Saphi

2021-12-25T13:10:19Z

Zanimum: Not sure what happened between the Guest of Honor bit and now, but all of the accounts are offline.

{{unref}}
'''Saphi''', also known as '''Saphi Fox''' (or '''SaphiFox'''), was a [[fursuiter]], [[YouTuber]] and [[fursuit performer]] from the [[Wikipedia:Czech Republic|Czech Republic]].

His fursona was a blue Fox with pinkish-purple eyes. He is a silent suiter, however some videos of him show him making what appears to be squeaking noises.

According to his Twitter bio, Saphi is a YouTuber and actor.

Saphi is a [[guest of honor]] for [[Capital City Fur Con 2020]].<ref name="2020Homepage">[https://capitalcityfurcon.org/ Capital City Fur Con]. Retrieved September 10, 2019.</ref>

Forum:Forum:Kids book: is it "furry"?

I rediscovered a kids book recently, ''[http://www.amazon.com/Teddy-Bears-Picnic-Aladdin-Picture/dp/0689835302/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322008905&sr=8-1 The Teddy Bear's Picnic]''. The book revolves around a hundred or more adults and children dressing as bears, and going into the woods to picnic. The outfits are mascot-like, and they simply entertain themselves with games, food, etc while in costume. The author certainly didn't mean to write about a fictional colony of furry fans with fursuits, especially considering this was first published in 1983, same year as the first use of the term "furry fandom". But can it qualify for an article? -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 19:45, 22 November 2011 (EST)

Can anyone make a case for its notability, in the article and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sabrina_Online_(2nd_nomination) on the deletion debate], despite the fact it's been published continuously since September 1996. -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 19:43, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

== RBW event status ==

:''Regarding [[User talk:Foxberance#Convention vs. party vs. event]]''

As the main organizer for both the 2007 and 2008 RBW conventions i would like to point out that we ARE a convention.

We have in fact a number of specific tracks for fursuiting, spiritual Furs, art, and general entertainment. We also are based at two location. The 'Party' aspect being held on the boat on the Saturday evening along with the more traditional programming being held at the main venue throughout Saturday and Sunday. 2007 and 2008 have specific affiliated hotels to the convention. RBW as of 1st July will be a registered UK charity and LLP As myself (Foxb) and Rapido as the chairmen.

For 2008 we are holding the event at a major and yet to be disclosed venue in London across 4 days. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Foxberance|Foxberance]] ([[User talk:Foxberance|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Foxberance|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

:I'd like to see what other people think of this, so I'll bring it up as a question on the [[Talk:Red Blue & White|appropriate talk page]]. I would note that there is no mention of a hotel on your website, and in fact the only thing it says about accommodation is that it is not provided as part of the registration. The term "track" is also generally used to refer to several things happening simultaneously in different locations rather than one after the other. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

==Newspaper Articles==
Hi GR. Just writing wondering if you can clarify the way articles on newspaper pieces should look?

Sine has gone and removed the italicization of the title from two entries I put in today: [[Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My‎]], [[March of the Furries]]. (I'd originally copied the format from an earlier article about a Denver Westword piece: [[Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits]].)

Is Sine's way correct? (It seems to be, I think Sine is using an accepted style, but I thought I'd double-check before spending time going through the list of Media Coverage articles and standardizing them all - there are few in there that italicize the title).

Also, some articles on newspaper/magazine columns have the "(year) events" category whilst others don't. What's the correct thing here?
-- [[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 20:56, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

:I would generally agree with this. The titles of newspaper articles are typically encased in quotes if there is a need to offset them from the text. Given that they are already bolded (being the title of the page) this is probably not necessary. We would italicize the name of the publication.

:It's tempting to suggest that we should use [[:Category:News by date]] for this, but it's probably a good idea to keep the two concepts separate. We do have the [[Timeline of media coverage]] for non-furry media. I don't think the date categorization really adds much in this case, so it could be removed (they're not really an event). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for that, It's more for effect, anyways, down to buisness. I am aware You had 2 Users by the names of '''Saboteur''' and '''Iratus''', and that they both apparently vandalized pages of your Site. I Regret to inform You that these were both the same Person. And I know exactly who (I cannot say his name due to privacy rights). I work on Halopedia mostly at my school, and as a result, I had a bonehead who watched what I was doing. He did not like me much and as a result, created a account and vandalized my page. When we booted him, he must have moved onto you page and vandalized your files. (As why your Site, He hated anything that was not gangsta or of gangster style and just ran across your site.) I regret all that has happened and hope for the best the damage was minimal(May I ask How bad The Damage Was? He usually like rape,porn and sex related "Stuff"). If you wish to contact me, Leave a message on this site, or more preferably on Halopedia on the Userpage WRAITH as I will likely forget this site and you message! Anyways I lok forward to seeing you in the future and wish you the best of Luck.

== WTF!?!? ==

You know, you've really demonstrated why I made the right choice to get the hell away from you furries.

I posted a warning about a person who vicitimized me, abused me, left me in a horrible financial situation, and even said he plans to kill someone, all of these FACTS, and you accuse me of attacking someone and delete the post, and don't even bother to contact me.

What the F*** is the matter with you?

Fine, to hell with you if you want to shield Siege, and let him continue to attack other furries. Your name will go down with a list of many others once Siege is put in jail for felony assault, fraud, domestic abuse and much more and the truth is known, the truth I am trying like hell to get out.

You can't imagine how pissed off this makes me feel. Every where I turn, there's Siege, lying, being protected, being allowed to, enabled, to abuse and possibly kill people because people like you can't have the common decency to check things out.

Why didn't I post proof? First, I didn't see a way to post images. Second, I can't legally post Siege's father's phone number. Third, I can't legally post the name of his employer so that that lie can be verified. Fourth, what the hell sense does it make for me to post the name and location of the person Siege has threatened to kill? What are you, f*ing stupid, or do you WANT to see him killed? Is that the only way you people will see the truth; or will you find some way to blame that on me too?

You know, its bad enough that Siege f*ed me over; took advantage of me, abused me, deprived me of my ability to finish college, much less survive; took away my ability to be financially independent (I'm disabled)...now I have to continue to be victimized by you, Maui, and all the other people who believe a sociopath over a victim.

I want you to do me, and yourself, and the furry community a HUGE f*ing favor. Try to imagine how I feel, what I"m going through...its quite easy, just pretend in that brain of yours, that what I said was all factual. If you can do that, if you can imagine what it was like for me, then you will understand how difficult it is to restrain myself from going totally off on you for this. {{unsignedIP|4.242.147.72}}

:What you posted was an essay, not an encyclopedia article. It was purely intended as an attack on the character of its subject and contained several unsubstantiated statements from your point of view. ''Regardless'' of whether or not it was true (something that none of us could have proved to our own satisfaction from the zero references given), it was not a good article. General policy in this case is to delete unsubstantiated attacks and stick with the bare minimum of facts that we can confirm. As none of it was referenced, the entire article was deleted (by [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Siegewolf another administrator], I might add - but I do agree with him).

:WikiFur is not the court of Internets justice. Nor is it our job to "check things out". If you wish to make such statements on WikiFur, it is ''your'' job to provide us with all the sources necessary to do so without risk. If there is a serious problem then you should go to the real world police and talk to them - and any action that they take will provide a series of referencable documents that can be used in the construction of an article, if necessary. If you want to make an assertion of facts that you cannot provide third-party proof for then you should do so on your personal web page or journal. This is not the place for it, any more than an issue of Encyclopedia Brittanica would be the place to announce new research or accuse someone of corruption.

:Ultimately, we do not wish to be responsible for defaming someone. Unless what you say is true, defamation is exactly what your essay is, and we're not willing to take that risk just on your word. There is a big difference between saying "Person X says this" and "we say this" - and your essay was the latter. If we say bad things about someone, we must take reasonable care to assure their accuracy, and that is why we insist on references in such cases - so that we can attribute accusations and base our own statements on verifiable facts. Without such proof, we risk opening ourselves up to legal liability for publishing statements with reckless disregard as to whether or not they are true. See the bottom of [[Sibe]] for the level of referencing that is considered appropriate. That article is not perfect in other ways, but we are at least reasonably sure that the statements within it are accurate and that we won't get sued for it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

: Sure, as long as Wikinews doesn't mind it going up here as well. I may decide to condense the end result somewhat for Wikinews, as I plan to make several shorter posts here as ongoing coverage. Others may also be writing about it, but [[WikiFur:WikiFur News|WikiFur News]] is [[WikiFur:Copyrights|dual-licensed CC-BY-2.5]] so there should be no problem with that. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:12, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

:: <s>Just thinking, you have to tell people WikiFur News contributors that any changes they make to your article on this site are co-licensed as CC-BY, not just the normal GFDL.</s> As soon as I typed that, I read about the dual licensing, that's great! I don't know why the Wikia default is GFDL, instead of Creative Commons, GFDL is such a weird license, since you technically have to reprint a whole three-page document with even just a sentence excerpted.

:: Yeah, whatever length or format you'd like.

