 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 13:24, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A small subset of furries (~10%), called “therians,” believe they are spiritually connected to animals, are less than (or more than) 100% human, are an animal trapped in a human body, or were an animal in a former life. Otherkin, like therians, feel spiritually connected to non-human species, but the species extend to mystical species, e.g., dragons, griffons, and minotaurs. this Ausername4269 (talk) 14:13, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not without a cited source. AndyTheGrump (talk) 14:17, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There's already an article on therians. And as AndyTheGrump says, we cannot tie this to the furry fandom without reliable sources. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 15:34, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources to demonstrate this site's notability. You are also advised to write the article first. Liu1126 (talk) 01:44, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Liu1126: The last part poses a problem due to this editor's conflict of interest. They would need to follow the policy if they were to draft an article. Jalen Folf (talk) 04:30, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

need improvement

[edit]

paragraph 65 should have a link to the survey and/or be updated with a more recent survey to increase credibility. MCFY83 (talk) 12:57, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The cite is to the research paper which conducted the survey. We don't need to show the original data here. And if you can find a newer survey that fits WP:RS, please feel free to point us in that direction. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 13:20, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i have no idea where the site is help MCFY83 (talk) 15:52, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ID of the "pair of cartoonists" who created Vootie

[edit]

Reed Waller and Ken Fletcher were the pair of cartoonists, who started it up in Minneapolis. A scan of a flyer they made to discuss it can be found here (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19451045/), but a Google search of their names might be able to provide a better source to to reference. There's loads of pages though, so it would be great if someone who's allowed to edit this can find a more appropriate one. 2603:7080:9D40:66C1:845B:1DB7:474A:446 (talk) 21:43, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit late where I am but it's a start to have the artists named; I added the link to the page as a primary source to confirm it. Any input by other editors is appreciated here! Reconrabbit 03:08, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
