Apologies

With college starting up within the next few weeks, i've been neglecting my duties to the DYK section. I've already missed an update and I apologize for that. Unfortunately, until i'm able to figure out how my computer situation will work out at college and what my schedule will be in general, i'm going to be kind of busy. So I might not be around for a month or two and won't be able to keep up with my duties. :( Silverseren^C 00:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey, it's no problem. I've been incredibly busy at work this whole month myself. Whenever you can give your time, it is appreciated - but don't kill yourself over not being able to. :-) --GreenReaper^(talk) 01:01, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Please delete my article.

Hey there. I was wondering if you could delete the page http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Fidge for me. I've lost interest in keeping up with wikipedia and stuff and I would like my own page removed. Thanks alot. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fidge (talk • contribs) .

It's not your page, it's our page about you - even if you started it. However, we do have an exclusion policy, which I have applied to that page. Please contact myself or another administrator if you would like to revert this exclusion. --GreenReaper^(talk) 18:12, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism targeted at Anthrochat-related articles

Seems that some members from Anthrochat have taken to vandalising particular articles. I've reverted Anthrochat and Furrycoffeeshop a few times already today. Is it possible to get those pages protected somehow? Thanks. :) CodeCat 19:39, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

We do not normally protect pages unless vandalism becomes unmanageable, or a "time-out" is needed between editors. However, the two anonymous users concerned have been blocked for inserting inaccurate information before, and they have now been blocked for a longer period for the same reason. --GreenReaper^(talk) 19:48, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Allright, seems fair, thanks. I'm just not sure it will help much, because I know the people behind those IPs. They'll probably just come back in 2 weeks and do it again... :/ CodeCat 20:21, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Deleted Images

I can understand the copyright violation, but 'there is agreement that the work was used'? Unless I am understanding you wrong, there was no agreement - you stated that yourself. If I were to upload these again under a different usage, would they be removed again?

Rinduri 00:12, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Nobody disagrees that Tuqiri used Vailwolf's work in the art show - just whether or not it was "fair use" to do so. Therefore, there is little justification for using copyrighted works to show this, especially against the wishes of both copyright holders.

As I understand it, you were already advised by Vailwolf that she did not wish you to redistribute her work. I think you should strongly reconsider your reasons and legal grounds for doing so regardless. --GreenReaper^(talk) 00:42, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Change picture? ;-)

A pal of mine, Aatheus, showed me a picture of me and a fellow CATS cosplayer that is on the various Wikis in the Furry sections. Fantastic to be seen, but oh gosh, can we somehow find a more.. er... flattering image? I can't say that makeup was one of my best now is the wig any good. Can you please contact me so that I can provide a better picture that is by far more suitable? Please note me here on Wikifur or email me.

This is the one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GR_FC2007_furry_cats_costumers.jpg

Best purrs,

Blanking

Hi there! Please don't remove all content from pages, as you did with Inuki. Such changes will be reverted, especially when no reason is given. --GreenReaper^(talk) 04:27, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

That's what she gets for degrading me

"Like most Thieves, she claims to ask before applying her edits, however this is in fact a lie. Even if it were true she posts her edited pictures in sites that do now allow such works and considers them traced or stolen, hence her label in the fandom as an Art Thief"

She added that to my page without my permission -Twilightwolf4:

I'm not sure you have the right person. Inuki is from Germany; the edits in question came from an IP address that traces to New York. Regardless, such edits just waste our time, not the subject's. Please refrain from them in the future. --GreenReaper^(talk) 04:35, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Is there a way to prevent editing of a userpage?

Administrators can do lots of things - though page protection is usually a last resort. If there's clearly an ongoing problem, other will step in. Note that you have the ability to watch pages, and to be emailed when an edit is made to them.

Bear in mind that like most public wikis, WikiFur is open to all editors. While user pages will generally be left to the user concerned, if the information on them appears particularly one-sided, others may be inclined to edit them. Content that appears to be a description of a subject may also be moved to the main namespace and edited further, as user pages are not intended to replace or duplicate articles (compare GreenReaper and User:GreenReaper). --GreenReaper^(talk) 05:00, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Either way, I'd rather not have my page altered Especially not with lies made by anti-furs

Well, and here's where it gets tricky - when it comes to a wiki, it's not "your page". It's "our page about you". The User: page is intended to provide information relating to your contributions to WikiFur - not as a venue for presenting your own opinion of yourself without fear of rebuttal; nor for criticizing others, especially when it comes to off-wiki matters. That stuff belongs on your homepage, and we're not a hosting site. If you want a page which only you can edit, you should probably look elsewhere. --GreenReaper^(talk) 05:27, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Is deleting possible? Although 'they' would make a new page about me anyway, ah well, life goes on, popularity has ups and downs, plus, not a lot of people know about my page...

there's no need to reply back to this

Wiki tagline

Just a quick note, because I've noticed it before but not gotten around to asking you about it... Is it possible to get the tagline to WikiLurv changed on the int'l portal for grammar reasons? "Den lurviga encyklopedin", would probably be the best translation of WikiFur's "the furry encyclopedia". Either that or "Den svenska furryencyklopedin" ("The swedish furry encyclopedia" - the former implies that the wiki itself is covered in fur, the latter that it's a furry-related encyclopedia; I'm not sure which WikiFur's tagline is supposed to imply); I'm not married to either translation, just want the grammar straightened out. At your convenience, of course. --quoting_mungo 13:50, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Sure. I've tweaked this now; you may have to force a refresh to see it. I guess the meaning I intended is really more the latter, but I used the former because it's shorter and doesn't specify the language, which would obliviate the point of a universal tagline (assuming that "Den furryencyklopedin" is also grammatically incorrect). --GreenReaper^(talk) 13:59, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Cheers! --quoting_mungo 15:29, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
