig Wolf was declined.<ref>[http://tmportal.uspto.gov/external/portal/tow?SRCH=Y&isSubmitted=true&details=&SELECT=US+Serial+No&TEXT=77400748# declined mark-application 77400748]</ref>

*As of 31 March 2009 Jaeger Fuchs is no longer reachable by Suran's lawyer, Suran's lawyer has claimed to have left an invalid phone number.

*As of April the 27th the domain YiffyToys.com was under a UDRP-dispute at the WIPO <ref>[http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search/case.jsp?case_id=15607 WIPO UDRP-case D2009-0549]</ref>.

*On June the 17th the WIPO decided that YiffyToys.com is to be transfered to Suran.

=== Yiffy-toys.de transfer ===

*On 13 March 2008, control of ''yiffy-toys.de'' was released by the law firm acting as administrative contact for Tig Wolf, and transferred to Suran via a dispute entry on 25 March.<ref>''[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/03/yiffy-toysde.html Yiffy-toys.de]'' - Suran, YiffyToys blog (in German; [http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.yiffytoys.de%2F2008%2F03%2Fyiffy-toysde.html&langpair=de|en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 translation] - 25 March 2008)</ref>

*TiGWolf claims to have not authorized this release himself, so it was done by the Law Firm appointed by TigWolf or his registrar as Administrative Contact with the power to do so.

*As of 29 March, ''yiffy-toys.de'' is used by Suran.<ref>[http://www.whois.de/de/showwhois.php?domain=yiffy-toys.de ''yiffy-toys.de'' Whois information] - DENIC</ref>

=== FetishZone ===

On the 21st April 2008, the shop YiffyToys.com was renamed to FetishZone.net. TigWolf still held the domain yiffytoys.com for a year afterwards.

[[Image:H-Con.gif|right|H-Con 2: The Tails on Fire]]
'''H-Con''' is a [[furry]] [[convention]] held at the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus at [[wikipedia:Grasellenbach|Grasellenbach]]-Scharbach, [[wikipedia:Odenwald|Odenwald]], [[wikipedia:Hessen|Hessen]], [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] between the cities of [[Wikipedia:Frankfurt am Main|Frankfurt]] and [[Wikipedia:Heidelberg|Heidelberg]]. The annual conference is hosted each autumn by the [[AFC-Group]].

:''H-Con should not be mixed up with [[HerbstCon]], another German furry convention held in the autumn.''

H-Con claims to be an "old-time" furry convention, where every participating [[fur]] becomes a part of the staff and the food supply is plentiful (all you can eat). The event is primarily organized by [[Atalon Deer]] of the H-Con Committee.

==History==
[[Image:H-Con1.gif|right|100px|H-Con 1: The Forgotten Tails]]

H-Con

2009-09-18T09:48:41Z

Suran: 5 will be held at alternative location

[[Image:H-Con.gif|right|H-Con 2: The Tails on Fire]]
'''H-Con''' is a [[furry]] [[convention]] held at the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus at [[wikipedia:Grasellenbach|Grasellenbach]]-Scharbach, [[wikipedia:Odenwald|Odenwald]], [[wikipedia:Hessen|Hessen]], [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] between the cities of [[Wikipedia:Frankfurt am Main|Frankfurt]] and [[Wikipedia:Heidelberg|Heidelberg]]. The annual conference is hosted each autumn by the [[AFC-Group]].

:''H-Con should not be mixed up with [[HerbstCon]], another German furry convention held in the autumn.''

H-Con claims to be an "old-time" furry convention, where every participating [[fur]] becomes a part of the staff and the food supply is plentiful (all you can eat). The event is primarily organized by [[Atalon Deer]] of the H-Con Committee.

==History==
[[Image:H-Con1.gif|right|100px|H-Con 1: The Forgotten Tails]]
* '''H-Con 1''': "The Forgotten Tails" took place in 2005 from October 2 to 3 and attracted about 45 [[fur]]s.
* '''H-Con 2''': "The Tails on Fire" took place in 2006 from September 29 to October 2, with 53 attendees. A "Dead Dog Night" after-party was held from October 2 to 3.
* '''H-Con 3''' "Tails from the Twilight World" took place in 2007 from October 4 to 7 with the "Dead Dog Night" after-party to follow from October 7 to 8. 48 participants stayed on site, plus 5 off-site and 4 day guests. 1070 kg of food and drinks were consumed during the con. The activities included operation of radio-controlled helicopters and the production of a movie.
* '''H-Con 4''' took place in 2008, October 2 to 5 at the same location, again the number of on-site participants was limited to 50.
* '''H-Con 5''' encountered issues with the former con-site that threatened to endanger the convention. It is held at one of two alternative con-sites that have been found and evaluated.

Suran:

[[Image:FEA_Patch.png|right|140px]]
The '''Furry Enforcement Agency''', also known as '''F.E.A.''', is a small group of [[furs]] in Sydney who purport to fight against [[fursecution]] and [[drama]] in and around the [[furry fandom]].

[[Image:TimonDiegoSupanova2009.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Diego and Timon b]]
[[Image:FEA_Crew.JPG|right|thumb|150px|F.E.A Crew]]
Founded in 2008 by [[Timon_b]] and [[Jacora]], the F.E.A. claims to investigate differences inside the fandom, and to monitor local activities. This is despite [[Timon_b]] himself having been banned from several Australian furry [[convention]]s, [[furmeet]]s, mailing lists, and IRC channels.

F.E.A First made a large appearance with 3 members attending [[supanova]] on the 27th, June, 2009 in Sydney, NSW - Lots of attention was given and many pictures by supanova media were taken, and many questions from the public relating to the furry fandom were answered.{{fact}}

== Staff ==

[[Timon_b]] has styled himself the "Commissioner" of the F.E.A., while [[Jacora]] has the title of "Inspector". F.E.A also has 3 probationary constable.{{fact}}

Suran: updated to reflect the current ownership-situation

'''YiffyToys''' may refer to:

* [[YiffyToys.de]] and [[YiffyToys.us]]/[[YiffyToys.com]], an German based adult supplies company run and owned by [[Suran]].
* [[YiffyToys (name dispute)]], a Wikifur article about a past ownership dispute about the name "YiffyToys".

YiffyToys (name dispute)

2009-07-06T13:10:04Z

Suran: /* FetishZone */ past tense

== Participants ==

There is an ongoing dispute about the use of the name '''YiffyToys'''. 
It was used by two adult supplies companies:
* The former e-commerce site '''[[YiffyToys.com]]''', owned by [[TiGWolf]] and based in the U.S and
* '''[[YiffyToys.de]]''' and '''[[YiffyToys.us]]''', run by [[Suran]] and based in Germany

== Current Status ==

The dispute has been largely resolved, with ''[[YiffyToys.de]]'' continuing to use the name, while the shop ''YiffyToys.com'' has been renamed to [[FetishZone|FetishZone.net]]. 
The site ''yiffy-toys.de'' has been transfered to Suran in March 2008. 
The site ''yiffytoys.com'' has been transfered to Suran on 2009-07-06 after a dispute at the WIPO Arbitration Center ordered it to be transfered to Suran on 2009-06-17. Thus ending this dispute.

== History ==

Suran opened the website ''YiffyToys.de'' in February 2006. The site banner used the full name; however, it was sometimes referred to as "YiffyToys" without the .de suffix. With the later renaming of us.YiffyToys.de to YiffyToys.us this has become the norm.

The domain ''YiffyToys.com'' was purchased by Tig Wolf on 2 November 2007, who subsequently launched an e-commerce website at that address. According to Tig, he relied on the prior non-registration of ''YiffyToys.com'', YiffyToys.net, YiffyToys.org, and YiffyToys.us as an indication that the name was suitable. 
At this time the pair owned another domain ''swollensheath.com'', registered one day earlier.<ref>[http://whois.domaintools.com/swollensheath.com swollensheath.com Whois lookip]</ref>

As both sites sell similar products, Suran expressed concern to Jaeger and Tig that their use of the term would cause confusion. However, Tig stated that by that time the pair had spent considerable funds on legal costs and promotional items related to the name, and were unwilling to change it.

Suran registered the domains ''yiffy-toys.com'', ''yiffytoys.net'' and ''yiffy-toys.org'' on 22 December 2007, while Jaeger and Tig registered ''yiffytoys.org'' and ''yiffy-toys.de'' on the same day.

On 21st April 2008 Jaeger and Tig renamed their shop to ''[[Fetish Zone]]'' and notified customers of their new domain.

Suran:

I know [[Suran]] is arguing with [[Jaeger Fuchs]] and [[Tig Wolf]] about the name, but is this really a dispute in the legal sense of the term? Are there any references for this statement additional to Suran's claims, for example statements from the other party? --[[User:O'wolf|o'wolf]] 19:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
: A UDRP-Dispute in front of a WIPO-Jury has not yet been filed, much less legal action taken. However the site does not say so or imply this at all. Is there a besser word then "to dispute" to describe the matter? --[[User:Suran|Suran]] 02:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
: The german law-firm they had as an admin-c for yiffy-toys.de (as opposed to yiffytoys.de) just had to release that domain to us under threat of legal action. Thus now you may call it a legal dispute. You may take the Denic-dispute-entry in whois as a prove for a dispute. --[[User:Suran|Suran]] 12:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

==Resolved?==
With the creation of [[FetishZone]] is it safe to say at this time that the naming dispute has been resolved with the result that the former yiffytoys.com will no longer be operating under that name? If so, then this article should probably be reworked accordingly. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:41, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

: It's in the process of being resolved. Once they have redirected visitors to that domain for a few month, we'll see what we can agree on regarding the domain. Feel free to edit the article. That's what wikis are for, --[[User:Suran|Suran]] 11:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Suran

2009-06-30T09:26:39Z

Suran: major cleanup

== General ==

Suran is a [[Red Fox]] -character from Germany. 
He has been in around since the early 1990th. 
His very first convention was the [[Eurofurence 3]] in 1997.

'''Occupation:'''

In the fandom he is mostly known due to him running the adult-shops [[YiffyToys.de]] and [[YiffyToys.us]] mainly focused on European furs.

== how to spot a fox ==

Suran can be easily spotted on the [[Furrymap]]. 
He spends a significant amount of time in [[Pantherchat]]. 
He can also be found in the [[Furbase]] and [[Eurofurence]] forums. 
He once was on [[Second Life]] as '''Suran Flintoff'''.

== Fursuits ==

Suran is also an active [[fursuiter]].

'''Foxes'''

He made two fox suits himself. 
One hand-made within more then a year of work and a second one using an overlock-sewing-machine in a few weeks. 
The shell of the second head later broke and attention focused on a completely new suit instead of the difficult repairs that would be needed.

* [http://fursuit.de/cms/images/f/f4/Suran_suit1.jpg (photo)]
* [http://db.fursuit.org/index.php?c=viewsuit&id=934 this suit] in the [[the Fursuit Database]].

'''Wuffel'''

Some years later he had a body made for a [[Lance Ikegawa]] head he won in a [[charity auction]] at [[Eurofurence]].

YiffyToys (name dispute)

2009-06-23T13:34:45Z

Suran: indention

== Participants ==

There is an ongoing dispute about the use of the name '''YiffyToys'''. 
It was used by two adult supplies companies:
* The former e-commerce site '''[[YiffyToys.com]]''', owned by [[TiGWolf]] and based in the U.S and
* '''[[YiffyToys.de]]''' and '''[[YiffyToys.us]]''', run by [[Suran]] and based in Germany

== Current Status ==

The dispute has now been largely resolved, with ''YiffyToys.de'' continuing to use the name, while the shop ''YiffyToys.com'' has been renamed to [[FetishZone|FetishZone.net]]. 
The site ''yiffy-toys.de'' has been transfered to Suran in March 2008. 
However the domain ''YiffyToys.com'' is still operated by TigWolf but a dispute at the WIPO Arbitration Center just (2009-06-17) ordered it to be transfered to Suran too. Thus ending this dispute.

