Pawstop.png Regarding article exclusion (removal) from Wikifur[edit]

  • Please consult the Wikifur's page about "article exclusion" first.
  • The request must be made by the article's user, with some exceptions (next of kin, lawyer/barrister, etc...).
  • The exclusion will delete the ability for others to edit it any further, plus a protection layer is added by Wikifur's curators so is no longer searchable on such sites such as Google.
  • NOTE: Removal of personal information is normally not the same as exclusion, and it can be done without needing curator assistance.
  • The request can be made in a myriad of ways (Email, Zoom/Skype, Twitter, Facebook, IRC, Fur Affinity's DM/Discord, etc...).

If you are trying to contact me specifically about an exclusion, please send me a DM via Twitter at "Spirou on Wikifur".

Nyinxie[edit]

The WikiFur page Nyinxie has been deleted on 22 September 2021 by Spirou, see https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Nyinxie.

Editor's summary: Not ready for prime time article. What does this mean? i don't understand - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nyinxie (talk • contribs) .

Hallo. As it was (a couple of links and request to expand the stub), the article was not ready for inclusion yet (see a full article like Splash Fusky as an example). If you still working on it, is best to build it on your user page, then copy/paste as an article when is ready to be published.
I moved the available data to Nyinxie's talk page. Direct users there to help you out fleshing it out. Hope it is clear, Cheers - Spirou (talk) 19:23, 22 September 2021 (EDT)
Ooooh! Oh ok! I get it now! Thanks a lot for the example also. Cheers. Alrighty I'll give it a wipe over. Cheers m8. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nyinxie (talk • contribs) .
No problem, any time.😊 - Spirou (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2021 (EST)

Faux-Pa[edit]

I would like to have my page, located at Faux-Pa, removed from WikiFur by Personal exclusion. I have attempted to contact GreenReaper via Email 2 weeks ago, but have yet to receive a response.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nikolai-The-Wolfdog (talk • contribs) .

No problem, just fire me a Twitter DM at @SpirouWikifur, or I can can review the Controversy section (issues seem to have been worked out between both parties internally, so is no longer an standing problem, and is not something that affects the fandom in general, so it can be edited out as of now). Either way, please take your time. Hope this helps. - Spirou (talk) 14:48, 28 September 2021 (EDT)

Vandalism at Christian Fur[edit]

Hey an IP is vandalizing Christian Fur.CycoMa (talk) 16:19, 4 November 2021 (EDT)

Thanks. User banned, article protected (one week, excessive vandalism). - Spirou (talk) 00:38, 5 November 2021 (EDT)

T.E.C. page deleted[edit]

Hello! I updated my page a few minutes ago for my Convention, and I come back a couple minutes later to add more to it, and you have deleted it for being unfinished? Why have you? And is there a way to restore it please? - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2001:569:fcba:a600:f423:6c0f:9c20:fd9 (talk • contribs) .

Wrong convention article scheduled to be deleted. Restored and partial edit. - Spirou (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2021 (EST)
Ty, I was worried I did something wrong. I will continue editing and finish up the page in a couple hors here.

Request: New Turkish Subdomain for WikiFur[edit]

Hi;

I've already posted this request in GreenReaper's talk page and emailed him but I haven't received any feedback, yet. I apologize if I'm acting impatient.

Could you create a Turkish subdomain in WikiFur so we can contribute it by our native tongue ?

Thanks. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DarkBloodKing (talk • contribs) .

Hallo. GreenReaper is the best person to perform this task, I can email your request to him, shouldn't take long. Cheers - Spirou (talk) 19:58, 17 November 2021 (EST)

Request: Page Deletion[edit]

Hi

Can you please delete this wiki that was made for me years ago: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Wildcat_Lolita

I'm no-longer in the fandom and wish to have my page, all my information and edits completely removed.

If you need conformation of identity, please contact me at neko.go.neko@gmail.com

Thanks

Request: Page deletion[edit]

Hi could i possibly have my user page (https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Eddy_Dobhran) removed? I am no longer comfortable with this information being here.