:: I've published the article about the play, and tacked on a "in other news" bit from [[News:Anthrocon selects Animal Friends as 2007 charity|this article]], just to highlight the whole charitable element. Thanks! -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 14:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

::: Hi, I've asked the anon on their talk page, about [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fursuit&diff=prev&oldid=131464305 this edit]. Hopefully they reply.

::: Great article on the con on Wikinews, I've reworded a little teeny bit here and there, and added a definition of what a fursuit is. (When I posted your play article, people were entirely dumbfounded what a furry is, which is I guess better than the default response so many have.

::: I've added Lucky Coyote's pic to the fursuit article on Wikipedia. Do you know Blondefoxy to any extent?

I don't want to peave anyone off... -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 16:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

::::Thanks for adding your clarification to [http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Anthrocon_2007_draws_thousands_to_Pittsburgh_for_furry_weekend the article]. Sometimes it's hard to know what things do or don't need further explaining in the body text (the article was already very long, so I was hesitant to put in much more exposition). I didn't know you posted the one about the play; I've added that to the related news section.

::::I must admit that I do not know Blondefoxy/[[Lucky Coyote|Lucky]] personally, and indeed I did not know that was another name of hers. Most fursuiters tend to be fairly happy about people showing off their costumes, though, and Lucky was one of those actively participating in group skits and posing for pictures.

==Question from RVDDP2501/possible new article==

Hey GreenReaper, listen, I'm sorry to bother you. I just found out on the internet about some new comic book from Image Comics called "The Astounding Wolf-Man", there is a rather small page about it on wikipedia.org. my question is should there be an article about it here as well, I've never asked about making a page here about something on wikipedia before so I'm not sure about my place here in asking this question or if there is even a need to make one, I just thought I'd ask considering the subject matter of the comic since it deals with well a werewolf. I hope I haven't bothered you with my (hopefully not a stupid) question, ok then, see ya and I look forward to your question - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 01:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

:Tricky question. I'm not sure there is a need, since it doesn't really seem all that furry to me. I could be wrong, but it seems to be more of a classical werewolf/vampire/creatures of the night thing. A reviewer [http://www.ifanboy.com/archive/weblog/ifanboy_preview.html didn't think much of it] on its giveaway in [[Wikipedia:Free Comic Book Day|Free Comic Book Day]]. Here's some [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=11010 pictures from issue 2]. I'd personally give it a few more issues to see if it turns out to have any kind of a lasting impact, or starts to go beyond the "oh me, oh my, I'm a werewolf, I have super powers to do good and/or evil" genre. But that's just me. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 03:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

== Wikipedia Extinctioners Page ==

Hey GreenReaper, I was wondering if I could ask your opinion or help on the Wikipedia Extinctioners page. The Page had a second deletion debate and survived but in the process, all links to the Wikifur page were removed, I was wondering what can be done, can a link to the main page be put back in the external links section? there was this huge wikifur link removal thing which I only heard bits and pieces about which I think was envolved with the links being removed. I would really like to put back the link since the wikifur article has much better coverage on the topic but I just don't know if doing so would restart the removal process or threaten my membership with wikipedia. What do you think I should do? Oh, here is the link to the question posted by Labfox - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Extinctioners#Wikifur_Link - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 21:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

== Request from RVDDP2501 (New Category) ==

Hey GreenReaper, I'm sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you maybe able to do something for me, I was wondering if you could create a new category for the extinctioners characters, specifically those who have appeared/debuted in a side comic called "Artic Blue" in the Extinctioners universe. The characters who have or will appear are the [[Extinctioners#Fem_Fatales|Fem Fatales]], [[The Cerberus Brothers]], [[Vincent Blackphox]], [[Reggy Bryghttail]] and a few others who will come later. You can view these comics at the extinctioners website or on Shawntae's art pages at deviantart.com or furaffinity.net.

:The best title is probably [[:Category:Artic Blue characters]]. You could create that page and put <nowiki>[[Category:Extinctioners characters]]</nowiki> inside it, so that it is a subcategory. It is not necessary to have an administrator to do this, anyone can create categories. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 15:07, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for letting me know someone is here to help. It's actually my time to do an article on an Wiki and I'm still trying to learn the ropes. Thanks for letting me know about the "show preview" button, as I still have toms of stuff to put in.

Thank you again :)

=="Not Certified = Not Artist?" News==
Just re-posting what I put in the talk section of that page, in case you didnt check: It's not personal drama any more than the "Krystal Meme". Trust me, this has effected a LOT of furaffinity members. I added it because I thought people out of the know needed a place to find out what was going on without having to wait for the monstrous page to load, or hear about it from biased, or angered sources. It has already reached LiveJournal and EncyclopediaDramatica, a place I doubt one can find unbiased furry news. It has spawned numerous pictures of its own, but no, lol, it hasnt necessarily caught the newsworthy eye of Vinci and Arty..-- [[User:AnonIhmus|AnonIhmus]]([[Usertalk:AnonIhmus|talk]])

This matters to a lot of people and affects a lot of people from the site, but whatever..Take it down, I dont give a shit.
My links did work, btw.

Not that it matters, but just fyi- this effected at least a thousand people, not one. I kinda said before it effected a lot of people, not just the journal poster, but people who saw it, people who heard about it and so on...It also made its way into 2 The Ranting Gryphon's show. ~Anon Ihmus

== Question ==

Hey GreenReaper, sorry to bother you but I was wondering if I could ask your opinion and help with something, I am in the process of creating a character page for a character who will soon appear in the Extinctioners Artic Blue Webcomic called "Neige Unuulaq (Frostbite)" who was originally created by [[Rei Vegan]], my question is in regards to an image created by Rei Vegan, a model/reference sheet for Frostbite - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/427311/ - Rei Vegan has given me permission to create the character page as well as use this reference sheet in the page but what do I do about the licencing info, do I need to get a licence from wikifur to use art by Rei Vagen? - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 03:07, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

:You can upload it and say on the image page that Rei has given WikiFur permission to host the image, as long as Rei has told you that this is the case.

i think im ok for now..... any suggestions please PLEASE enlighten me... im really new at this an appreciate the help

:My main suggestion is to look at all of the [[help]] pages, both on syntax and on how to write good articles. You might also want to check out some of the [[WikiFur:Featured articles/Complete|featured articles]] to see how good articles are written and presented (click the '''bold''' links on that page for the full articles). Obviously, most articles about people are unlikely to be featured, because there's only so much you can say about one person, but it's a target. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

== "See also" Re: "How To Be a Furry" ==

"''It is a WikiFur article''". Yes, but don't we follow that "See also"s links should be reserved to "related" Wikifur articles?; In this case, [[Crush! Yiff! Destroy!]], [[LOLfurries]] and [[Furfags.com]] are "related" due to their purpose and function; on the [[Drama]] article, [[Fursecution]] and [[Schadenfreude]] are "related" on the "See also" for their meaning and intent; On the [[Anthropomorphic]] article, etc, etc,..

Right now, [[How To Be a Furry]] is the odd man out on a "See also" that lists related web sites with this type of content, hence the "See also"s directs to '''related''' Wikifur/Wikipedia/Wiki articles and entries only''. Didn't say it was not a Wikifur article, just that needed to be "related." [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:03, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

: I placed [[How To Be a Furry]] under CYD's "See Also:" because CYD hosts the main online version of the article, and it's a satire article about furry drama and the [[furry fandom]] in general, which is certainly in CYD's domain. If CYD thought the work fit their motives enough to be hosted on their site, then that's related enough to CYD for my tastes. [[User:Jigsaw Forte|Jigsaw Forte]] 03:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

::CYD hosts a plethora a articles, images and miscellany in the vein of "How To Be a Furry." Adding all of them would just cluttered the "See also," or just having this article listed on the SE, and not the rest would seem to be favoritism. The CYD article could mentioned "How To Be a Furry" on the article itself, as a solution, which I can quickly edit in right now to see how it would look [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
::: Fair enough; CYD article looks fine with it in, and association is still made between the two articles. That should work. [[User:Jigsaw Forte|Jigsaw Forte]] 03:48, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

::::Aye. By the by, not antagonism was intended when I pointed out and made the first edit on your addition, just trying to follow the Wiki's ways of data presentation and formatting (which I still stumble over from time to time) =) [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Strange layout issue ==

Hi GreenReaper,
I've just been tinkering with the [[Furfire]] article which for some very odd and unusual reason was causing the entire Wiki CSS layout to collapse in a rather horrible way (See [http://users.bigpond.net.au/coles/Data/strangelayout.png image]). The strange thing is that it only seems that it only affected the most recent revision of the article despite there being the same markup in the article. (I originally noticed something wrong with [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Furfire&oldid=167083 rev. 167083] but when I look at it in the history the layout appears to be just fine.

The bit of markup that I believe to be possibly suspect is:

<code><nowiki><div style="float:right">__TOC__</div></nowiki></code>

Once I removed this it appeared to come good. Does this make any sense to you why this would happen? I even dropped over to IE7 just in case my version of Firefox was on the fritz, but it persisted there too.