== History ==

Suran opened the website ''YiffyToys.de'' in February 2006. The site banner used the full name; however, it was sometimes referred to as "YiffyToys" without the .de suffix. With the later renaming of us.YiffyToys.de to YiffyToys.us this has become the norm.

The domain ''YiffyToys.com'' was purchased by Tig Wolf on 2 November 2007, who subsequently launched an e-commerce website at that address. According to Tig, he relied on the prior non-registration of ''YiffyToys.com'', YiffyToys.net, YiffyToys.org, and YiffyToys.us as an indication that the name was suitable. 
At this time the pair owned another domain ''swollensheath.com'', registered one day earlier.<ref>[http://whois.domaintools.com/swollensheath.com swollensheath.com Whois lookip]</ref>

As both sites sell similar products, Suran expressed concern to Jaeger and Tig that their use of the term would cause confusion. However, Tig stated that by that time the pair had spent considerable funds on legal costs and promotional items related to the name, and were unwilling to change it.

Suran registered the domains ''yiffy-toys.com'', ''yiffytoys.net'' and ''yiffy-toys.org'' on 22 December 2007, while Jaeger and Tig registered ''yiffytoys.org'' and ''yiffy-toys.de'' on the same day.

On 21st April 2008 Jaeger and Tig renamed their shop to ''[[Fetish Zone]]'' and notified customers of their new domain.

== What is wrong with Cubist???? ==

Honestly, what is this person's problem? Their retort to my post is baffling to say that least - as if they're on the verge of insanity or something...

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Cubist, Have you ever even considered the the situation might be a result of the "breakdown of diplomacy"? If neither side is willing to lower their sabre, at least part way, things will only continue the way they have been.

Removing his name would not necessarily have to be permanent - whether it remains off the article would be dependant upon Mozdoc's future conduct.

It seems that in this day and age, the only thing being polite and respectful gets a person is ignored, told to f - off, or hit. And THAT is what I believe is going on with Mozdoc - society has kind of taught him the bad habit that unless you are confrontational and ready to resort to force, people will not listen to you.

If we are going to judge Mozdoc on what society as a whole has drummed into him, then we need also judge ourselves.

Do we wish to continue on this downward spiral that civilization is sliding down, or do we wish to TRY to at least slow the degeneration?

All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER! 22:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Shorter 'Vladuz': "If we don't remove Mozdoc's real name from his Wikifur page, the terrorists win!" Overblown histrionics much, V-boy? I say you're a concern troll, and I say the hell with you. And my vote remains the same. Cubist 11:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I ask you, is there ANYTHING in my post that could be considered an attack on Cubist? And do you know of any reason why Cubist would choose to launch an attack upon me?

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 17:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:The simplest conclusion is that he is being honest - that the reason for his assertion is he believes you to be a [[Wikipedia:Internet troll#Concern troll|concern troll]]. I don't see any reason to suggest that he is implying that you made an attack on him - just that he strongly disagrees with you and suspects your motives. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:03, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

QUOTE CUBIST: '''Shorter 'Vladuz': "If we don't remove Mozdoc's real name from his Wikifur page, the terrorists win!" Overblown histrionics much, V-boy?'''

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 18:06, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:Right. He believes that your statements are overblown histronics. The form of his expression might be considered an attack on you, but does not imply that he felt that you attacked ''him'', as you said. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

"A concern troll is a false flag pseudonym created by a user whose point of view is opposed to the one that the user's sockpuppet claims to hold. The concern troll posts in web forums devoted to its declared point of view and attempts to sway the group's actions or opinions while claiming to share their goals, but with professed "concerns". The goal is to sow fear, uncertainty and doubt within the group."

Excuse me a moment... (Falls out of chair laughing).

Ok, so let me get this straight - because I am TRYING to to get both sides to stand down to some degree, Cubist is claiming that I am Mozdoc using a second account???? Oh good lord, not ANOTHER person like "triple W" :)) Why is it anytime someone doesn't agree, they have to claim that the person they disagree with is a "sock"???? That is really pathetic, do you not think?

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 18:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:No, that is not the meaning of the term. He appears to believe that you do not actually support the same goals as the wiki, but are trying to subvert them by pretending that you do. For example, if giving people fair treatment was one of the goals of the wiki you might express concerns that Mozdoc is not getting fair treatment, thereby hoping to elicit sympathy from those who would otherwise have a neutral or negative opinion. The trouble with making such assertions is that people's motives are unknown to us without some external form of confirmation, therefore they are hard to prove or disprove. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The method Cubist used to do it is SO childish, it makes me wonder if I should just put him/her over me knee and spank him/her. :))

Mozdoc needs to learn to control his temper - I can sympathize with that. I also know how most of society can literally drive people like Mozdoc to such actions.

By only using punishment against him, we only further reinforce his behavior. That's not to say we should just give in and remove it to stop threats - just the opposite. HOWEVER, If it is removed, and you and the others make it CLEARLY known that
1 - it CAN be added in again should the threats resume.
2 - that it is being done for fairness sake.

I believe it will have a greater positive impact not only on the conflict but upon Mozdoc himself.

By the way, kindly take a look at my user page ;) :))
That should (hopefully) show we are two different peole - Mozdoc tends to simply open fire, wjile I tend to toy with those who make such pathetic attacks.

[[User:AnthroSamurai|So I am a SOCK?? WHY am I always the last to know these things? :))]] 18:55, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:As far as I know, the only person who has brought up the concept of you being the same person as Mozdoc is you. The assertions made by Cubist relate to the pursuit of similar goals while professing neutrality, not similar identity.

:I am unsure how much any of us can help Mozdoc. I've talked to him on several occasions and made no long-term progress. The whole reason the page is here in the first place is that counseling hasn't worked to stop the harassment of others in the fandom. As I understand it, its purpose isn't to coerce the subject into good behaviour (because punishment doesn't work), but to ameliorate the effects of his bad behaviour on others. The question is whether or not the real name is a requirement for this. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Content Concern ==

Hey dude! I have a suggestion that Wiki Fur needs to be kept PG rated as possible since we don't want people offended by nude and yiff images. I have to change an image from one of the articles here. Remember you have furries going to this site from all over the world and we need to respect them as much as we can. [[User:ChuongChoSoi|ChuongChoSoi]] 18:02, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

:Hello Chuong. [[WikiFur:What WikiFur is not#WikiFur is not censored for the protection of minors|WikiFur policy]] (like [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not censored|Wikipedia's policy]]) is that our content may be of any rating because of the variety of topics within the fandom. There are many topics of a mature nature, and some mature elements within other topic. We appreciate that there are differences in morals around the world, but we would rather not censor ourselves just to fit the more restrictive societies.

:Nevertheless, I thank you for changing the picture, not because the original picture was naked, but because I believe it is a better (more accurate) depiction of fat furs. That said, you do not appear to be the copyright holder, so I must ask you - did you obtain permission to use it from the author, [http://gokutothez.deviantart.com/ gokutothez]? If we are not talking about the specific character, it is not fair for us to use it without permission. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:22, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Mr.GreenReaper,

I am writing this on behalf of Thaily Brimstone, her page, [[Thaily Brimstone]] has been restored. Could you please remove this and lock it down. She does not wish to have any article about her on this site.

Thank you for your understanding,

PeglaSkunk

:Please, call me Green. ;-)
:I have in fact just done this, after a conversation with Thaily over ICQ to clarify her intentions. The main issue was the percieved non-neutrality of excluding some pieces of information but not others; we're actually more comfortable with complete exclusion, and it seems so was Thaily, so everyone's happy. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 08:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

== Admissibility of [[Happy Feet]]-related articles ==

Hello,

When {{u|Higgs Raccoon}} created [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Diti&oldid=206809 this article] about me, I was pleased, of course. This event lead me to think more of the concept of this wiki, and it is actually very good. I now want to contribute on it as much as I do on Wikipedia.

I just wanted to know, since {{u|Higgs Raccoon}} wikified the word [[Happy Feet]], if we were allowed:
# To make an article about the [http://penguins.wikia.com/wiki/Happy_Feet_Fan_Forum Happy Feet Fan Forum], constituted by some furs, and perhaps more than we know. This page is under the GFDL as well, can I copy some informations from it? Where do the authors need to be credited? Talk page or article page?
# To put gigantic informations about this movie, a sort of analysis, and its application to the [[Furry fandom|fandom]]? Can we upload pictures, using the fair use act?

Thanks for your upcoming replies! :) [[User:Diti|Diti]] ([[User talk:Diti|talk to the penguin]]) 14:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

:There's basically two options for the forum - either create [[Happy Feet]] and make the forum a subsection of that, or create [[Happy Feet Fan Forum]]. The normal thing to do is the latter - have a separate article for the forum. I would suggest tightening the language in the history section a little, though. It should concentrate on the facts, not subjective statements like "grew quickly" (how quickly?). The talk page should mention and link to the prior article.

:We tend not to do really huge articles about commercial works because Wikipedia does it better than us. We are not created to compete with them in their field of expertise - we would rather readers and editors went there instead. Therefore, what I would recommend is to make an article with an overview of the movie, but which concentrates ''specifically'' on the usage of Happy Feet within the furry fandom (which Wikipedia is not likely to cover), and then point people to [[Wikipedia:Happy Feet|Wikipedia's article]] in the "See also" section. Fair use is fine. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:04, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

== Opening the door... ==

Question: How come there is an article on [[centaur]]s but not one on [[mermaid]]s? Recently, I was going to write a article about mermaids and I saw the log about it being deleted because it's "not furry". I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence here but, a centaur is "top half human, lower half horse" (you know what I mean) and a mermaid is "half woman half fish" I seriously don't see the problem...

Is it because there are [[foxtaur]]s, [[skunktaur]]s and [[chakat]]s, and one would be very hard pressed to find a picture of a furry mermaid? Or because if an article on the mermaid is allowed, it'll open the door for articles on the lamia (half woman half snake), medusa, the harpy and anansi (part man, part spider I think)?

I'm confused... [[User:Tai 1|Tai 1]] 03:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

== Toolbox in ru.wikifur.com ==
Hi, GreenReaper. Thank you for creating Wikifur.com itself and Russian language part! Toolbox on the left sidebar has wrong link to Upload file feature. It needs to be changed to [http://ru.wikifur.com/wiki/Служебная:Upload Служебная:Upload].
As for now I have many questions to you about customization of ru.wikifur.com. Which way of contacting you is more appropriate for questions regarding ru.wikifur? (email, IRC, ICQ, maybe ru.talk page, any other) [[User:OckhamTheFox|OckhamTheFox]] 07:11, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:Hi Ockham! My contact information is [http://greenreaper.livejournal.com/profile here] (make sure you are logged on). Email, IRC and/or ICQ is fine - I am always on the first two if awake. As for the images, the plan had been to upload all new images to the pool wiki, so that they could be used on all languages (like Wikimedia Commons) - but if you think that is not going to work I can change the link back. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])
One shared file repository is a good idea for saving server drive space. But motivation of anon users to register is lowered since no more extra feature of uploading files available. Ok, so be it. The second problem is russification of WikiFur namespace. ВикиФур: is counted like articles and may appear in Random articles. For example ru.wikipedia Википедия: is counted the same as in en.wikipedia Wikipedia:. [[User:OckhamTheFox|OckhamTheFox]] 15:54, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:Honestly, the disk space is not so important as the time. It takes work to translate a page. If you have to upload all of the images in it as well, that is more work. I would like to avoid that work for most images. People still need to register to use the image pool (but we would like to make it be just one registration for all WikiFur in the near future). If there is any interface text that needs to be changed on the pool wiki to help Russian contributors, I would be glad to do so. Images can still be uploaded locally by going directly to Special:Upload.
:The problem with ВикиФур: is that ВикиФур was not the name of the project namespace. WikiFur was, because that was the site name, and by default the site name is the name of the project namespace. I have changed the name of the site to ВикиФур and adjusted the database so that the pages already created are in the project namespace rather than the main namespace. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:18, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

:The thing to do is probably to ask community@wikia.com to enable the additional Analytics account for the wiki.