Thanks, Eddy

Hallo Eddie; please send me an Twitter DM for verification (@SpirouWikifur), and I will take it from there, cheers. - Spirou (talk) 01:30, 5 January 2022 (EST)

Request: Source citations[edit]

Heyo Spirou, thanks for all your patience and help with my page so far.

I have some sources you can use for my WikiFur page, which I've put in the Talk page of my article.

I don't know how to add citations but if you can add an example I can just copy and paste stuff myself, which is entirely how I wrote the original article.

Here's a link to my blog where I reference my immigration, which you can add as a citation for my immigration under "early life" and change "at the age of 16" to "under the age of 18".

Thanks for everything,

Etrius WhiteTigerOfTheWest

Issues with citation templates[edit]

Hey Spirou, I'm curious as to your comment on this revision where you mention that the reference templates I've been working on lately were "bombing" Safari. I also use Safari as my main browser and haven't encountered issues. Are you able to provide more info on what's causing problems, or what affect it seems to be having? Thanks! — beeps (talk, contribs) 12:31, 23 February 2022 (EST)

Saving on preview causes the page to lock, and eventually crash. Does not happen on (Apple-approved) Chrome or Edge (could be a Safari extension issue, maybe Grammarly). first page with this type of reference edit use instead of the ones we have been using since day one, is there a reason for using this type now?. If this is GreenReaper approved, no prob, but syntax that may cause a possible crash could be an issue (if extension related, could be a pain if I have to switch them off to just edit an article) - Spirou (talk) 14:51, 23 February 2022 (EST)
My assumption would be that it would be extension related if it's not happening in other browsers. Nothing too weird in the syntax either, it's pretty much the same as what Wikipedia were using before they transitioned all their major templates over to Lua (which WikiFur doesn't support).
I started updating and using citation templates (most already existed, just hadn't been used or updated for several years) to try and bring some consistency to citations. I personally find it easier to assemble them if there's a template with specific parameters and formats to use, and it of course removes some human error from the equation. Most other wiki projects I contribute to also use such templates, so WikiFur either lacking equivalents, or those equivalents being so massively out of step, was pretty jarring for me. They're not something I'm pushing to be a standard on WikiFur, but they're a tool I personally find useful. — beeps (talk, contribs) 15:15, 23 February 2022 (EST)

IP[edit]

Hello. Do you have permissions to hide my IP on this diff? I didn't see I was logged out. On another note, I'm working on fixing the issues you pointed out. I'm a Wikipedia editor so I know wiki formatting for example, but I'm still getting used to some of the different policies here. Yiff (talk) 12:04, 7 March 2022 (EST)

Please contact GreenReaper to hide the IP, I'm not cleared for that. - Spirou (talk) 01:05, 10 March 2022 (EST)

Quick Thanks[edit]

Thanks for cleaning up my page and getting rid of the dude putting stuff on my page about farts XD. I made some more revisions to my page if you wanna take a look but just wanted to thank a homie for looking out <3 -Dex

No problem, anytime. Be aware that you need to upload an image via Wikifur's upload file page to have it available in the article, cheers. - Spirou (talk) 21:28, 15 April 2022 (EDT)
Yea I tried but it says I don't have perms yet so I took them down. Gonna add some for all my characters. Thanks for the formatting too btw!

Block[edit]

Good evening,

I created the account GrantGraywolf about 7 hours ago. I can see why you blocked me, since I didn’t contribute anything and made no edits to my user page. My email address and IP are both blocked as well, so I’m sending this from my phone.

My intent was to edit the page for Longhorn Furs and create an article for its successor org, Longhorn Furries. I’m smack in the middle of finals season so I didn’t get to this right away. I’ve also read through WikiFur:About and understand wiki policy.

I would like to kindly request my block be lifted. If you need any sort of verification, I can happily send it. If the ban is permanent, I’ll also understand.

I apologize if I’ve made any mistakes, and I wish you well.

