My name is Garth Gilmore, and I have been the sole player and character owner of Twopaw (Tarnished-Silver) since 1992, when I first joined the Trap Line BBS (Toronto, Ontario) in our local fandom.

WikiFur has one record of my activity (as a contributor to the first issue of Canadian Fur Magazine, a small-press publication lasting two issues, published by (Mary) Zuri), mentioned in the site page:

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

The link my name refers to is attached to a page with no data regarding me, it is mainly a placeholder as far as I can manage any conclusion to it being there.

I've registered here on WikiFur today, and I would like to begin to put together an actual page regarding me and my IC self, but I needed to ask this before I go any further in doing so: can you modify the
link mentioned on the page to Canadian Fur Magazine's page to the actual spelling of my IC name (Twopaw, not TwoPaw)? I realize Mari had miscapitalized my name when she published my work in CFM; I did not
address it at the time, as I thought it was a small quibble and actually having my artwork in a printed work was something alone that I needed some time to digest.

That said, I would appreciate it if this change could be made prior to my adding anything to the 'placeholder' blank page prior to any additions I'm intending on making. Thanks for taking the time to
read this, if you've made it to this conclusion.

:I went ahead and changed it for you. What's visible on the page still has the technically incorrect intercapitalization, which I left because the context is a verbatim quote from the publication, but the link now goes to the correct version, [[Twopaw]]. If you find anything else on here that needs a tweak like that, [[WF:BOLD|don't be hesitant]] to go in and change it.

: Updated 9-6-2019 2Paw- Thank you very kindly, Equivamp! I thought that was probably how Wikifur worked, but I've never edited a Wiki of any kind before and I wanted to make a point of asking before I did any fiddling. I'm entirely fine with the original CFM mention spelling my alias as 'TwoPaw' (as that was in fact how it was spelled and presented in the published work, and I've no problem at all with anyone sticking to factual recording of data), if it's in happy coexistence with my own page (to be filled in, thus!) reading my alias with the spelling as I've been known for quite a while, and thoroughly prefer. The warm welcome, including the personal assistance with the changing of the name on the linked page itself (while retaining the accurate reproduction of the spelling published in CFM), I'm thoroughly happy to thank you for, ami! :)