I was wondering if you could delete [[User:Nekonaru Letao]] and [[Nekonaru Letao]]. I don't really want/need them anymore, and I'm trying to cut down the amount of information about me.

[[User:Nekonaru Letao|Nekonaru Letao]] 18:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
:I can help you with this. Your User page is your area so it can be handled how you like. Your article can be handled under the [[WikiFur:PE|personal exclusion]] policy. If you change your mind, or a lesser exclusion would be acceptable(for instance, excluding the real name only), let any admin know. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:33, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

== People blanking own articles - explanation template? ==

Hey there GreenReaper,

I just wanted to ask one thing: I think we all know that many people often just blank their own articles, either not knowing or not caring about exclusions. As far as I know this behavior is not really wanted by anyone of us, thus my question here: As those people have to be told about the possibility of an exclusion after they blanked their article without knowing, it is always somehow necessary to tell them, explain and direct them to the correct pages. so, is there maybe any template containing this informations, that could just be added to a user's talkpage AFTER they tried blanking their own article? This would make explaining easier and much faster I guess.
I think that'd be a nice idea, just as a suggestion of mine. Have a nice day, greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 07:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

:I don't think there is one at this time. You're welcome to start one, and add it to [[WikiFur:Templates]]! Just remember, it can be a good idea to personalize the information and often it's better to try and follow up with them directly rather than leaving a note on their talk page. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== Finding all pages linking to an article ==

Hey there, just another question from me. I know that, of course, it's important to change all links if you moved an article to a new name so everything keeps working fine. Thus my question: Is is somehow possible to see all pages linking to a specific article, like it is shown at uploaded pictures? Or which way can this be handled otherwise, as I think just searching for the corresponding word in the article search is not working very well. Thanks for your answer in advance. Greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 11:36, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:Hi, RealZero. The toolbox on the left side of the page should have What links here. It leads to http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/User_talk:GreenReaper and should work for any page--just put that page name after the final slash. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:52, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey there GreenReaper,
I have a question regarding templates in articles: 
Many articles, like for example [[Gathering of the Gargoyles]] have some kind of redirect-text to a template in them, in this case for the inappropriate template, instead of the actual template "image".

See my change: [[Love_Can_Be_Different]]. Worked in RU but not here... -- [[User:Wesha|Wesha]] 00:30, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:That is because the pool is not used by Wikia-hosted wikis. You must upload the image here as well. This limitation will only be removed once migration has been completed. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 03:14, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:: Also, stuff from Wikicommons does properly show on Pool, but not on RU? -- [[User:Wesha|Wesha]] 15:25, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:::Not really sure where you got that idea. It shouldn't show up anywhere, because we're not linked to Wikimedia Commons. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:16, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:::: Oh I got it. Somebody helpfully uploaded Image:Red copyright.svg from commons to here... I was wondering because my [[:Template:Message box]] designs from wiki* started working here magically... But! The main question was: why copyright image shows on http://pool.wikifur.com/wiki/Image:Simba_pic.jpg and not on http://ru.wikifur.com/wiki/%D0%98%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5:Simba_pic.jpg ? The image is in the pool, so it puzzles me... -- [[User:Wesha|Wesha]] 15:43, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

::::: Well, it does show up for me. :-) Maybe you need to force a refresh/clear cache? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 15:50, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== Message From RVDDP2501 - Extinctioners protection ==

Hey GreenReaper, I'm sorry if this may seem overboard but I was wondering if it would be possible to try and protect the Extinctioners wiki article as I have just learned in recent hours that everything extinctioners as been 'attacked' by a hacker(s), everything from Yahoo groups being deleated to Shawntae Howard's own FA & DA acounts being wiped clean. I hope I don;t come across as acting paranoid but from the looks of things, it seems some one is gunning for Extinctioners and the wiki article could be a target, you can read the report/forum on FA here - http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=35514 - Please let me know what you feel should be done, thank you and take care - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 19:39, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
:Ah ok I see, thanks, I guess I was a little worried that if someone could hack their way into FA, DA and the yahoo groups and mess around to the extent they did, they could do something permanent here as well, I guess I was a little jumpy, thanks again and take care - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 21:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

== Help with image ==

Hi there,

I uploaded a few images of my fursuits, but didn't realize under after I'd done it that "rat.jpg" and "panther.jpg" was far too general a file name - is there any way to change the names? Or, is there any way to delete these files so I can re-upload them with more appropriate names?

Also, I hope this is where I'm supposed to ask this, I'm not very wiki-savvy.

Thanks,
--[[User:Wggthegnoll|Wgg the Gnoll]] 18:37, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

:Sure, I've deleted those for you. There's no way to move images at this time, although I understand that functionality is being developed. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

== Webring ==

Hi,

Please advise why you dumped my Webring code. I put it back, because I thought it was a great idea to have the Hyper Police page in the Hyper Police Ring. I didn't even know that this place existed until I did a Hyper Police search and I am sure that there are lots of others that don't know about it either, so a Webring is a great way to bring more traffic here. I hope you will let me keep it here. Also, I have seen other Webrings on here.

Thank you,

--[[User:Noriko Mori|Noriko Mori]] 03:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

:A webring is not useful for a wiki article on a topic because it is basically a replacement for a set of links. These links should instead be placed in the article's external links section of the article if they are of sufficient relevance and contain useful information, and not linked at all if they are not.

:Webrings were great for finding relevant sites ten years ago. They're pretty much redundant with search, now. If you find one on here, you are welcome to replace it with specific links to useful websites on the ring. We're not interested in being part of any. If websites find us useful, they're welcome to link directly if they wish.

:We do cover them at [[:Category:Web rings]], but only because the more long-running webrings have become valid encyclopedic topics by themselves. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:13, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I have been involved with Webring ever since its inception and I find it quite insulting of you to put down all my hard work with them like that. I run some 40 rings, myself and have lots of friends there. I feel very sad that you don't welcome us here...

--[[User:Noriko Mori|Noriko Mori]] 04:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Noriko

:I'm sorry, but it is my honest opinion. We're here to provide information. A webring that you just created provides no additional value over direct links to the relevant sites. It is therefore redundant and so was removed from the article.

:I also feel it is inappropriate for us to be part of webrings that relate to our article content, as it implicitly promotes a particular group of websites related to that topic. We do not participate in link exchanges or banner trading either. The links we provide are based solely on the quality of the sites' content, and are not for sale or exchange. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:32, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

== RL name linked against noted wishes ==

Sebkha apparently put my truename on and it redirects to Zjonni. The notes on Zjonni expressly say I don't want that, but it appears this was done a month before the do-not-want note and not caught when I put the note up. I can edit the redirect page, but cannot apparently, erase it. Can you kindly make it go away?

Thanks!

Suran can be easily spotted on the [[Furrymap]].

He spends a significant amount of time in [[Pantherchat]].

Suran is also an active [[fursuiter]].

=== Foxes ===
He made two fox suits himself. One hand-made and a second using an overlock-sewing-machine.

The shell of the second head later broke and attention focused on a completely new suit instead of the difficult repairs needed.

== What is wrong with Cubist???? ==

Honestly, what is this person's problem? Their retort to my post is baffling to say that least - as if they're on the verge of insanity or something...

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Cubist, Have you ever even considered the the situation might be a result of the "breakdown of diplomacy"? If neither side is willing to lower their sabre, at least part way, things will only continue the way they have been.

Removing his name would not necessarily have to be permanent - whether it remains off the article would be dependant upon Mozdoc's future conduct.

It seems that in this day and age, the only thing being polite and respectful gets a person is ignored, told to f - off, or hit. And THAT is what I believe is going on with Mozdoc - society has kind of taught him the bad habit that unless you are confrontational and ready to resort to force, people will not listen to you.

If we are going to judge Mozdoc on what society as a whole has drummed into him, then we need also judge ourselves.

Do we wish to continue on this downward spiral that civilization is sliding down, or do we wish to TRY to at least slow the degeneration?

All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER! 22:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Shorter 'Vladuz': "If we don't remove Mozdoc's real name from his Wikifur page, the terrorists win!" Overblown histrionics much, V-boy? I say you're a concern troll, and I say the hell with you. And my vote remains the same. Cubist 11:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I ask you, is there ANYTHING in my post that could be considered an attack on Cubist? And do you know of any reason why Cubist would choose to launch an attack upon me?

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 17:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:The simplest conclusion is that he is being honest - that the reason for his assertion is he believes you to be a [[Wikipedia:Internet troll#Concern troll|concern troll]]. I don't see any reason to suggest that he is implying that you made an attack on him - just that he strongly disagrees with you and suspects your motives. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:03, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

QUOTE CUBIST: '''Shorter 'Vladuz': "If we don't remove Mozdoc's real name from his Wikifur page, the terrorists win!" Overblown histrionics much, V-boy?'''

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 18:06, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:Right. He believes that your statements are overblown histronics. The form of his expression might be considered an attack on you, but does not imply that he felt that you attacked ''him'', as you said. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

"A concern troll is a false flag pseudonym created by a user whose point of view is opposed to the one that the user's sockpuppet claims to hold. The concern troll posts in web forums devoted to its declared point of view and attempts to sway the group's actions or opinions while claiming to share their goals, but with professed "concerns". The goal is to sow fear, uncertainty and doubt within the group."

Excuse me a moment... (Falls out of chair laughing).

Ok, so let me get this straight - because I am TRYING to to get both sides to stand down to some degree, Cubist is claiming that I am Mozdoc using a second account???? Oh good lord, not ANOTHER person like "triple W" :)) Why is it anytime someone doesn't agree, they have to claim that the person they disagree with is a "sock"???? That is really pathetic, do you not think?

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 18:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:No, that is not the meaning of the term. He appears to believe that you do not actually support the same goals as the wiki, but are trying to subvert them by pretending that you do. For example, if giving people fair treatment was one of the goals of the wiki you might express concerns that Mozdoc is not getting fair treatment, thereby hoping to elicit sympathy from those who would otherwise have a neutral or negative opinion. The trouble with making such assertions is that people's motives are unknown to us without some external form of confirmation, therefore they are hard to prove or disprove. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The method Cubist used to do it is SO childish, it makes me wonder if I should just put him/her over me knee and spank him/her. :))

Mozdoc needs to learn to control his temper - I can sympathize with that. I also know how most of society can literally drive people like Mozdoc to such actions.

By only using punishment against him, we only further reinforce his behavior. That's not to say we should just give in and remove it to stop threats - just the opposite. HOWEVER, If it is removed, and you and the others make it CLEARLY known that
1 - it CAN be added in again should the threats resume.
2 - that it is being done for fairness sake.

I believe it will have a greater positive impact not only on the conflict but upon Mozdoc himself.

