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. :( SilverserenC 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)

This is an apology to you, sorry for my rashness. Having a bit of hell but that's no excuse. Won’t happen again I hope, but always feel free to put me in my place. --Atrumnex101 17:06, 18 April 2011 (EDT)

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 (talkcontribs) .

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

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)

WikiFur Noticeboard

Hi. I just wanted to make sure you were aware that WikiFur:Noticeboard was recently opened. Your input on any open topics would be appreciated, and please feel free to open new topics as you see fit. --mwalimu 04:34, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

I'm glad i was able to help confirming the truth of the article on The Deadly Wolves. Though now that the edi war been taken care of. I'm going to need a bit of help with the article of his. Since i do have concern that this will most become an edit war whenever the confirmination of the truth comes out. (Hoping it doesn't get to that point.) --Tridragon 20:19, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Just let us know what you have to work with on the article's attached discussion page, and we can all pitch in. It's hardly the first time we've had to document contentious subjects. :-) --GreenReaper(talk) 20:21, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Well anyway i've finished with citing all of my refs about the subject. I've mentioned this on the subject talk page. Subject talk page Basically it's all in a notepad. Though is it alright to post all of what i found so it be easier to find what can be used for this article. --Tridragon 21:48, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Sure, I think that'd be OK - other editors can make use of it in the future. --GreenReaper(talk) 21:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Alright but where since there's a lot of stuff. Should i post it all on my talk page then?--Tridragon 22:26, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
You should post it on the talk pages for the relevant articles, because that's where other editors will look. --GreenReaper(talk) 23:52, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Alright then and i'm done with the first part. References of ban evasions I will be posting the other part in the Deadly Wolves Article Section since the next part is mostly related to that. --Tridragon 04:03, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Username change?

I don't have an LJ, so I figured this would be the place to ask for it. If it's not an inconvenience, going from "Twilight-wolf" to just "Twilight" would help lots. I've checked around the site, there doesn't seem to be a user with that name, if it's available, I'll take it. If not, I'll come up with something else.

Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Twilight-wolf (talkcontribs) .

Unfortunately the name Twilight was registered earlier this year. I would be glad to rename your account to something else, though. You already have both Twilight-Wolf and Twilight-wolf (different capitalizations) - it would be good if you logged into the former so that I can merge them before renaming. (The account was created on Wikia.com; if you have forgotten the password, you'll need to go there to reset it first.) --GreenReaper(talk) 03:34, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Furry Fashion

Wondering if This is appropriate for this site I run furry fashion the largest furry clothing and accessory store in second life, we are a furry community 3 sims wide, with over 4500 members, 70 furs employed, 4000 items for sale, a welcome centre to help new furs get started and explain what furs are, homes, a mall, events and other other furry things. I have been asked before if we have a page here but I wasn't sure if we was allowed to have one. I have noticed AX , another SL furry company does but wanted to be sure first before making one. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Amethysia (Amethyst Crystal in second life)

Hi Amethysia! You're welcome to start an article about your group (presumably at Furry Fashion). However, we do require that all articles be neutral - so try to stick to the facts. Basically, if it doesn't sound like it was written by you, that's probably a good start. If what you say is true, the facts should be impressive by themselves. --GreenReaper(talk) 11:03, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Could I be unblocked from your AIM list? When I talked to you at FC2011 you made it sound like you would once you were back home but so far I've not seen it, and even Ayukawataur hasn't relayed any messages saying if you would or not.

--Mozdoc

Just wanted another's opinion.

Hi, I am very new to this (is it a wiki?) wiki, and I was wondering if you could check out my user page and tell me if I fit into the Fandom. I am still learning new things every day, and I am young, but I believe I am a Furry. Since nobody's shoved a pen and paper in my hand and said "You're a Furry, please add your name to the list", I was wanting an opinion from someone more knowledgable on the subject than I, and I thought asking you would be a good idea. Plus, I noticed on your page that you developed an interest in this whole system too at a young age. If you will, please leave a reply on my talk page. I am user:Perservere. Thank you.

Furries are fans of anthropomorphic animals. It seems like you fit the definition. How you express that interest is up to you! --GreenReaper(talk) 16:54, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! I was actually nervous about being scrutinized about my age, my reasons, and such, but you didn't say a word about it. I am ecstatic that (ridiculous though it may sound) I am "classified" so to speak. Going off topic, (just wanted to say this) I find it hilarious that most people who make fun of Furries, 1. Often quote Encyclopedia Dramatica, 2. Most likely are/were fans of the Warner Bros (you know Tom and Jerry among others), and 3. Repeat the same insults over and over. Going back, I can't thank you enough for being so accepting of me. I have actually dealt with people who attacked me for my interests on the subject, but I'm just glad that I have finally gotten clarity on the question of "Am I? or am I not?". Thanks so much, Perservere 17:07, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Spam filter exception

I'm linking to my survey's results page, and want "<!--[http://bit.ly/UltFurSur2011stats -->Results" to "[http://bit.ly/UltFurSur2011stats Results]" on UFS2011 Supuhstar * § 15:39, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

That link doesn't seem to work, though. --GreenReaper(talk) 15:42, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, I meant /UFS2011stats Supuhstar * § 01:59, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Interesting how you put a message first!