Thank you, Grant 2600:100C:B05D:C4E1:FCED:E3D6:A1BA:9B2C 01:38, 2 May 2022 (EDT)

The block is removed. You just got caught on a false positive spammer name run. It happens, apologies. - Spirou (talk) 03:10, 2 May 2022 (EDT)
No worries, thank you very much! GrantGraywolf (talk) 12:35, 2 May 2022 (EDT)

Edits[edit]

Hello!

I recently added some characters from SpongeBob to the Fish page as anthro characters. I was wondering why my edits were gone, then I saw the comment to go with it. This is my first time editing mind you but here are some links to the wikis where I found what their names are: https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Incidental_40 https://spongebob-new-fanon.fandom.com/wiki/Nat_Peterson https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Sandals

If they aren't major enough characters to add, I understand that though. Cheers!

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Feesh (talk • contribs) .

Except for Mrs. Puff on Sponge Bob Squarepants, we don't include incidental characters as it would quickly overtake the article. If we did so, the article would be just Shark Tale and the Nemo franchises' incidentals. - Spirou (talk) 21:17, 22 May 2022 (EDT)

File:Pawstop.png[edit]

Hello would u plz do me a favor and have a look at the deleted revisions of Pawstop.png, deleted last year despite that many pages still link to it. :^) Hipcrime (talk) 01:07, 9 June 2022 (EDT)

Okay, seems that the restore worked for both the dark and white versions, I need to ask GreenReaper if it's possible to overwrite, or outright delete the vandal version. - Spirou (talk) 02:03, 9 June 2022 (EDT)

Requesting removal of information.[edit]

Hi, got your message, I'd like to get some pages and reference to my name removed from here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 108.17.80.175 (talk • contribs) .

Hmm, what article/user are you referring to? (need a link, please). - Spirou (talk) 23:30, 11 June 2022 (EDT)
https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Sylus_Foxdragon This, and anything that links to, and from it. Please. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 108.17.80.175 (talk • contribs) .
Requests for personal exclusion are fine but need verification by an account known to belong to the subject (and have limits, they're meant to protect real-life information about a person, that would go on the page about them not e.g. what creative works they made or were in). Perhaps you two can get in contact over on DA to confirm this, since the FA account appears to be inaccessible? --GreenReaper(talk) 23:53, 11 June 2022 (EDT)
I am the individual who owns the DA/FA accounts. I closed the FA account in particular. I can open it, temporarily, and contact through it for verification if need be? - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 108.17.80.175 (talk • contribs) .

Hello,

I am requesting that the article Naia Okami be excluded. (verify request) Thank you --Naiaokami (talk) 17:17, 25 June 2022 (EDT)

Request for Exclusion[edit]

Hello. I'm requesting that my article Eurodex be excluded. I no longer wish for it to remain on here for personal reasons.

I believe I already moved my original username "Eurodex" to "NuclearVacuum" years ago (back in 2008 it seems). If you still need more confirmation that it's me, please let me know.

I'd also like to request the removal of the following files:

These were personally done by me and I'd like for them to be removed as my article will become excluded.

Please and thank you. --NuclearVacuum (talk) 20:44, 14 August 2022 (EDT)

Images have been deleted. Please DM me at Twitter at @SpirouWikifur next to confirm the final step. Personal Exclusion will take place afterward. - Spirou (talk) 21:16, 14 August 2022 (EDT)

How do I upload an image?[edit]

I would like to put one on my user page. Unlike Uncyclopedia the upload button seems to be missing. Is it restricted to mods only?—Crocotta1 (talk) 10:19, 21 August 2022 (EDT)

Hallo, were you able to perform the upload, or do you need further help?. - Spirou (talk) 02:18, 24 August 2022 (EDT)

Thanks for your moderation work[edit]

I kind of feel bad a lot of what you're having to do has to do with reverting vandalism edits and blocking the vandals who do so. But thanks for what you do. Scarbo (talk) 18:30, 10 September 2022 (EDT)

Dankeshen, no problems. - Spirou (talk) 00:49, 23 September 2022 (EDT)

Wolfie Kif[edit]

Where can I find the original text? I don't want to write it a third time. I looked to see if I could hire myself as the director of my own event (Staf). However, you have already deleted it twice. There is no more information on several other staff. I would finally solve it so that the event does not have a dead link, but they keep deleting it.