By the way, kindly take a look at my user page ;) :))
That should (hopefully) show we are two different peole - Mozdoc tends to simply open fire, wjile I tend to toy with those who make such pathetic attacks.

[[User:AnthroSamurai|So I am a SOCK?? WHY am I always the last to know these things? :))]] 18:55, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:As far as I know, the only person who has brought up the concept of you being the same person as Mozdoc is you. The assertions made by Cubist relate to the pursuit of similar goals while professing neutrality, not similar identity.

:I am unsure how much any of us can help Mozdoc. I've talked to him on several occasions and made no long-term progress. The whole reason the page is here in the first place is that counseling hasn't worked to stop the harassment of others in the fandom. As I understand it, its purpose isn't to coerce the subject into good behaviour (because punishment doesn't work), but to ameliorate the effects of his bad behaviour on others. The question is whether or not the real name is a requirement for this. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Content Concern ==

Hey dude! I have a suggestion that Wiki Fur needs to be kept PG rated as possible since we don't want people offended by nude and yiff images. I have to change an image from one of the articles here. Remember you have furries going to this site from all over the world and we need to respect them as much as we can. [[User:ChuongChoSoi|ChuongChoSoi]] 18:02, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

:Hello Chuong. [[WikiFur:What WikiFur is not#WikiFur is not censored for the protection of minors|WikiFur policy]] (like [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not censored|Wikipedia's policy]]) is that our content may be of any rating because of the variety of topics within the fandom. There are many topics of a mature nature, and some mature elements within other topic. We appreciate that there are differences in morals around the world, but we would rather not censor ourselves just to fit the more restrictive societies.

== Entry: Thaily ==

Greetings Mr.GreenReaper,

I am writing this on behalf of Thaily Brimstone, her page, [[Thaily Brimstone]] has been restored. Could you please remove this and lock it down. She does not wish to have any article about her on this site.

Thank you for your understanding,

PeglaSkunk

:Please, call me Green. ;-)
:I have in fact just done this, after a conversation with Thaily over ICQ to clarify her intentions. The main issue was the percieved non-neutrality of excluding some pieces of information but not others; we're actually more comfortable with complete exclusion, and it seems so was Thaily, so everyone's happy. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 08:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Good Evening GreenReaper:

I am looking for assistance in adding "Rukario" to the list of clickable fursuit links on Wikifur under the heading of "fursuit".

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

== Admissibility of [[Happy Feet]]-related articles ==

Hello,

When {{u|Higgs Raccoon}} created [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Diti&oldid=206809 this article] about me, I was pleased, of course. This event lead me to think more of the concept of this wiki, and it is actually very good. I now want to contribute on it as much as I do on Wikipedia.

I just wanted to know, since {{u|Higgs Raccoon}} wikified the word [[Happy Feet]], if we were allowed:
# To make an article about the [http://penguins.wikia.com/wiki/Happy_Feet_Fan_Forum Happy Feet Fan Forum], constituted by some furs, and perhaps more than we know. This page is under the GFDL as well, can I copy some informations from it? Where do the authors need to be credited? Talk page or article page?
# To put gigantic informations about this movie, a sort of analysis, and its application to the [[Furry fandom|fandom]]? Can we upload pictures, using the fair use act?

Thanks for your upcoming replies! :) [[User:Diti|Diti]] ([[User talk:Diti|talk to the penguin]]) 14:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

:There's basically two options for the forum - either create [[Happy Feet]] and make the forum a subsection of that, or create [[Happy Feet Fan Forum]]. The normal thing to do is the latter - have a separate article for the forum. I would suggest tightening the language in the history section a little, though. It should concentrate on the facts, not subjective statements like "grew quickly" (how quickly?). The talk page should mention and link to the prior article.

:We tend not to do really huge articles about commercial works because Wikipedia does it better than us. We are not created to compete with them in their field of expertise - we would rather readers and editors went there instead. Therefore, what I would recommend is to make an article with an overview of the movie, but which concentrates ''specifically'' on the usage of Happy Feet within the furry fandom (which Wikipedia is not likely to cover), and then point people to [[Wikipedia:Happy Feet|Wikipedia's article]] in the "See also" section. Fair use is fine. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:04, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

== Opening the door... ==

Question: How come there is an article on [[centaur]]s but not one on [[mermaid]]s? Recently, I was going to write a article about mermaids and I saw the log about it being deleted because it's "not furry". I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence here but, a centaur is "top half human, lower half horse" (you know what I mean) and a mermaid is "half woman half fish" I seriously don't see the problem...

Is it because there are [[foxtaur]]s, [[skunktaur]]s and [[chakat]]s, and one would be very hard pressed to find a picture of a furry mermaid? Or because if an article on the mermaid is allowed, it'll open the door for articles on the lamia (half woman half snake), medusa, the harpy and anansi (part man, part spider I think)?

I'm confused... [[User:Tai 1|Tai 1]] 03:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

== Toolbox in ru.wikifur.com ==
Hi, GreenReaper. Thank you for creating Wikifur.com itself and Russian language part! Toolbox on the left sidebar has wrong link to Upload file feature. It needs to be changed to [http://ru.wikifur.com/wiki/Служебная:Upload Служебная:Upload].
As for now I have many questions to you about customization of ru.wikifur.com. Which way of contacting you is more appropriate for questions regarding ru.wikifur? (email, IRC, ICQ, maybe ru.talk page, any other) [[User:OckhamTheFox|OckhamTheFox]] 07:11, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:Hi Ockham! My contact information is [http://greenreaper.livejournal.com/profile here] (make sure you are logged on). Email, IRC and/or ICQ is fine - I am always on the first two if awake. As for the images, the plan had been to upload all new images to the pool wiki, so that they could be used on all languages (like Wikimedia Commons) - but if you think that is not going to work I can change the link back. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])
One shared file repository is a good idea for saving server drive space. But motivation of anon users to register is lowered since no more extra feature of uploading files available. Ok, so be it. The second problem is russification of WikiFur namespace. ВикиФур: is counted like articles and may appear in Random articles. For example ru.wikipedia Википедия: is counted the same as in en.wikipedia Wikipedia:. [[User:OckhamTheFox|OckhamTheFox]] 15:54, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:Honestly, the disk space is not so important as the time. It takes work to translate a page. If you have to upload all of the images in it as well, that is more work. I would like to avoid that work for most images. People still need to register to use the image pool (but we would like to make it be just one registration for all WikiFur in the near future). If there is any interface text that needs to be changed on the pool wiki to help Russian contributors, I would be glad to do so. Images can still be uploaded locally by going directly to Special:Upload.
:The problem with ВикиФур: is that ВикиФур was not the name of the project namespace. WikiFur was, because that was the site name, and by default the site name is the name of the project namespace. I have changed the name of the site to ВикиФур and adjusted the database so that the pages already created are in the project namespace rather than the main namespace. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:18, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

:The thing to do is probably to ask community@wikia.com to enable the additional Analytics account for the wiki.

== Article deletion ==

I was wondering if you could delete [[User:Nekonaru Letao]] and [[Nekonaru Letao]]. I don't really want/need them anymore, and I'm trying to cut down the amount of information about me. If I just edit it out, it can be found in previous versions, but if it's deleted, then it's a bit harder to find.

[[User:Nekonaru Letao|Nekonaru Letao]] 18:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
:I can help you with this. Your User page is your area so it can be handled how you like. Your article can be handled under the [[WikiFur:PE|personal exclusion]] policy. If you change your mind, or a lesser exclusion would be acceptable(for instance, excluding the real name only), let any admin know. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:33, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

== People blanking own articles - explanation template? ==

Hey there GreenReaper,

I just wanted to ask one thing: I think we all know that many people often just blank their own articles, either not knowing or not caring about exclusions. As far as I know this behavior is not really wanted by anyone of us, thus my question here: As those people have to be told about the possibility of an exclusion after they blanked their article without knowing, it is always somehow necessary to tell them, explain and direct them to the correct pages. so, is there maybe any template containing this informations, that could just be added to a user's talkpage AFTER they tried blanking their own article? This would make explaining easier and much faster I guess.
I think that'd be a nice idea, just as a suggestion of mine. Have a nice day, greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 07:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

:I don't think there is one at this time. You're welcome to start one, and add it to [[WikiFur:Templates]]! Just remember, it can be a good idea to personalize the information and often it's better to try and follow up with them directly rather than leaving a note on their talk page. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== Finding all pages linking to an article ==

Hey there, just another question from me. I know that, of course, it's important to change all links if you moved an article to a new name so everything keeps working fine. Thus my question: Is is somehow possible to see all pages linking to a specific article, like it is shown at uploaded pictures? Or which way can this be handled otherwise, as I think just searching for the corresponding word in the article search is not working very well. Thanks for your answer in advance. Greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 11:36, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:Hi, RealZero. The toolbox on the left side of the page should have What links here. It leads to http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/User_talk:GreenReaper and should work for any page--just put that page name after the final slash. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:52, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

:It is odd . . . that page was not created by any user, but instead has been set as the default for that message in German on all wikis.

== Inserted redirects to templates instead of regular template. ==

Hey there GreenReaper,
I have a question regarding templates in articles: 
Many articles, like for example [[Gathering of the Gargoyles]] have some kind of redirect-text to a template in them, in this case for the inappropriate template, instead of the actual template "image". Is this some kind of error and should be changed if one comes across them, or does this actually has some kind of sense? Thanks in advance for your answer, I hope I haven't missed anything obvious again. Greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 15:53, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey GreenReaper, I'm sorry if this may seem overboard but I was wondering if it would be possible to try and protect the Extinctioners wiki article as I have just learned in recent hours that everything extinctioners as been 'attacked' by a hacker(s), everything from Yahoo groups being deleated to Shawntae Howard's own FA & DA acounts being wiped clean. I hope I don;t come across as acting paranoid but from the looks of things, it seems some one is gunning for Extinctioners and the wiki article could be a target, you can read the report/forum on FA here - http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=35514 - Please let me know what you feel should be done, thank you and take care - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 19:39, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
:Ah ok I see, thanks, I guess I was a little worried that if someone could hack their way into FA, DA and the yahoo groups and mess around to the extent they did, they could do something permanent here as well, I guess I was a little jumpy, thanks again and take care - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 21:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

== Help with image ==

Hi there,

I uploaded a few images of my fursuits, but didn't realize under after I'd done it that "rat.jpg" and "panther.jpg" was far too general a file name - is there any way to change the names? Or, is there any way to delete these files so I can re-upload them with more appropriate names?

Also, I hope this is where I'm supposed to ask this, I'm not very wiki-savvy.

Thanks,
--[[User:Wggthegnoll|Wgg the Gnoll]] 18:37, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

:Sure, I've deleted those for you. There's no way to move images at this time, although I understand that functionality is being developed. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

== Webring ==

Hi,

Please advise why you dumped my Webring code. I put it back, because I thought it was a great idea to have the Hyper Police page in the Hyper Police Ring. I didn't even know that this place existed until I did a Hyper Police search and I am sure that there are lots of others that don't know about it either, so a Webring is a great way to bring more traffic here. I hope you will let me keep it here. Also, I have seen other Webrings on here.

Thank you,

--[[User:Noriko Mori|Noriko Mori]] 03:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

:A webring is not useful for a wiki article on a topic because it is basically a replacement for a set of links. These links should instead be placed in the article's external links section of the article if they are of sufficient relevance and contain useful information, and not linked at all if they are not.

:Webrings were great for finding relevant sites ten years ago. They're pretty much redundant with search, now. If you find one on here, you are welcome to replace it with specific links to useful websites on the ring. We're not interested in being part of any. If websites find us useful, they're welcome to link directly if they wish.

