Talk:List of anthropomorphic comics

message: This list is creeped with redlinks for no apparent reason. Maybe we should keep them out before their actual articles are created? • Ekevu • ♥ • ★ 17:49, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The redlinks can be an encouragement to write the articles.  Someone with knowledge about a subject can see right away that an article is needed.  --Coyoty 19:42, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's also been suggested that some of these should be converted to links to WikiFur, particularly in the cases where there is very little chance of an article being created (or remaining for any length of time) on Wikipedia. GreenReaper 15:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redlinks? 

message: I noticed webcomics The Suburban Jungle and Supermegatopia are both in comic book list. How about moving the items in "comic strips and webcomics" list into "comic book" sections? 
Notations could be added such as "The Suburban Jungle (webcomic and comic books)" (SJ started as webcomic) and "Wild Frontier (comics) (comic book and webcomic)" (WF started as comic book and is now being converted into a webcomic). --EarthFurst 04:25, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Currently List of furry comics webcomics list includes Spare Parts, but Spare Parts is about an audio drama. I found a Spare Parts webcomic but it is not furry (from the strips I looked at). Is there a furry webcomic named Spare Parts? --EarthFurst 22:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm guessing when Spare Parts was added to the list, the adder was confused because one of the creators of Spare Parts (Isabel Marks) also creates a furry webcomic (named Namir Deiter). --EarthFurst 18:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I just axed them all, being formatted like internal links implies endorsement of accuracy and such, if the red links need to go away they should be external links to the webcomics home page or something.  Wikipedia don't need to be endorsing WikiFur.  Miltopia 20:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The same could be said of all links to articles on other wikis.  Yet the ability to link to other wikis in this manner exists, so thus one would assume there are situations where it is appropriate to use such links.  Does Wikipedia have a policy or guideline that governs this? --Mwalimu59 21:00, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would guess it's for discussion purposes, not for encyclopedic purposes.  Even so, it should be clear that the links are external to avoid the appearance of endorsement.  And a better external link would be to the website of the comic in question, yes?  Miltopia 21:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If they're looking for an encyclopedic treatment of a furry comic that is deemed non-notable by Wikipedia, probably the best place is WikiFur. In many cases, Wikipedia has already decided it doesn't wish to host such an article by the action of deleting it. In that case, I think making a red link is a bad idea because it just encourages the article to be made again, only to be deleted, and provides no useful information to the user. Linking to WikiFur gives them what they were looking for, as well as the actual link to the comic. That's why we did it. GreenReaper 22:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: See, that's just an opinion though, or a subjective evaluation, not like a well-documented fact.  It wouldn't be neutral for Wikipedia to treat WikiFur as a credible encyclopedia in article space, any more than it would be to treat any other wiki as such.  Miltopia 23:05, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's "an encyclopedic treatment of a furry comic" one is looking for, I'd be glad to look into any alternative sources besides WikiFur and make a comparison (besides Wikipedia, that is; remember, it's the ones deemed non-notable by Wikipedia we're discussing here).  I'm not aware of any other sources but if you are I'm willing to be educated.  While WikiFur might not be as credible as Wikipedia, if it's the most credible source available I don't see why there should be a problem with linking to it. --Mwalimu59 23:27, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It ain't a credible source. Anyone can edit it. Same reason that Wikipedia doesn't cite itself for sources. Voretustalk 17:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia seems to have acquired quite a significant amount of credibility despite this fact, given the number of people who rely on it for information. People rely on the process of editing by knowledgeable users to reduce or eliminate errors in the long run. WikiFur has fewer editors than Wikipedia, but they have more than a passing familiarity with the topics covered. GreenReaper 18:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  ISSNs 