Why is it good that instead of my name, Stafs now reads: —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.6.73.162 (talk • contribs) .

The paragraph is located on the initial creator's user page. I will put in your user page too. - Spirou (talk) 00:49, 23 September 2022 (EDT)

Targeting[edit]

I'm starting to feel like you're targeting me and my page, I don't care that you think certain things don't belong the way you seem to think they do, but I'm getting sick and tired of your elitist edits on my page. I'll kindly ask you to leave me and my page alone.

  • Sigh* First, it’s not YOUR article, it is an article about YOU in Wikifur. Second, me, you, others, anybody can edit your article so it becomes what the article should be and work with the rest of thousands of user articles on this wiki, third, I’m not targeting you, so kindly do not THREAT anybody who gives its/their time on this wiki. I edited out your article because I’m working on other Wikifur articles offline, keeping an eye on vandals on the recent pages, and removing spam, so I had spare minutes to help you with the article about you. And fourth, if you are losing iit because another editor is working on your article, you will not make in the real world. Really do please use basic common decency while dealing with people. - Spirou (talk) 03:42, 24 September 2022 (EDT)

Request: Page Deletion[edit]

(confirmation) Hey Spirou, could you please remove/exclude: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/FlakyRock
not comfortable with it being up / it includes personal information that I shouldn't have put in there
also apologies for trying to remove it forcefully, should've assumed there was an actual process

Thanks, F

Thanks for the confirmation, it is helpful. I will go ahead and exclude/protect the article. Also, just FYI, you have the option of just removing all personal info instead (with a note to other editors not to reinstate it), but that will be up to you if you wish to do so in the future. Thanks and cheers. - Spirou (talk) 07:44, 24 September 2022 (EDT)

Request: Page Deletion[edit]

Request Page Removal: Dart[edit]

I am requesting page removal on my page Dart which was created without my knowledge and permission by someone I have blocked on social media in the past for harassment named Buuha.

I am not comfortable with my commissioned artwork being used or any information of any kind being posted on this or any site as I see it as a violation of personal space. In Buuha's case they used a piece off of my FA and linked my FA here without asking permission as well as harassed rooommates of mine who were mentioned on said page before editing. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dartwuffy (talk • contribs) .

(*Facepalm*). Oookay, using another account to circumvent the ban you should be in? (...disregard this time only once). Alright, again, as stated elsewhere, your "work" was not destroyed, it is still on your account's talk page (here).
You created a "Create-n-Forget" (more than 24/48 hours with no further edits after the first creation time) article for Hiena Frappe, which you then left bareboned and incomplete. In the past, these types of articles were actually deleted, but now, if there is a minimum of data now, they are moved to the original creator's Talk Page (in your case, again, here), which it gives the original editor time to flesh out the article until is ready to post on the main page.
That said, if I can understand your above response, I hope this is for another (human) user, which is fine. But if it is for your fursona only, nope. Unless the fursona is notable, fursona articles must remain inside a user's main article (your article). - Spirou (talk) 10:06, 28 December 2022 (EST)

Request for Spider-Ham page update[edit]

Back in 2022 last year, I added other forms of media Spider-Ham has appeared in. But even though it is said that Sub-Marsupial is an opossum, it is unknown what kind this character is so I added that this character is possibly one.

Clarify policy about infoboxes[edit]

Hello Spirou, recently you reverted an edit of mine where I added Template:Infobox person to an article, with the following reason given: -Peson infobox. Imfoboxes are used on special article only (notability, death, others), sry. I am confused about this, since the person whom the article is about is deceased and should therefore qualify. I am also confused about where this policy is found as I have not encountered it before. I have reviewed WikiFur:Policies and guidelines and I do not see any restrictions on where person infoboxes (which in my opinion, are simply a formatting tool) can be used. Can you please clarify where this policy is listed? I also request that you edit the Usage section of Template:Infobox person to include the policy there so that future editors can be aware of it. Thank you

--TerrorBite (talk) 18:40, 27 January 2023 (EST)