:We do cover them at [[:Category:Web rings]], but only because the more long-running webrings have become valid encyclopedic topics by themselves. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:13, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I have been involved with Webring ever since its inception and I find it quite insulting of you to put down all my hard work with them like that. I run some 40 rings, myself and have lots of friends there. I feel very sad that you don't welcome us here...

--[[User:Noriko Mori|Noriko Mori]] 04:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Noriko

:I'm sorry, but it is my honest opinion. We're here to provide information. A webring that you just created provides no additional value over direct links to the relevant sites. It is therefore redundant and so was removed from the article.

:I also feel it is inappropriate for us to be part of webrings that relate to our article content, as it implicitly promotes a particular group of websites related to that topic. We do not participate in link exchanges or banner trading either. The links we provide are based solely on the quality of the sites' content, and are not for sale or exchange. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:32, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

== RL name linked against noted wishes ==

Sebkha apparently put my truename on and it redirects to Zjonni. The notes on Zjonni expressly say I don't want that, but it appears this was done a month before the do-not-want note and not caught when I put the note up. I can edit the redirect page, but cannot apparently, erase it. Can you kindly make it go away?

YiffyToys (name dispute)

2009-06-11T12:12:55Z

Suran: wikified the page and made it easier to read (as noone else has done this in the last weeks)

== Participants ==

There is an ongoing dispute about the use of the name '''YiffyToys'''. 
It was used by two adult supplies companies:
* The former e-commerce site '''[[YiffyToys.com]]''', owned by [[TiGWolf]] and based in the U.S and
* '''[[YiffyToys.de]]''' and '''[[YiffyToys.us]]''', run by [[Suran]] and based in Germany

== Current Status ==

The dispute has now been largely resolved, with ''YiffyToys.de'' continuing to use the name, while the shop ''YiffyToys.com'' has been renamed to [[FetishZone|FetishZone.net]]. 
The site ''yiffy-toys.de'' has been transfered to Suran in March 2008. 
However the domain ''YiffyToys.com'' is still operated by TigWolf and under dispute at the WIPO Arbitration Center.

== History ==

Suran opened the website ''YiffyToys.de'' in February 2006. The site banner used the full name; however, it was sometimes referred to as "YiffyToys" without the .de suffix. With the later renaming of us.YiffyToys.de to YiffyToys.us this has become the norm.

The domain ''YiffyToys.com'' was purchased by Tig Wolf on 2 November 2007, who subsequently launched an e-commerce website at that address. According to Tig, he relied on the prior non-registration of ''YiffyToys.com'', YiffyToys.net, YiffyToys.org, and YiffyToys.us as an indication that the name was suitable. 
At this time the pair owned another domain ''swollensheath.com'', registered one day earlier.<ref>[http://whois.domaintools.com/swollensheath.com swollensheath.com Whois lookip]</ref>

As both sites sell similar products, Suran expressed concern to Jaeger and Tig that their use of the term would cause confusion. However, Tig stated that by that time the pair had spent considerable funds on legal costs and promotional items related to the name, and were unwilling to change it.

Suran registered the domains ''yiffy-toys.com'', ''yiffytoys.net'' and ''yiffy-toys.org'' on 22 December 2007, while Jaeger and Tig registered ''yiffytoys.org'' and ''yiffy-toys.de'' on the same day.

On 21st April 2008 Jaeger and Tig renamed their shop to ''[[Fetish Zone]]'' and notified customers of their new domain.

=== Trademarks ===

*On 13 February 2008, the [[Wikipedia:Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt|German Patent and Trade Mark Office]] received an application from Suran for the mark "YiffyToys" under class 35 (advertising and business services).<ref>[https://dpinfo.dpma.de/index_e.html Trademark file number 302008009407.9] - [[Wikipedia:Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt|German Patent and Trade Mark Office]] (filed 13 March 2008)</ref><ref name="MarkClassesFAQ">''[http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/tmfaq.htm#Application018 What are the different classes of goods and services?]'' - Trademark FAQ, USPTO</ref>

WikiFur makes no claim over which of these (if any) is legally more appropriate, or whether or not the two classes necessarily conflict with one another if both are valid.</ref> The Trademark Examining Attorney has refused registration.

*On 28 July 2008 the German mark "YiffyToys" from Suran was officially entered and published the next day. It was registered later that year.

*On 13 August 2008 the review of the US mark "YiffyToys" from Suran was officially completed, published on 16th September 2008 and registered on 02 December 2008.

*On 11 December 2008 the conflicting US mark-application for Tig Wolf was declined.<ref>[http://tmportal.uspto.gov/external/portal/tow?SRCH=Y&isSubmitted=true&details=&SELECT=US+Serial+No&TEXT=77400748# declined mark-application 77400748]</ref>

*As of 31 March 2009 Jaeger Fuchs is no longer reachable by Suran's lawyer, Suran's Lawyer was claimed to have left an invalid phone number.

*As of April the 27th the domain YiffyToys.com is under a UDRP-dispute at the WIPO <ref>[http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search/case.jsp?case_id=15607 WIPO UDRP-case D2009-0549]</ref>.

=== Yiffy-toys.de transfer ===

*On 13 March 2008, control of ''yiffy-toys.de'' was released by the law firm acting as administrative contact for Tig Wolf, and transferred to Suran via a dispute entry on 25 March.<ref>''[http://blog.yiffytoys.de/2008/03/yiffy-toysde.html Yiffy-toys.de]'' - Suran, YiffyToys blog (in German; [http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.yiffytoys.de%2F2008%2F03%2Fyiffy-toysde.html&langpair=de|en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 translation] - 25 March 2008)</ref>

*TiGWolf claims to have not authorized this release himself, so it was done by the Law Firm appointed by TigWolf or his registrar as Administrative Contact with the power to do so.

*As of 29 March, ''yiffy-toys.de'' is used by Suran.<ref>[http://www.whois.de/de/showwhois.php?domain=yiffy-toys.de ''yiffy-toys.de'' Whois information] - DENIC</ref>

=== FetishZone ===

On the 21st April 2008 the shop YiffyToys.com was renamed to FetishZone.net. Tig Wolf still holds the domain yiffytoys.com .

== What is wrong with Cubist???? ==

Honestly, what is this person's problem? Their retort to my post is baffling to say that least - as if they're on the verge of insanity or something...

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Cubist, Have you ever even considered the the situation might be a result of the "breakdown of diplomacy"? If neither side is willing to lower their sabre, at least part way, things will only continue the way they have been.

Removing his name would not necessarily have to be permanent - whether it remains off the article would be dependant upon Mozdoc's future conduct.

It seems that in this day and age, the only thing being polite and respectful gets a person is ignored, told to f - off, or hit. And THAT is what I believe is going on with Mozdoc - society has kind of taught him the bad habit that unless you are confrontational and ready to resort to force, people will not listen to you.

If we are going to judge Mozdoc on what society as a whole has drummed into him, then we need also judge ourselves.

Do we wish to continue on this downward spiral that civilization is sliding down, or do we wish to TRY to at least slow the degeneration?

All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER! 22:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Shorter 'Vladuz': "If we don't remove Mozdoc's real name from his Wikifur page, the terrorists win!" Overblown histrionics much, V-boy? I say you're a concern troll, and I say the hell with you. And my vote remains the same. Cubist 11:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I ask you, is there ANYTHING in my post that could be considered an attack on Cubist? And do you know of any reason why Cubist would choose to launch an attack upon me?

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 17:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:The simplest conclusion is that he is being honest - that the reason for his assertion is he believes you to be a [[Wikipedia:Internet troll#Concern troll|concern troll]]. I don't see any reason to suggest that he is implying that you made an attack on him - just that he strongly disagrees with you and suspects your motives. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:03, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

QUOTE CUBIST: '''Shorter 'Vladuz': "If we don't remove Mozdoc's real name from his Wikifur page, the terrorists win!" Overblown histrionics much, V-boy?'''

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 18:06, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:Right. He believes that your statements are overblown histronics. The form of his expression might be considered an attack on you, but does not imply that he felt that you attacked ''him'', as you said. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

"A concern troll is a false flag pseudonym created by a user whose point of view is opposed to the one that the user's sockpuppet claims to hold. The concern troll posts in web forums devoted to its declared point of view and attempts to sway the group's actions or opinions while claiming to share their goals, but with professed "concerns". The goal is to sow fear, uncertainty and doubt within the group."

Excuse me a moment... (Falls out of chair laughing).

Ok, so let me get this straight - because I am TRYING to to get both sides to stand down to some degree, Cubist is claiming that I am Mozdoc using a second account???? Oh good lord, not ANOTHER person like "triple W" :)) Why is it anytime someone doesn't agree, they have to claim that the person they disagree with is a "sock"???? That is really pathetic, do you not think?

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 18:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:No, that is not the meaning of the term. He appears to believe that you do not actually support the same goals as the wiki, but are trying to subvert them by pretending that you do. For example, if giving people fair treatment was one of the goals of the wiki you might express concerns that Mozdoc is not getting fair treatment, thereby hoping to elicit sympathy from those who would otherwise have a neutral or negative opinion. The trouble with making such assertions is that people's motives are unknown to us without some external form of confirmation, therefore they are hard to prove or disprove. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The method Cubist used to do it is SO childish, it makes me wonder if I should just put him/her over me knee and spank him/her. :))

Mozdoc needs to learn to control his temper - I can sympathize with that. I also know how most of society can literally drive people like Mozdoc to such actions.

By only using punishment against him, we only further reinforce his behavior. That's not to say we should just give in and remove it to stop threats - just the opposite. HOWEVER, If it is removed, and you and the others make it CLEARLY known that
1 - it CAN be added in again should the threats resume.
2 - that it is being done for fairness sake.

I believe it will have a greater positive impact not only on the conflict but upon Mozdoc himself.

By the way, kindly take a look at my user page ;) :))
That should (hopefully) show we are two different peole - Mozdoc tends to simply open fire, wjile I tend to toy with those who make such pathetic attacks.

[[User:AnthroSamurai|So I am a SOCK?? WHY am I always the last to know these things? :))]] 18:55, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:As far as I know, the only person who has brought up the concept of you being the same person as Mozdoc is you. The assertions made by Cubist relate to the pursuit of similar goals while professing neutrality, not similar identity.

:I am unsure how much any of us can help Mozdoc. I've talked to him on several occasions and made no long-term progress. The whole reason the page is here in the first place is that counseling hasn't worked to stop the harassment of others in the fandom. As I understand it, its purpose isn't to coerce the subject into good behaviour (because punishment doesn't work), but to ameliorate the effects of his bad behaviour on others. The question is whether or not the real name is a requirement for this. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Content Concern ==

Hey dude! I have a suggestion that Wiki Fur needs to be kept PG rated as possible since we don't want people offended by nude and yiff images. I have to change an image from one of the articles here. Remember you have furries going to this site from all over the world and we need to respect them as much as we can. [[User:ChuongChoSoi|ChuongChoSoi]] 18:02, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

:Hello Chuong. [[WikiFur:What WikiFur is not#WikiFur is not censored for the protection of minors|WikiFur policy]] (like [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not censored|Wikipedia's policy]]) is that our content may be of any rating because of the variety of topics within the fandom. There are many topics of a mature nature, and some mature elements within other topic. We appreciate that there are differences in morals around the world, but we would rather not censor ourselves just to fit the more restrictive societies.