message: To meet the new criteria for inclusion (the work must be catered predominantly to furry fans), I've removed the following items:
* Blacksad (appears to have a large, diverse audience in Europe, which has relatively few furry fans)
* Cerebus (began in the 70s, when it certainly wouldn't have been aimed at furry fans; has a large mostly non-furry following)
* Gold Digger (only one character is an anthropomorphic animal; appears to be catered primarily to manga fans)
* Heebas (just a redirect to Furrlough)
* Samurai Cat (found very little information about it online, is not on WikiFur)
* Rocket Raccoon (Marvel character created in early 80s, when furries were too few to be noticed or catered to by Marvel; is not on WikiFur)
* Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! (lasted only from 1982-83, when furries were too few to be noticed or catered to by DC)
* Thunder Bunny (only anthropomorphic animal character is actually a human boy who can shapeshift into the form of a humanoid animal alien race or some other convoluted process, in any case I don't see it being catered to furry fans; also is not on WikiFur)
* Funny Farm (This was helpful from the author: "Is Funny Farm a furry comic? Not really. Not to me, anyway.")
* Swamp Fox (furry, but has no article on Wikipedia, so I can only assume is not notable enough for Wikipedia)
* Nautilus (same)
* Fuzzy Things (same)
* Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures (same)
* The Foxfire Chronicles (same)
* Get Fuzzy (mainstream newspaper comic)
* Over the Hedge (same)
* VG Cats (primary audience is gamers, not furry fans; interestingly, WikiFur states explicitly "VGCats is not a furry webcomic.")
I'm unsure about the following, so I've just tagged them with :
* Hepcats (found no description of it being furry, but author was a guest of honor at ConFurence 1)
* Usagi Yojimbo (has large non-furry audience, but I'm not certain it's not catered to furry fans [or at least contemporary funny animal fans, which arguably may be the same thing])
* Space Usagi (spin-off of Usagi Yojimbo)
* Bucky O'Hare (title character created in late 70s, before the furry fandom existed, but the actual comics did not exist until the mid-80s; has an article on WikiFur, but otherwise unknown audience)
* Kevin and Kell (furry or not? I don't know)
Notes:
* Atomic Mouse - began in 1952, well before the furry fandom existed, but is now licensed to furry comic publisher Shanda Fantasy Arts. This revival would probably be considered furry.
* Lackadaisy - the author says: "Q. Are you a furry? A. Uh. I'm not entirely sure what that means. I draw furries (if you can't think of a less schmaltzy name for them), but I'm actually a not-very-furry upright primate." So, if the characters are furries, the comic itself probably is too.
Phew. That took a while. Any clarification of the ones I'm unsure about would be helpful, and please challenge any errors I've made. -kotra (talk) 00:40, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I have a good friend who has a furry webcomic. He has a fanbase I can't really estimate it's size and over 150 issues. It's very good, and I'm spreading it around in Israel in order to bring the Furry Fandom there too (I'm the only furry in Israel), and it's working, to a minimal extent. If I remember correctly, it got to a very good position on some important list of webcomics. Does it qualify to get into the list? Here's the link: http://www.concessioncomic.com Siúnrá (talk) 14:03, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I like Concession, too. The requirement however is that it has a Wikipedia article (e.g. Concession (webcomic). I am not sure whether it has the reliable sources for that. Can you find any third-party reviews from such sources? GreenReaper (talk) 15:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

message: What about that comic - it has been running for over 5 years now, with a new strip twice a week. Link to the comic. I think it should be included. Especially Fisk is quite popular among Furries. --Jojo, 27 December 2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.104.123.182 (talk) 08:29, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Make the article and we'll talk. But you'll have to draw on reliable third-party references, otherwise it's liable to be deleted again. GreenReaper (talk) 02:30, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't written or even gravely edited any Wikipedia articles yet, so I don't think I'm up to the task... But I think someone should do it, since at least for example on The Belfry Comic Web Index it's the number one most read comic, though I don't know how important/frequented this site is. Perhaps it would work to inherit(?) the text from another wiki? (BTW, I'm the one who also wrote the question, I only have an account now.)--Runoratsu (talk) 23:02, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Addition: There seems to be a (revised?) copy of the old Wikipedia article... but there are no references either. Hmm. Wouldn't it be possible to include the comic to the list and link it to the corresponding wikifur page? Or is there another reason why you wouldn't like to have it inluded here?--Runoratsu (talk) 23:35, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This list is for only notable comics (notable by Wikipedia standards); and while "Better Days" may be notable, we need reliable sources asserting it as such. Having a well-referenced Wikipedia article is a handy way to judge that it's notable. Unfortunately, reliable sources are hard to come by for furry topics, but winning comics awards, its artist being featured at a convention, or being covered in the media might be good enough for asserting notability. If there's anything like that, drop me a line on my talk page and I'll be happy to start an article on it. -kotra (talk) 00:02, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
