This article is primarily sourced from WikiFur, which is not a reliable source. I've removed the template at the bottom. But this article needs to be properly sourced. The existing text can't stay because the source is not reliable, but not having a source template would violate WikiFur's GFDL license. I'll wait a couple days, if anyone can find a source for this information other than Wikifur. If not, I'm going re-nominate the article for deletion, especially since, aside from promoting Wikifur as an unreliable source, it still contains a number of copyrighted images, as noted above.

[edit] Artist for the cover of Issue 15

As far as I remember, Eugene Arenhaus was the guest artist for the cover of Issue 15 Volume 2. Correct me if I'm wrong. LabFox 11:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

not sure, Shawntae Howard himself e-mailed me the cover to update the page - RVDDP2501 16:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I found some references. Shawntae Howard posted this preview on deviantART. There he said that it was a collaboration between Eugene Arenhaus and him (pencils by Eugene Arenhaus, coloring by Shawntae Howard), but he also said that Eugene Arenhaus' final work will be better. That sounds as if the final cover has been both drawn and colored by Eugene. And when Shawntae posted the final cover in the Club Extinctioners Yahoo Group back in 2005 (see this message), the signature on the picture only contained Eugene. So it looks like the final cover has been done entirely by him. Maybe you should just ask Shawntae about this. LabFox 18:20, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm.... I think your right about Eugene Arenhaus, I'll just place his name then, thanks for your help, is there anything else that could use changing? - RVDDP2501 23:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. I haven't found anything else, I'll check the article more thoroughly this evening. By the way, I suppose you would prefer discussing any changes here first due to recent arguments about the contents of the article, right? LabFox 09:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

yes, I think talking about ideas here first before making changes to the page would be the best apporach concidering how the page originally looked before which sparked it possible deletion by several admins., btw, do you have any ideas on how to further improve the quality of this page? - RVDDP2501 21:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Not really, I don't have any ideas to improve the quality, I think the article is fine as it it. But I read it again and found a couple of minor things that could be changed.

First off, in "Plot and Setting", you could add that one of the main reasons to send the humanimals to Alden first was that the humans found it to be too risky to go themselves. In the sentence "so they sent a seeding of humanimals with human trainers to the planet to terraform the planet", the second "planet" could be replaced with "it", so it doesn't sound too repetitive. The last sentence in "Plot and Setting" doesn't have a verb.

In Phenix's description, both "Phoenocian" and "phoenix" are given as her species. I guess it would be better to use only one term, preferably the first one since it has been defined by Shawntae for the comic, maybe with a link to the Wikipedia article about phoenixes. And just as a side note, in the Yahoo Groups I've seen two spellings for her species, "Phoenician" and "Phoenocian". I'm not sure if both are correct or only one of them.

Katherine's body possession is described as working through eye contact. From what we've seen in the comics, she can use a gaze to "freeze" her opponent, but has to enter the body and mind of a person to possess him/her. Refer to issue 14 page 20 and issue 15 page 1 for details.

Finally, in Reggy Brighttail's description, his power shouldn't be written capitalized since all powers within the article are written that way.

Well, that's it. By the way, nice article! If I have any new ideas, I'll let you know. LabFox 18:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

thanks for your reply, hmmm.... I'm not sure how to go about correcting some of the suggestions you have made but there is one thing I do not understand, you mentioned Reggy Brighttail's description and his powers being capitolized, I can't seem to find what you are talking about? - RVDDP2501 00:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, what I meant was that the first letter was capitalized, the rest is okay. If you have any further questions, just ask :) LabFox 13:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah... no problem, I think I fixed the capitol problem you mentioned. Sure, if I have any more questions, I'll let you know, btw, how does the wikifur version of the page look in your opinion? - RVDDP2501 14:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Haven't read the whole page there yet, I'll check it and comment on it at Wikifur. LabFox 21:04, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Um, RVDDP2501, didn't you consider any of my suggestions? Or didn't you have time to look into them yet? LabFox 16:34, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