:Nevertheless, I thank you for changing the picture, not because the original picture was naked, but because I believe it is a better (more accurate) depiction of fat furs. That said, you do not appear to be the copyright holder, so I must ask you - did you obtain permission to use it from the author, [http://gokutothez.deviantart.com/ gokutothez]?

== Assistance requested in adding "Rukario" to the list of fursuiters. ==

Good Evening GreenReaper:

I am looking for assistance in adding "Rukario" to the list of clickable fursuit links on Wikifur under the heading of "fursuit".

Any assistance that you can provide would be greatly apprecriated.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Prosperous Regards,

Hey GreenReaper, I'm sorry to bother you but something has been bugging me the last couple of days, I can never stay logged in on wikifur, everytime I revisit the site, I have to log back in and I can't figure out why? please let me know what is happening, thank you - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 02:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

== Admissibility of [[Happy Feet]]-related articles ==

Hello,

When {{u|Higgs Raccoon}} created [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Diti&oldid=206809 this article] about me, I was pleased, of course. This event lead me to think more of the concept of this wiki, and it is actually very good. I now want to contribute on it as much as I do on Wikipedia.

I just wanted to know, since {{u|Higgs Raccoon}} wikified the word [[Happy Feet]], if we were allowed:
# To make an article about the [http://penguins.wikia.com/wiki/Happy_Feet_Fan_Forum Happy Feet Fan Forum], constituted by some furs, and perhaps more than we know. This page is under the GFDL as well, can I copy some informations from it? Where do the authors need to be credited? Talk page or article page?
# To put gigantic informations about this movie, a sort of analysis, and its application to the [[Furry fandom|fandom]]? Can we upload pictures, using the fair use act?

Thanks for your upcoming replies! :) [[User:Diti|Diti]] ([[User talk:Diti|talk to the penguin]]) 14:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

:There's basically two options for the forum - either create [[Happy Feet]] and make the forum a subsection of that, or create [[Happy Feet Fan Forum]]. The normal thing to do is the latter - have a separate article for the forum. I would suggest tightening the language in the history section a little, though. It should concentrate on the facts, not subjective statements like "grew quickly" (how quickly?). The talk page should mention and link to the prior article.

:We tend not to do really huge articles about commercial works because Wikipedia does it better than us. We are not created to compete with them in their field of expertise - we would rather readers and editors went there instead. Therefore, what I would recommend is to make an article with an overview of the movie, but which concentrates ''specifically'' on the usage of Happy Feet within the furry fandom (which Wikipedia is not likely to cover), and then point people to [[Wikipedia:Happy Feet|Wikipedia's article]] in the "See also" section. Fair use is fine. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:04, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

== Blacklisted URL Causing Problems with Reverting Vandal Edit. ==

== Opening the door... ==

Question: How come there is an article on [[centaur]]s but not one on [[mermaid]]s? Recently, I was going to write a article about mermaids and I saw the log about it being deleted because it's "not furry". I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence here but, a centaur is "top half human, lower half horse" (you know what I mean) and a mermaid is "half woman half fish" I seriously don't see the problem...

Is it because there are [[foxtaur]]s, [[skunktaur]]s and [[chakat]]s, and one would be very hard pressed to find a picture of a furry mermaid? Or because if an article on the mermaid is allowed, it'll open the door for articles on the lamia (half woman half snake), medusa, the harpy and anansi (part man, part spider I think)?

I'm confused... [[User:Tai 1|Tai 1]] 03:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

== Toolbox in ru.wikifur.com ==
Hi, GreenReaper. Thank you for creating Wikifur.com itself and Russian language part! Toolbox on the left sidebar has wrong link to Upload file feature. It needs to be changed to [http://ru.wikifur.com/wiki/Служебная:Upload Служебная:Upload].
As for now I have many questions to you about customization of ru.wikifur.com. Which way of contacting you is more appropriate for questions regarding ru.wikifur? (email, IRC, ICQ, maybe ru.talk page, any other) [[User:OckhamTheFox|OckhamTheFox]] 07:11, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:Hi Ockham! My contact information is [http://greenreaper.livejournal.com/profile here] (make sure you are logged on). Email, IRC and/or ICQ is fine - I am always on the first two if awake. As for the images, the plan had been to upload all new images to the pool wiki, so that they could be used on all languages (like Wikimedia Commons) - but if you think that is not going to work I can change the link back. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])
One shared file repository is a good idea for saving server drive space. But motivation of anon users to register is lowered since no more extra feature of uploading files available. Ok, so be it. The second problem is russification of WikiFur namespace. ВикиФур: is counted like articles and may appear in Random articles. For example ru.wikipedia Википедия: is counted the same as in en.wikipedia Wikipedia:. [[User:OckhamTheFox|OckhamTheFox]] 15:54, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:Honestly, the disk space is not so important as the time. It takes work to translate a page. If you have to upload all of the images in it as well, that is more work. I would like to avoid that work for most images. People still need to register to use the image pool (but we would like to make it be just one registration for all WikiFur in the near future). If there is any interface text that needs to be changed on the pool wiki to help Russian contributors, I would be glad to do so. Images can still be uploaded locally by going directly to Special:Upload.
:The problem with ВикиФур: is that ВикиФур was not the name of the project namespace. WikiFur was, because that was the site name, and by default the site name is the name of the project namespace. I have changed the name of the site to ВикиФур and adjusted the database so that the pages already created are in the project namespace rather than the main namespace. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:18, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

:The thing to do is probably to ask community@wikia.com to enable the additional Analytics account for the wiki.

== Article deletion ==

I was wondering if you could delete [[User:Nekonaru Letao]] and [[Nekonaru Letao]]. I don't really want/need them anymore, and I'm trying to cut down the amount of information about me. If I just edit it out, it can be found in previous versions, but if it's deleted, then it's a bit harder to find.

[[User:Nekonaru Letao|Nekonaru Letao]] 18:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
:I can help you with this. Your User page is your area so it can be handled how you like. Your article can be handled under the [[WikiFur:PE|personal exclusion]] policy. If you change your mind, or a lesser exclusion would be acceptable(for instance, excluding the real name only), let any admin know. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:33, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

== People blanking own articles - explanation template? ==

Hey there GreenReaper,

I just wanted to ask one thing: I think we all know that many people often just blank their own articles, either not knowing or not caring about exclusions. As far as I know this behavior is not really wanted by anyone of us, thus my question here: As those people have to be told about the possibility of an exclusion after they blanked their article without knowing, it is always somehow necessary to tell them, explain and direct them to the correct pages. so, is there maybe any template containing this informations, that could just be added to a user's talkpage AFTER they tried blanking their own article? This would make explaining easier and much faster I guess.
I think that'd be a nice idea, just as a suggestion of mine. Have a nice day, greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 07:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

:I don't think there is one at this time. You're welcome to start one, and add it to [[WikiFur:Templates]]! Just remember, it can be a good idea to personalize the information and often it's better to try and follow up with them directly rather than leaving a note on their talk page. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== Finding all pages linking to an article ==

Hey there, just another question from me. I know that, of course, it's important to change all links if you moved an article to a new name so everything keeps working fine. Thus my question: Is is somehow possible to see all pages linking to a specific article, like it is shown at uploaded pictures? Or which way can this be handled otherwise, as I think just searching for the corresponding word in the article search is not working very well. Thanks for your answer in advance. Greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 11:36, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:Hi, RealZero. The toolbox on the left side of the page should have What links here. It leads to http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/User_talk:GreenReaper and should work for any page--just put that page name after the final slash. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:52, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

:It is odd . . . that page was not created by any user, but instead has been set as the default for that message in German on all wikis.

== Inserted redirects to templates instead of regular template. ==

Hey there GreenReaper,
I have a question regarding templates in articles: 
Many articles, like for example [[Gathering of the Gargoyles]] have some kind of redirect-text to a template in them, in this case for the inappropriate template, instead of the actual template "image". Is this some kind of error and should be changed if one comes across them, or does this actually has some kind of sense? Thanks in advance for your answer, I hope I haven't missed anything obvious again. Greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 15:53, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

== Help with image ==

Hi there,

I uploaded a few images of my fursuits, but didn't realize under after I'd done it that "rat.jpg" and "panther.jpg" was far too general a file name - is there any way to change the names? Or, is there any way to delete these files so I can re-upload them with more appropriate names?

== Webring ==

Hi,

Please advise why you dumped my Webring code. I put it back, because I thought it was a great idea to have the Hyper Police page in the Hyper Police Ring. I didn't even know that this place existed until I did a Hyper Police search and I am sure that there are lots of others that don't know about it either, so a Webring is a great way to bring more traffic here. I hope you will let me keep it here. Also, I have seen other Webrings on here.

Thank you,

--[[User:Noriko Mori|Noriko Mori]] 03:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

:A webring is not useful for a wiki article on a topic because it is basically a replacement for a set of links. These links should instead be placed in the article's external links section of the article if they are of sufficient relevance and contain useful information, and not linked at all if they are not.

:Webrings were great for finding relevant sites ten years ago. They're pretty much redundant with search, now. If you find one on here, you are welcome to replace it with specific links to useful websites on the ring. We're not interested in being part of any. If websites find us useful, they're welcome to link directly if they wish.

:We do cover them at [[:Category:Web rings]], but only because the more long-running webrings have become valid encyclopedic topics by themselves. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:13, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I have been involved with Webring ever since its inception and I find it quite insulting of you to put down all my hard work with them like that. I run some 40 rings, myself and have lots of friends there. I feel very sad that you don't welcome us here...

--[[User:Noriko Mori|Noriko Mori]] 04:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Noriko

:I'm sorry, but it is my honest opinion. We're here to provide information. A webring that you just created provides no additional value over direct links to the relevant sites. It is therefore redundant and so was removed from the article.

:I also feel it is inappropriate for us to be part of webrings that relate to our article content, as it implicitly promotes a particular group of websites related to that topic. We do not participate in link exchanges or banner trading either. The links we provide are based solely on the quality of the sites' content, and are not for sale or exchange. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:32, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

== RL name linked against noted wishes ==

Sebkha apparently put my truename on and it redirects to Zjonni. The notes on Zjonni expressly say I don't want that, but it appears this was done a month before the do-not-want note and not caught when I put the note up. I can edit the redirect page, but cannot apparently, erase it. Can you kindly make it go away?

Thanks!

Feel free to mail me if you aren't sure which page I am talking about.

YiffyToys (name dispute)

2009-05-18T12:52:05Z

Suran: /* FetishZone */ not assumed to be over as there is a UDRP-case now

{{cleanup}}
{{wikify}}
The name '''YiffyToys''' was used by two adult supplies companies:
* '''[[YiffyToys.com]]''', is owned by [[TiGWolf]] and based in the U.S, but is not an e-commerce site.
* '''[[YiffyToys.de]]''' and '''[[YiffyToys.us]]''', are run by [[Suran]] and based in Germany

The use of the name "YiffyToys" in commerce was disputed by the above parties. The dispute has now been largely resolved, with ''YiffyToys.de'' continuing to use the name, while ''YiffyToys.com'' has been renamed to [[FetishZone|FetishZone.net]].

== History ==

Suran opened the website ''YiffyToys.de'' in February 2006. The site banner uses the full name; however, it is sometimes referred to as "YiffyToys" without the .de suffix.

The domain ''YiffyToys.com'' was purchased by Tig Wolf on 2 November 2007, and subsequently launched an e-commerce website at that address. According to Tig, he relied on the prior non-registration of ''YiffyToys.com'', YiffyToys.net, YiffyToys.org, and YiffyToys.us as an indication that the name was suitable. At this time the pair owned another domain ''swollensheath.com'', registered one day earlier.<ref>[http://whois.domaintools.com/swollensheath.com swollensheath.com Whois lookip]</ref>

As both sites sell similar products, Suran expressed concern to Jaeger and Tig that their use of the term would cause confusion. However, Tig stated that by that time the pair had spent considerable funds on legal costs and promotional items related to the name, and were unwilling to change it.