The policy is known among curators and long-time editors, as to why it has not been added to the "WikiFur:Policies and guidelines", is a matter of time and effort, as in it is another thing among hundreds of edits to be taken care off. - Spirou (talk) 10:48, 4 February 2023 (EST)

Please delete my wikifur page[edit]

I requested it deleted around 2018 sometime, right after I made it. https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Rainy

Stop blocking T-Mobile IP addresses.[edit]

I don't expect you to understand the technical intricacies here, but the large majority of people who are blocked/banned are using mobile devices to make edits. This makes it difficult for anyone using T-Mobile Home Internet, such as myself, to actually use the website. Mobile IP addresses are random. Due to the nature of how cellular access (?) works, it is technologically impossible to assign a static IP address to anyone using a mobile device like a phone or tablet. Even some mobile workstations (laptops) have WWAN cards that also include cellular data connections. I had to *manually* change my IP address 10+ times to get one that wasn't blocked, which involves waiting 5 minutes for my router to restart. Mobile phones make ban evasion incredibly easy. Stop blocking IPs and just force some pages (like mine) so that only registered users can edit them. I am a fearless, loud, vocal, offensive asshole with fearless, loud, vocal, offensive opinions and that upsets a lot of people, hence the repeated vandalisms on my page. Many imageboard websites running booru forks do this as well, making it impossible to upload or comment. I understand that this is technically frustrating for everyone involved, but websites like this need better (aka modern) ways to identify and quickly deal with abuse. Gone are the days of static IPs being assigned to home internet. Even normal ISPs like Comcast and Verizon are starting to randomize IP addresses for user privacy. If you want to discuss an actual solution to the problem, you or someone who works on site backend can contact me at my registered email address.- WhiteTigerOfTheWest

Deleting User:Shub-Yoggoth[edit]

This is Shub-Yoggoth. I have lost my password and access to the account's e-mail. Please advise if there is an alternative way in verifying that I am the original user in question. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shubby (talk • contribs) .

Hallo, Curator GreenReaper would be the person with the "know-how" to handle this particular issue, this is above my pay raise currently. Be aware that GreenReaper operates on Greenwich Time. Sorry for not being able to help with this particular matter. - Spirou (talk) 05:21, 20 March 2023 (EDT)
All good and thanks for the heads up. I'll contact him ASAP. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shubby (talk • contribs) .

Vandal articles[edit]

There are three articles that all seem to be a variation of the Kirru. All three have the same information and should be deleted. There are Kirrus, Kirridae and Kirrini. Tai 1 (talk) 19:29, 30 March 2023 (EDT)

Thank a lot for the heads up. The user behind these edits has made a few odd changes to several articles, on a temp ban right now. - Spirou (talk) 19:46, 30 March 2023 (EDT)


Sparky the Dalmatian[edit]

The page redirects to Sparky the Fire Dog, but this page doesn't exist. Can this be fixed?

About my page[edit]

I am a furry artist and specialise in Menophilia, Urophilia, and crossdressing art, just check my Furaffinity, I have come across others who have made nsfw involving menstruation fetish. Yes it is a thing, and yes it’s both furry and non-furry, you can also find things on pornhub and e621 involving menstruation fetish. I am nốt trying to vandalise, but provide info on this topic.—Lunarmoon21 (talk) 22:21, 3 April 2023 (EDT)

It may be a thing, but is not furry common enough to start its own article; We don't want to start creating an article for every paraphilia there is in the world because some furries may be into a specific one, unless notable enough within the fandom, even if is connected to mainstream culture (i.e. vore, transformation, macro, etc). - Spirou (talk) 22:47, 3 April 2023 (EDT)

Article Deletion Request[edit]

Hi, please delete my wiki page https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Dusk-Runner . I have moved on from this handle and my work is no longer online. I would like my own old (and rather terrible) article removed. I've just sent a DM on twitter

Felidae fix[edit]

Can you fix Tom Cat on the Felidae article? I wanted it back the way it is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2601:18d:4700:7640:682a:4fa8:2030:b408 (talk • contribs) .

