WikiFur's 2200th entry was penned today, just two weeks after we passed the 2000-mark. We've had several really good new pages added, many of which are noted at the Did you know? page. If you've not dropped by Furry Central recently, check them out! Don't forget we've got that new Community Central, too.
It has not escaped my notice that Midwest FurFest is approaching, especially with the nifty upcoming events list we just added. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to attend myself - for one thing, it seems I've left it a little too late, hotel-wise (I promise I'll be more organized for Anthrocon, Giza! ;-).
Still, I'm sure a significant proportion of people reading this are trekking off to Chicago this weekend. If you happen to be wondering what to talk about to that furry sitting next to you (on the plane, in the artist's alley, or waiting in line to collect that Super Sponsor badge), do remember that there's this great new website you stumbled across at WikiFur.com . . . *grins*
OK, so it's a bit sneaky, but there's going to be plenty of eager fans at the con, and I'm sure a lot of them would be more than interested to hear about an online furry encyclopedia. The more contributors, the more interesting articles we'll get to read, too! Maybe for the future we should consider organizing something like a WikiFur con-badge - after all, we've already got over 80 Wikifurries. :-)
Oh, and that reminds me - we seem to be in contention for the title of Featured Wikicity. If you think that WikiFur deserves a little exposure on the front page of wikicities.com, please consider voting for us (make sure you're logged in, first). Even if we don't make the cut for December, your votes will still count for January. Help us get the word out!

Ahem. I'm afraid that our registration lines are so short there's not much time for conversation. I'm just sayin' :-)
Y'know, if there were an informational flyer for WikiFur that just happened to find its way into my inbox by tomorrow, I could probably run off some copies and put them on the freebie table, since it's right across from Registration and all. Drop me a line if you're interested, GR.

Aww . . . but that's the best place for social interaction! Everyone's way too busy enjoying the programming to actually talk to people once they've got into the con. ;-)

That sounds like a great idea (and a generous offer) - let's see if that "email user" button works . . .

If not (it looks like there's been a ton of upgrades going on lately, and things can break), my e-mail addy is on my user page.

Frappr?
Would it be interesting/worth it to set up a Frappr account for Wikifur?. For those that don't know what Frappr is, it's a website built upon Google Maps which allows anyone to put a pin where you live, or a point of interest is located. It could list Cons, servers, furry houses, fans and artists, etc... Just FYI. Here is an example for MFM:http://www.frappr.com/mephitfurmeet

Re: Frappr?
Feel free to if you want . . . I personally think that it's likely to be fairly redundant with all the other furry fandom frappr pages that have sprung up. Not that I wouldn't add myself if it was actually made, of course! *grins*Anonymous

The best thing to do for most Wikipedia articles is to talk about the furry aspects and then refer people to the Wikipedia article for more details that are non-specific to the furry fandom (other Wikipedia articles might also be linked).
In this specific case, there's been discussion of that on the talk page.
