[edit] Clean-up.
Well, here, let's talk about me for a sec.
While I appreciate the little steps to correct strictly necessary format and link issues (the 'contributor' block needed moving but I kept forgetting to do so, and 'Convention staff' really did seem a goofy category) I'm not so sure about your more vague taste-based changes, especially given the errors in them. If you have specific comments about confusing wording, that's one thing, but I'd like to ask you to refrain from style imposition otherwise.
Now... what precisely do you intend by the notion of 'paragraphs rather than bullet points'?
Anyhow, I'll hold off reverting things until we have this hashed out.
- I'll reply to this on the talk page of the article about you. -- Sine 23:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mermaid
I was about to make a species page "Mermaid" and I saw the message that it had been created and deleted already. In the deletion log, you say that it is not furry. They are in the furcode. I know four furs that are also mermaids or mermen, including my character Dylan Addison. I have swam at RCFM and MFM as Dylan along with Nova Sunami, a furry mermaid, and Peke, Santa Fox's penguin character. The current featured article, "Greek mythology," mentions centaurs, satyrs, and fauns which are also half human. I would like to know the reasoning behind excluding mermaids and mermen.

[edit] ~7~CyanFOX~7~
Hey Sine, if you feel like incorrectly cleaning up my page that's fine but just because everyone else lazily and incorrectly shortens my name to CyanFOX without the pre and postfix ~7~'s does not mean that's my name... ~7~CyanFOX~7~ 23:44, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
maybe i should redirect Sin to this article because it's easier to type that too? http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/User:%7E7%7ECyanFOX%7E7%7E was how if you even bothered to check my diff on my article how it originally read that was "too autistic" for most of you so people kindly decided to clean my article up :3 which i was very grateful for. notwithstanding, however, people take liberty as to how to actually spell my name; see, it's too difficult to copy and paste my name verbatim with the ~7~'s so it's usually and coincidentally for that matter incorrectly ( lazily ) shortened to CyanFOX... but why if that really was my name do i EVEN HAVE THE BLOODY ~7~'s to begin with? because they are a non-ascii character represented in ascii it's on my legal drivers license and my legal signature it's very old: from many many many years before i even took the name ``CyanFOX as many of you enjoy to shorten my name to... It has to deal with who i Was before I came into the fandom; it has to deal with my spirituality; and it also has to deal with providing me with a symbol that I can use as my "Initials" when I'm asked to "Initial here!" I don't wish for this to sound as derrogatory or dimminutive towards you... It just irritates me that you felt the need to implement an incorrect redirect to a name that IS NOT FORMALLY ENDORSED by me and if you only did simple research ( if you bothered to check out my user talk page or diff back to the original article in which I personally penned ) you'd have realized that I mastered the copy / paste and actually refer to myself as ~7~CyanFOX~7~ throughout the entire article... Imagine that... ~7~CyanFOX~7~ 00:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Zephyr Panthur
Hi Sine,
I was wondering about the requests for cites you placed in the article on Zephyr Panthur, about his species and the documentary he saw. As the original article appears to have been written by the subject himself, is there any particular reason to doubt his word? If a cite is still needed regarding his species, the fursuit database entry for his 2nd fursuit lists him as "fox, lynx".

- As suggested by adding the tags, I'd like to know where the fursona description came from--the character in the image (and in other images, from a short look at the person's website) looks like a Red Fox to me, no obvious Lynx parts let along Fennec, and as for the reference to a documentary... if there's a documentary about Hitler with anthropomorphic art, I'd like to know about it if only to start an article on same! -- Sine 19:40, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Kyle "Kay" Fox
You moved Kyle "Kay" Fox to Kayfox, I would prefer it to be at Kyle "Kay" Fox because thats how I prefer my name. But considering the edit history of the article, I'm not really an authority on myself, go right ahead and do whatever you want. Kayfox 20:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] My Userpage & according pic
First of, thank you for updating my userpage and adding an article. You left the "meaningful name needed" template at my former fursona pic, here: http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Image:65c397b7.jpg I reuploaded the pic with a new filename, here: http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Realzero-fursona.jpg and already changed the linking in both, userpage and article. I don't know what to do with the old file now (blanking, deleting, what and how to do). It would be nice if you could tell me or directly do it. Thanks again, awaiting your orders^^. Greetings, RealZero 16:01, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and deleted the duplicate image. Thank you for reuploading it, and for your comment here! Welcome to WikiFur. -- Sine 01:01, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- So, it's me again. I don't know about this, so I'm gonna ask you first: As I'm not an artist I would have never dared to create an article about me myself, but now as it is already there I think it could also be expanded to get it out of the stub category. Now my question: How much do you think should bei ncluded in an article about a non-artist furry? There are many things on my userpage, like describtions of my bobbies and so on, but wouldn't it be too much to write this all into an article that in all probability will not be very important to other people? Just tell me what you think please, I don't want to brag or something like that, but on the other side you should always extend stubs if you're capable of, right? Thanks for your answer in advance, greetings, RealZero 15:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's really a matter of taste. Personally I prefer short articles on people, even unto stubs, but that isn't a universal preference. I suggest you raise the question on Talk:RealZero, or in the WikiFur Forum, to get some others' opinions. Thank you for asking, and sorry I myself don't have much of an answer! -- Sine 20:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Hobart Starr
Hi, you left a "cleanup" template on this page I created. If you'd note what you want cleaned up, I'll be glad to render what help I can. Is it that I referred to him by his real name? He uses that when posting his games to Newgrounds, among other things. I know it's very short, but I don't really have a lot of info and most of what I know is covered in the external links (e.g., list of games he's done). Bgoldnyxnet 03:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