Request: Link exception[edit]

I'm requesting an exception for external website Linktr(.)ee on the AnthroIrish page. Anthro Irish Linktree hub currently serves as the official website for the convention; the con chair advises they don't intend to get another at this time.

Shetani (talk) 12:55, 22 May 2023 (EDT)

Added Linktr.ee to the whitelist, give it a try, plz - Spirou (talk) 14:18, 22 May 2023 (EDT)
All set, thank you. Shetani (talk) 14:21, 24 May 2023 (EDT)

Furvect[edit]

On the Furvect page, can you remove Wolphin from no longer hosted websites? - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2601:18d:4700:7640:5cb3:1aa3:54d9:f7e5 (talk • contribs) .

Wolphin.furvect.com is still active on the hosting site as of June 4, 2023. - Spirou (talk) 03:40, 4 June 2023 (EDT)

Herp[edit]

I tried to fix the page. Is there another way? - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2601:18d:4700:7640:5cb3:1aa3:54d9:f7e5 (talk • contribs) .

Another way of doing what, exactly?. - Spirou (talk) 03:40, 4 June 2023 (EDT)

Thank you very much Spirou[edit]

Hi again Spirou, how are you? Let me honestly say with oodles of life-saved gratitude with recent update, thank you. Also finding I wasn't alone, that others here have been having similar troubling issues on Wikifur (need not hear from me going forward), I'm very grateful this thus saves my reputation, thanks to your helpful co-operation, ridding a back-breaking heavy load, better freeing me, I still can't thank you enough and take care.

Sincerely, Jamie Malecki.

Good furry forums[edit]

Hi Spirou, I am new to the fandom and have been surfing around wikifur for a few days seeing what’s what before registering an account. Unfortunately I don’t see a page for asking questions or what might be similar to the teahouse over at Wikipedia, so I’m sorry to bother you by asking here: Do you know of some good fandom forums you might recommend for someone new like me to look into? Thanks! Bumbletea (talk) 22:44, 16 June 2023 (EDT)

Hey, are you going to answer me? Bumbletea (talk) 22:57, 18 June 2023 (EDT)
Sry, I'm a professional helping with Wikifur as a volunteer (curator), so I'm a tad constricted with time. I'm working on a character turnaround while working on a revision to a Wikifur article right now, but...
For furry social sites, try the Fur Affinity Forums and seek "furry forums/furry social sites" on their search engines. A Twitter search will give you more pointers using the same search parameters, but the largest concentration of social furs would be in Discord and Telegram (wouldn't recommend IRC), then Twitter (until it collapses), Mastodon, and a few of the Furry social apps. Hope this helps. - Spirou (talk) 23:12, 18 June 2023 (EDT)

Vandalisms[edit]

Neither yourself neither any other FA staff have contacted me regarding the TMO IP issue.

In addition, someone made a fake steam account using my name and edited my wiki page to redirect to it. It's been fixed, but you need to set my page to only be editable by registered users. While it's far from the most vandalized page on this site, it's still frequent enough where I feel additional protections are necessary. - WhiteTigerOfTheWest

The article is not being bombarded with vandalism, and it's being taken care of by one/two people, so is really under control. Autoconfirmed/Curator's only editing privilege is normally only set for temporary protective measures (with a couple of extraordinary exceptions), so that is not an option at this moment. You have been keeping it vandalism free, so at this time, there is no reason to up the protection (knock on wood). - Spirou (talk) 03:14, 26 June 2023 (EDT)

Article Removal[edit]

Requesting personal exclusion for the Naore Kitsurube article (as I have on the forum already which seems to have been ignored, and attempted to blank the article myself). It is negatively impacting employment prospects and I am furious this is so difficult, and that my personal information was added without my consent, essentially doxxing me. In addition, Twitter should not be the only venue of direct communication, particularly in its current state. This is horrifying. I require full and complete exclusion from this Wiki immediately.-AbrahmEden

Okay, please send me a DM via Twitter at "Spirou on Wikifur", will start exclusion after that (must have a connection to the Naore handle/name, plz). - Spirou (talk) 02:01, 3 July 2023 (EDT)
Okay, the article was deleted/expunged, plus search protection was applied, will also leave a note on your Twitter, hope this helps. Cheers. - Spirou (talk) 02:27, 3 July 2023 (EDT)

Sunday's Playzone[edit]

In this page, I made a little mistake, The artist's fursona is a dog.