It looks like it's fixed now - but I still feel that that was really quite odd. -[[User:Composingliger|Composingliger]] 14:39, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

:This is due to a problem with the cached version of such pages when edited by either anonymous users or users with the wikiwyg system turned on, which incorporates additional markup into the page. The root cause is that it encloses things in a span and half of the div is within the span. I had hoped they would have fixed this by now, but it appears not. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 15:16, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
::Alright, in that case I guess there's not all that much more that can be done that hasn't already been fixed. Thanks for the clarification. -[[User:Composingliger|Composingliger]] 15:31, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

== Request for complete removal ==

Hi Green.

For personal reasons, I wish to have [[Quilrynn]] and all revisions of that article purged from the database and have it protected with the exclusion notice.

Also, I would like [[Moeryl]] to be excluded as well. --[[User:JKM]], 10/27/2007, 11:05 CDT

== Name redirects ==

FYI: I left messages for Spirou to stop reversing the removal of my real name as a pointer to my wikifur entry.

See http://drewkitty.livejournal.com/238637.html for verification.

If you feel comfortable taking care of this yourself, please do. I don't have confidence that he will without drama.

Thanks.

-- drewkitty(at gmail d0t c0m)

:I have deleted the redirects concerned. I think it is excessive to blame Spirou for not doing so the first time. Removal of personal information is something we take seriously, but we are going to make reasonably sure that we're talking to the person concerned first.

== Hi! ==

Uhm hiya. I'm new here to this Wiki, but I have been a furry for a while, and I'm kind of clueless when it comes to Wikis. How do I start off? ^^;

[[User:Toshiro Kitteh|Toshiro Kitteh]] 17:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

:Hi there, Toshiro! Probably the best way is to have a look at the [[help]], including our [[WikiFur:Policies and guidelines|policies and guidelines]], and then read some of the [[WikiFur:Featured articles/Complete|featured articles]] (not just the summaries) to get a good idea of the sort of material that makes a good article. You can click Edit on any of these pages to see how they were put together.
:After that, consider making a few edits to an article yourself. Some people start by trying to write an article about themselves in the third person (i.e. [[Toshiro Kitteh]]), but it is by no means a requirement. You might just want to use your [[User:Toshiro Kitteh|user page]] to describe yourself more personally - or you might not want to write about yourself at all, but something that interests you. If you want to write about something that doesn't yet have an article, just find or add a link to it in another article, and then click it to start the page (you can also just change the URL, reload, and click edit, but then it might not be linked to anything). Adding to or making corrections to existing articles is just as useful, though. You can find various suggestions on the [[WikiFur:Community Central|Community Central]] page.

== Dalhusky the dog here. ==

Hello, GreenReaper. It has been about three years since I wrote that "Furry Irony" post.
At this moment, I am somewhat of a different person now than I was when I posted that article. I cannot easily explain what I mean by that. I am a very complicated person.
----
But what I am trying to say is that I have been blown away by the fact that so many people like to hate and bash people like me for being aroused by a cartoon picture or a real animal. I have certain [[Zoophilia|likings]] that even many furries detest. I also bailed out of a troll war on YouTube and canceled my MaxSnowDog account in hopes of removing some terrible baggage recently due to my trying to tell people about my beliefs with regards to [[zoophilia]] and getting threats along with a very stupid E.D. article about me. Maybe we could talk together sometime because I would rather chat than post because of the way I'm feeling currently.

== Sarafina ==

Hello.

I would like to request for removal of http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Sarafina.jpg as being a personal offensive hoax submitted by some hater. This is not my photo! :( Also i would like to ask you to remove http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Image:SaffyWowMeSm.jpg as is was a beta-version of some early art posted without my permission thus violating the copyright law. Also the history of http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Sarafina_(artist) contains a hoax personal information(real name and adress) that is highly offensive to me. Please, purge it from data base. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Sarafina(the artist)|Sarafina(the artist)]] ([[User talk:Sarafina(the artist)|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sarafina(the artist)|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

For one thing, real Sarafina does not speak English well enough to know the words "hoax", "purge" and "violating" (real Russian would use the words "lie", "delete" and "break" -- these are the words we are taught in schools for the respective verbs.) As sich, I'm gonna protect that page for the time being since somebody seem to be trying to peck on it. -- [[User:Wesha|Wesha]] 16:01, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

::: Don't worry, I have it under control. I now have reports from Russian furry community about certain stir on the topic, so let me figure it all out.

==Furry sexuality survey==
Hi there.

I was wanting to report a story on WikiFur News, but seeing as how I am one of the people involved with the story, I do not believe I am able to under WikiFur rules.

The story in question is that I have organised a survey to look into furry sexuality - the first survey to look pacificly into this topic. It is reported in ''[http://robomilk.sirkain.net/ft/4/sexuality_survey/ The Furtean Times]''. So far, over 100 people have answered the survey, and granted, a few issues have been brought up. If you want to write up the story or ask me questions about it, please ask me.

How do you mess with the colors/shading on a wiki table? I proposed something like that for [[Talk:Homosexuality|this page]]. [[User:Boingo|Boingo]] 07:49, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

:Same as on a normal HTML table, except that there are certain limitations to prevent problems (most notably, you can't set an image as a background unless you do so via sitewide CSS). Probably what you would find most useful is the background-color style. Have a look at any HTML tutorial out there and you should find some tips on HTML tables that you can put to use here. You might also find [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Help:Table] useful. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 08:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

== RBW ==
Having resolved the previous 2 issues, I've come across another which would be the table that's now in the main [[RBW]] article, that lists 2006-8 and the GoH and staff. Although there are now staff and GoH pages, the links in the table are still directing to the edit section of the categories and I can't figure why. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Axle|Axle]] ([[User talk:Axle|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Axle|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.
:It takes a moment for the wiki software to fully update the links - to prevent locking, it does not do so immediately, but defers such actions to spread across page accesses. It is blue now. If in the future you see such problems, try adding ?action=purge to the URL (or &action=purge if a ? is already in the URL). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:59, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
::Was just popping back to mention that I may have jumped the gun somewhat, but thanks again for taking the time to respond to my misguided queries.

== These might be stupid questions... ==

but I still would like to ask:

*Is it always unacceptable to add a link to [[[encyclopedia dramatica]] to a page (Looking something like this: <nowiki>[http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Aeris A satrical take on the 'Mary Sue' phenomenon]</nowiki>), or does it depend on the circumstances?
*What's the policy on using someone's real, birth-cirtificate listed name in their biographical article?
*What's the policy on using real life pictures in biographical articles?
*Since they're so short and they don't really have any prospects for more content, shouldn't the articles '[[bisexual]]' and '[[heterosexual]]' be merged into '[[homosexual]]' to create '[[sexual preference]]'?
[[User:Boingo|Boingo]] 05:03, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
:All content decisions are made on a case by case basis. However, ED rarely makes a good link, due to its habit of putting a highly negative spin on any subject that it covers (except for those which result in the glorification of drama). Its editors are also quite willing to make things up if doing so results in "lulz". For these reasons and others, linking to ED is strongly discouraged, and I would advise you to treat anything you find there with caution. For the specific example you give, there seems no reason not to just use an interwiki link to Wikipedia, which has a perfectly good article on the topic. We would not need to have a separate article as it is not a furry topic.
:Our policy with birth names is to look at whether or not that name is being concealed in any way. For example, many artists actually go by their real names. Others use fan names alongside their real names. Still others make no mention of their real names, even on the websites containing their work. In the latter case, the use of the real name (if you know it) is probably not appropriate. Real names will usually be removed on request from the subject.
:The same thing goes for real life pictures. If you know, or have reason to believe that someone would not want their picture on WikiFur, it is probably best not to put it here. On the other hand, many people do not mind, and it can be a useful means of identification.
:Don't really have an opinion on the last. If you think doing so would make a better encyclopedia, you should do so. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 06:24, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

::I made the changes. I'd like to ask you some things about the '[[sexual preference]]' page.
*I wrote a snippet saying that some people think that sexual orientation is an artificial construct and does not really exist. But I don't know of any furries advocating that position besides the one person that I linked.
*I altered the colors on the table so it has the holistic, ying-yang style of intermixed pink and blue. I tried to lighten the colors a lot compared to my first try at it. How does it look now?
*I wrote a section saying that a cordial split exists among Christian furs between those who believe homosexuality is immoral and those who disagree. Is this accurate? Or do all (or nearly all) of the Christian furries accept homosexuality? The only anti-gay-marriage furry that I know of is [[Prince Jeremy]].*
*I'd like to find citations for the theories saying ''since having a [[non-furry]] significant other and raising children may result in a fan having less time and money to devote to the fandom, gays are over-represented because they are less likely to be raising children'' and ''Others guess that gays are not over-represented, but that they are simply much more likely to be open about their sexual orientation among their fellow fans than they are in other areas of their life.''
*One other theory is that the demographics of the fandom is reasonably close to the general population. It just happens that people who become furries (a 'coming out' of sorts) become more exposed to alternate lifestyles (which might result in a paralell 'coming out'). I considered adding this to the article, but I didn't because it seems overly speculative.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Based on his infamous "you all belong in concentration camps" comment. [[User:Boingo|Boingo]] 23:44, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

