Wikipedia:WikiProject Furry

Welcome to WikiProject Furry! This group is dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of the furry fandom.


 * Goals
 * To expand content related to the furry fandom, and improve existing articles to good or featured article status, ultimately making furry fandom a featured topic.


 * Scope
 * All topics relevant to the furry fandom, including animation, artwork, comics, conventions, games, films, lifestyles, people, stories, and television and radio programs.


 * WikiProject Furry assessment

Guidelines

 * Don't add articles without sources. Lack of good sources is the number one cause of deletionism in Wikipedians.
 * Users shouldn't need intimate knowledge of the furry fandom to be able to verify an article. Learn how to use references. See Furry convention and Samuel Conway for examples.
 * There is no such thing as a "good" or "bad" fact - it's either verifiable or it's not. If you think it may be misleading, explain the context, but let readers come to their own conclusions.
 * Be careful copying from WikiFur. Some information may be inappropriate for Wikipedia. Further sources will probably be required. If you do copy, use an appropriate attribution template.
 * Link to WikiFur only if it goes beyond Wikipedia's maximum depth of coverage. Use "Article name at WikiFur" or "Article name", not just "Article name". Add to External links.
 * Avoid adding the project banner to an article's talk page unless the article shows a clear relation to this project's topic. If it's not clear, add relevant information to the article first.

New articles
Please feel free to list your new Furry-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Page.

Requested articles

 * Lists of reputable furry forums and non-yiff sites, primarily for the use of those new to the fandom
 * Things to bear in mind is that Wikipedia is not a web directory, and there is a lack of reliable sources on the topic. I imagine a list could be written in close to an encyclopedic manner (see list of furry conventions), but defining what "reputable" is concerns me, as does the idea that we would censor it based on a sexual content. What business do we have hiding such sites from anyone? The closest I think we could come to an actual article is something like history of furry fandom, which would discuss the larger sites in a historical context. A pure list is probably best left to others, such as the Recommended Anthropomorphics List. GreenReaper (talk) 22:37, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This has been partially implemented at furry fandom, however it does not contain any specific forums (just community forums) as none of them stood out as notable, nor does it restrict itself to PG sites (as Wikipedia is not censored). GreenReaper (talk) 18:06, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Better Days (see WikiFur) - will need good sourcing. Add to disambig on creation.
 * Two Kinds needs to be added...
 * Niic the Singing Dog, furry singer-songwriter from Philadelphia. 66.87.149.228 (talk) 04:33, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

 * 1) Been in the fandom for a few years. Currently trying to reinstate Category:Furry Wikipedians and am working on Draft:A Tail of Identity (short documentary)
 * 2) Relative Newfur. I'll do anything that I can to provide for our Wikiproject.  ^w^
 * 3) Just some scalie. I am mostly here to create more articles for this wikiproject.
 * 4)  - Mainly webcomics, but also TV and Radio.
 * 5)  - General editing, cleanup, and sourcing.
 * 6)  - All things furry. WikiProject organization and promotion.

 * 9)  - All things furry, including but not limited too: general cleanup, assessment, and sourcing.
 * 10)  - Vandalism reversion, Formatting and WikiML fixing. Sometimes adding references.
 * 11)  - Furries/funny animals in media and general culture, games, movies, and so on, as well as the history of anthropomorphic animals.
 * 12)  - I'm knowledgeable in the more obscure parts of the fandom, as well as a counter-vandal and general cleanup man.
 * 13)  - Not that knowledgeable, but I'll help out where I can.
 * 14)  - Well, I don't know much about things, but I can always write about fluffiness! ...and games.
 * 15)  - don't expect much editing from me, though (something that's actually true for me for the entirety of Wikipedia)
 * 16)  - I'm mostly part of the Sonic Sub-fandom, but I have a fairly decent knowledge of other Furry areas of interest, too. Also, regular cleanup.
 * 17)  - furry art, furry role-playing games (especially World Tree). I don't have as much time to edit Wikipedia as I used to, but I'll do what I can.

 * 22)  - Check for Vandalism whenever possible.
 * 23)  - Information vegetable, animal, and mineral. Also, I can spot textacular errors 50 Internets away, I am good Public Relations, and I can write things.

 * 34)  - Editing, contributions, improving furry articles, adding new ones if possible, removing vandalism from furry haters, adding furry webcomics. I try to stop misinformation and disinformation of the fandom by telling the real purpose and truth of the Furries and what reason the fandom is meant for without negativity and hatred. I have been a furry fan since I was a child due to my love of animals and old anthropomorphic animal cartoons. I read a lot furry webcomics, graphic novels, manga, novels, and information. I even enjoy playing furry games. My furry interests is much similar and different from other furry fans. I support Furries!

Supporters

 * : I was originally exposted to CSI episode that scared me, but my interactions with your community has lead me to start reviewing your articles (as well as an unknowningly related one).