I believe (even if in a small way) that the article is relevant. Examples being any sort of reptilian anthropomorph, as on your page "Scalies", and any possible others (not much of an argument, I know, but I'm determined). I have revised that article with more accurate information, examples, and links. I will also add a "Species List", of what furry creatures are considered cold-blooded. Keep in mind, I'm not looking to fight anyone, overeaction is all too common. I see your point of view, but we can't trade thoughts. Anyways, good luck, Perservere 19:05, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Do you see some relevance in the article now, sir? I certainly do. Perservere 20:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Two images

A little bit ago I was trying to handle a situation where a new user had uploaded an image with a "generic" filename, in this case Example.jpg, for which there was an existing file by the same name, and he apparently had simply replaced the existing image with the new one. What I would like to have done, but couldn't figure out how, was to "fork" both the new and old versions, i.e. to rename the image per the new version, then revert the redirect to point to the old one (which I was also going to rename to something more meaningful than Example.jpg). As far as I was able to determine, the only way to do this was to save one of the versions of the image and re-create it as a new image. Do you know of a better way to do this? Incidentally, it turned out the old version was being referenced by only one user page, and the overwritten version of the image was uploaded more recently and by a different user, and therefore was probably not the one intended by the userpage author, so it is now effectively a deleted image, though in actuality it still lives on in the version history of the renamed image. --mwalimu 16:52, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I do not believe there is a way to do image forking in MediaWiki. The best solution is probably to upload the new image to a separate page, revert the old image, delete the revision of the new image that is on the old image page and then move that to a better filename. --GreenReaper(talk) 16:57, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Please remove my name and email address from this article

Hi,

I would really appreciate it if you could remove my name and email address from this question I asked several years ago?

http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Forum:Furry_comics

It comes up when people search my name in search engines so i'd really appreciate it if those bits could be removed?

Thank you

P —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 78.147.58.35 (talkcontribs)

I've redacted the e-mail address from that article. Since you posted this request as an anonymous IP user, we can't tell what your name is and there are several mentioned in the article. You could just change the article yourself. --mwalimu 14:04, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


- Fab, thanks, have done.

Sorry for the reversion, I didn't see this discussion, and didn't know there was a legitimate request to remove that information (or that it was even the original user doing it). -- Natasha Softpaw ( talk | contribs ) 03:49, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Featured Article Frequency?

Hey GreenReaper :)

I'm curious how often the Featured Articles are updated? It seems like the current one on the Nephilim has been there for quite some time.

BlueOtter 16:58, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

The front page is setup to rotate them weekly, and a process for updating them is at WikiFur:Featured articles/Featured article candidates. However, no one editor has taken a lead in doing so, and so they remain un-updated (this has been a problem since 2007, as I've been increasingly involved with work and WikiFur News/Flayrah). A replacement involving dynamic selection of articles from a collection is on my list for after our server move, but if you're interested in helping out right now, it looks like Oklacon has support. There's no rule to say you can't promote one you nominated! --GreenReaper(talk) 17:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

King of the Internet

Furries make the internet go; Green Reaper makes the furrydom go; ergo, Green Reaper makes the internet go. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.169.167.47 (talkcontribs) .

No gods or kings; only norn. --GreenReaper(talk) 20:29, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Username Change