:I have made [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Sexual_preference&diff=177377&oldid=177376 further edits]. Some general points:
:*If you are intending to move one page to another title, use the Move tab at the top rather than cut and pasting. Doing the latter breaks the edit history, and deprives others of the credit for their prior edits, which is required for [[WikiFur:Copyrights|GFDL]] compliance.
:*Link to Wikipedia by using <nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Article name|text to display]]</nowiki>.
:*Per the [[WikiFur:Furry Book of Style|style guide]], only the first word of titles should be capitalized unless the word would normally be capitalized (like a name).
:*Use a spellchecker. :-) If you use a [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html recent beta of Firefox] it will have one built in.
:To answer your questions:
:*The table looks fine to me.
:*I suspect there are some who are less than enthused about it, but I do not know for sure. You could always ask the community of Christian furs (or see if the question has been asked already). Jeremy would be an outlier for most purposes.
:*I'm not sure you can really get a citation for that, but you could give examples of involvement in such activities. For example, very significant proportions of the leadership at [[convention]]s and other furry events are gay, including key members of (at least) [[List of conventions by attendance|the top five event by attendance]], as well as the larger ones overseas. I should note that leadership in this area is not exclusive - as far as I know, there is no "anti-breeder" bias - but if you look closely it is a very clear trend. It might be because gay community members are more interested in organizing communal events. I don't know.
:*Possible. I think the current situation is a combination of this effect and others. Again, more research is required. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

== Editing/Deleting account name ==

Hey there GreenReaper =D I've got a question for yah =P

Is it possible on Wikis to edit your name after it's been registered? I don't just mean a nickname or 'Real Name' on the preferences page, but the one used to log in and the title of a User Page.

I'd like to know because I want to revamp my fusona, and thought it would be a bit selfish to create a whole new account as well as one I wouldn't use anymore.

Big thanks if it's possible =) [[User:Listeel|Aetherfax]] 15:50, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, Wikia does not offer such a "rename" function (partly due to complication involved with updating all 3000+ wikis with a new name). It is probably best to just go ahead and make the registration, then move the old user page to the new one, using the Move tab - or if there was not one, just use a #REDIRECT. Make sure to update the page about you, too. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 16:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

== Comics and webcomics ==

Hi again. I don't think you remember me, but that isn't important now.
I have a couple of questions (sorry my horrible english). I've saw here furry webcomics being show.
My questions:

1. There are specific rules for publish information for a webcomic?
2. What it needs a webcomic for being considered "furry"? I ask this because in [[VG Cats]], even if the main characters are 2 furry cats, the comic isn't furry.

Why I ask this? Because I have a webcomic. The main character is a fuzzy furry creature, but even if she uses its furry enchant for charming everyone this webcomic is ambiented in the "real world".

And the other thing: A webcomic, must to be in english for being here? Because the comic is in spanish (my naive language).

Thanks for the time for answering those questions :) --[[Usuario:DragonTrainer|<big>D</big>ragon<big>T</big>rainer]] - Flamewars [[User_talk:DragonTrainer| here]], please. 12:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

:Hi DragonTrainer! Apologies for the delay, I've been a bit busy at work recently.
:There is no requirement for comics to be in English - indeed, we are quite interested in hearing about such things in other languages. The language of the comic should be noted on the article. Similarly, it is not a requirement for events to take place in a completely furry world - a comic dealing with the actions of a single furry character or group of characters is fine.
:As for the information - ideally the things we write on WikiFur are facts that could be taken from the website about the comic, or from other sources. If the comic is in Spanish, then it is fine for that information to be in Spanish there, as long as your summary of it on WikiFur is in English. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

== Removing a name on "People". ==

Hello there! i am Crowe Basalt, and previously, i did go by "Grimmutt". i edited an article on "Grimmutt", but, as i am going back to only using the "Crowe Basalt" name, i'd like to have "Grimmutt"'s page removed.

thank you! {{unsigned|Crowebasalt}}

:Hi there, Crowe, and welcome back to WikiFur! The best way to go about that is usually to move the article, as that preserves the original history. I will fix that up later tonight when I get home. Do you wish us to keep the information about your character Grimmutt as a separate section on the page about you, or should I remove it and just mention that you used to go by the name? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:40, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== Alternative to page protection ==

Hey, this is Carrie Pika.

Is there any way I can get this page locked so it shows only this? I don't want anyone adding personal information about me without my knowledge, so I'd like to have it left at just this.

Thanks~ {{unsigned|CarriePika}}

:We can probably do that. You could also just put your email into your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] and then click the Watch tab, so it will tell you whenever someone edits so that you can check it out. Which would you prefer? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:35, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== something to be very angry ==

I wrote an article and someone, german wrote me this:

"Meine Fresse, ich hab noch nie so ein BESCHISSENES ENGLISCH gelesen. Kauf dir mal ein verdammtes Leben!!"

In a free translation it's:"Damn I've never read such a shitty english. Buy a damn life"
Well maybe my english isn't taht good but is it necessary to write the comment in this way? Without an name or anything else.

I think you're not able to find out who did it are you?

And so maybe you could delete my account and the article about me. because I don't want to be a part of something like this. Sorry and thanks for the chocolat. ^^ {{unsigned|Andraste}}

:That comment [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Andraste&action=history was made] by a person with the IP address [[User:89.48.235.195|89.48.235.195]]. They are obviously not a regular user, otherwise they would indeed have signed their comment - and made the edit with a registered account. That edit to the talk page was their [[Special:Contributions/89.48.235.195|only contribution so far]]. There is therefore little to say about them, other than that their IP address resolved to the name "Lebc3.l.pppool.de" - probably a dialup account in Germany.

:I would suggest you pay as much attention to you as someone who posts once on a forum anonymously to insult you, never having contributed to that forum before - that is, precisely no attention at all. If your English is not the best, so what? You are German! The fact that you can write English at all is better than most English people could do with German. If they thought the article was bad, the anonymous editor should have fixed it rather than complained about it. And, in fact, many others did. :-)

:In the last day [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Andraste&action=history several edits] by at least four other people have been made to the article about you (perhaps you made a link to it from somewhere else?). I would ask that you consider '''those''' edits to be an example of what WikiFur is, and not the anonymous commenter - who, I would note, could not even manage to put their ''own'' comment in English. We have [[WikiFur:No personal attacks|a policy against personal attacks]], and any regular contributor would know better than to make such a comment. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:59, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

== Recategorization of [[List of convention acronyms]] ==

I don't see why this fits better with [[:Category:Convention terms]] than [[:Category:Conventions]] when it seems to fit the Conventions cat just as well as [[List of furs who were married at a furry con]] or [[List of conventions by attendance]] (both of which are in [[:Category:Conventions]]), since like those two, its a sort of comparison/reference list between different conventions, as opposed to Category:Convention terms which seems to be a list of general terms used within a convention. --[[User:Chibiabos|Chibiabos]] 21:12, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

:OK. Change it back if you wish. My view was that an acronym was a convention term, but I can can see your side too. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:59, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

== Wikifur now adversarial? ==

I've read with interest the discussion on Sibe, specifically your comment:

''That is why I am opposed to the removal of the article in whole - because what he has done deserves remembering. It is our business, because Sibe has been bothering us as a community.''

Does this mean Wikifur will not be so much as a source of neutral information, but that Wikifur will now become adversarial in relations to information about people who you (singularly or collectively) believe have wronged Furry? Do you feel that it's now your job/right/reponsibility to punish these people by using Wikifur as a "bully pulpit"?

I hope this isn't the case. Wikifur, despite a healthy dose of pro-Furry slobbery, has been a respectable source of neutral information.

:You'd have to put that question to the wider community for a full answer, as it's a question about where they want WikiFur to go. I'm one of the editors leading the project, but there are others. Still, I can provide some explanation, and the answer I would give is basically "no, but we're not going to go out of our way to do such people any favours either."

:The information on the individuals itself ''should'' unquestionably be neutral and factual (no, this doesn't always happen, and if you see a problem, please explain why and fix it). The only choice we have been making in some cases is whether or not to ''remove'' that neutral information (or some of it) on request, per the [[WikiFur:Personal information|personal information policy]]. This might well ''not'' be a neutral decision, because this is a community made up of members of the furry fandom, and as it is our website it is up to us to decide whether or not that is appropriate. Ultimately our role is to serve the best interests of the fandom, and that generally means trying not to hurt those who are or have been worthwhile members of it. We may care less about the possibility of hurting other people.

:If a person is just a regular member of the fandom - maybe well-regarded, maybe just "one of the gang", then people tend not to fuss too much if they want to remove personal information - and if they have not really done all that much special, that might include the entire article about them (if not, then references to them might remain in other articles). If an individual has, over time, given the community a significant amount of grief, they are likely to say "no, this person is just trying to hide from the problems they have caused" and deny the request. In short, if they've had no respect for our community, then we as a community are likely to have as little respect for them. That is why exclusions that may be contentious go to talk pages - so that the community can decide what to do in that particular situation.

