Hello BlueOtter, 
I'm a little curious why you removed the <nowiki>[[Category:1982 births]]</nowiki> from [[Kithylin]]. Categories are there to reflect the article text, and a birth year of 1982 is given there. I'm also curious about your comment ''removed date of birth category --- no citation for that anyway'', when there '''is''' a citation (number 4) given in the article.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 10:20, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

:My apologies, Higgs! My statement about a lack of citation was incorrect, but my edit also could have been much better described. It was in response to a [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Kithylin&diff=372537&oldid=372520 mostly page-blank edit] to an otherwise [[Kithylin|good article]]. The reason given by the anonymous user was "Edited by Kithylin - Contained personal information that I do not want listed on this website.". Because the article contains good information, particularly about a founding member of a convention, making it historically important, I [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/User_talk:72.190.98.65 requested to the user] that he follow the [[WikiFur:Policy|policy]] for making a formal exclusion request, providing identification. In an effort to prevent this page from being completely blanked with the <nowiki>{{Protected-Excluded}}</nowiki> template, I simply removed the only "personal" information I noticed on the article, the indication of real-life birth year, and noted that in my response to the user in the invitation to make a formal request. I also noted in my response that things like external links shouldn't be removed as they could be easily found and added again.

== Motivations behind all the Stubs on AU furries. ==

Hiya Higgs Raccoon, a few of the local furries I know have recently discovered the Stub pages on them that you created, which has caused a small discussion on twitter to occur.

I'm kinda curious at ''why'' you do this, and ''where'' you initially gather the names of the furries that have made articles about.

I personally don't mind the page you created on me, but some are of the opinion that it perhaps would be nice if you asked peeps first for permission to post such things (even if they may be easily googled and such).

Anyway, I'm sorry if this isn't the most appropriate forum to ask you this, but it seems to be the most logical, since you're the initial creator of all of these stubs! Thanks --[[User:KaiAdin|KaiAdin]] 07:10, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

:Let's see... Why do I create stub articles? A variety of reasons, I guess. Being a scientist, recording and cataloguing things goes with the territory. Also, I think the fandom as a whole is ''worth'' recording. And not just all the well-known artists, fursuiters, convention organisers, etc. I think more everyday furries should be included, too, so that WikiFur records a more complete cross-section of the fandom. As to why I create stubs on the AU furries, that's because I'm an Ozfurry myself (though I don't get to be there that often anymore.)
:As to where I gather the names... all sorts of places. LiveJournal, Fur Affinity (with its [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ozfurs ready-made list of Ozfurs]), Twitter (yes, WikiFur knows [https://twitter.com/KaiAdin/status/250185725281193984 when you're talking about us]), the Fursuit Database, WikiFur itself (lots of red links to google)... pretty much anywhere furries gather online.
:Because the information included in articles is gleaned from public profiles that appear in the simplest google searchs (I, for one, don't bother ''digging'' for information), WikiFur doesn't have any policy regarding asking permission first. Feel free to open a discussion about it on [[WikiFur_talk:Policies_and_guidelines|the Policies and Guidelines page]], if you like. Of course, anyone who ''has'' an article here and wants its removed is welcome to request [[WikiFur:Personal_exclusion|personal exclusion]].--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:27, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

:: Hehe, Yea I figured you'd find the mentions on twitter. As I said I'm not personally opposed to it, I was just curious myself as to why! Thanks again for clearing that up :3 -- [[User:KaiAdin|KaiAdin]] 21:03, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

== ToonPimp ==

Thank you for cleaning up the ToonPimp page. I hadn't been cognizant of all the steps needed in order to retain the edit history, and I probably would have gotten it wrong if I'd tried to do it myself. [[User:APDamien|APDamien]] 16:47, 28 September 2012 (EDT)

== Hetsu Procyon==

er hello, I wanted to know why my article is back- I've requested it to be deleted several times, and each time it's been taken down for a short period of time, only to reappear again.
I want it gone because it violates my privacy, I don't understand why it keeps getting put back there.
Thanks.{{unsigned|213.120.40.126}}

:Sorry about that. There was nothing that linked your new name to your old one, so I created a new article without realising you'd already been catalogued previously. The [[Hetsu Procyon]] article has now been deleted and replaced with a redirect to the earlier article (which is still excluded, as per your wishes).--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 15:09, 30 September 2012 (EDT)

:If you are [[Maldavius Figtree]] and would like to request [[WikiFur:Personal_exclusion|personal exclusion]], it would help if you could leave a note in your Fur Affinity profile saying "Delete me" (or similar).

