Regarding article Personal Exclusion (article removal) from Wikifur

• 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, Bluesky, X's DM, Fur Affinity's DM, etc...).

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

Personal exclusion

Hello, I sent you a dm via twitter about a page removal, if you could get back to me on that I would really appreciate it, thank you (I hope this is the right way of submitting this) - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rahh00ouu (talk • contribs) .

Alright, sorry about the delay (RL work), let me work on that personal exclusion (shouldn't take that long), brb. - Spirou (talk) 22:05, 5 November 2023 (EST)

...Aaand done. Article content was deleted, plus protection was applied to it so it cannot be Google searched/nor can it be recreated by anybody back into the wiki.

If you need anything else in the future, don't hesitate to contact me. Take care and Cheers!. - Spirou (talk) 22:09, 5 November 2023 (EST)

Cassidy Civet

Hi there,

I'm just wondering, what exactly was wrong with the edits on the Cassidy Civet page? The page currently functions as the subject's personal blog (which is not how Wiki articles are supposed to read). I spent quite a bit of time reformatting the page to remove unnecessary fluff while rebuilding the convention attendance list, and including additional and new research. Why exactly were the changes reverted? --50.125.93.8 21:05, 26 November 2023 (EST)

Hallo.

"The page currently functions as the subject's personal blog", hmm, you haven't seen some of the more... larger articles on this wiki (they make this article look like a one-paragraph blurb), your POV phrasing indicates you are coming in gunning for this user in the first instance, and letting people update their own article is not (once, once, once again) against Wiki's policies (including Wikifur, so...

Yes, there is a lot of work to be done with this article, a lot of fluff and redundancy to be taken care of, but there is some valid info there (so obliterating the whole Convention attendance section almost out without trying to salvage anything was not your best edit). Feuds are normally personal, and unless they affect the fandom as a whole, or they are very uncouth, they don't belong in a Controversy section. In your edit, you did not check grammar, double links, redundancy, fix the ext. links, or other needed really, really needed "copy editing".

We need editors, but not the type we have to babysit after each edit (it is tiresome). Hope you understand - Spirou (talk) 21:48, 26 November 2023 (EST)

Hi there! I’m terribly sorry about the confusion here. Responding to the comment you left on my page: I did not intend to employ any subterfuge. I took the message about copyediting to be about the way the article was written. I will admit I have never seen an article as long as Cassidy's on this website. However, are the other ones also containing a lot of superfluous details that don't add to the article? Ones I've noticed in Cassidy's are things such as talking about things she didn’t do, mentioning her visiting friends after a con, or unusual sections about how certain cons were failures for her. What my edit intended to do was capture the important details out of those roughly fifty paragraphs by including them in the fandom involvement section, preserve which cons in particular she had performed at via a brand new convention attendance list, and expand on other sections. If I was gunning for her, I would not have gone to the effort of making that brand new list with those details in it. If there’s anything you feel I should have left in my edit from the current version, that could be put in the fandom involvement section, I’d be happy to revise it and fix it; it took me quite a long time to make the edits that I did, so I wouldn't want it to all be for nothing.

I'm also sorry I didn't fix that other stuff; I had already been working on fixing the article up for several hours and wanted to take a break. I suppose I shouldn't have removed the copywriting blurb, so my apologies.

(Also, for clarity's sake, these edits were done anonymously to avoid possible retaliation from the subject, as they have a long history of feuding with individuals, and it is evident how important this page is to them with how much they edit it. I'm sorry for not being more forthright in my identity; I have had an account on here for many years, for the record. If you're willing to work this out more closely to fix her article up, I would be open to talking on Telegram, if you do have it.) --50.125.93.8 22:06, 26 November 2023 (EST)