:These sorts of situation are fortunately pretty rare. In Sibe's case, though, his "bothering" was widely commented-on, were intimately connected to his person (not any external group), and occured over a long period of time. If WikiFur is recording furry history, it makes little sense to exclude him, particularly given that he has shown no reticence (or regret) on occasion over detailing the lives of others where it suited ''him''. We're perfectly aware that he doesn't like it being up there, but over time he's pissed off enough people in the fandom that few seem to care about what he feels anymore.

:The thing is, all we have to do is say the truth. His own actions are what comdemn him. We don't even need to say they were bad. If telling the truth about someone makes them look bad in the eyes of the reader, then it's a fair bet that they deserve it.

:This situation of information removal based on respect does not really apply to groups, whatever the standing of the group in the community. I would not support removing the history of the [[Burned Furs]], for example, or that of [[Sociopolitical Ramifications]], or [[FurryMUCK]], because these are important groups that have had a historical impact on the fandom. Maybe if it was a really small and personal group that hasn't . . . again, that'd be discussed on the appropriate talk pages.

One final question: why is it so common to list the real names of people who've had adversarial relations with furry but not with those individuals considered friendly to the fandom? Why are real names included at all?

:There might be various reasons for the inclusion of real names. For some people, their real name is just one item of information about them, such as the colour of their character's fur. Other people might not '''have''' nicknames that are well-known within the fandom (but really, this applies as much if not more to people "friendly to the fandom" as to others). In that case, it seems appropriate to use their real name, just as we tend to use the real name of artists that have used it as their identifier in the fandom.

:In some cases, there may have been a good reason to find out the real name of a person, particularly if it might allow members of the furry fandom to more easily identify a person who is using a variety of nicknames or even their real name in a different venue (we can't say "go look at Laurence's posts in forum X" without telling them who Laurence is). It might also be that people are just more inclined to include the real names of people that they don't like, in the hope that others outside the fandom will see what that person is like. This is not ideal editing, but if the person concerned doesn't request the removal of their name, it will not be changed - the article will be reworded to be based solely on facts if possible, or removed if not.

:The question perhaps shouldn't be "why are real names included at all", but "why aren't real names included for everyone?". Ultimately, aritcles should be under the name which people would link to, and so that is the only name that '''has''' to be there. In the furry fandom, this is more often than not the person's fan name, if they have one. They may only use this name, or they may use their real name as well. If so, people may or may not decide to add it, but it's not considered critical if it's not usually used. Even if a person's real name ''is'' regularly used, in general we will on request remove a person's real name and replace it with their fan name/nickname when describing them, whether or not they are/have been members of the fandom. However, members of the fandom are a) more likely to request this, becuase more of them come here, b) are (slightly) more likely to have such a request accepted (because if non-members are listed here it is usually because they are either famous or infamous, not just because they're furry), and c) are more likely to have such nicknames to use in the first place (we can't exactly say "The comic Fuzzy Things, authored by {blank} . . .").

:I'm aware this answer was rather long and rambling, but that's because I'm tired, and it's a complicated issue when talking in general. If you have specific cases you want explained, feel free to point them out. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

::GreenReaper, in response to your reply, I have added comments to two talk sections, Sibe and Burned Fur, pointing out what I see as an unfair biasing. I'm interested in your reply on both.

::There's also one other possible point on Sibe that you might want to run by an attorney, since the status of Wiki's as "legitimate publications" is still in legal limbo: Sibe is legally a "private figure" and his actions in Furry do not make him, in the legal sense, a "public figure" (both of these are legal terms). As a private individual, he's afforded certain legal protections about what information can be revealed. These protections may or may not cover his criminal record or other information. I think it would be worth your time to consult with someone from the EFF and make sure you haven't crossed the line. While you say that you're just one editor, if no other person can over-rule your edits without your consent, it's your "publication". As such, even if Sibe were to decide to come after Wikifur ''et al'' for any damages the publication of protected information caused him (if any such protections exist at all), you'd still be on the line. Again, the law regarding this may or may not cover him.

:::I agree (unlike some) that Sibe is a private figure, and as such someone ''might'' be liable if we were negligent in publishing made-up facts, even if we did not act with the knowledge that they were false (or with reckless disregard as to whether or not they were false). For example, if we said that the Burned Furs burned people, that would be libel without good evidence. However, a glance at the talk page archives and article history should show you that we have been willing to work with concerned parties to ensure the accuracy of the article, and to obtain exact sources for assertions where appropriate. We have no interest in being negligent (and certainly not grossly negligent), because that makes for a poor article.

:::In contrast, the limitations on information that is actually ''true'' are really quite small, and in general don't apply to us as a private site. I'm not a lawyer, but this situation has come up before and so I've done some research. Criminal records are public information in the State of Washington (and generally speaking in other states). Most other privacy legislation is aimed at restricting what companies can tell third parties about their customers (who they have a contract with), and not about what individuals (who never agreed to any contract) may publish from their own knowledge. The [[Wikipedia:First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]] gives us rather sweeping powers in this area that allow us to publish just about anything as long as it is true, and in practice the "due process" terms of the [[Wikipedia:Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fourteenth Amendment]] extends this to the states as well. Credit card numbers, social security numbers and driver's license number would probably be stuff that should be removed. Other than that, it's pretty much fair game and up to the community to decide what it ''should'' publish, in a moral sense.

:::[[Wikia:Wikia, Inc.|Wikia]] is able to overrule my edits without my consent. If people feel I'm not doing a good enough job, or that WikiFur is infringing their rights, they should contact them. They have more experience than I do, and I am willing to defer to them. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:52, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

== Furry gaming project...? ==

Seeing as how Wikipedia has a project that concetrates on improving the quality and quantity of gaming articles, may I suggest implementing a similiar project? The amount of games with furry elements is not a small one, and it would be very helpful, if information about those games (most are old, PC DOS titles, which run perfectly under DosBox) was included in one place, for sake of completeness and subject coverage.

Especially games like [[Project Nomad]] could use that coverage, as they have literally truckloads of content, and it would be helpful to store it in one place, much like [[Albion (video game)|Albion]]'s articles are done.

Just a thought.

Oh, and what is the general stance about making articles about oneself? Mikael Grizzly 22:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

:Seems like a nice enough idea. We already have [[WikiFur:Project Fursuit Central|something similar]] for [[fursuit]]ing, although that's been slow recently. The trouble is there are few "meta"-editors at this time, and so you may find it hard to gather contributors to help you out. I would suggest that you concentrate on one or two particular projects at a time so that it doesn't bog down in needing to do 10 different things at once. :-)

Of course, it would have to fit the topic of the wiki, and be neutral in tone. If it was not neutral (whether or not you wrote it), you should probably avoid putting it in the main namespage - it should go a subpage of your User: space - e.g [[User:Foxpaws-zupe/Article name]] - and it should have a note up at the top similar to that of the [[:Template:personal-article|personal-article template]]. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I am not trying to be a pain in the rear here, but I wonder about the claim on the furcadia article that says that it has been around since 1996. I was following this stuff back in the late nineties and I was pretty surprised to hear that. Wolfhome was one of the first websites featuring multi-user chat and I don't remember furcadia.com being around. We were running a company by 2000. While I didn't do an exhaustive search, I am surprised that a furry chat site that would have been a direct competitor to Wolfhome escaped me. Wolfhome started on Gre7g Luterman's site, TempleOfLuna.com, back on October 31st, 1999.

The other thing that I discovered is that the whois record for Furcadia.com was created in 1999 (see below). Add to that a web search on the "Wayback Machine" http://web.archive.org, which tracks websites back to the mid nineties, which shows that in 1999, furcadia.com was a placeholder site:

None of that is meant to take away from the current success of furcadia, but I wonder what supports the claim that they were running a website back in 1996?

Here's the web archive for templeofluna.com:

BTW, thanks for providing this great site focusing on the Furry community!

[[User:Wunderwood|underdog]]

:Hi there, underdog! The claim is that they were running Furcadia (the client-based MMO experience) since 1996, not Furcadia.com (the website), and I think it is substantiated by [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.furry/browse_frm/thread/46c69d49b74b57d0 this thread] from May 1999 in which Dr. Cat states in passing that it "opened two and a half years ago". There is also [http://web.archive.org/web/19981205041337/www.realtime.net/furcadia/ this website (www.realtime.net/furcadia)] from December 1998, at which point they appear to already have had 400,000 visits.

