Theyain Riyu:

Hi there, EarthFurst! Welcome to WikiFur, and thank you for your contributions over the last week. [[User talk:GreenReaper|Let me know]] if you need any [[help]] not already provided. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 01:03, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

== AC in SL? ==

Is AC in SL planned as an event (ie. only happening during Anthrocon) or is it planned as a ongoing/year-round Second Life location? --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 15:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

:Well, considering that its going to be on a sim that '''I''' plan to buy, yes it would be ^_^.--[[User:Theyain Riyu|Theyain]] 20:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

== [[BritFur]] and [[FurCon UK]] ==

Should these two articles be merged, with one redirecting to the other? They ''seem'' to be talking about the same thing, although I must admit I don't know much about it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:08, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
:Thank you. I've posted my opinion on this issue to [[Talk:BritFur]] --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 02:06, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

== Y? Comic ==

Hey, saw your recent edit - Y? isn't in the main comics category, no. It's listed under the Mature Comics category, so it won't show up in the main category. Just so you know. =3 [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 06:20, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

== Comics Category ==
Hi! Thanks for keeping the comics category page up to date. In the future, could you please include that your removing the comic link because a page for it had been created in your edit summary please. :) -- [[User:JSharp|DeVandalizer]] 09:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:Oops, I guess I should put my hindpaw in my mouth! I reread it and you did say why. Sorry. ^_^ -- [[User:JSharp|DeVandalizer]] 09:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:: Ah, thank you. (Wish I'd noticed your second comment before sending the comment below) --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 09:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:Oops, I thought saying "Removed added entry: Cody" would be sufficient. What wording do you suggest? --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 09:43, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== infoboxes ? ==

I copied [[Wikipedia:Template:Infobox Webcomic]] to [[Template:Infobox webcomic]] because I thought having webcomic infoboxes (such as the one at [[Wikipedia:Aozora]]) would be nice. The template partially works (example at [[User:EarthFurst]]). I'm guessing the rest of that template doesn't work because WikiFur doesn't have [[Template:If]] ? WP has [[Wikipedia:Template:If]]. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 05:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

:According to [[User:Splarka|Splarka]], it's due to a problem with tables and parserfunctions on Wikia. He going to try fixing it . . . --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

:: Thank you. The changes look promising. I'm going to bed now. Hope to try out the template tomorrow (after signing tenancy agreement for apartment I want to move into). --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 05:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

== Alex A. Fawkes ==

Since you edited [[Alex A. Fawkes]], I was wondering if you knew where the Alex A. Fawkes comic was. Due to what [[Scaramouche]] says, I'm wondering if both the articles are hoaxes.
--[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 09:00, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

:No idea, sorry, I was probably just copy-editing. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 20:40, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

== WikiFur and fair use? ==

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

:I know a certain amount about fair use. Fair dealing, less so (ironic, since I come from the UK, but I didn't really have to deal with it before I came here :-). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 06:34, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

::Currently wondering about fair use (and fair dealing) in relation to [[Forum:Question about magazines YRB and Go Big]] --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 06:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

== about the templates .. i know ==

At the start I just wanted to add cquote template, but that template involves a bunch of other templates that I'm in the process of adding. It feels like they're a [[wikipedia:Matryoshka doll|Russian nested doll]] --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 08:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

:I think I got it working (took longer than I expected). It is 2am now so I'm going to bed and will probably add Rquote template tomorrow. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 09:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

==Welcome to [[WikiFur:Administrators]]!==
Be sure to visit the links in the above page to see how to use the extra powers if you've not had sysop access on a wiki before (the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Administration#Rollback bot rollback feature] is particularly useful). Remember you can always [[WikiFur:IRC|come onto IRC]] for more help. Enjoy! :-) [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:47, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

:Thank you very much. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 03:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

== Infobox webcomic ==

A few quick questions about it?,... Where is the template itself at?, Is there a way to truncate long URLs without breaking them?, How can the Rating icon be centered, instead of being stuck on the right side of the box?, Why is "genres" highlighted, and where does lead?, I get a " (quote) symbol on the articles with the infobox, have you experienced that yourself?, "Caption," is that like "Motto"?, "Launch (d)ate"/"End (D)ate", both upper or both lower?, "Rating(s)", shouldn't it be "Rating"? (Taking the (s) breaks the table), <del>How I can convince Suzie to go with me to the High School Weenie Roast cook-out?</del> (Oops, forget the last one...>.<)

You can check [[Sequential Art]] for some of these problems. Any help would be appreciated =) [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 07:18, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

:Spirou asked "Where is the template itself at?"
:The template is at [[template:Infobox webcomic]].
:Spirou asked "Why is 'genres' highlighted, and where does lead?"
:The Genre field is a link only because that was how the template at Wikipedia was. I've switched Genre from link to plain-text. I'll try and answer the other questions later. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 21:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

::No problem, thank you for taking the time =) [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 21:08, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

:::One las question (sorry,)... Do we use the large or condensed "Censor Panda" buttons on the infoboxes? [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 21:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

::::I don't think there's an official standard. Using a condensed Panda seems fine to me. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 21:37, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

:Spirou asked "Is there a way to truncate long URLs without breaking them?"
:umm, I don't know .. I'm guessing it might require fiddling with the template. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 04:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

:: Good news. Splarka added a scrollbar to URL field of infobox webcomic template. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 07:19, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

:Spirou asked "How can the Rating icon be centered, instead of being stuck on the right side of the box?"
:Splarka says "the problem with infobox fields is that you have to usually edit the template to center text" --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 04:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