Suran registered the domains ''yiffy-toys.com'', ''yiffytoys.net'' and ''yiffy-toys.org'' on 22 December 2007, while Jaeger and Tig registered ''yiffytoys.org'' and ''yiffy-toys.de'' on the same day.

On 21st April 2008 Jaeger and Tig renamed their shop to ''[[Fetish Zone]]'' and notified customers of their new domain.

'''H-Con''' is a [[furry]] [[convention]] held at the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus at [[wikipedia:Grasellenbach|Grasellenbach]]-Scharbach, [[wikipedia:Odenwald|Odenwald]], [[wikipedia:Hessen|Hessen]], [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] between the cities of [[Wikipedia:Frankfurt am Main|Frankfurt]] and [[Wikipedia:Heidelberg|Heidelberg]]. The annual conference is hosted each autumn by the [[AFC-Group]].

:''H-Con should not be mixed up with [[HerbstCon]], another German furry convention held in the autumn.''

H-Con claims to be an "old-time" furry convention, where every participating [[fur]] becomes a part of the staff and the food supply is plentiful (all you can eat). The event is primarily organized by [[Atalon Deer]] of the H-Con Committee.

==History==
[[Image:H-Con1.gif|right|100px|H-Con 1: The Forgotten Tails]]
* '''H-Con 1''': "The Forgotten Tails" took place in 2005 from October 2 to 3 and attracted about 45 [[fur]]s.
* '''H-Con 2''': "The Tails on Fire" took place in 2006 from September 29 to October 2, with 53 attendees. A "Dead Dog Night" after-party was held from October 2 to 3.
* '''H-Con 3''' "Tails from the Twilight World" took place in 2007 from October 4 to 7 with the "Dead Dog Night" after-party to follow from October 7 to 8. 48 participants stayed on site, plus 5 off-site and 4 day guests. 1070 kg of food and drinks were consumed during the con. The activities included operation of radio-controlled helicopters and the production of a movie.
* '''H-Con 4''' took place in 2008, October 2 to 5 at the same location, again the number of on-site participants was limited to 50.
* '''H-Con 5''' encountered issues with the former con-site that threatened to endanger the convention. 2 alternative con-sites have been found and are currently being evaluated.

== What is wrong with Cubist???? ==

Honestly, what is this person's problem? Their retort to my post is baffling to say that least - as if they're on the verge of insanity or something...

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Cubist, Have you ever even considered the the situation might be a result of the "breakdown of diplomacy"? If neither side is willing to lower their sabre, at least part way, things will only continue the way they have been.

Removing his name would not necessarily have to be permanent - whether it remains off the article would be dependant upon Mozdoc's future conduct.

It seems that in this day and age, the only thing being polite and respectful gets a person is ignored, told to f - off, or hit. And THAT is what I believe is going on with Mozdoc - society has kind of taught him the bad habit that unless you are confrontational and ready to resort to force, people will not listen to you.

If we are going to judge Mozdoc on what society as a whole has drummed into him, then we need also judge ourselves.

Do we wish to continue on this downward spiral that civilization is sliding down, or do we wish to TRY to at least slow the degeneration?

All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER! 22:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Shorter 'Vladuz': "If we don't remove Mozdoc's real name from his Wikifur page, the terrorists win!" Overblown histrionics much, V-boy? I say you're a concern troll, and I say the hell with you. And my vote remains the same. Cubist 11:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I ask you, is there ANYTHING in my post that could be considered an attack on Cubist? And do you know of any reason why Cubist would choose to launch an attack upon me?

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 17:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:The simplest conclusion is that he is being honest - that the reason for his assertion is he believes you to be a [[Wikipedia:Internet troll#Concern troll|concern troll]]. I don't see any reason to suggest that he is implying that you made an attack on him - just that he strongly disagrees with you and suspects your motives. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:03, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

QUOTE CUBIST: '''Shorter 'Vladuz': "If we don't remove Mozdoc's real name from his Wikifur page, the terrorists win!" Overblown histrionics much, V-boy?'''

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 18:06, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:Right. He believes that your statements are overblown histronics. The form of his expression might be considered an attack on you, but does not imply that he felt that you attacked ''him'', as you said. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

"A concern troll is a false flag pseudonym created by a user whose point of view is opposed to the one that the user's sockpuppet claims to hold. The concern troll posts in web forums devoted to its declared point of view and attempts to sway the group's actions or opinions while claiming to share their goals, but with professed "concerns". The goal is to sow fear, uncertainty and doubt within the group."

Excuse me a moment... (Falls out of chair laughing).

Ok, so let me get this straight - because I am TRYING to to get both sides to stand down to some degree, Cubist is claiming that I am Mozdoc using a second account???? Oh good lord, not ANOTHER person like "triple W" :)) Why is it anytime someone doesn't agree, they have to claim that the person they disagree with is a "sock"???? That is really pathetic, do you not think?

[[User:AnthroSamurai|All hail VLADUZ - the EBAY IMPALER!]] 18:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:No, that is not the meaning of the term. He appears to believe that you do not actually support the same goals as the wiki, but are trying to subvert them by pretending that you do. For example, if giving people fair treatment was one of the goals of the wiki you might express concerns that Mozdoc is not getting fair treatment, thereby hoping to elicit sympathy from those who would otherwise have a neutral or negative opinion. The trouble with making such assertions is that people's motives are unknown to us without some external form of confirmation, therefore they are hard to prove or disprove. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The method Cubist used to do it is SO childish, it makes me wonder if I should just put him/her over me knee and spank him/her. :))

Mozdoc needs to learn to control his temper - I can sympathize with that. I also know how most of society can literally drive people like Mozdoc to such actions.

By only using punishment against him, we only further reinforce his behavior. That's not to say we should just give in and remove it to stop threats - just the opposite. HOWEVER, If it is removed, and you and the others make it CLEARLY known that
1 - it CAN be added in again should the threats resume.
2 - that it is being done for fairness sake.

I believe it will have a greater positive impact not only on the conflict but upon Mozdoc himself.

By the way, kindly take a look at my user page ;) :))
That should (hopefully) show we are two different peole - Mozdoc tends to simply open fire, wjile I tend to toy with those who make such pathetic attacks.

:As far as I know, the only person who has brought up the concept of you being the same person as Mozdoc is you. The assertions made by Cubist relate to the pursuit of similar goals while professing neutrality, not similar identity.

:I am unsure how much any of us can help Mozdoc. I've talked to him on several occasions and made no long-term progress. The whole reason the page is here in the first place is that counseling hasn't worked to stop the harassment of others in the fandom. As I understand it, its purpose isn't to coerce the subject into good behaviour (because punishment doesn't work), but to ameliorate the effects of his bad behaviour on others. The question is whether or not the real name is a requirement for this. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Content Concern ==

Hey dude! I have a suggestion that Wiki Fur needs to be kept PG rated as possible since we don't want people offended by nude and yiff images. I have to change an image from one of the articles here. Remember you have furries going to this site from all over the world and we need to respect them as much as we can. [[User:ChuongChoSoi|ChuongChoSoi]] 18:02, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

:Hello Chuong. [[WikiFur:What WikiFur is not#WikiFur is not censored for the protection of minors|WikiFur policy]] (like [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not censored|Wikipedia's policy]]) is that our content may be of any rating because of the variety of topics within the fandom. There are many topics of a mature nature, and some mature elements within other topic. We appreciate that there are differences in morals around the world, but we would rather not censor ourselves just to fit the more restrictive societies.

:Nevertheless, I thank you for changing the picture, not because the original picture was naked, but because I believe it is a better (more accurate) depiction of fat furs. That said, you do not appear to be the copyright holder, so I must ask you - did you obtain permission to use it from the author, [http://gokutothez.deviantart.com/ gokutothez]? If we are not talking about the specific character, it is not fair for us to use it without permission. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:22, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Mr.GreenReaper,

I am writing this on behalf of Thaily Brimstone, her page, [[Thaily Brimstone]] has been restored. Could you please remove this and lock it down. She does not wish to have any article about her on this site.

Thank you for your understanding,

PeglaSkunk

:Please, call me Green. ;-)
:I have in fact just done this, after a conversation with Thaily over ICQ to clarify her intentions. The main issue was the percieved non-neutrality of excluding some pieces of information but not others; we're actually more comfortable with complete exclusion, and it seems so was Thaily, so everyone's happy. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 08:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

== Admissibility of [[Happy Feet]]-related articles ==

Hello,

When {{u|Higgs Raccoon}} created [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Diti&oldid=206809 this article] about me, I was pleased, of course. This event lead me to think more of the concept of this wiki, and it is actually very good. I now want to contribute on it as much as I do on Wikipedia.

I just wanted to know, since {{u|Higgs Raccoon}} wikified the word [[Happy Feet]], if we were allowed:
# To make an article about the [http://penguins.wikia.com/wiki/Happy_Feet_Fan_Forum Happy Feet Fan Forum], constituted by some furs, and perhaps more than we know. This page is under the GFDL as well, can I copy some informations from it? Where do the authors need to be credited? Talk page or article page?
# To put gigantic informations about this movie, a sort of analysis, and its application to the [[Furry fandom|fandom]]? Can we upload pictures, using the fair use act?

Thanks for your upcoming replies! :) [[User:Diti|Diti]] ([[User talk:Diti|talk to the penguin]]) 14:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

:There's basically two options for the forum - either create [[Happy Feet]] and make the forum a subsection of that, or create [[Happy Feet Fan Forum]]. The normal thing to do is the latter - have a separate article for the forum. I would suggest tightening the language in the history section a little, though. It should concentrate on the facts, not subjective statements like "grew quickly" (how quickly?). The talk page should mention and link to the prior article.

:We tend not to do really huge articles about commercial works because Wikipedia does it better than us. We are not created to compete with them in their field of expertise - we would rather readers and editors went there instead. Therefore, what I would recommend is to make an article with an overview of the movie, but which concentrates ''specifically'' on the usage of Happy Feet within the furry fandom (which Wikipedia is not likely to cover), and then point people to [[Wikipedia:Happy Feet|Wikipedia's article]] in the "See also" section. Fair use is fine. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:04, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

== Opening the door... ==

Question: How come there is an article on [[centaur]]s but not one on [[mermaid]]s? Recently, I was going to write a article about mermaids and I saw the log about it being deleted because it's "not furry". I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence here but, a centaur is "top half human, lower half horse" (you know what I mean) and a mermaid is "half woman half fish" I seriously don't see the problem...

Is it because there are [[foxtaur]]s, [[skunktaur]]s and [[chakat]]s, and one would be very hard pressed to find a picture of a furry mermaid? Or because if an article on the mermaid is allowed, it'll open the door for articles on the lamia (half woman half snake), medusa, the harpy and anansi (part man, part spider I think)?