:As for the website - you're welcome! I didn't exactly do it by myself, though - you can [http://wikia.com/wikistats/EN/TablesWikiaFURRY.htm#wikipedians thank the people here], along with the hundreds of other editors for filling it with content. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

== Ah, ok.. I read that wrong ==

Thanks for the clarification. I had interpreted that pretty narrowly before. {{Unsigned|Wunderwood}}

== Hiya there ==

yeah, I found that I had a page to edit and submit info to, and thanks for the help offer. Ill be editing when I can, and look forward to contributing here. :3 {{unsigned|Zippo}}

== Wikipedia's techniques on trolls ==

Wikipedia usually reverts banned troll's comments and semi-protects pages. It works better. [[User:Tretonin|Tretonin]] 10:51, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

:It works for their situation. We have to make our own decisions and see how they work out. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:43, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

== From Buska ==

Hi and thanks for the welcome! I tried creating my own page as well. I really need to study the Wiki format a bit more however ^^ {{unsigned|Buska}}

== RE:Page name correction ==

Hey GreenReaper, thanks for the move, I will try not to make mistakes like that in the future - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 00:26, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

:No worries. We make them too, sometimes. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 00:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey GreenReaper, I was wondering if you could perform another page name edit, could you add an "s" to my Remalon page turning it into "Remalons" (since there are five characters in that page), I would really appreciate it, thank you - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 18:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

== Extinctioners main page fixing ==

Hey GreenReaper, sorry to drop questions on a regular basis but I was wondering if you might know or see a way to modify or re-arrange the list of groups in the Extinctioner's main page, to some how make it appear more neat, thank you - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 18:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

== I have readed that you use Openbsd to host the wiki ==

Hello Greenreaper, thanks for your work on this Furry Wiki, I am trying to install mediawiki on openbsd, but can not login on mediawiki, can you help me? after i have logged in sucessfully, then i try to use the preferences page and it say that i am not logged in

thanks in advance. {{unsigned|Aureliof}}

:I'm afraid I don't really have any idea why that is not working for you, other than that possibly you do not have sessions or cookies setup properly in your browser or web server. I do not administrate the server side of WikiFur, and so I know little of the details of hosting it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 08:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

== DAMN YOU!!! ==

You ALLWAYS seem to be around to delete my...um...helpful changes no matter what time and what wiki I'm hitting :(

WHY?????????????????? {{unsigned|88.106.208.18}}

:Because I'm everywhere - I'm like the wind . . . --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

== That was odd ==

I see that earlier today you blocked User:216.224.121.151. It struck me as odd that there have also been a couple of good edits from the very similar address User:216.224.121.141 (knowing that sometimes a vandal who gets blocked will simply switch to a different workstation, which often has a very similar IP; this time, however, that did not appear to be the case).

Then I tried to make a couple of edits, while logged in, and was told that I couldn't because my IP address, 216.224.121.151, has been blocked. I found this really odd, since I was logged in, I have admin privs, and on top of it all, the IP address of the machine I connect from doesn't look anything like that (and just to be sure, I checked with http://www.whatismyip.com/ ). I retried a couple of times, and my edit finally took - not sure what changed, but there you go.

Then finally, I ran nslookup on 216.224.121.151, and it returned ut4.sjc.wikia-inc.com. I tried 216.224.121.141 and it returned cache1.sjc.wikia-inc.com. Curioser and curioser. Is there something funky going on at wikia.com that's causing incoming edits to look like they came from their server instead of the actual originating user or IP address? --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

:It does indeed seem odd. I've also recieved two separate messages about this from other users. Unblocked this for now. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

:: I got a response from John Q. over on the Wikia mailing list saying that this is fixed/will be fixed shortly. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 00:25, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

::: Hmm. Maybe not quite fixed yet, I had trouble getting that edit to go through... --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 00:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

== Thanks for the welcome ^^ ==

Hey, thanks for the welcome to WikiFur. This is my first time actually registering for a Wiki community, so it'll be a learning experience, but I'm looking forward to adding what I can, when I can. Oh, question -- how do I reply to things on my Talk page? {{unsigned|IanKeith}}

:Welcome to wiki, then, too. :-) You can reply to others in the way you did just now. You should generally sign your names when on talk pages, though, so that people know who left the message without going to the history. You can use <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> for this, or just <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> if you don't want the date. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

== NO CARRIER ==

Thanks for cleaning up after my messes. :) I'll get the wiki standards hammered through my thick skull eventually! 
-[[User:Furvert|Furv]]

== How to do bot vandal rollbacks ==

In cases of mass vandalism (page blanking and the like) it is acceptable to use the "bot" rollback method. To do this, go to the user's contribution page by clicking their name or IP address in the userlist, then add &bot=1 to the URL (or ?bot=1 if there is no ? already in the URL). Press enter to reload that URL, and then just open all the rollback links in new tabs. This will give the initial edit a "bot" flag, so that only your revert will be visible in [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]]. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
:Okay, I'll do it that way next time. By the way, when responding to a user talk comment like this, is there a way to have the thread automatically replicated in the other user's talk page? I've always done it by manually copying the response in both places. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 19:09, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
::Not that I know of. Would be nice! --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

'twas fun playing with you furries. --[[User:149.9.0.27|149.9.0.27]] 19:23, 27 October 2006 (UTC) =)

== Extinctioners Wikipedia page deletion threat again ==

Hey GreenReaper, Sorry to constantly bother you but I just saw on the talk page of the Wikipedia.org Extinctioners page that it will be coming under a deletion threat within several days claiming wikifur IS NOT a reliable source (yeah right), here is the link to the page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Extinctioners - I hope it will not be removed, I don't understand it, they have pages for other furry comics but they seem the think this one is not worthy but if you think its not worth fighting over, I will understand, thank you - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 13:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, WikiFur ''isn't'' a reliable source, at least not in Wikipedia's terms. Someone could come by and change anything at any time. Articles are not guaranteed to be peer-reviewed - indeed, there is no particularly certainty that information on WikiFur has been checked by anyone. Contributions are, in many cases, anonymous. If you want to have an article at Wikipedia, you need to give proper references to the primary sources (the comics themselves), or to secondary sources that have been published in some kind of guaranteed editorially-reviewed medium, like a comic review in a published [[fanzine]] (or better).

:Consider: You wrote most of the pages on WikiFur about the comic. Who's to say you weren't making up half of the stuff you wrote? You can see their situation - they can't just rely on your words for its accuracy. It is not that it is a furry comic. It is the entire article is your original creation, and you've not backed it up with links that show the source of the facts that you state. Go look at [[Wikipedia:Samuel Conway|this article]] for an example of what I mean. There are probably worse articles, but that does not excuse the one about ''Extinctioners''. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate what you have told me and I finally can see where wikipedia is coming from, I will leave this decision in the hands of those at Wikipedia (since I am unable to try and fight for it to remain again) and just continue with the one here, thanks for your help :-) - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 23:48, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== Redirecting articles? ==

I was poking around in the Templates section to see how I could re-direct a link that currently goes nowhere to an article that is relevant. I wanted to link "Ace of Spades" and "Morrigan's War" to the "Empires" article but could not see a way to do it..? Thank you. {{unsigned|Kette' Barona}}

:To do that, go to the pages [[Ace of Spades]] and [[Morrigan's War]] and put <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Empires]]</nowiki> in there. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:22, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

== FA and such ==

I just wanted to apologize, again-- though I guess to you directly-- for what I did the other day. I was responding more as damage control to prevent an explosion of drama rather than following the guidelines stipulated. This whole thing, though not directly affecting me, has seemed to've killed my patience and thinking. Thankfully it's cleared up now.

It won't happen again. [[User:Verix|Verix]] 17:57, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

:It's understandable. No worries. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 19:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

== Uploading avatar pic quesion ==

Hey GreenReaper, sorry to bug you but I have a question, there is a pic I would like to use as my avatar (or fursona if thats what its called), I have gotten the artists permission (no via e-mail), I was just wondering what porceedures I need to do before uploading such a pic, here are the links:
*Shadow-Wolf (artist) - http://shadow-wolf.deviantart.com/
*the picture I want to use - http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/8577254/?qo=165&q=by%3Ashadow-wolf&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps
*and finally the message giving me permission to use this pic - http://my.deviantart.com/notes/1/52363257

I just want to ensure I do not mess up on this matter, I would really appreciate your help with this

:I can't see that note, probably since they're private, but for that sort of thing we're fine with taking people's word for it unless the artist complains. Just make sure to mention the name of the artist in the picture description, and select "fursona" in the dropdown license box when you upload it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:13, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

:heres the note -

From: *shadow-wolf
Date: Nov 4, 2006, 12:17:03 PM
sure, go for it! Could you credit me in your journal or something, link back to the original picture? It'd be a great plug for me if you could. ^^ Thank you for having the courtasy to ask first

P.S. I'm the Extinctioners wikifur page creator

and finally (forgive my ignorence) what exactly is the drop box your refering to? - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 20:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

wait... I think I've found what your talking about - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 20:54, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