:Spirou asked "I get a " (quote) symbol on the articles with the infobox, have you experienced that yourself?"
:I think that is because an extra quote snuck into the Genre section of the template template. A [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Template%3AInfobox_webcomic&diff=107378&oldid=107246 recent change to the template by Splarka] seems to have fixed that problem. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 04:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

::Thanks to both to you, and Splarka for the help on this matter ^-^ [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

== Patrolled edits ==

Now that you're an administrator, you can mark your own edits as patrolled. Under "preferences", in the "Editing" section, check "Mark edits I make as patrolled" --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 20:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

:Thank you. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 20:54, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

== 125.23.59.203 : block or warning? ==

Hmm, would you say 125.23.59.203's math edit (to Tristan Thilorn) should result in a block or just a warning? --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 15:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

:I wasn't really sure if it was vandalism, or just an attempt to edit that went wrong, so I was going to wait for a while and see if they tried it again. As they didn't return, I've just added the dontvandalize tag to their talk page. --[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 20:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

== Furry Asia? ==

When you added "Furry Asia" to [[List of furry mailing lists]], where you thinking of the Furry Asia that was at <nowiki>http://furryasia.twu.net/</nowiki> ? --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 08:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

:I should have been clearer when first creating the list; all I did was copy over what was sitting at Groups to add in [[:Category:Mailing lists]]. I don't know anything about them. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

== Your edit ==

You [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Jennifer_Campbell&curid=22104&diff=122826&oldid=122823 rolled back] an anonymous edit. Maybe you have information I don't but for all I know, it could be false, or no longer true. Or maybe it's the subject with privacy concerns. At least try to open a discussion with the editor. It's not related to furry so it's okay to leave it out if we're not sure. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 05:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

:I saw that - I dropped an email to Jennifer's given address, will see if I get a response. In general, I feel it's best to check first with them if possible. Reverting people who are trying to remove some small piece of personal information can often lead to them getting annoyed and demanding the whole thing removed, which is non-optimal. Oh, and it helps to leave a note on their talk page as well. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

::ok, let's say it takes off or whatever. If it does, I'm all in favor of hacking it down to "Anthrocon has an unofficial representation of the convention on Second Life, created by Theyain Ryu founded in 2006." Follow up with factual details, then throw it on Anthrocon's article. We must take care to remind it's totally unofficial or Mr. Ryu can be gotten on copyright infringement. Other than that, I say this gets winnowed down to barebones here. Get rid of the HELP WANTED section. Or just Speedy D if this has no presence outside of RL. Speaking of copyrights, is such a thing even authorized to exist without the knowledge and consent of Anthrocon?

AC in SL

2007-03-15T02:58:32Z

Theyain Riyu:

How many furs go to [[Anthrocon]]? Well, in 2006 over 2000 furs appeared at the [[wikipedia:David L. Lawrence Convention Center|David L. Lawrence Convention Center]] for AC. Well then, how many furs do you think ''wanted'' to go to AC that year? Probably several times that amount. And that is where [[AC in SL]] comes in

== What '''''is''''' AC in SL?==
AC in SL stands for AnthroCon in Second Life. The premise of it is that many furs would love to go to Anthrocon, but only a few can, so it (AC in SL) was created to try and replicate the feel of Anthrocon for those who can not go.

== Background ==
AC in SL started August of 2006. The Idea was first brought to the public in a small thread entitled '[http://www.anthrocon.org/node/207 AC Meet up in SL?]'. And from there it has grown from an Idea to a want, to what is now an actual project that is in the works. There is currently only one active group (AC in SL Work Crew, found on SL), with a total of 12 members. Discussions on what to do goes on between the board members daily. This is what is currently on the list:

*Recruit more members (''continuous effect'')
*Create a fully functional Board
*Advertise for AC in SL (''continuous effect'')
*Begin process of building for AC in SL
*Begin process of graphic designing (create textures)
*Buy mature rated sim
*Place prims and textures accordingly
*Create scripts
*Place scripts accordingly
*Section off Rooms
*Set prim limits on each room
*Create a pricing for each room
*Remove any excess prims and scripts
*Open Ac in SL to the public, free of charge! (''no date has been scheduled'')

== Help Wanted==
As you may have noticed, AC in SL is a massive project. There by a large number of workers are needed to help complete it. And do to the very nature of the project - and to keep the Board from having to charge furs to enter it - any work done for it is free. Currently there are opening in two different job classifications. Normal and Board.
Normal includes the following:
*Builders
*Scriptures
*Graphic Designers
*Advertisers (by word of mouth)
To apply or inquire further about these duties, please either Email Theyain at Theyain_Riyu@yahoo.com or IM him in Second Life (Theyain Rigaud).
Unlike the job classification 'Normal', Board is exclusive. Meaning any job listed under Board will have executive power of that field, which will can only be overridden by either Theyain, or an anonymous, majority vote by the Board. Open Board jobs are listed as follows:
*Director of Graphic Design
:*Administrates the creation and quality of textures used for AC in SL.
*Director of Building and Design
:*Oversees the construction and placement of buildings inside the sim.
*Director of Advertisement
*:Governs the placement, the costs, and looks of ads.
*Treasurer
:*Controls, manages, and budgets the financial assets of AC in SL.
*Director of The Board
:*Schedules and sets up Board Meetings, may take requests from other Board Members.
*Director of Public Communications
:*In charge of all operations involving the public release of information, suggestions by the public, and the cataloging malicious behaviors of unruly civilians.
''Please note, however, that some of the listed positions are currently being filled, but are still accepting applications.''
If you would like to apply for one of these positions, please email Theyain (Theyain_Riyu@yahoo.com). For the email, please include 'Board Position' in your subject field, a history of your work in the field, proof of said history, an example of your talent, reason for applying for position, and (in your own opinion) why you should be chosen over all the other applicants.