GreenReaper, is it possible for you to rename my username to BlueOtter, merging my user paging into the existing BlueOtter article? Thanks in advance! BlueOtter 22:36, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Done. --GreenReaper(talk) 22:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
You are ridiculously fast... and awesome. Thank you. :) BlueOtter 22:47, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
There seems to be some confusion, however. User pages are intended for information about the user on WikiFur. They are not intended to separate people from their characters. The main-space page is a third-person account intended to be edited by all, while the user page is typically written by the editor in first person, who may give background to their editing activities or provide details of a non-encyclopedic nature (e.g. contact info). Compare my user page and GreenReaper. --GreenReaper(talk) 22:48, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification. I believe I understand, but how do you suggest then separating real-life people who are referred to by their character names as a pseudonym (who only give such a name), but also have distinct eponymous characters? For instance, my year of birth or occupation don't have any baring on these attributes for my characters, and applying for instance, the Programming category to my real-person make sense, but not BlueOtter, the character and online persona. Would you suggest a disambiguation page in this case for person vs. character? I just want to make sure I do things right and consistent with the patterns you and others have established. :) BlueOtter 14:47, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Because most furs use their character names to represent themselves, articles under their names are assumed to be primarily about the person ("People" is invariably the first category). Their character is either treated as if it were "part of the person" and integrated throughout ("RandomFurry is a grey wolf and software developer who lives in Newark") or described in a separate "Character" section of the same article, depending on the attitude that the subject has to their primary character. In your case, a section might be most appropriate - you can restate any differing information such as age or personal characteristics in that area. The categories are combined at the end, unless the character has a different name. (In that case - often used by fursuiters - we normally make a separate section for the characters, then make the character name a redirect to that section and put the character-specific categories on the redirect page so that the character name shows up in those categories - e.g. YellowOtter == #REDIRECT [[RandomFurry#Character]][[Category:Otter characters]].) --GreenReaper(talk) 15:16, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Another approach to take if your life outside fandom is not a major factor in your activities is to treat the character as the primary topic and have a separate section labelled something like "Real life". The order of categories would remain the same, however. --GreenReaper(talk) 15:22, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

People who don't get it

Just had a look at recent edits and wow... Meepsheep appears to be racking up an impressive number of block evasions (assuming Meepsheep is the original account). Talk about failing to get the message. Would it be effective to block all logins from that IP? Or would that be against Wikifur's policies/ethos? Just wondering, because one could spend a lot of time just keeping track of this one clown. --GingerM (Leave me a message) 23:52, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I did, however many proxy addresses were used in an attempt to circumvent it. I have filed an abuse report with Comcast. --GreenReaper(talk) 23:53, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Too bad Comcast doesn't care about your insignificant wiki drama. --HiggoLippo 06:11, 12 April 2011 (CEST)

Impending Edit War

http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Fritter

The user Skittle has set out to edit the Fritter wikifur page in an effort to remove all information on Fritter's accused from, this information is widely publicly in countless media outless. Skittle's announced his full intention to edit the article to his needs and has no interest in discussion of the issue. Skittle claims that Fritter has requested the page be removed but has no evidence of this. With this intention for an edit war, reverting the article seems futile and I would like an administrator to step in and clarify the rules in this case of 'Publicly available private information' as it seems it would be the most expedient solution. AshleyAshes 00:50, 9 April 2011 (CEST)

For the record.

I removed the link to zidonuke.net (Which is hosted on Zidonuke's home connection) because I felt that given the history of the owner of that domain, that linking to it has an increased potential unduely expose unsuspecting Wikifur users to hazards such as malware etc. I see you re-added that link and hope you reconsider doing so.

Vandal Ban Appeal

Please ban User:Loxx and delete the pages they made, as they are mindless vandalism. Equivamp 17:40, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

Problem with deletion

Hi, GreenReaper

I'm having a problem deleting the items on the F section of (http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Category:Candidates_for_deletion). Any suggestions, please? - Spirou 02:30, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

Could you be more specific? The one which is there now should be there because Template:Inappropriate is on it. There was another which had the category tag in the text; I changed it in a link to the category. --GreenReaper(talk) 22:06, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

Referencing

Hello, GreenReaper, since you have not responded to my email, I am assuming that either it did not go through, or you did not notice it. However, you can disregard it now, as I am going to ask here: How do I add references to articles? Particularly, references to websites? --Equivamp 19:30, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

I responded on the 19th to your email account on file, from the Hotmail address starting with my nickname. Perhaps you should check your bulk mail?
Here is the relevant section of my reply:
Basically:
* put '<ref>....whatever...</ref>' on the line that contains the information 
backed up by the reference (typically after punctuation like full stops or 
possibly commas)
* put '<references />' (or something like {{reflist|2}} ) where you want the 
references to appear
* If you have something that is the reference for multiple things in 
different areas of the article, use '<ref name="abc">...</ref>' the first

I have my reasons

There are limits to what should and shouldn't be publicly displayed. I'm sure you understand that. By allowing my birth date, my state and city of residence, my full name, and links to profiles that are otherwise irrelevant to cited information, puts my real life in jeopardy. All it takes is one person to say "I'm gonna be the internet white knight" and start doing background checks, or attempt identity theft, to make my already turbulent life to take that much more of a turn for the worst. If it makes it any better, I'll personally write the entry as it should be, and as it should be less threatening to my wellbeing. If anything were to happen to me, I would be certain to connect this website directly with the leaking of my personal information. Now, that isn't a threat but merely what would happen if my real life personal information remains so publicly displaced as it was here. Possibly if you could just delete the entry all together, I will leave in peace and never return lest I need to defend myself again, as I'm sure you understand.- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rainbowcandy (talkcontribs) .