== Other-Language Wikis ==

We've talked before about a possible Swedish-language furry wiki. It is likely that I will find myself with a good chunk of free time (or at least that what free time I have won't be eaten up by pesky things like take-home schoolwork) in a month or so - would it still be of interest that I go ahead and request the wiki to be made? (Last we discussed it on LJ, I kind of got heaped with massive amounts of Stuff soon afterwards, unfortunately.) I could probably get [[Ricadonna]] to link it from the [[SveaFur]] homepage as well, so that there'd be at least a few contributors more or less guaranteed. --[[User:Quotingmungo|quoting_mungo]] 15:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
:Someone needs to learn to think before she talks. I also meant to ask if you have a preference for a Wikia-hosted wiki (would it help with organization, for instance?) or if it could be privately hosted for all you care? I know the host I plan on moving to makes it ridiculously simple to install a wiki, so if it's all the same to you that might be a better route, as that also eliminates the ads? I'm just disorganized today, sorry. --[[User:Quotingmungo|quoting_mungo]] 15:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
::I'd still be very interested in seeing more furry wikis in different languages. As the one who intends to do the work to found the wiki, it's up to you to decide where it should be. :-) I think Wikia is a good choice for those who don't want to be dealing with server-side issues or costs. If you believe that the technical ability to start and maintain the wiki software is available (whether you or they can provide it), and if you are sure that the hosting will be maintained, then there's no problem with hosting it anywhere. For various reasons, I felt it was suitable for the English language furry wiki to be here, but it doesn't mean others have to. We can link back and forth wherever you are. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 16:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
:::I talked to my boyfriend, whom I will be sharing the bandwidth with, and unless I magically get an insane permanent-ish workload, it sounds as though I'll privately host the wiki when we get set up at the new host. Would put it somewhere around early December, which suits me fine as that puts it past most of my current deadlines. --[[User:Quotingmungo|quoting_mungo]] 17:41, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Aaand, I'm slow at getting things done, as usual. I'm still working on this, and it should get somewhere relatively soon (or so I hope), so I just wanted to draw your attention to one [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Quotingmungo#Sverige_Furry little thing]. Whether or not you feel the Swedish wiki logo should have anything in common with WikiFur's (font and general text layout is what's in question here, I have an idea of what I want to do instead of the pawprint graphic) is totally up to you. --[[User:Quotingmungo|quoting_mungo]] 08:52, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
:I'm personally fine with furry wikis in other languages having similar logos to WikiFur, as long as they ''act'' essentially like WikiFur as well (that is, the purpose and general "spirit" of the site remains the same, though obviously the details of the policies would develop based on its own community). For example, I wouldn't want a German equivalent of [[Furry Horrors Wiki]] using it - that wouldn't fit in with the expectations that users have of the logo. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 09:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

== More All Fur Fun stuff! ==

Hi GreenReaper! All Fur Fun (the new furry convention) has a new website up and running. It's already linked, but I was hoping someone could edit the convention's entry to show that we're a bit more organized now, hehe! I'd do it myself, but I tend to do Very Wrong Things when I try to edit wiki pages, so I'd rather have someone with experience do it. ;D

Thanks in advance! :D

It was the least I could do to honor the memory of a fine person and a dedicated Furry (He was a Cheetah because he had freckles...lol).

I know all of you furries who knew him must miss him terribly.

I know I still find myself thinking of David from time to time and wish his life had not been taken away so violently and suddenly.

David's death was followed the week after by my Mother's death and the week after that my Grandma passed.

Three loved ones in three weeks.....you never know when they are gonna go...so make sure they know how much you love them...while they are here.

I am not a Furry, but, your members are really great people. Keep the fur flying!

== Nice job on the Did You Know section... ==

I just wanted to say, nice job on it. I never knew that CSI or any sutch show even '''knew''' about the fandom, let alone made episodes with dramatically skewed ideas.

==Greetings==
Hello, thanks for the welcome! I've removed some unnecessary personal info from a vandal's userpage, since no one here has checkuser it would be of no benefit to them. [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Jewbo_Wales&oldid=104070 Here] is the version with the IP info on it, in case you need to request a checkuser with the staff. ^_^ [[User:Redfur|Redfur]] 04:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I (<nowiki>http://encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Ket</nowiki>) didn't really consider it vandalism, so I removed that section. Hope that's fine-[[User:SkippFox|SkippFox]] 09:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

== Block of 71.98.64.0/18 ==

Are you sure about blocking that entire subnet? We've only had two vandlism incidents from there over the last 24 hours. I'm concerned that we might exclude potential contributors from that block. May I propose that we unblock that block and reblock only if we keep having incidents of vandalism from there? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 21:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

== Reversed clock time? ==

Note the [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=High_Tail_Hall&action=history edit history] for [[High Tail Hall]], specifically, my recent minor revisions. WTF. The "on second thought" revision should have been applied after the correction of possessive form. Repeating the edit seems to have been effective, but I'd rather not see that kind of glitch happening to anyone else. -- [[User:Siege|Siege]]([[User talk:Siege|talk]]) 10:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
:This is due to de-synched clocks on the various Wikia servers... if you look at the actual revision numbers, you'll see that 105229 is listed as occuring after 105230. This ''should'' only affect diff viewing and histories (but can be spotted by looking at the numbers). We are attempting to find the reason for the time desynchings, but this happens every once in a while. I've asked the techies to see if there is an easy way to fix these (it should be a simple as swapping the timestamps of any revisions that are not chronologically sequential, maybe). --[[w:User:Splarka|Splarka]] ([[w:User_talk:Splarka|talk]]) 10:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

== Request ==

Ok, the discussion seems to have died on the talk page, so I'll ask you personally: can you just delete the info on Aardvark, as he seems to have moved on to other wikis? He hasn't vandalized here in about two months, I don't see the purpose. I understand he tried to get it removed a while back, but was... none too friendly about it and vandalized pages. Well, while that's not the only reason I registered, it's part of it - to get rid of his personal info. I've removed it from the [[ED]] article already and several editors, including yourself, have had their attentions drawn to edits to that article, but no one has reverted. Does this mean you feel it's not necessary? Let's say he goes for the rest of 2006 without vandalizing WikiFur - would you consider deleting the vandal page for him then?

ALso, someone has brought up that I may be Blu Aardvark... I'm open to having a staff member checkuser me to prove I'm not. I've actually edited elsewhere under other accounts - I would assume that's allowed on Wikia for privacy reasons, but they can at least tell you I'm located far from Blu Aardvark and edit elsewhere constructively. [[User:Redfur|Redfur]] 13:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
*You there? WOuld this be better handled by email? Or are you unconcerned? I don't mean to pester, but it's been buggin me. [[User:Redfur|Redfur]] 01:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

::I'm here, but I have other things to deal with - work, sponsor relations and quick replies come ahead of replies to things I have to think about. :-)
::If you don't get reverted on the ED page, then chances are nobody cares. However, I see nothing on the vandalism record page concerned that needs to be removed. There is no mention of the user's real name, or his full address, so it should not come up on searches for that, but it is possible for our users to obtain it if the vandalism resumes. It '''will''' come up on searches for Blu Aardvark (not high, as few pages link to it), but that seems more than appropriate, since the edits were made in connection with that name.
::As he says himself, he's "opted for the benefits of accountability versus the benefits of anonymity." If he wants the benefits, he has to be willing to accept the costs as well. We're not about to give his life story (as ED would), but we will say what he did on our wiki, and point to other wikis where he did the same thing so people can see that, yes, there is a pattern here. Our objective is to stop him doing it again, or failing that, be able to respond in a meaningful way by contacting his internet service provider and asking them to enforce their terms of service against a specific customer. I don't see how hiding what he did will help that - I would view it as assurance that I could get away with anything if I waited a few months.
::What ''will'' happen is that time will pass and eventually people who do happen across it won't care about what wikis he vandalized 5 years ago. He could quite reasonably say on his own page, "Well, yes, this happened, but I've moved on." I don't think many people are going to believe that after 3 months, though. [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 15:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
:::I guess the info that remains isn't so bad. I've taken his real name out of the pages it links to, so if you insist, I'm only happy you replied. Thanks! [[User:Redfur|Redfur]] 06:39, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

== Thoughts on spam from webstores? ==

I've seen some links that state a specific item is "available at <insert webstore URL here>" where the website is an ordinary online store not involved with the creation of said item. When does this constitute unwanted spam? If the item can be Googled fairly easily, should we delete such link postings? Should we be supportive if the store is sufficiently furry or furry-friendly? -- [[User:Frizzy|Frizzy]] 01:25, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

:Well, this depends on the situation, but if the link does provide value to readers I wouldn't remove it. I may even have added it myself. There's a difference between "could be googled fairly easily" and "everyone will know where buy this item, and will do so without being prompted to do so," and it can often be the difference between a sale and a missed opportunity. I ''would'' probably consider putting a furry-friendly store above a generic link to Amazon.com, but I wouldn't remove a link to Amazon.com if it made it more likely that people would buy whatever it was. I see people buying more furry stuff as a '''good''' thing. *grin* [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

== removal of name ==

Sorry to bother you again, I made a request from you about a year ago pertaining to the removal of my name and desc from your wikifur site(this was done & I thank you for it). I've one further request which I hope is in your power to grant, which is: Could you please remove my name entirely from even pointing to that I was ever on this site? As it stands now when I do a search in google or Yahoo, it immediately pops up at the top of this list even though there is no actual description in the wiki, it still gives a desc of past avatars and the info that I no longer wished to be apart of the site. Thanks in advance
T*o*m N*a*r*e*y <--done to keep the name from cropping up once again :)

:I have removed your name from the disambiguation page that mentioned it - it should be OK as long as the fan names are only associated with each other and not yours. This was the one that Yahoo particularly liked. I cannot guarantee when they will update their cached version of the page - until they do, it will still show up under your name.