:Hello, xJayne. Are you sure you want the article about you removed? Vandalism can always be reverted, and you can always put the article on your Watch list so you will be alerted every time an edit is made to it. If you're sure, though, then there won't be a problem in removing and locking the article.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 00:48, 13 December 2012 (EST)

Heya, thanks for helping me setup a WikiFur page for myself early September. I've now decided against having one, is there any way I can get it removed? Would be useful for some help on this one, I can't seem to find out where to remove it. Thanks [[User:Toasted|Toasted]] 16:52, 22 January 2013 (EST)

== FurFright dates ==

I put the FurFright dates back that you had removed. You can see them [http://furfright.org/2013/ here] and they appear in advertisements in many furry convention books including FurFright 2012, FC 2013, and I believe MFF 2012. I have a PDF of the ad as well which I would be happy to share. I'd appreciate it if you would ask first or let me know that you were reverting my change instead of doing so without telling me. Thanks. [[User:Skippyfox|skippyfox]] 12:53, 28 January 2013 (EST)

== Motivations behind all the Stubs on AU furries. ==

Hiya Higgs Raccoon, a few of the local furries I know have recently discovered the Stub pages on them that you created, which has caused a small discussion on twitter to occur.

I'm kinda curious at ''why'' you do this, and ''where'' you initially gather the names of the furries that have made articles about.

I personally don't mind the page you created on me, but some are of the opinion that it perhaps would be nice if you asked peeps first for permission to post such things (even if they may be easily googled and such).

Anyway, I'm sorry if this isn't the most appropriate forum to ask you this, but it seems to be the most logical, since you're the initial creator of all of these stubs! Thanks --[[User:KaiAdin|KaiAdin]] 07:10, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

:Let's see... Why do I create stub articles? A variety of reasons, I guess. Being a scientist, recording and cataloguing things goes with the territory. Also, I think the fandom as a whole is ''worth'' recording. And not just all the well-known artists, fursuiters, convention organisers, etc. I think more everyday furries should be included, too, so that WikiFur records a more complete cross-section of the fandom. As to why I create stubs on the AU furries, that's because I'm an Ozfurry myself (though I don't get to be there that often anymore.)
:As to where I gather the names... all sorts of places. LiveJournal, Fur Affinity (with its [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ozfurs ready-made list of Ozfurs]), Twitter (yes, WikiFur knows [https://twitter.com/KaiAdin/status/250185725281193984 when you're talking about us]), the Fursuit Database, WikiFur itself (lots of red links to google)... pretty much anywhere furries gather online.
:Because the information included in articles is gleaned from public profiles that appear in the simplest google searchs (I, for one, don't bother ''digging'' for information), WikiFur doesn't have any policy regarding asking permission first. Feel free to open a discussion about it on [[WikiFur_talk:Policies_and_guidelines|the Policies and Guidelines page]], if you like. Of course, anyone who ''has'' an article here and wants its removed is welcome to request [[WikiFur:Personal_exclusion|personal exclusion]].--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:27, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

Hello BlueOtter, 
I'm a little curious why you removed the <nowiki>[[Category:1982 births]]</nowiki> from [[Kithylin]]. Categories are there to reflect the article text, and a birth year of 1982 is given there. I'm also curious about your comment ''removed date of birth category --- no citation for that anyway'', when there '''is''' a citation (number 4) given in the article.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 10:20, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

:My apologies, Higgs! My statement about a lack of citation was incorrect, but my edit also could have been much better described. It was in response to a [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Kithylin&diff=372537&oldid=372520 mostly page-blank edit] to an otherwise [[Kithylin|good article]]. The reason given by the anonymous user was "Edited by Kithylin - Contained personal information that I do not want listed on this website.". Because the article contains good information, particularly about a founding member of a convention, making it historically important, I [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/User_talk:72.190.98.65 requested to the user] that he follow the [[WikiFur:Policy|policy]] for making a formal exclusion request, providing identification. In an effort to prevent this page from being completely blanked with the <nowiki>{{Protected-Excluded}}</nowiki> template, I simply removed the only "personal" information I noticed on the article, the indication of real-life birth year, and noted that in my response to the user in the invitation to make a formal request. I also noted in my response that things like external links shouldn't be removed as they could be easily found and added again.

I'm only reverting my page back to how I put it so I can use Spirou's changes as a baseline for the next version, as some things he's added are those that are dead/inactive like my DeviartArt page. At least give me a proper chance to redo it all without it being changed again.

==Categories==
Hello BlueOtter, 
I'm a little curious why you removed the <nowiki>[[Category:1982 births]]</nowiki> from [[Kithylin]]. Categories are there to reflect the article text, and a birth year of 1982 is given there. I'm also curious about your comment ''removed date of birth category --- no citation for that anyway'', when there '''is''' a citation (number 4) given in the article.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 10:20, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

