[edit] Bunny Fu

I made "Bunny Fu" into a link because I would like to see someone write that up. --Nerdvana 02:59, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Is there enough published to make an encyclopedia entry about "Bunny Fu"? Chip Unicorn 05:05, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism?

Am I the only one who thinks this entry has too many sentences lifted out of the Stefan O' Sullivan external link? [1] Michael Bauser 04:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

IMO, not enough to warrent a copy-vio, but more then there should be. I just added this to my watch list and will be working on cleaning it up once I get the deletion and source tags removed. Turlo Lomon 11:00, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Any concerns should be cleaned up now. More work ongoing as well. Turlo Lomon 15:38, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move

After this AFD is handled, I would like to move this page to Bunnies & Burrows with a redirect from this page. That is the published name of the book. Also, we should have a redirect from GURPS Bunnies & Burrows. Turlo Lomon 15:38, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Furry?

There is talk on Template talk:Furry fandom discussing whether B&B is about furries. A third opinion would be nice, especially from someone who knows B&B. >Radiant< 14:10, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Honestly, that group scares me, so I am posting here instead of there. What they decide I will support, because it would mean further support for this article, but I do not think B&B, or specifically, Watership Down, is a Furry topic. The animals are not anthrimorphic (spelling?) but real animals. However, if they want to expand their area of focus to include items such as this, I welcome the support. Turlo Lomon 06:57, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

It's not a matter of "support for this article". This article is notable, sourced, and meets all the requisite policies, therefore how many people "support" it is irrelevant. >Radiant< 12:09, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear that we scare you. I suggest you come to one of our local furry conventions and see what it is like. :-) As Radiant says, it's more a question of whether or not it is in the genre. Not all furry characters are human-shaped; fursuits mostly are, but they are just one aspect of furry fandom, and limited by their wearers. However, almost all furry characters have aspects of what we would normally describe as a "human mind", and the subtitle of "roleplaying in a world of intelligent animals" seems to fit this. The important point is whether or not the characters depicted are, as Penny Arcade once put it - "people who are also animals", with an emphasis on the people part. I have not played B&B myself, but its description and the reviews linked here appear to support this definition, which is why WP:FURRY has an interest in this article.

Let's just say a certain CSI episode scarred me for life. Turlo Lomon 16:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, Fur and Loathing. Let's also say it's . . . not entirely accurate. Remember, they sell entertainment; a sexual fetish is much more entertaining than a geeky fan community. GreenReaper 18:02, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

B&B is definitely not a RPG specially made for the furry fandom, however I think it would fit into the scope of this subculture and the wikiproject. --Yamavu 07:30, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bunnies and burrows.jpg

Image:Bunnies and burrows.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