:I'm a little uncomfortable with removing our talk pages about the exclusion request, since they're essentially our public record of why it's excluded in the first page. It is true that admins can always look, but my view is that if you're hiding something, you should at least not be able to hide the request to hide something. If people care that much about your involvement in a fandom ten years ago, you have to wonder whether they're worth working for . . .

:Regardless, another administrator has decided to delete it (read: remove it from public view) for now. The short message stating that you requested removal needs to remain on the actual page, regardless of the fate of the actual request, as without that there is no basis for people to avoid writing about you here. The best way to ensure people don't even read that is to make a web page about yourself that is titled with and which mentions your name. That way '''it''' will end up as the main hit for your name, rather than WikiFur, as long as you link it in a few places. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

The problem is, is that there is no indication of when I was involved. It just says that I was. I've no idea why my name might be up there as I never really did anything in the fandom except create a few pieces of art and almost immediately deleted them within a few months of their creation. Like it or not, there is a dark stigma attached to that fandom by professionals in the game, vfx, sfx, comics, industries; of which I would liked to have had left behind. {{unsigned|128.195.85.174}}

:Well, nothing prevented the ''addition'' of a date. :-) I'm guessing a fan who liked your artwork on Yerf started the article about you (it was done by [[Special:Contributions/24.155.47.5|an anonymous user]]). As for the stigma - well, I guess I must be lucky, since I work for a company that's in games and they're not unaware of my fandom activities - heck, I have a picture up in my cubicle, and my boss will be dropping me off at the airport for FC this Thursday. Maybe the rules are different for programmers vs. artists, but I like to think times are changing, too. It gets harder to treat furry fandom as its [[stereotype]] when fans start buying out [[Wikipedia:David L. Lawrence Convention Center|convention centers]] for a weekend. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks for the welcome ==

Hey, GreenReaper. Thanks for welcoming me. As for your offer to help, I was wondering if you could give me an idea about what might get my [[Xerxes Qados|fursona's]] article to lose its cleanup tag. {{unsigned|XerxesQ}}

:Sure. Often, the user who put that tag on will have left a comment in the [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Xerxes_Qados&action=history history]. If it is not clear enough, or if there is no comment there, then you can ask them directly on their talk page. Making sure that an article sounds like an encyclopedia (e.g. avoids the use of an overly-informal tone) is generally a good idea, and the intent of many of the cleanup tags that are put on (we really need a few more specific tags than just cleanup). Of course, you don't have to agree with all of what they think is wrong about the article, and you can take the cleanup tag off once you think it's fine. They might then choose to do nothing, or edit it themselves, or give a more specific discussion on the talk page associated with the article. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

== Search ==

Just wondering - how do you control the appearance of the links on the left side of the screen, in particular the search box?

I'm asking not on account of anything to do with WikiFur, but because of a different wiki where I've started doing some edits. On that wiki there is only a search button, and below that you can select to search that wiki, or a Google web search. I would like to suggest to the admins of that wiki that they consider changing it to the Go and Search buttons like we have here on WikiFur. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 22:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

:I'm afraid the answer here is "I don't know". The search box was, I think, tweaked somewhat by [[wikia:Wikia, Inc.|Wikia]]. I would suggest asking some of their techs would be a reasonable next step. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

== The Lion King MUCK article ==

Excuse the rollback, but your edit to [[The Lion King MUCK]] doesn't seem to have been made to the most recent version of the article, and I think it'll be easier to re-do the tables then drift back through edit histories and get the rest of the article restored in bits. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 06:12, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for sorting my page out dude! I just got some questions: How do I do picture boxes and am I okay to put more up about the stories and stuff?

:You do picture boxes using the syntax in [[Help:Editing]] (for example: <code><nowiki>[[Image:Filename.png|right|thumb|200px|An image floating to the right of 200px width]]</nowiki></code> - but first, you need to [[Special:Upload|upload the image]]. Make sure that the uploaded filename is descriptive. As for your stories, you're welcome to add more information about them, as long as it remains a descriptive piece about the works. Such descriptions should probably remain on the page about you unless they cover a work that has been published in paper form and have a notability aside from yourself (this is a slightly fuzzy boundary, but the majority of short stories and unpublished works lie under it). Oh, and on talk pages, you can sign your conversations with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, and get something like this: --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:18, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

== Comics Template ==

Hey, Reaper sir. I have a proposition.

I don't know a great deal on the workings of WikiFur, but I am familiar with Wikipedia, and there's one thing I havn't seen here: templates. On Wikipedia, I think in particular of albums, they have -- ah, heck, I'm sure you know what I mean.

Infobox! That's the name.

Anyways... My point is that, and correct me if I'm wrong, they don't seem to exist here on wikifur, and assuming there isn't some technical reason for not having them, I think this place can greatly benefit from them. In particular, I'd like to see an infobox for all the comics we have, so that we can give them all a nice, unified look. It would make things look more professional, and it would help organize all the information easier.

I... think that wound up as more of a ramble than anything else, but yes, that's my idea.

[[User:Immelmann|Immelmann]] 02:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

: *sigh* Wanna know how awesome I am? Apparently there IS such a thing on wikifur. It's just that no one uses them.
Maybe I should propose a project or something to add the to all the comic pages... [[User:Immelmann|Immelmann]] 03:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

::Oh, we do use them,... We are starting to incorporate them to the appropriate entries, but it's a slow process. Your idea of additional infoboxes is quite fine, the problem is time, coding and incorporation (See: [[Forum:Infoboxes]].) [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

== Removing a NPOV ==

I am not sure if I have done enough research, so forgive me for missing a relevant FAQ, but I want to know how to remove a NPOV designation from the entry on Wolfhome. Is there a procedure for this? If it still seems to be a slanted viewpoint, what criteria is there for knowing when it has been successfully reworked?

On a separate note, I am curious how to sign a document that I've edited... Yeah, I know, I *really* gotta learn how to RTFM someday! :) My posts are showing up with "The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wunderwood"... Am I supposed to sign my comments?
:I'm sure GR will forgive me for responding on his talk page, but to sign your comments, just type <nowiki>-- ~~~~</nowiki> and it will autosign it.

Thanks, Kendricks. I will practice by signing this update. :) Anyone want to step up to the plate on the NPOV question?

:If you think it has been successfully neutralized, you are welcome to remove the template.

Hi GreenReaper, thanks for welcoming me to WikiFur! I've messaged you once before in the [[Funday_PawPet_Show|FPS]] IRC channel (under the name wolfi386). I have to say, once again, that WikiFur has been an excellent introduction to the furry fandom for me. Being so new to the fandom (my first exposure to fandom-produced furry artwork was roughly three years ago, but I only started exploring the fandom itself about two months ago), I probably won't be able to expand many articles at first, but I'll do my best at copy-editing and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Glossary#W|wikification]] in the meantime! :) --[[User:Chaos386|chaos386]]([[User talk:Chaos386|talk]]) 18:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

== Just another member saying thank you ==

Hi GreenReaper, I just also wanted to say thanks for the welcome and kind offer of help, I really appreciate the warm welcome. [[User:CrimsonDivine|Crimson Divine]]

== Archiving talk pages ==

How do I archive an over-full Talk page so that it has a "Talk archives" box like this page? [[User:Mitch|Mitch]] 20:53, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

:Have a look at [[User talk:GreenReaper/Header]]. You can copy the top to make your own - I use <nowiki>{{User talk:GreenReaper/Header}}</nowiki> to include it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

== thanks ==

Thanks for the welcome. There was one question I had, how to send messages; but as you can see I found it out for myself. ^_^ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Nido|Nido]] ([[User talk:Nido|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Nido|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

:Hehe, indeed! It's usually a good idea to sign messages on talk pages, too, so other people reading don't have to go back into the history to see who said what - you can do this by putting <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end (or just <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> for your name) - like this: --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

== Hello and thanks! ==

Hey GreenReaper! Thanks for your help and for cleaning up my page! You're kindness has not gone unnoticed!! >^.^< --[[User:Kitoichi|Kitoichi]] 03:37, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
:It was [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Kitoichi_Aoiro&action=history a team effort] - but, on behalf of the team, you're welcome! --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

== Anthrocon 2007 plannings ==

I've created a new page over at [[WikiFur:Conventions/Anthrocon/2007]] so that we can discuss what is planned for AC07 as far as wikifur related activities as we discussed on IRC. Please add whatever information or ideas you have concerning events and such. :) -- [[User:JSharp|JaeSharp]] 10:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Any chance you'd consider asking the whole Wikifur community to contribute more pictures for this category and Category:Fursuit? -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 18:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