:My apologies, Higgs! My statement about a lack of citation was incorrect, but my edit also could have been much better described. It was in response to a [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Kithylin&diff=372537&oldid=372520 mostly page-blank edit] to an otherwise [[Kithylin|good article]]. The reason given by the anonymous user was "Edited by Kithylin - Contained personal information that I do not want listed on this website.". Because the article contains good information, particularly about a founding member of a convention, making it historically important, I [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/User_talk:72.190.98.65 requested to the user] that he follow the [[WikiFur:Policy|policy]] for making a formal exclusion request, providing identification. In an effort to prevent this page from being completely blanked with the <nowiki>{{Protected-Excluded}}</nowiki> template, I simply removed the only "personal" information I noticed on the article, the indication of real-life birth year, and noted that in my response to the user in the invitation to make a formal request. I also noted in my response that things like external links shouldn't be removed as they could be easily found and added again. I'm sorry my summary was unclear - it was misinformed as to the reference and lacked clarity as to why an otherwise correct piece of information was removed. --[[User:BlueOtter|BlueOtter]] 10:45, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

:If you wish to revert to having an article about you on WikiFur, you are welcome to request to have [[BillyTheCat128]] unlocked and restored. You could then edit that article, or move it across to [[CrescoTheEko]] if you prefer. You should note, however, that exclusive editing rights will not be granted. Although this was once a possibility, long ago, admins frown upon it now since i) it goes against the idea of a wiki where all may edit, and ii) it invariably resulted in an abandoned, unmaintained article.

:So you choices are to remain excluded, or unlock your old article for all to edit.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 15:27, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

In that case I wish to unlock my old article and I guess I should just keep a close eye on inaccuracies.{{unsigned|BillyTheCat128}}

== Motivations behind all the Stubs on AU furries. ==

Hiya Higgs Raccoon, a few of the local furries I know have recently discovered the Stub pages on them that you created, which has caused a small discussion on twitter to occur.

I'm kinda curious at ''why'' you do this, and ''where'' you initially gather the names of the furries that have made articles about.

I personally don't mind the page you created on me, but some are of the opinion that it perhaps would be nice if you asked peeps first for permission to post such things (even if they may be easily googled and such).

Anyway, I'm sorry if this isn't the most appropriate forum to ask you this, but it seems to be the most logical, since you're the initial creator of all of these stubs! Thanks --[[User:KaiAdin|KaiAdin]] 07:10, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

:Let's see... Why do I create stub articles? A variety of reasons, I guess. Being a scientist, recording and cataloguing things goes with the territory. Also, I think the fandom as a whole is ''worth'' recording. And not just all the well-known artists, fursuiters, convention organisers, etc. I think more everyday furries should be included, too, so that WikiFur records a more complete cross-section of the fandom. As to why I create stubs on the AU furries, that's because I'm an Ozfurry myself (though I don't get to be there that often anymore.)
:As to where I gather the names... all sorts of places. LiveJournal, Fur Affinity (with its [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ozfurs ready-made list of Ozfurs]), Twitter (yes, WikiFur knows [https://twitter.com/KaiAdin/status/250185725281193984 when you're talking about us]), the Fursuit Database, WikiFur itself (lots of red links to google)... pretty much anywhere furries gather online.
:Because the information included in articles is gleaned from public profiles that appear in the simplest google searchs (I, for one, don't bother ''digging'' for information), WikiFur doesn't have any policy regarding asking permission first. Feel free to open a discussion about it on [[WikiFur_talk:Policies_and_guidelines|the Policies and Guidelines page]], if you like. Of course, anyone who ''has'' an article here and wants its removed is welcome to request [[WikiFur:Personal_exclusion|personal exclusion]].--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:27, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

:: Hehe, Yea I figured you'd find the mentions on twitter. As I said I'm not personally opposed to it, I was just curious myself as to why! Thanks again for clearing that up :3 -- [[User:KaiAdin|KaiAdin]] 21:03, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

== ToonPimp ==

Thank you for cleaning up the ToonPimp page. I hadn't been cognizant of all the steps needed in order to retain the edit history, and I probably would have gotten it wrong if I'd tried to do it myself. [[User:APDamien|APDamien]] 16:47, 28 September 2012 (EDT)

== Hetsu Procyon==

er hello, I wanted to know why my article is back- I've requested it to be deleted several times, and each time it's been taken down for a short period of time, only to reappear again.
I want it gone because it violates my privacy, I don't understand why it keeps getting put back there.
Thanks.{{unsigned|213.120.40.126}}

:Sorry about that. There was nothing that linked your new name to your old one, so I created a new article without realising you'd already been catalogued previously. The [[Hetsu Procyon]] article has now been deleted and replaced with a redirect to the earlier article (which is still excluded, as per your wishes).--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 15:09, 30 September 2012 (EDT)

:Hello, xJayne. Are you sure you want the article about you removed?

I put the FurFright dates back that you had removed. You can see them [http://furfright.org/2013/ here] and they appear in advertisements in many furry convention books including FurFright 2012, FC 2013, and I believe MFF 2012. I have a PDF of the ad as well which I would be happy to share. I'd appreciate it if you would ask first or let me know that you were reverting my change instead of doing so without telling me.

Originally 9-lives was planned to be a "One off" comic strip however due to the large feedback and positivity that came from the page Kia made a few extra pages and created chapter 1 from this.
