== Wikifur works with Google Glass! ==

Well, kinda... Pair on test loan from a friend who is a Glassware developer, working on a project that will integrate the glasses net "Search" function with a Wiki Fandom DB search app ([[Wikifur]], [http://fanlore.org/wiki/Main_Page Fanlore], [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_Wiki TARDIS.wikia], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Wookieepedia], etc,...).

Getting pass the Dorkage factor of having to slightly look up and say "Okay, Glass" every bloody time you wish to query, it works. =) "Okay, Glass, Wikifur, Califur" does bring up a (somewhat still on beta display territory) result card (a screenshot should go here, but the API still bugged), with very basic (emphasis "basic") information displayed. [[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]] comes up nice (Logo on upper right, good), but querying [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]] brings up [[Fur Affinity: United]] and vice versa, [[Fur Affinity]] brings up [[FurFright]], [[Furmeet]] brings [[FurMagic]]... (see the pattern yet?).

There will be a (future) option of taking a picture, and upload it to the pertinent Wiki's article (a test shot of some [[Fursuiter]] friends attending [[Califur]] to his test wiki's [[fursuit]] article worked, #@$#! license input needs work "GNU!, gNu, Ganu?, genooo,..."). Cool device, too ^.^

==Replacing multiple instances of one phrase with another==
[http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Special:ReplaceText ReplaceText] might be faster than doing it individually.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 13:09, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
:Actually doing so. There were 800+ pages needed to be changed, so I checked the Special pages directories for the option. But if I didn't knew about, I would have been an appreciated tip. Thanks =) - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 13:20, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

== Unsure about "Cleanup" ==

Yeah, I'm not to sure what is wrong with my page, i know I don't have too many sources, but all this is coming from me and my mind, how can i even source that? -[[Cole Cherno]]

:A little bit fractured, for one. You have your biography segmented and mixed with your fandom history. Bring your real life Biography up first, then your Fandom involvement next (which includes your [[Fursona]]), followed by your skills, as a suggested start. There is times when too much media (images) will encroach on the article (you have to decide how much is truly needed to illustrated/inform graphically your article). And as always, the [[Help:Furry Book of Style|Furry Book of Style]] is your friend for formatting solutions - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 02:40, 9 June 2013 (EDT)

== Smirre ==

Could you help me out a little? I know the text was somewhat subjective, but I was hoping someone could fix it (rather than deleting the whole thing). Also, I apparently forgot to check all links while not logged in, which ones were members only?

Regarding the references, how should one handle references in languages other than English? Maybe add a translation? Excluding all non-English sources does not seem like the best of solutions.

[[Special:Contributions/5.150.238.249|5.150.238.249]] 05:25, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

:Oops, sorry. Looks like some cache somewhere is acting up; it looked like you had reverted my edit. Anyway, do you have any tips for when there are only non-english references?
:[[Special:Contributions/5.150.238.249|5.150.238.249]] 17:07, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

::Sorry to get back late back to you (RL), but it seems that somebody has already filled in the reference vacancies, including the members-only one (which was/is the very first one on the article). As for the translation of reference links, Google has a built-in translator, Safari offers [http://sidetree.com/extensions/Translate_changes.html Extensions], and Firefox [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/google-translator-for-firefox/ Plug-ins], so it is not (almost) an issue. The screenshots (were the use of them as valid reference is still being debated here) were a total beast altogether, as there is no way to translate an image.

::No, the NPOV issue is that it still reads as "an opinion" more than "a fact", and it goes a long way in the article (more than one third) to simply point out that he has social issues with people in a single furry site: Example: Why would an admin's ([[Ricadonna]]) dislike with this individual '''prior''' to joining [[Sveafur]] be listed as an "issue" on [[Smirre]]'s article? (he has no control what other people think of him). The two imaginary friends... Why bring it up?. As long it did not impact a Sveafur directly (financially, emotionally, physically), a personal quirk is not really historical data. The subjects that people found "irritating"": Unless, again, it involved somebody personally, why parade the particular subjects out? (reference links are normally enough to highlight the issue).

::Deaths threats. Now this should be noted, specially if done "''On numerous occasions''" on the site against (presumably more than one) Swedish fur. But there is only one listed instance, and "''what would legally be regarded as threatening to kill people''" is an opinion based loaded phrase... And so on and on. Just an FYI on this point - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 00:23, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

:::Trying to paint a "complete" picture, and doing so without being too biased. Hard work, thanks for your input.