Phipaw[edit]

Is it really a zoophile symbol? I’ve heard the opposite, am I really misusing the symbol? holy shit! Srs —Lunarmoon21 (talk) 10:31, 4 September 2023 (EDT)

Fesothe Page vanity edits/reverts by subject[edit]

https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Talk:Fesothe

Fesothe: anonymous user is trying to publish a fake narrative story posted to reddit on Hobby Drama in an attempt to defame and claim reddit coins they are using my page to get it indexed they have used a fake named account on reddit to do so and it has been reported to the mods on the sub reddit and I have provided them with further info and contact details. You are being brought into it as a way to ensure the fake edit stays by this or many users, The reddit comment or post references two separate instances, a tweet towards Dril, and a comment that was showed on TV both were added on the page but this is a separate section being added to try to link both into a fake narrative. This person is trying to link them into a narrative so they can profit from reddit coins and defame me on my page. I have reverted the first edit they or those involved made regarding the slur after an admin had done so I believe yourself as it was pro abuse. The reddit post contains unfounded accusations and fake stories to cause offence and outrage.
Subject doesn't understand that a wiki is not a self-promotion page. He can not get info removed from other sites or Twitter or TV, so is doing a revert war to make it his self-promotion page.

Tyla Cooke[edit]

I noticed that the page I added is Tyla Cookie instead of Cooke, so can you fix it?

WORK SABBATICAL[edit]

Currently on a really busy professional work sabbatical, will respond to the posts here later, and apart of spam or vandalism reverts/bans, I will be out of commision regarding Wikifur editing for a while. There are other curators that can help in th emean time - Spirou (talk) 20:00, 7 September 2023 (EDT)

Page Removal Request[edit]

Hello,

I am CEO of PhoxWorx Ltd. Co. the Intellectual Property owner of WereScape. I have noticed a couple of inaccuracies posted by other users as well as a false claim to ownership by Vtwolf82. We are now policing the article monitoring it's edit but would prefer for the entire article to be removed from WikiFur.

https://werescape.online/wikifur.html I have prepared a statement to that degree on the projects website to help with the verification process. You can click the link at the bottom page of the website to get back to PhoxWorx main website to further establish ownership.

If you or someone else could remove WereScape that would be greatly appreciated. If it weren't for the fact that ANYONE including anonymous website visitors to WikiFur can edit the page then we would have considered not making such a request, but this along with the fact anyone can view history of the article seeing the incorrect information is the reasoning behind this request since the only way to make sure the accuracy of the information is to just remove it entirely. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Phoxman1982 (talk • contribs) .

Actually not dismissing your post, but I am on work sabbatical until pro work is finished, only responding to software alerts for spamming or vandalism incidents (blanking/deletion of articles being one). Custodian/curator GreenReaper would be the person most qualified to resolve this issue at this current time. Unbelievably busy yours, Spirou (talk) 18:50, 11 September 2023 (EDT)

I have made the request to GreenReaper and will refrain from reverting your edit until I hear back from them. If the result is not to our liking we will continue to police changes and will continue to refrain from removing the entire article, I think at this point our message has been received.

We decided ultimately to rebrand the service, it also no longer has a furry first approach and the website has also been removed. The article WereScape now only exists to take up resources, so you can ignore the above request at this point.

Future Referenced Blanking | Sub-Section Removal[edit]

Referring to wiki article: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/2016/2017_child_abuse_arrests

Taken what you've said into consideration, once new evidence is provided in repatriable sources. I shall attempt to inform you of any such changes.

For example if one of the accused was cleared of all charges or if new evidence appears regarding the individuals involved in said article I shall let you know.

Due to being in a stormy state, power-cuts and internet issues are quite frequent and I sadly have almost zero time online due to such issues.