Since you deleted the advertisement page...

Since you deleted the spam page about car insurance, could you also block User:Carinsurancequotes? Their name implies they're just here to spam the site with that, so... Equivamp 14:54, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

Hi, Ginger Vixen here.

I must request, please, due to family issues, that you delete my WikiFur page. Many thanks. Ging 12:34, 26 May 2011 (EDT)

Flags

Hi there !

I've just been updating the ConFuzzled 2011 entry, adding in the attendee list by country. Although I've entered what I believe are the correct ISO codes, several countries all seem to have the same flag symbol - specifically Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Switzerland, Estonia, Croatia, Hungary and Lithuania..... am I using the right ISO code set, or is there a bug ? Cheers. Bezel 15:15, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

A flag sprite contains the images specified in MediaWiki:Common.css. If the codes concerned are not in that list, they will not work. Apparently it needs to be updated. --GreenReaper(talk) 15:22, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

I totally just realized...

That little sprite thing that appears when you hover your mouse over an "edit section" button...that's a norn, isn't it? Equivamp 01:07, 28 May 2011 (EDT)

Yep! They followed me here from the Creatures Wiki. --GreenReaper(talk) 01:08, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
I figured as much. I wish I were awesome enough to play that game. Equivamp 01:10, 28 May 2011 (EDT)

Image censorship vs. click-to-show

Please do. It's one thing to read about such when it's encyclopedic material--it's another entirely to see it plastered onto pages. If I came here for porn, I'd search, well, anything on FurAffinity. Equivamp 17:35, 28 May 2011 (EDT)

Re:Features

I know, I was just teasin' ya. Equivamp 09:53, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

Account Control

Thanks. I'll catch it all eventually. I'll be sure to do that when I get to the computer I make most of my edits on. He shouldn't be making anymore edits from this account, I've made sure of that. Equivamp 16:57, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

Furry Feet & Naylon

That is all. Equivamp 15:45, 3 June 2011 (EDT)

Holy Crap

New Featured article! 40x40pxEquivamp 20:59, 12 June 2011 (EDT)

Article History

Is there any way you could delete the history of Equivamp without deleting the article itself? And this includes edit summaries. Personal information that has since been removed from the article doesn't need to be discovered, but I have reason to believe someone will attempt to "drop dox" on me very, very, soon, and that's something I could do without. 40x40pxEquivamp 19:30, 15 June 2011 (EDT)

Can you give the date of the last revision that you are concerned with? Your recent edits do not appear to involve such information. --GreenReaper(talk) 19:34, 15 June 2011 (EDT)
The first few edits contain my legal name. That's what I'm concerned about. 40x40pxEquivamp 19:41, 15 June 2011 (EDT)
I think we should be good now. --GreenReaper(talk) 19:45, 15 June 2011 (EDT)
Thanks a ton. 40x40pxEquivamp 19:49, 15 June 2011 (EDT)

Blocking Meepsheep

Wait, so I'm not welcome here? Meepsheep wasn't making negative edits, as far as I saw. We're welcome there, as long as we're good; aren't we supposed to assume good faith? 40x40pxEquivamp 10:22, 19 June 2011 (EDT)

This is hilarious on so many levels. —Xydexx 15:38, 19 June 2011 (EDT)
Meepsheep has been responsible for significant disruption of this wiki in the past few months, as he has at Wikipedia and several other wikis. Massive, continued proxy abuse, front page and template vandalism, you name it. I have reported this abuse to his ISP on more than one occasion. He is not welcome here, period. --GreenReaper(talk) 15:48, 19 June 2011 (EDT)
To answer your more general question: contributors to WikiFur are expected to remain neutral, and actions which call this neutrality into question are problematic. We cannot assume you are editing an article about a person in good faith if you are also making fun of them over at ED (or elsewhere). I have blocked at least one editor for this precise activity in the past. You really need to make a choice – do you want to be known as a person who fairly and dispassionately reports on the fandom and those within in, or one who publicly documents the weaknesses and failings of fellow fans for your own amusement? --GreenReaper(talk) 17:00, 19 June 2011 (EDT)
It is hilarious that Greenreaper now considers disrupting and vandalizing WikiFur unacceptable, when previously he's done anything and everything possible to defend such behavior in the name of assuming good faith. Folks must wonder how WikiFur got this bad. —Xydexx 19:14, 19 June 2011 (EDT)