:::There are things that I don't think could be fitted into the article while keeping a neutral point of view. For instance he has posted papers from the Swedish social services saying he has problems with, among lots of other things, paranoia. When he changed his mind and wanted to un-post them he said that "Anonymous" had hacked his computer and posted them, and later confessed that he had done it.

:::Now, as I said, I want to make the whole picture clear, and his paranoia and needing 24/7 assistance are surely some key elements describing a part of his personality. The only sources for this are the aforementioned papers, which are only available as images, in Swedish, which is another reason why it can't be included.

:::As to why I've written about SveaFur in particular, it is for a number of reasons. He has been there for a long time and stirred up a lot of feelings, they had to ban him as a measure to keep the forums alive, and that's where most sources are. Of course he has been at other communities as well. I will se if I can find someone who knows more of his activities elsewhere.

==About my article==
I get that people here edit articles about others, but I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop adding that old information in my article and leave it be. I no longer want that information in my article and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop getting rid of the edits I wrote on MY article.
Thanks. -[[Vivian Ferrox]]

Vivian Ferrox:

== Suggestion for removal (Wikifur-Exclusion?) ==

Never seen an internal suggestion for a person's article removal before, but there is always a first.

The current article's user seems to be determined to remove his/her historical data from the article bit by bit, and anything that gets added the unref tag was applied ("writer"), gets, or will be, deleted as well. In the current, present state, this article is not a serious addition to Wikifur, and since any further data/info gets deleted by its user, further future editing is all but meaningless, more or less prohibiting editors to even try to enhance it. Submitting, then, proposal for article deletion - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 15:48, 18 February 2013 (EST)

:On Twitter, this person has requested ''not'' to have the article removed; I'm also hesitant to exclude someone that somebody other than the person has requested exclusion for. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - <small>[[User talk:Equivamp|talk]]</small> 08:35, 20 February 2013 (EST)

::Not an option I was a really looking to push forward, but since editors seem to be able to restore/add historical data to the article again without being stripped off by the article's user to the point of complete non-relevance, I will remove the proposal and tag. Thanks for the information, Equivamp, by the way - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 10:56, 20 February 2013 (EST)

:::Of course. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - <small>[[User talk:Equivamp|talk]]</small> 13:59, 20 February 2013 (EST)

== Non-restored historical data ==

The following information provided originally by the article's user has not being restored:
* Personal data (name and age) - Privacy rights, up to user for reintroduction.
* Controversy - Up to user for reintroduction.
* Early (childhood) information - Privacy rights, up to user for reintroduction.
* Writer - User makes [https://twitter.com/VivvyFox/status/303974834877120512 a point of not being one], even though she originally [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Vivian_Fox&diff=prev&oldid=362782 wrote that she was]. Up to user for reintroduction.
* Fursuit crafter plans - Unable to determine if this course is still pursued. Up to user for reintroduction.
[[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 13:04, 20 February 2013 (EST)

== Editing ==
I'm really not going to bother trying to edit this anymore.
The article is about me and written by me. I know this is a place where people can freely edit articles, but I'd kinda like for me to be able to edit it how I like it and not have someone come along and screw it up again (if that makes any sense)
*shrug* [[User:Vivian Ferrox|Vivian Ferrox]]

I lied. I edited out the writer tag and older (non existent fursonas).
Please don't add these again, thanks.

'''Vivian Fox''', also known as '''Vivvy Fox''' or just '''Vivvy''' (formerly '''Vivian Ferrox'''), is a [[female]] [[furry artist]] who resides in [[wikipedia:Florida|Florida]], USA.

== Fandom involvement ==

Vivian joined the fandom after seeing [[anthropomorphic]] artwork on such [[:Category:Art archives|art site]]s as [[deviantART]] and [[Fur Affinity]], watching videos of [[furry convention|fur cons]] and [[fursuit]]s, and prompts from friends who were already members of the [[furry community]].

Vivian originally had a bad outlook on the fandom based on articles on the internet that portrayed [[furries]] in a negative way. After coming across a [[furry]] documentary on [[Youtube]], {{fact}} and reading articles that portrayed the fandom in a better way, Vivian created her first [[fursona]].

=== Fursona ===

Vivian's fursona is a yellow and black [[fox]]-[[akita]] [[hybrid]].

Vivian's former fursona includes:
* A yellow [[vixen]] with black [[paw]]s, a black and green [[tail]] tip, and black and green streaked hair, with piercings in the ears and eyebrow.

== Art and media ==

Vivian Fox usually works with a [[W:Wacom|Wacom Bamboo Capture]] and [[W:SAI (software)|Easy Paint Tool SAI]], as well as paper, pencil, and other [[W:Outline of drawing and drawings|traditional media]].