I'm confused... [[User:Tai 1|Tai 1]] 03:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

== Toolbox in ru.wikifur.com ==
Hi, GreenReaper. Thank you for creating Wikifur.com itself and Russian language part! Toolbox on the left sidebar has wrong link to Upload file feature. It needs to be changed to [http://ru.wikifur.com/wiki/Служебная:Upload Служебная:Upload].
As for now I have many questions to you about customization of ru.wikifur.com. Which way of contacting you is more appropriate for questions regarding ru.wikifur? (email, IRC, ICQ, maybe ru.talk page, any other) [[User:OckhamTheFox|OckhamTheFox]] 07:11, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:Hi Ockham! My contact information is [http://greenreaper.livejournal.com/profile here] (make sure you are logged on). Email, IRC and/or ICQ is fine - I am always on the first two if awake. As for the images, the plan had been to upload all new images to the pool wiki, so that they could be used on all languages (like Wikimedia Commons) - but if you think that is not going to work I can change the link back. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])
One shared file repository is a good idea for saving server drive space. But motivation of anon users to register is lowered since no more extra feature of uploading files available. Ok, so be it. The second problem is russification of WikiFur namespace. ВикиФур: is counted like articles and may appear in Random articles. For example ru.wikipedia Википедия: is counted the same as in en.wikipedia Wikipedia:. [[User:OckhamTheFox|OckhamTheFox]] 15:54, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:Honestly, the disk space is not so important as the time. It takes work to translate a page. If you have to upload all of the images in it as well, that is more work. I would like to avoid that work for most images. People still need to register to use the image pool (but we would like to make it be just one registration for all WikiFur in the near future). If there is any interface text that needs to be changed on the pool wiki to help Russian contributors, I would be glad to do so. Images can still be uploaded locally by going directly to Special:Upload.
:The problem with ВикиФур: is that ВикиФур was not the name of the project namespace. WikiFur was, because that was the site name, and by default the site name is the name of the project namespace. I have changed the name of the site to ВикиФур and adjusted the database so that the pages already created are in the project namespace rather than the main namespace. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:18, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

:The thing to do is probably to ask community@wikia.com to enable the additional Analytics account for the wiki.

I was wondering if you could delete [[User:Nekonaru Letao]] and [[Nekonaru Letao]]. I don't really want/need them anymore, and I'm trying to cut down the amount of information about me.

[[User:Nekonaru Letao|Nekonaru Letao]] 18:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
:I can help you with this. Your User page is your area so it can be handled how you like. Your article can be handled under the [[WikiFur:PE|personal exclusion]] policy. If you change your mind, or a lesser exclusion would be acceptable(for instance, excluding the real name only), let any admin know. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:33, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

== People blanking own articles - explanation template? ==

Hey there GreenReaper,

I just wanted to ask one thing: I think we all know that many people often just blank their own articles, either not knowing or not caring about exclusions. As far as I know this behavior is not really wanted by anyone of us, thus my question here: As those people have to be told about the possibility of an exclusion after they blanked their article without knowing, it is always somehow necessary to tell them, explain and direct them to the correct pages. so, is there maybe any template containing this informations, that could just be added to a user's talkpage AFTER they tried blanking their own article? This would make explaining easier and much faster I guess.
I think that'd be a nice idea, just as a suggestion of mine. Have a nice day, greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 07:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

:I don't think there is one at this time. You're welcome to start one, and add it to [[WikiFur:Templates]]! Just remember, it can be a good idea to personalize the information and often it's better to try and follow up with them directly rather than leaving a note on their talk page. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== Finding all pages linking to an article ==

Hey there, just another question from me. I know that, of course, it's important to change all links if you moved an article to a new name so everything keeps working fine. Thus my question: Is is somehow possible to see all pages linking to a specific article, like it is shown at uploaded pictures? Or which way can this be handled otherwise, as I think just searching for the corresponding word in the article search is not working very well. Thanks for your answer in advance. Greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 11:36, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:Hi, RealZero. The toolbox on the left side of the page should have What links here. It leads to http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/User_talk:GreenReaper and should work for any page--just put that page name after the final slash. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:52, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

== Inserted redirects to templates instead of regular template. ==

Hey there GreenReaper,
I have a question regarding templates in articles: 
Many articles, like for example [[Gathering of the Gargoyles]] have some kind of redirect-text to a template in them, in this case for the inappropriate template, instead of the actual template "image". Is this some kind of error and should be changed if one comes across them, or does this actually has some kind of sense? Thanks in advance for your answer, I hope I haven't missed anything obvious again. Greetings, [[User:RealZero|RealZero]] 15:53, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

== Message From RVDDP2501 - Extinctioners protection ==

Hey GreenReaper, I'm sorry if this may seem overboard but I was wondering if it would be possible to try and protect the Extinctioners wiki article as I have just learned in recent hours that everything extinctioners as been 'attacked' by a hacker(s), everything from Yahoo groups being deleated to Shawntae Howard's own FA & DA acounts being wiped clean. I hope I don;t come across as acting paranoid but from the looks of things, it seems some one is gunning for Extinctioners and the wiki article could be a target, you can read the report/forum on FA here - http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=35514 - Please let me know what you feel should be done, thank you and take care - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 19:39, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
:Ah ok I see, thanks, I guess I was a little worried that if someone could hack their way into FA, DA and the yahoo groups and mess around to the extent they did, they could do something permanent here as well, I guess I was a little jumpy, thanks again and take care - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 21:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

== Help with image ==

Hi there,

I uploaded a few images of my fursuits, but didn't realize under after I'd done it that "rat.jpg" and "panther.jpg" was far too general a file name - is there any way to change the names? Or, is there any way to delete these files so I can re-upload them with more appropriate names?

Also, I hope this is where I'm supposed to ask this, I'm not very wiki-savvy.

Thanks,
--[[User:Wggthegnoll|Wgg the Gnoll]] 18:37, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

== Webring ==

Hi,

Please advise why you dumped my Webring code. I put it back, because I thought it was a great idea to have the Hyper Police page in the Hyper Police Ring. I didn't even know that this place existed until I did a Hyper Police search and I am sure that there are lots of others that don't know about it either, so a Webring is a great way to bring more traffic here. I hope you will let me keep it here. Also, I have seen other Webrings on here.

Thank you,

--[[User:Noriko Mori|Noriko Mori]] 03:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

:A webring is not useful for a wiki article on a topic because it is basically a replacement for a set of links. These links should instead be placed in the article's external links section of the article if they are of sufficient relevance and contain useful information, and not linked at all if they are not.

:Webrings were great for finding relevant sites ten years ago. They're pretty much redundant with search, now. If you find one on here, you are welcome to replace it with specific links to useful websites on the ring. We're not interested in being part of any. If websites find us useful, they're welcome to link directly if they wish.

:We do cover them at [[:Category:Web rings]], but only because the more long-running webrings have become valid encyclopedic topics by themselves. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:13, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I have been involved with Webring ever since its inception and I find it quite insulting of you to put down all my hard work with them like that. I run some 40 rings, myself and have lots of friends there. I feel very sad that you don't welcome us here...

--[[User:Noriko Mori|Noriko Mori]] 04:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Noriko

:I'm sorry, but it is my honest opinion. We're here to provide information. A webring that you just created provides no additional value over direct links to the relevant sites. It is therefore redundant and so was removed from the article.

:I also feel it is inappropriate for us to be part of webrings that relate to our article content, as it implicitly promotes a particular group of websites related to that topic. We do not participate in link exchanges or banner trading either. The links we provide are based solely on the quality of the sites' content, and are not for sale or exchange. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:32, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Sebkha apparently put my truename on and it redirects to Zjonni.

I can edit the redirect page, but cannot apparently, erase it. Can you kindly make it go away?

YiffyToys (name dispute)

2009-05-15T03:15:27Z

Suran: /* Trademarks */ cleaned up some statements that are far too detailed for an article. Lets discuss cleaning up this grown article on the talk-page.

{{cleanup}}
{{wikify}}
The name '''YiffyToys''' was used by two adult supplies companies:
* '''[[YiffyToys.com]]''', is owned by [[TiGWolf]] and based in the U.S, but is not an e-commerce site.
* '''[[YiffyToys.de]]''' and '''[[YiffyToys.us]]''', are run by [[Suran]] and based in Germany

The use of the name "YiffyToys" in commerce was disputed by the above parties. The dispute has now been largely resolved, with ''YiffyToys.de'' continuing to use the name, while ''YiffyToys.com'' has been renamed to [[FetishZone|FetishZone.net]].

== History ==

Suran opened the website ''YiffyToys.de'' in February 2006. The site banner uses the full name; however, it is sometimes referred to as "YiffyToys" without the .de suffix.

The domain ''YiffyToys.com'' was purchased by Tig Wolf on 2 November 2007, and subsequently launched an e-commerce website at that address. According to Tig, he relied on the prior non-registration of ''YiffyToys.com'', YiffyToys.net, YiffyToys.org, and YiffyToys.us as an indication that the name was suitable. At this time the pair owned another domain ''swollensheath.com'', registered one day earlier.<ref>[http://whois.domaintools.com/swollensheath.com swollensheath.com Whois lookip]</ref>

As both sites sell similar products, Suran expressed concern to Jaeger and Tig that their use of the term would cause confusion. However, Tig stated that by that time the pair had spent considerable funds on legal costs and promotional items related to the name, and were unwilling to change it.

Suran registered the domains ''yiffy-toys.com'', ''yiffytoys.net'' and ''yiffy-toys.org'' on 22 December 2007, while Jaeger and Tig registered ''yiffytoys.org'' and ''yiffy-toys.de'' on the same day.

On 21st April 2008 Jaeger and Tig renamed their shop to ''[[Fetish Zone]]'' and notified customers of their new domain.

=== Trademarks ===

*On 13 February 2008, the [[Wikipedia:Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt|German Patent and Trade Mark Office]] received an application from Suran for the mark "YiffyToys" under class 35 (advertising and business services).<ref>[https://dpinfo.dpma.de/index_e.html Trademark file number 302008009407.9] - [[Wikipedia:Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt|German Patent and Trade Mark Office]] (filed 13 March 2008)</ref><ref name="MarkClassesFAQ">''[http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/tmfaq.htm#Application018 What are the different classes of goods and services?]'' - Trademark FAQ, USPTO</ref>

*On 28 July 2008 the German mark "YiffyToys" from Suran was officially entered and published the next day. It was registered later that year.

*On 13 August 2008 the review of the US mark "YiffyToys" from Suran was officially completed, published on 16th September 2008 and registered on 02 December 2008.

*On 11 December 2008 the conflicting US mark-application for Tig Wolf was declined.<ref>[http://tmportal.uspto.gov/external/portal/tow?SRCH=Y&isSubmitted=true&details=&SELECT=US+Serial+No&TEXT=77400748# declined mark-application 77400748]</ref>

*As of 31 March 2009 Jaeger Fuchs is no longer reachable by Suran's lawyer, Suran's Lawyer was claimed to have left an invalid phone number.

*As of April the 27th the domain YiffyToys.com is under a UDRP-dispute at the WIPO (Case number D2009-0549).

=== FetishZone ===

On the 21st April 2008 the shop YiffyToys.com was renamed to FetishZone.net. Tig Wolf and Jaeger Fuchs still hold the old domain for a while but the name dispute is assumed to be mostly over.

YiffyToys (name dispute)

2009-05-10T05:05:01Z

Suran: /* yiffy-toys.de transfer */ I still object to the term "hijacked". Is this phrasing more to your liking?

__NOTOC__The name '''YiffyToys''' was used by two adult supplies companies:
* '''[[YiffyToys.de]]''' and '''[[YiffyToys.us]]''', are run by [[Suran]] and based in Germany
* '''[[YiffyToys.com]]''', was owned by [[Jaeger Fuchs]] and based in the U.S.

However, JaegerFuchs was present at [[Eurofurence 13]] where Suran had a dealers table <ref>[http://media-1.furcon.de/Eurofurence/ef13/Barney%20the%20Dog/tn/HPIM1589.JPG JaegerFuchs at EF13]</ref>.
